Delicious meatballs of all types, beef, chicken, lamb, cod. You basically pick a type of meal (sandwich, panini, meatballs alone, etc), sauce, and a side. The sides are an extra cost. The food was good, big portions. The meatballs were a little dry so I requested sauce on the side. The environment is very hip and trendy with an industrial feel: high ceilings, wood walls, iron chairs and railings. The second and third floors have pizza and a rooftop bar. The service was a little slow since they were busy on a Tuesday night. The meatballs are very filling so I only ate 1.5 out of my 4. (In addition to fries, cheese bread, and broccoli) Took the leftovers to go and they tasted great the next day microwaved for a minute. read more

When in Pittsburgh . . . plan to have a meal at Sienna Mercato. A cool place if you're looking for good drinks and a bite to eat! This restaurant has three separate levels and each level has its own vibe - Emporio (snacky food), Mezzo (where we ate - small plates, pizzas, & entrees), and Il Tetto (cocktails). Whether you're looking for a cozy atmosphere or energetic ambiance, Sienna Mercato is a neat place to check out! What we ordered: -Burrata -Genovese -Polpette -Lavender Haze -Quattro Formaggi read more

After having an amazing evening in Pittsburgh, accompanied by the best "salt of the earth" Pittsburghians...we unfortunately ended are night at 8:45pm on a Saturday night here. It's across from our hotel and we hear an amazing Spanish guitarist near the front of the walkway. It looked so chill and just might be a great place for a night cap. So we came in and sat at the bar. The bartenders...maybe just shy of 21. I regrettably asked for an espresso martini with baileys. My mom ordered the only Chardonnay...Kendall Jackson at $14 My martini ended up being $16 because of the extra "shot" of Baileys. I only needed a splash of Baileys. The girl who made my drink for 5 minutes (mind you, we were the only patrons at the time) handed it to me with attitude, like I had the audacity for her making a drink that's on the menu. I understand why everyone else are at the other places near you and not here. HIRE capable staff that are mature and not on their phones. No one working there was over 24 years old. I do not see this place lasting more than a year. Send #barrescue read more

This place was terrible. The manager was awful. Had a welcome party here and the bar tender for the private area didn't even show up. Will never show up here again. Meatballs were stale and cold. Never book this place. read more

Terrible service by management and the event staff after spending almost $5k there. Extremely unprofessional and no care or responses. Would never recommend hosting an event or even supporting this place. I have only heard terrible experiences from others. It's been over a month and the management has ignored me. Clearly will say whatever you want to get your money but then not follow through on their end. read more

Decent. A little over priced, but it's a popular place so they can get away with expensive drinks for the portion size delivered. Fast service. Drinks taste great. The food here tastes good, but for the price considering what's nearby, it leave something to be desired. The roof top portion is a cool feel. Really the main reason to come here. The string lighting with a sky as a back drop is always nice to look up at. Downside is a lot of the time the portion that actually overlooks Penn Ave is reserved. Overall 8/10 I'd go again. read more

Wanted to try something new for Mother's Day. This was a great location. I love the food but I did not love the stairs. My mom is active, but I thought the elevator was used for all 3 levels of the business. We had Bolognese and Purple Haze. Great service and a lovely ambiance. We had to walk downstairs to catch the elevator up to the rooftop bar, which I didn't like. The bar has a different drink menu so we had to change what we were drinking. We enjoyed them but it would have been ideal to keep the same cocktail. Not sure I'll return to Sienna Mercato. I'd rather eat at the first-floor restaurant and take the elevator to the rooftop bar for simplicity. read more

The gnocchi were such as disappointment. I was looking forward to my food after being told they were handmade, but they were so bad, I wasn't able to finish half of the plate. They were small and super dense, with a distinct doughy taste, it's almost like they hadn't been cooked enough. I don't know about the rest of the food there, but avoid the gnocchi. The service was incredibly slow as well. It took at least 5 minutes for a waiter to get our drink order, another 10 to get the drink, and the food didn't arrive for what felt like half an hour or more. I don't recommend this place. read more

