    I always love Siena Tavern! Feels like you’re out at a trendy club having dinner. Music level is great and not annoying. Food is amazing. You have to have the meatball appetizer. I love that there are so many people helping - so my water was always full. Frozen drinks were amazing if you like them sweet. Great selection of cocktails that are actually yummy. Our waiter was very attentive, but not friendly at all. Didn’t smile or seem to care. I was surprised. Too bad because the rest was great. But other than that, I love the vibe of the place and food so I’m coming back.

    Our party went to celebrate a graduation with an MBA, and we’re a little worried our in-laws wouldn’t like the Italian food that wasn’t a traditional red sauce and pasta type of place. Our worries quickly disappeared after the first course saw every plate cleaned. The food was superb and expertly prepared. We had the good fortune of having Taylor serve us, and she was wonderful at describing the dishes, as well as catering to a picky five year old. My wife and I visit Siena frequently, and based on this dinner, we will continue to do so. A heartfelt thank you to Taylor and the staff of Siena!

    Food was average, entree portions were not equal with price. More then anything, getting tired of seeing these 3% additional surcharges on my bill to assist in who knows what? It’s actually insulting as these restaurants are even busier then pre-covid and have raised menu pricing anywhere from 10-20% due to inflation. Doesn’t my dining at your establishment show my support for your restaurant and staff without an additional charge added on?

    Me and a friend were in visiting Chicago and were looking for a nice dinner spot. After looking around we saw this beautiful spot with great reviews and decided to give it a try, it did not disappoint! We absolutely loved it I got the gnocchi and it was mouth watering perfection. Highly recommend!

    Food was very good. Made from scratch, fresh, very tasty. However, my lasagna arrived burnt, not charred, burnt at the top with a black layer masked by grated cheese, and the lower layers were stuck onto the casserole. It should have never left the kitchen and brought onto a table. Staff was quick to remove the damaged food and propose an alternative. I got a Cacio and Pepe which was pretty good. Ambience is more like a contemporary American food restaurant, not an Italian one. But food was worth the visit and it would have been a great experience if not for the burnt lasagna.

    Our food was delicious! I ordered the Gnocchi and the drink number 2, I really could not have been happier with either the food or drink they were both AMAZING!! my boyfriend ordered the lasagna and an old fashioned, the lasagna was incredible! The old fashion was definitely on the strong side which is not my preference but my man enjoyed it! It felt like the waitstaff was trying to rush us and our waiter was not very attentive, knowledgeable or quick, but overall we had a great time and I would definitely recommend the Sienna Tavern!

    You’ll wait 10 minutes to be seated, when you have a reservation, and there are like tons of open tables. So that’s not a very fun start. Service is fine, slow but fine. Food is fine. Doesn’t make up for the wait. Don’t waste the time. Go across the street and have the same mediocre meal just be seated faster. Wouldn’t go back wouldn’t recommend.

    Meh. Fabio needs to revisit and decide if he wants to keep this place open. Both of our dishes would have gotten him sent home on Top Chef. Despite having a reservation we had to stand around for 10 - 15 minutes and then were seated at the ricketiest table. The table top rotated a full 45 degrees. My wife's lasagna was overdone and the gnocchi were gummy. The noise level was deafening. The only shining moment was the server who seated us at another table once it was free and then spent a full five minutes attempting to fix the one we had been at. Honestly it needed to be tossed, but her persistence was admirable.

    Tourist trap. Is restaurant for mass production. Drinks are premixed. Coffee was awful. Halibut was not fresh—pounded down, crusted and covered with garlic and capers and the side salad it came with was too tart to eat, Overpriced mediocre food. Not recommended.

    The wild mushroom and truffle risotto is amazing. Was a little disappointed that the kale salad had zero tomatoes in it which is what made it the best thing I ate last time I was there. That doesn’t really take away from it being an amazing meal overall with amazing service from the bar and wait staff.

    The food here was phenomenal! We did the four course tasting menu and everything was so yummy. I will definitely come back if I come back to Chicago. Very sad actually that I can’t come again without having to be in Chicago. If I was a local this would be a regular spot for me for sure.

    Noise level was not pleasant and not energetic. Restaurant was not warm enough for us. Lemon was a pervasive ingredient on a chicken dish unnecessarily overpowering on the accompanying salad and making otherwise nicely roasted potatoes soggy with lemon flavor. we noticed the lemon "heavy use" on an octopus appetizer dish but in that instance it worked very well. On the chicken it also was very good. A pleasant surprise was when asking about their Vegan menu. They were knowledgeable and the Vegan choices on the we ordered were flavorful and appreciated (Risotto). They do not mention Vegan choices on their menu but the waitress did a good job with this aspect. Pasta was excellent. We had 2 pasta dishes on our table. Chicago has enough restaurant options so I probably will not go back in the near future since my visits to Chicago are infrequent. Overall we certainly were happy with the fresh ingredients, sharp flavors and menu choices.

    This used to be my favorite restaurant and we celebrated a lot of special occasions there over the years. The quality of the food has gone down, but it was the incredibly slow service that solidified my decision that we will not be back. We had been seated at our table for +25 minutes before we got our drinks or any water. It was a disappointing dining experience.
