Restaurant Manager

Ci Siamo is the new restaurant from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group and Chef Hillary Sterling, debuting this summer at Manhattan West.

Celebrating the beauty of simplicity, Ci Siamo will center around live-fire cooking. The Italian-inflected menu takes inspiration from Chef Sterling’s extensive travels and is rooted in the understated excellence of seasonal ingredients and purposeful preparations.

Ci Siamo, which loosely translates to we’ve made it or we’ve arrived, bridges the traditional with the contemporary to introduce a new space that is at once transportive yet warmly familiar.

Ci Siamo looks forward to participating in New York’s revival and welcoming the city to our home.
