A polished and energetic restaurant in River North with Italian and Mediterranean influences, Siena Tavern prides itself on offering dishes made in-house, from-scratch. The menu was curated by Dineamic Hospitality's Chef/Partner, Fabio Viviani, also commonly known for his Celebrity Chef accolade as Bravo's "Top Chef Fan Favorite." The décor reflects a hybrid of a rustic Italian market, a fine dining restaurant and a modern, industrial tavern, bridging old world comfort and hospitality with a contemporary menu and design. When setting foot into this 10,000-square-foot eatery for lunch, dinner, happy hour, late night cocktails or weekend brunch, you can expect to taste the same fresh, from-scratch cooking across pastas, pizzas, mozzarellas, gelato and everything in between.

AWFUL! DON'T GO! From the time we arrived at the restaurant to the minute we left we were absolutely disappointed. Upon arrival we were notified that our table wasn't ready. This isn't a big deal as the restaurant was busy however, I was hoping the host would make eye contact or at least provide an apology and letting us know how much time we would have to wait. We proceeded to the bar to have a drink as we were told that we would receive a text when the table was ready. We did receive a text 20 minutes later so we settled up at the bar and headed to the host stand. When we got there she mentioned that it would be another 10 minutes and we would be texted again. Back to the bar we went. The 2nd text was received and we were told at the host stand that our table was given away because we didn't respond to the first text which was incorrect. The 2 Hosts didn't actually speak to each other so they had given the table away but still had our number to text again? Confusing and frustrating as the hosts seem to blame us instead of figuring it out between the 2 of them. We finally arrived at our table over a half an hour after our reservation. The interaction with the server was just as difficult as the Hosts where he would ask questions while walking away from the table or looking in another direction. THEN the food started to arrive. We ordered a mixture of appetizers as well as entrees however everything arrived at the table at the same time. Everything was sooooo salty, overcooked and cold. After our experience was coming to an end and the majority of the food was left on the table, we were charged a 3% surcharge on our bill with no explanation. Understanding restaurants have been through a lot the past 2 years, I think the best approach is honesty. "This surcharge is for...", etc. would be helpful to communicate to their guests. Super disappointed. I have no idea why the restaurant was as busy as it was.

The food was AMAZING - some of the best Italian in Chicago. However, the hostess was rude and condescending. I tried calling multiple times throughout the day to move the reservation time and add an additional person (and left a message) but got no response. I got there 12 minutes late as I said on the message but the rude hostess said I passed the 15 minute limit and I no longer had a table. She told us to sit at the bar but wouldn’t give us a wait time. We ended up just eating at the bar and the food definitely made up for the rude hostess. The bar tenders were so gracious and the drinks were amazing. I would go back again!

Had a wonderful time at Siena Tavern. Service was on point and food was absolutely delicious. We had the meatball and octopus for appetizer both of which were so tasty and well prepared. Everyone’s entree was perfect. Highly recommend spaghetti with lump crab. Good wine selection.

Delicious food, excellent service. We sat outside by choice. It's a beautiful day. Spring brings construction and there was work being done on the street so it was really loud. It was a fantastic meal and the noise was just slightly off-putting.

I enjoyed Siena tavern. The ambiance was energetic. The menu isn’t super extensive. The pasta is made in house which I thought was cool. The lasagna was okay and service was okay. You’re really paying for the location more than anything. It’s a nice date night spot. It’s pretty.

We went in for dinner and drinks, and I found the food to be disappointing. The pasta are all pretty expensive for what they are. Mine was dripping in butter (i love butter but this was over the top), so much soo i had to pour it on to another plate. The service was very slow. It took 15-20 mins to get water and longer for cocktails
