Ci Siamo

Ci Siamo is an Italian-inflected restaurant from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group and Chef Hillary Sterling, coming to Commonwealth Pier in Boston’s Seaport. Sterling is known for centering her menus on live-fire cooking and seasonal ingredients, and the Boston restaurant is set to bring that same live-fire, Italian spirit. Its directory listing places it among the Seaport’s restaurants for seafood, cocktails and wine.

The name translates as “here we are” or “we’ve finally arrived,” meant to capture the feeling of clinking glasses after a long week or the relief of a familiar smile. The original Ci Siamo in New York built its reputation by bridging traditional Italian cooking with a contemporary, transportive dining room. Union Square Hospitality Group, founded by Danny Meyer, is behind well-known New York restaurants including Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern.
