Ci Siamo: A Last-Minute Surprise That Delivered Big
Popped into Ci Siamo on a whim this past Monday night and was quickly welcomed and led to seats at the bar. From the start, the bartender set the tone—guiding us to the perfect dry white wine by the glass and offering recommendations that turned out to be spot on.
The prosciutto? Silky, melt-in-your-mouth perfection—none of that tough, stringy stuff you sometimes get. The beets with anchovies were boldly anchovy-forward in the best way, earthy with just the right hit of acid and umami. To top it off, they gifted us an escarole salad on the house, which rounded out the starters beautifully.
For mains, I was leaning toward something else, but at the bartender’s urging, we went with the cavatelli and stracci. God, was he right. The rabbit in the stracci was impossibly tender, and the broth had a depth of flavor that was rich but not heavy, with cracked black pepper bringing just the right amount of heat. The cavatelli, made gluten-free for my friend, was shockingly good—I’m not gluten-intolerant, and I still took her leftovers home. Between the crab, spice, acid, and salt, that dish was simply phenomenal.
Desserts didn’t disappoint either. We went with two recommended options, both fantastic, but the real standout moment was when the bartender, noticing our excitement over a lemon curd dessert my friend couldn’t have, surprised us with a scoop of gelato topped with lemon curd—on the house. Her little gluten-free heart was beyond happy.
Yes, it’s a bit pricey. Yes, there’s a lot of hype. But the quality of the food and the genuine care in the service make it all worth it. I’ll be back very soon.
This cozy Italian spot offers a celiac-approved, gluten-free dining experience with a quiet, intimate atmosphere far from the sports bar scene. Guests praise the great gluten-free options and pleasant, attentive service, making it ideal for those seeking safe, delicious meals.
