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.

- EEDUARDOVIPMexico City •14 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoNice atmosphere good overall is ok. Just not very satisfied with the pasta. I requested al dente and it was over cooked. The one with pork meat was not good taste but that is just my opinion. Appetizers are great and overall is very goodMore infoSixty Vines - DomainPrice: Moderate• American• Arboretum•4.7
