Siena Tavern — River North italian that sets the standard. Good energy here, especially on weekends. Drink selection punches above its weight. "You'd probably be surprised to know the pizza is some of the best in the entire city" — Artful Dodger

Been there last year, it was the first place I’ve been to and can’t say a bad word about it. Absolutely amazing place, location, staff. Pizzas were also really good. If I ever go back to Chicago again this is the place im going to again. Here’s some pictures, so you can see it for yourself!

From the moment the hostess greeted us, the experience was very pleasant. Everyone was so kind. The menu is varied, and the waitress did a great job explaining the dishes to us. All our choices were spot on—we loved everything. The food was flavorful, portions were good, and the price was very fair. It was a great dinner! Everything was excellent.

“Kyle was absolutely phenomenal.”
Kyle was absolutely phenomenal! Service was divine and our servers demeanor was superb. The food was nothing short of delicious with plenty of leftovers. Definitely recommend. They also have a moodier atmosphere for those who care to know. This place is a must try.

“Been coming in to this restaurant for over eight years now whenever I visit Chicago.”
Been coming in to this restaurant for over eight years now whenever I visit Chicago. One of the most consistent restaurants there is. In every visit, food has been great, service on point and good vibes. You'd probably be surprised to know the pizza is some of the best in the entire city. The burnt pepperoni and truffle mushroom are so good! Staff is very friendly and conversational. Despite how much I try to come up with different places to try, I somehow always end up here because I know exactly what I'm going to get. Even when they're busy, you still don't wait long for your food or to get waited on. Very underrated gem in Chicago. Great location near several hotels downtown.

“Best food in the city.”
Best food in the city. Service is 5 star and the flavors are straight from Italy. Green beans may have been the surprise best dish. Unbelievable.

Kyle is the BEST! Attending a conference here and haven’t had the best service in the city unfortunately but Kyle was kind, funny, attentive and gave us the most incredible experience. Our dinner was delicious, the vibes were wonderful and Kyle sealed the deal. 10/10!

“Great place with great food, service, and vibes.”
Great place with great food, service, and vibes. We went for lunch. Butternut squash ravioli was divine and the burnt pepperoni pizza was delicious… a bit greasy, but great if you’re down for that! Would definitely recommend and return.

“A place with homemade pasta and I can watch a football game? Sign me up.”
A place with homemade pasta and I can watch a football game? Sign me up! Upscale bar/lounge type vibes with a bar that has a few TVs and a pretty large seating area in the main restaurant. The tuna crudo appetizer was incredible. Highly recommend the orecchiette, the prosciutto sausage was unreal.
