Born and raised in Brooklyn, Executive Chef Hillary Sterling first felt the pull of the industry as a teenager bussing tables during summers in Montauk, New York. She’s since worked alongside renowned chefs Bobby Flay and Missy Robbins, and has built her career in celebrated New York restaurants such as Mesa Grill, Lupa, A Voce, and Vic’s. Today, Chef Hillary helms the kitchen at Ci Siamo where she’s created an ambitious restaurant centered around live fire cooking and the understated excellence of seasonal ingredients. The culmination of her diverse culinary training and extensive travels, Ci Siamo is Hillary’s most personal project to date and celebrates the power of simplicity.