I used to come here regularly after work and was excited to stop by for dinner. The server knew absolutely nothing about the menu. I asked her if they had Chianti (they did out of their maybe 4 reds available), and she immediately just said she didn't know and didn't offer us a wine list to look at which had it listed directly on it. Later, I had asked her about the pomegranate sangria and she just shrugged her shoulders at us saying she didn't know how it was. As someone who has been a server in the industry for over five years these moments made me cringe on how she was treating our table. A few folks at our table got soup/salads to start and noted them as starters and she brought everything out all together, causing there to be no room on the table. I asked her another question in regards to my entrée where you can customize the bowls if I could get a certain bowl with a different sauce and she said no. Didn't make sense to me because you were able to customize your own bowl to your liking right on the menu and I asked her if she could go back and ask if they could do it (there was a create your own bowl option... this is definitely do-able) and she just said no. Again as a server, this internally made my eyes roll. I used to love sienna mercato so much but the staff made the ambiance fall off. Would love to try it again for a better experience and give a better review in the future. read more

The location is excellent. We were seated in Mezzo right by the windows and it was perfect. The food, drinks and service was very nice. We were staying at the Courtyard across the street so we came here out of convenience. The menu was limited but really nice choices. I had a really delicious and bright Mule to start. Then we had the whipped Mortadella appetizer...kind of tasted like a really top notch ham salad. We ordered a flat bread pizza and a couple of salads. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. read more

Have been wanting to come by here for a while now and finally made it happen on Friday! It was a little busy so my friends and I put our name down at Emporio and then headed up to the rooftop bar for some drinks and apps. The rooftop was so pretty with the lights and ambience and I'm sure it's even prettier in the summer when outdoor seating is available too! We got the seasonal margarita and a cranberry rosemary mule and I loved the mule so much I had to get another. The flavors were subtle but they worked so well together! We also got a Buffalo chicken dip as an app, but unfortunately by the time we got the food, our table down at Emporio was ready. The rooftop was great but the only downside was that we couldn't take the food downstairs (we could take the drinks though) so we ended up getting a takeout box and made it work that way. Down at Emporio, I ordered a chicken meatball slider and a side of Brussel sprouts and both were good! The meatballs are dense, but really flavorful. The brussel sprouts were good, but I thought could use some salt or just seasoning in general. At the end, we ordered doughnuts with melted chocolate and cream cheese and these were the best part. The donuts were fresh and soft and, with the chocolate and cream cheese, were such a great end to the meal. Our servers on both floors were also incredibly helpful and great. Overall, really enjoyed coming here and would definitely come back! read more

I've always wanted to eat here after enjoying the meatballs from the Emporio food truck. My recent visit didn't disappoint. My wife and I arrived during a weeknight happy hour. The server was quite friendly and we were promptly seated on the first floor. During happy hour all drafts are 4.00, house wines and well drinks are 4.00 as well. They also have Buffalo meatballs for 50 cents each. Our server was a little slow but very friendly. I had the ball of the month which was the Breakfast Ball and had it in the Breakfast Bowl. It came with a fried egg, tots, biscuits and sausage gravy. My wife had balls with mushroom gravy over fries. Everything was excellent! I highly recommend visiting here. It has a very calm vibe to it, great food, and friendly service. I will definitely return! read more

Went here with a couple friends to eat at the meatball spot. There are so many ways you can get your meatballs and they all looked so good! I went with the chicken meatball with the crack sauce. (I had the waitress tell me and its basically ranch and buffalo--it was delicious). My friends and I all got the Brussell sprouts as a side and loved them. The place was clean and socially distanced. Also, the waitress was super friendly but I am so bad at getting names. Overall, definitely would eat here again. . read more

I have not had such a disappointing experience. Our server Sarah M. was rude, unpersonable, and ignorant. She continously walked past our table without checking on us, our appetizer (burrata) came out ice cold, my husband got his drink right away and mine took 20 minutes, our food was mediocre, and the staff looked miserable. Sarah walked past our table 7 times and would only acknowledge one table at a time and pass all other tables. Not once did management make an appearance but my drink and app was comped. Honestly, we would have recieved better service at a bar. read more

I used to love this place. Been coming here over the years since 2015. We went the other night to introduce our friend from the west coast to this location. Well it's changed in a couple of ways, I asked to go to the roof top and order food and the hostess suggested to eat here then go there. That's not what I was interested in doing, but ate downstairs as she had insisted. The other thing is the sandwich process changed and it's not a good process. Before you chose your ball, how many balls, what type of bread you wanted and the cheese. It was an entire process but a great process. Now you choose how many balls, beef, chicken or vegan, and that's it. You can't choose anything else. Then on top of it, they put it on toast. It's not the same experience. I probably do not see me coming back here again. Quite the turn off. The service was pleasant, just the food isn't that great any longer. Fried pickles were good, but also less amount of volume that they provide you compared to in the past. read more

Food and service was terrible. The food was dry to the point where people were spitting it out and choking on it. Never going there again and as an Italian, this place is a disgrace to our culture which is known for the best food in the world. The place needs HELP. read more

