    Zucchini and Squash Salad
    Katie C.

    I haven't been to Siena in a long time! I was pleasantly surprised! Sat at the bar, drinks were great - well shaken Cosmo! Bread was good. Ordered a special salad that was out of this world and the pork chop. Flavors were delicious! The bartender was super friendly and attentive! Glad I tried it again, will definitely put this in the rotation!

    Filet di manzo alla mamma
    Dominique D.

    Went here for a birthday celebration and it was amazing! The servers were so friendly and accommodating for our large party. The food was so good! We had a set menu with some options to choose from. The caprese salad was so refreshing and perfect to start with. For the entree I went with the filet di manzo alla mamma and it couldn't have been better. For dessert I went with the torta chocolata and I've never had a richer piece of chocolate cake. Truly everything was a 10/10! Can't wait to go back.

    Vodka pizza and charcuterie board

    This is such a cute spot for apps and drinks with your friends! Tried the vodka sauce pizza with eggplant and chicken and it was delicious! Loved the charcuterie board too . It was the perfect size for the two of us. Our server was very helpful when selecting the cheeses we wanted. Would definitely come back to try some entree menu items.

    Calamari Fritti

    Went here for a family dinner with a party of 8 a few months ago and had one of those nights where unfortunately nothing seemed to go right (will spare details). Thankfully the staff were very attentive and apologetic; it really helped save the evening. Shout out to Tasha M for her kind and pleasant service! If you haven't been to the Smithfield location before, it's beautiful inside with plenty of parking available. The bar area is sophisticated and doesn't feel like a lounge. We were seated in the small room in the back that I imagine is available for private functions so it was fairly quiet; a great thing for a family dinner. Food was fairly average. Calamari looked phenomenal but was a bit tough and chewy. The fried peppers are a huge bonus. We had the crab risotto special and it was once again pretty average. There was a good amount of crab but overall it lacked a bit in flavor. The banana cheesecake was decent and a nice ending to the meal.

    What an awesome and special place to spend an evening. We have been here many times for birthdays , holidays , etc. This occasion was for New Year's Eve. A lot of places fall short on this night. It's busy. Food is wrong. Reservations are late. Staff rushes you. Not the case here. We were say at our time and bread and water quickly brought over. As an aside please bring more than one slice of that delicious focaccia. I had to fight hubs for it. lol. They have a nice wine and beer list as well as some amazing cocktails. I had a lavender lemon drop. It was perfect. For dinner I started off with a salad with all kinds of tasty toppings. I had the baked gnocchi and it was so so cheesy and yummy. Hubs had the braised beer with pappardelle. Our food was Delcious , server right on point. This is not a cheap night out but I am a big believer of you get what you pay for. Everything was fresh and tasty. I have a big appetite so finished mine but hubs has a normal one and took half home. It's a really great spot. They take reservations and I recommend making one as it gets busy. Cheers !

    The food is always amazing here. But let me just talk about the manager Andrew for a second. He was amazing today when someone accidentally used the wrong card for our order's. Manager Andrew went above & beyond for a friend of mine when an error occurred regarding her card accidentally being charged $150, when it was only supposed to be charged $11. The manager voided the transaction but unfortunately it can take 3-5 days & she wouldn't have any money for her trip tomorrow so he personally Venmo'd her $100 out of his personal account- that is going above & beyond & he deserves a raise!! He didn't think twice about helping a loyal customer! This has happened to me many times & I have basically been told "too bad" but he went above and beyond & sent her $100 out of his personal account! Thanks again Andrew! I can't even begin to state how great of a person this guy was! My sister-in-law was extremely happy and grateful that they offered her a solution in such a positive way! Thanks again Andrew! We will definitely be back!

    Swung by here today just to meet some friends and have a few drinks and seek redemption from my last visit when I was less than impressed with their Chicken Milanese. Ordered the Neopolitan Margherita and it was simply delicious. Sauce was tangy and zesty and it was the perfect side dish to accompany a couple of cold Stellas. Two slices hit the spot for everyone each (8 slices total) and we all went home happy. Sit at the bar for even quicker service !

