Located in the historic Hell’s Kitchen, Sesamo is a beloved neighborhood restaurant that takes a bold and innovative approach to cooking and cocktails. Representing the diverse backgrounds we come from, our executive chef and mixologist incorporate the best ingredients from different worlds, and combine them with Italian traditions, to create our unique Asian-influenced Italian menu. Our menu changes seasonally and offers gluten-free and vegan options.
“My boyfriend and I came here before a Broadway show and it was such a perfect fit. We couldn’t decide between Italian and sushi and here, we didn’t have to! We made reservations ahead of time but honestly could’ve been okay without it. Reviews online recommended the salmon crispy rice and the bread - they are correct. Phenomenal. We also got the hibiscus mocktail to share and it was like the best margarita we’ve ever had without the headache. Most importantly, our entrees were beyond belief. I got the yellow coconut curry salmon and the sauce over the black rice sent me to the moon. He got the miso cod with taro mash and cleaned that plate. We didn’t have room for dessert but I’m still daydreaming about the matcha tiramisu that the table next to us got. Will definitely be coming back!!”
“One of my favorite dining experiences of all time. Incredible food. Insane ambience. So classic. My auntie lives in the neighborhood, so I make it a point to go here every chance I get. Absolutely wonderful.”
“I'd been dying to try this place for over a year and finally made it happen. Honestly, it was amazing! We went all out and ordered 5 appetizers and 3 entrees to split between us. The menu had so many good options that picking was tough, but everything we got was incredible. We even got to meet the owners, which was really cool—they told us all about how they started the restaurant and it was such a great story. This place is seriously a hidden gem. Already planning my next visit!”
“We had the crispy salmon nigiri, toasted sesame bread and butter, enter salad, duck ragu, osso buco, and miso chicken. Everything was delightful and rich in flavor. The service is 10/10 and shout out to Melanie for recommending the orange marmalade and chocolate bitter espresso martini, it’s the best in town! I also forgot an item here and they kept it safe for me to pick up the next day. I will be back ❤️”
“We came for lunch and had an amazing meal. The uni tagliolini and miso Carbonara are must-tries—the Japanese twist on these classics are delicious. Service was fast and welcoming. They also take InKind, which is super convenient. This place is a sleeper hit; go before it gets too hard to get a table!”
