Chef Hillary Sterling of Ci Siamo Has Arrived

Chef Hillary Sterling is one of the most respected chefs on the New York scene, having worked over the years at Mesa Grill, Lupa, A Voce, and Vic’s, honing her craft and becoming known for beautiful, seasonal, Italian-inspired cuisine. Today, Chef Hillary helms the kitchen—the very open kitchen—at Ci Siamo, the highly anticipated restaurant from Union Square Hospitality Group that opened in Manhattan West this past October. Hillary joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her early days bussing tables as a teen in Montauk, her decision to become a chef, working with the legendary pastry chef Claudia Fleming, and the highlights of the Ci Siamo menu.
