    My wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary at Siena Tavern and had a truly exceptional experience. We were seated outside on a beautiful evening in the city, and everything from the ambiance to the service exceeded expectations. Our server, Rylie, was fantastic—spunky, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. She paced the meal perfectly, allowing us time to enjoy each course without ever feeling rushed. Her attention to detail made a big impact on our experience. We also want to recognize the outstanding dining room attendant—a gracious older gentleman of Latin descent—who consistently ensured we had clean plates for sharing, fresh silverware, full water glasses, and thoughtful check-ins while Rylie tended to her other tables. His quiet efficiency and presence did not go unnoticed. As a chef myself, I truly appreciated the high standard of service and hospitality the team delivered. The food was equally impressive. We started with the Tuna Crudo and the Wagyu Meatball, and we’re still talking about how incredible that meatball was. For entrées, we had the Cacio e Pepe and the Short Rib—both seasoned beautifully and well-balanced. I had a mezcal cocktail (listed as Drink No. 14) that Rylie playfully referred to as the Patio Punch. It was striking in color, bold in flavor, and so good I had to order a second. My wife enjoyed a flavorful glass of red wine that paired wonderfully with each course. We ended with the Bomboloni—not quite as standout as the apps and entrées, but still a satisfying finish to an excellent meal. Thank you to the entire team for making our anniversary so memorable.

    Great food, atmosphere and service! We ate everything. We respectfully commented on a slight thing and they compensated greatly! We recommend Siena Tavern. Near the river too which is fun.

    My wife is a big fan of Fabio. I’ve been here several times while traveling for work, so when we decided to come to Chicago for a weekend, I made reservations to surprise her! We started out with the Coccoli. It was highly recommended by our waiter. We really enjoyed it. Not what we were expecting at all! They were like popovers. You break them open and stuff them with the prosciutto and cheese. Sooo good! For dinner my wife got the gnocchi and I ordered the spaghetti. The gnocchi were light and fluffy and the pancetta was a nice bit of salty goodness. The spaghetti has a cream sauce that was quite tasty and it was loaded with crab! I highly recommend this dish. Another great meal at Siena!
