    Pizza Autumno
    Lauren H.

    Came here on a Thursday evening, with a reservation. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable. The pomegranate martini is delicious! I also got the pizza autumno and it too was so good! Definitely recommend for a date night. Their menus between drinks, dinner, and dessert all have many options.

    This was our fourth time at Siena. Whenever we have an event in the Providence area, we are happy to make the hour+ trip from CT knowing we can stop here. Delicious, quality Italian food. Drinks and wine are always on point. Ambiance is perfect for date night or for a group dinner. Last night we were in a little time crunch before a show and our waiter Chuck was super personable and accommodating. We were so impressed by him and everything he did to get our drinks, meal and dessert all out in less than an hour - while still keeping the experience intimate.

    Had an awesome experience at Sienna. We went in without a reservations on a Sunday night and were able to find a seat without a problem. The food and service were both wonderful. The crab and lemon pasta was definitely the highlight of the night for me. Would 100% order that again. Lots of chunks of crab with a ton of flavor. The short rib was also spot on and super satisfying. The amaretto coffee was a great way to end the night along with the creme brulee.

    Writing this review while sitting down at dinner, that's how good this place is. Really nice atmosphere, amazing service, food tastes good. The deserts..... Don't skip the desert. Eat half your food to make room for their desert. You'll thank me later. Bravo team here. Look forward to returning!

    Came here with reservations for 3 on Friday night for an early Mothers Day. Had to wait 30 minutes past reservation time with no room to stand, and the hostess seemed annoyed. Food and waitstaff were exceptional.

    Birthday cocktails!
    R.J. P.

    Never a bad time. Went last night to celebrate a friend's birthday and it was a wonderful time. We were seated in a booth in the center of the rotunda at the front of the restaurant. A perfect spot for a party of 6. Interior is warm and well designed. We started our evening with wine and cocktails all of which were delicious. The black fig martini was fabulous! Arancini and calamari were next, and both were good. A great sauce on both, and the breading on the calamari was light, and not at all oily. Meals included pastas, and fish mostly and everyone enjoyed their meals. The carbonara was very tasty and made without cream! Bonus points! Two in the party ordered the swordfish and enjoyed that as well. We had three desserts all of which were tasty but the crème brûlée with the lemon curd and raspberry coulis was the standout for me. Overall a wonderful night out; would definitely be back!

    Dessert - dough boys, eggnog cheesecake, banana cheesecake, and chocolate cake.

    We had not been at Palo for about a year, a little surprising as we have always enjoyed the place…read moreand the food. It was mid week at around 8pm and the place was surprisingly half empty. We were led to a corner table by Michael who greeted us at the door and was to be our server. As usual the room was noisy. (Later we asked whether the music volume could be turned down which they did, much appreciated) We scanned the menu and found it hard to not order everything! However, we started with a Martini and a Cubano Viejo - both of which were well made and went down nicely. While we were deciding we nibbled on delicious almonds. As usual we shared a number of dishes. The seasonal Croquettes, the Patatas Bravas (slightly spicy), Gambas Ajillo with extra bread to sop up the tasty sauce, and to top it all our favorite Lamb Chops. For dessert we had an excellent pistachio tart washed down with a glass of a fine Cabernet. All the dishes were excellent and deserving of the highest rating - rare for us. (Perhaps because everything jelled nicely. The check came to $140 o which we added a good tip. We had ordered too much and took some of the food home to consume the next day. Our server was very attentive and cheerful (I think we had him on a previous occasion). The experience was most enjoyable and we will certainly be back sooner than later.

What we got: The grilled calamari-was exceptionally tender... lots of flavor and spice not chewy at all. The razor clams- were very garlicky and lemony-delicious! The duck baclava- so interesting and different... tasted somewhat like a fancy bite of thanksgiving dinner with stuffing and all. Chorizo and cheese platter- good, it is what it sounds like. Drinks were fantastic as well, we tried a few different cocktails and also had a sample of an espresso martini- friendly bartenders! If you want to sit at a table instead of the bar, make a reservation... but the bar was nice! Good ambiance overall and would love to try other things on their menu- definitely a fun splurge night out on the town!,

I found that the tuna steak appetizer was slightly overcooked (not sure how) and had a fishy taste. The portion sizes of the food and what is charged for them doesn't really add up. If you add chicken to the pasta with marinara, you're looking at ~$28 for what is the equivalent of maybe 4 fork fulls of angle hair and a chicken nuggets worth of chicken. Its a leg up from Greggs or Chelos, but I would argue that Greggs and Chelos are probably a better value for a somewhat equivalent meal. The service staff do a great job and are attentive, which is the saving grace. Probably won't come back unless we get a gift card.

Be warned, it's on the more expensive side for dining and may be a coin toss for "is it worth it" for those that enjoy a night out but also looking for value. Food was a mixed bag for us.... Starting with the smashburger was genuinely disappointing as the burger itself was dry and advertised as a "French onion" smashburger that failed to deliver any of the rich, savory flavor we expected with a name like "French onion smashburger". The hot honey Mac and cheese was very good and flavorful... The hot being more of a vinegary heat than I expected but the cream sauce was rich. Speaking of value earlier.... Smashburger was $20 and the Mac and cheese was $28. Entrees were $10-15 more it seemed but previous reviews all spoke highly of the entrees and would want to try them if we visit again. The overall service experience was disappointing for us. Not for the demeanor of the staff but everything else... We had a decent size group of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids) and was fortunate to have a dining room to help the kids burn some energy while not bothering the other diners. However, from ordering to entrees to arrive was 45 very hungry minutes. It also took 20+ mins just to get drinks. Once the food arrived, they also were short two of the kids meals which was thankfully corrected quick. We then were somewhat "gently" being asked to wrap things up by 3 staff members in 10 mins making the rounds to clear plates and any to go containers. We all understand the business in the food industry and turning tables, and trust me, after an hour from arriving to food on the table we wanted to get home for bed time. However, really sours the experience and would not advocate going here with large groups.... Between the kitchen and staff I can't say you'd have a guaranteed good time.

When I asked about it, the server explained what happened but did not offer to remake it, remove it from the bill, or apologize, which was disappointing. That said, it was a busy Friday during Restaurant Week, so I would consider coming back and hope the service is smoother next time. While writing this review, I actually received a text from the restaurant letting me know we left our son's plate behind, which was thoughtful and appreciated. If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give 3.5.

The welcome aperitif was a great lil' treat to kick the night off with. We were given a mini charcuterie selection to keep us busy until the main event, which began about 20 minutes after we arrived. Vannaluck talked us through the history & characteristics of cognac. We were given 3 small pours of different cognacs to taste as well as a serendipitous, bonus mini pour at the end. Throughout the night, the kitchen sent out a variety of tapas that UTILIZED COGNAC. Cognac glaze, reduction, brine, etc. Fascinating! I went in knowing next to nothing about cognac & left with a decent understanding of the spirit. I've always wanted to do something like this, & Sapphire made it extremely accessible. It was also amazingly affordable. I'm really looking forward to more events like this one. Sign me up, please.
