Coastal warmth, brought to the table.

Inspired by the food and easy rhythm of the Mediterranean coast, Citria brings together a raw bar, wood-fired cooking, handmade pasta, premium steaks and bright, ingredient-driven cocktails. The room is polished but relaxed—made for date nights, business dinners, celebrations and the nights that weren't supposed to become anything special.

From the coast

Let the ingredients do the talking.

Oysters on ice. Whole branzino over the fire. Littleneck clams folded through handmade pasta. Citria's kitchen favors beautiful ingredients, thoughtful technique and just enough restraint.
