Ci Siamo is the best place to eat in New York according to Yelp

The best place to eat in New York according to Yelp in 2026 is Ci Siamo, which is like a 5-minute walk from our block (yelp.com/article/top-100-us-restaurants-2026).

Can confirm that this place is very cool, and I offer the following testimonial. My parents visited NYC recently and wandered into Ci Siamo with no reservation on a Thursday night. The servers sat them down within 10 minutes next to the bar (I arrived a little late) and then really killed the lamb chops and smashed potatoes. Brought us non-alcoholic cocktails and cookies after dinner for no particular reason. No pretentiousness for a restaurant of this quality—and straight quality. Decor is cool inside and filled with well-to-do tourists and after-work Hudson Yards-types. Highly recommend.