I've seen on social media that people complained about the new location having mainly street parking - we both found parking easily on the street - quit yer b*tchin' people lol. Besides I believe they have a lot behind the restaurant that we didn't have to use but it's there if needed. We were the only ones there when we first walked in but more patrons came in as the night went on. Made our way to the bar and orders were flowing - one warning if you're sitting at the bar, it is an open kitchen so there will be alot of aromas flowing through and may get on your clothes but really it'll just remind you of how good the food was. Also, the barstools are not the most comfy - metal stools with no backing so after 2.5 hours, we were feeling a bit achy. We ordered way more than we should've but everything just looked so good! We got the croquettes (our absolute fave), the cauliflower, the pizza du jour (I think it had spinach, pepperoni, ricotta and garlic) and for entrees we got the fish tacos and the Orecchiette. Not one complaint - everything was divine. Croquettes were melty, smoky little nuggets of heaven and our favorites bites of the night. The pizza had a great balance of flavors and the crust was thin and crispy. We were so full but had a few bites of the fish tacos and pasta - the fish was cooked to perfection and the aioli it came with topped it perfectly. Pasta was different - had a scallion cream sauce that was a nice change up from your typical Alfredo. Don't sleep on this place - the street is busy being on a main road but so well worth the visit, I didn't catch our bartender's name but he and a few other servers were super personable and friendly - gave us just enough time in between meals and personal space to not hover. Absolutely will return!

But there's parking so that's a plus. The location gives very upscale vibes and the decor and ambiance match it. I went a little before Christmas and it was beautiful inside, the decor was top-tier, very dim lit place and very cozy and on the quieter side even with a lot of people. My first experience Kendrick was my waiter, very genuine and kind and attentive. Did an amazing job. Said all the specials word for word no menu- impressive. I got the lobster ravioli special and it was delicious! That day everything was very good even though Kendrick had tons of tables - so stuff took a little bit, but I understand. Now I also came today. I ordered stuffed mushrooms they were very good. And ordered the snowflake mimosa- so cute and very yummy, edible glitter yes please! For my meal I ordered the pasta with clams (forgot the official name), I took all my clams out the shells and put them on my pasta. Took one bite of my clam and tasted sand, gross. Now I know how clams can eat sand but personally I know you have to rinse them and wash them several times to get the sand out. So I chucked it up as a bad clam, bit into another one and same thing, spit it out and was done, that's gross. Lost my appetite and told my server Mia, she apologized and was sweet from beginning to end! The manager on duty I guess came over and apologized and asked if I wanted anything else, told her no. The sand taste isn't pleasant/ so you'll lose your whole appetite. Told them it was okay. They insisted on giving me a menu and seeing if I wanted anything else. I say fine- and grab the stuffed mushroom to go. At this point everyone ate and I wasn't going to order and sit there eating by myself. Bill came, the pasta was removed (as it should I didn't eat it), but they charged for the stuffed mushrooms that they constantly asked if I wanted anything else. I wouldn't had got it if it wasn't gonna be comped- especially after a mouth of sand. Don't see myself coming back not after that sand situation, I'm very careful with seafood.

The space itself is interesting -- I understand the location has even been used as a filming location for a movie -- and the coffee and food we had were both quite good. What stood out, unfortunately, was the atmosphere created by the staff. During my visit the café was less than half full, but employees were very actively directing where people could and could not sit in what otherwise appeared to be open seating. At one point I watched a staff member speak sharply to a customer while waving a sign that said "No laptops at the bar." The confusing part was that the customer didn't appear to have a laptop at all. The interaction felt unnecessarily confrontational and awkward to witness. Taken together, the tone of the staff came across as petty and uninviting, which really undermined what could otherwise be a pleasant place to stop for coffee. The drinks and food were good, but the atmosphere made the experience feel tense. Visitors may want to keep in mind that seating and house rules seem to be enforced quite strictly.

Luckily, there was a perfect corner of the bar had just opened & we grabbed the seats. The atmosphere was convivial, upbeat & super comfortable, despite the crowd. Service was fabulously friendly & competent - the bartender handling the packed house with ease. We decided to go with an array of small plates to try as much as possible. The menu it designed perfectly for grazing & the prices are super reasonable! The selections are definitely on the comfort-food side with a strong southern hint. Ingredients are often locally sourced - something I greatly admire. We began with the a small plate of Pimento Cheese Toast. Just a few bites each but a nice start. Duck Drumettes. The horseradish-y white sauce was delectable! Even my non-duck loving partner was blown away. I was happy to hear that the salad was available in a half portion - enough for a light fresh break to our heavy selections. Next came a much heavier choice - the gravy fries with duck confit. We left off the cheese, but it wasn't missed at all. These were decadent, delicious & super filling! Next time we'd get a half portion - that would have been plenty! Our final dish was the Shrimp & Grits, but we'd already filled up on the other dishes & ended up asking for this to go. Even reheated, it was a perfectly delicious accompaniment to our brunch the next day! I'd be tempted to order this to-go again for just that purpose. While we didn't imbibe, the cocktail list looked wonderful & the bar was very well stocked. We did enjoy a nice selection from the interesting beer list. The sandwiches that we saw come out looked delicious & huge! We'd love to try them as well. We will be back - this is certainly a new favorite for us!
