This restaurant is the best place to eat in the US, according to Yelp

A New York City restaurant has claimed the top spot on Yelp’s list of the best places to eat in the U.S.

Yelp this week released its 13th annual Top 100 Places to Eat in the U.S., showcasing standout restaurants for 2026 based on reviews and ratings from the platform’s online community. 

Ci Siamo, an Italian restaurant in Manhattan led by chef Hillary Sterling, was named No. 1.

Part of restaurateur Danny Meyer’s hospitality group, Ci Siamo is known for its classic Roman-inspired pasta dishes, including its popular rigatoni alla Gricia, according to Yelp.
