For over 20 years Siena has been Austin’s premier destination for authentic Tuscan cuisine. Locally owned and operated Siena's owners wanted to share their love of Tuscany with Austin diners. Utilizing the talents of long time veteran of the Austin food scene, Chef Harvey Harris, Siena's goal is to transport the dinner from the hills of North Austin to the rolling hills of Toscana. Chef Harvey received his Master's Chef in Italian cuisine while attending culinary school in Piedmonte Italy, but his heart is in Tuscany where he lived and worked. All food at Siena is prepared to order, pasta is made fresh daily as well as all stocks and sauces. Our food is complemented by an award-wining wine cellar and served in rustic, elegant surroundings of thick stone walls and tall wood-beamed ceilings. Whether visiting for happy hour, special event, or a romantic evening, experience the welcoming charm of Tuscany close to home.

You’ve never seen anything like this extravagantly decorated tiki-bar funhouse from TatsuAikawa and the team behind Ramen Tatsu-Ya, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya and dipdipdip Tatsu-Ya.Recently named one of the 40 best bars in Austin by Statesman critic Matthew Odam, TikiTatsu-Ya is disguised by a fake travel company on the outside, but stepping in, you’reimmediately transported to another world. The riotous colors, sound effects and over-the-toptropical cocktails in custom mugs and glasses feel like an island vacation or 21+ Disneyland.Shareable drinks come with fire shows, and even the food far surpasses typical bar fare withmouthwatering dishes like Spam Musubi, Crab Lagoon, Kalua Pork and the Pu Pu Platter, whichshouldn’t be missed. Reservations are recommended.

    The cocktails are absolutely unforgettable—crafted with precision.The presentation was Spectacular. Think flaming garnishes, whimsical mugs, and theatrical reveals. Every drink felt like a mini-performance. As for the food, just wow. The menu is packed with island fare that’s rich, bold, and perfect for sharing. The Spam Musubi was one of the best I’ve ever had: crispy, savory, and addictive. Everything we ordered was vibrant, flavorful, and beautifully plated. The service was also top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and enthusiastic staff made the experience feel even more festive. They clearly love what they do and it shows. Whether you're a cocktail connoisseur, a foodie, or just looking for a fun night out with friends, Tiki Tatsu-Ya delivers. It's a little slice of paradise in the heart of Austin, and I can’t wait to go back.
