The recent ownership change has not changed what is a wonderful restaurant dining experience. White cloth tablecloths and napkins, attentive service from Amy (who also tends bar), and the marvelous food. How can you go wrong? And the shots of limoncello (gratis) at meal's end seals the deal.

Mega Margarita Monday is always great. Our Golden Margaritas and pizzas were delicious. The calamari was overcooked, dry, but everything else excellent. Always a fun evening.

Siena is a welcoming Italian restaurant in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, offering an authentic Tuscan dining experience. Our menu features fresh, simple dishes inspired by Tuscany's kitchens and wine bars. As you enter Siena, you'll feel transported to a charming Italian trattoria with warm lighting and exposed brick walls. Our attentive staff ensures a memorable dining experience. Siena's menu celebrates Tuscan cuisine. Start with an antipasti board of cured meats, cheeses, and olives. For your main course, choose from pasta dishes like our signature Pappardelle al Cinghiale or Spaghetti alla Carbonara. For something heartier, try the Bistecca Fiorentina, a grilled steak with roasted vegetables. No meal is complete without dessert. Indulge in our decadent Tiramisu or refreshing Panna Cotta. We also offer a curated selection of Italian wines to enhance your meal. Whether it's a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends, Siena is the perfect choice.
