Ci Siamo, the home of celebrated chef Hillary Sterling, is located on the second floor of the Manhattan West building. While the restaurant admits on its website that it can be 'a bit tricky to find,' once you've made it to the elevator, you'll be greeted with a tray of stemless wine glasses nestled next to a couple of bottles of Chianti in straw baskets. A framed note that reads, 'Cheers! A little something to kick things off - enjoy a glass of wine on the ride up,' encourages visitors to get the festivities started before even entering the restaurant.
While the elevator wine might be free, the lunch certainly isn't. Ci Siamo is definitely a trendy, upscale kind of spot, and the prices reflect that. Oprah even threw bestie Gayle King a surprise 70th birthday party at the classy joint. The lunch and dinner menus offer simple yet comforting Italian fare like pizza bianca, focaccia, tagliatelle, and a selection of live-fire proteins alongside a robust list of wines perfect for pairing with comforting Italian favorites.