We hosted a large event (rehearsal dinner for 70 people) and we were greatly disappointed. Service was slow, air conditioner was broken, food was cold and not good at all ~ very disappointed because it was not what we were promised. I do NOT recommend Sienna Mercato for large sit down events; they are unable to handle it and your guests will be disappointed by the food. We spend an extremely large amount of money and did not get what we paid for; it was not worth it. I tried to reach out to the event planner and I have not received a call back ~ again very disappointed! read more

We went to the rooftop bar portion of this place and had a great time! It's a pretty big space with a big bar so even though there was a good amount of people there, we didn't have to wait long for a drink. We went in the winter on a day when it was snowing and it was a cool spot to see the snow/the city from the rooftop. The crowd was mid twenties to thirties ish and good music was playing. We didn't try the food since we were on the rooftop, but on the 1st and 2nd floor there was food. Apparently they have very good meatballs. Looking forward to coming back here in the summer when the rooftop is open! read more

Came to get a nice dinner with a friend, per covid I think the second floor was closed and third one was reservation only so we stayed on the bottom floor. I've always heard of Sienna Mercato so I think I had an extremely high expectation for the place, and I think that was wrong of me. I tried the lavender fizz drink, was much too strong for me, and the waitress was nice enough to exchange it for a beer. I ordered the Buffalo Meat balls and Brussels sprouts side. Was extremely filling surprisingly, but I think lacked juiciness in the meat and the sauce seemed lacking quantity that I desired. The Brussels sprouts were good not great, too much oil residue in the Brussels sprouts and not fully cooked with seasoning throughout Food: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Time to get food: 27 minutes read more

This place is never open for some reason but it always says it's open online :( the workers are nice tho

We're in town for a concert and from a small town. Wanted to try something different and this fit the bill. The inside looks rustic more like a BBQ place but that doesn't have anything to do with the food. The pasta was mediocre while the meatballs were delicious and reasonably priced. I wouldn't say this place wowed me but I would definitely go back. read more

Went back a second time, and along with the wedge salad, tried the pesto pasta. It was amazing! Thoroughly slathered with pesto, which was delicious! read more

We had an organizational happy hour there. The bartender on floor one, who is also the manager was was extremely rude to us. I even tried to have calm conversation with the bartender/manager about the experience our group was having and she was argumentative right away. We brought at least 15+ people in to spend our money and we were met with consistent disrespect with no remorse from the bartender. It was overall disappointing. Highly do not recommend. read more

Rented the top floor for a baby shower ... the communication with the coordinator (Jonathan) was fast and thorough and he was a dream to work with.

Stopped by Sienna Mercato on a Friday night with some friends and really enjoyed our visit here! We put our name down for a table at Emporio and went up to the rooftop for a drink while we waited. The rooftop is really pretty with all the lights and is enclosed during the winter, making it a great stop to get drinks all year round. We tried the cranberry rosemary mule and the blackberry ginger margarita. Both were good but the mule was so good that I had to get another. I've had a blackberry mule here in the past that was also amazing. The mules are definitely one of their best drinks in my opinion. We were seated at Emporio about 30-40 minutes after we put our names down, which was a good amount of time to get a drink in. I ordered the angry birds bowl, which had chicken meatballs, mac & cheese, and crack sauce. The mac & cheese was so good and creamy, I really enjoyed this bowl! The best part of the whole meal was definitely the dessert. We split an order of the warm ricotta doughnuts and they were heavenly. They were warm and soft and came with both cream cheese icing and hot fudge. They tasted just like fried oreos and were even better than I expected! If you ever find yourself at Sienna Mercato, the doughnuts are a must! Overall, our group had a great experience here and would definitely come back again! read more

Love this place! We got reservations for dinner at Sienna Mercato on a Thursday night and there were lots of people. We got the cheese plate and the cheese and peppers pizza. Cheese Plate: I always enjoy a delicious cheese and the cheese here was delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed the bread with the cheese, and weirdly, the jam was the most memorable thing that came with the bread and cheese. The jam. How can I even begin? It was absolutely amazing. Paired with the cheese, it was just heaven. The pillowy bread, the creamy cheese, and the sweet jam was just a perfect match together. I absolutely recommend! Cheese and Peppers Pizza: The pizza was super fresh and crispy, right out of the oven. I really enjoyed the spiciness of the peppers, which tasted amazing with the sweet jam (which I, of course, put on the pizza as well as everything I could find). Overall, I had an amazing time here and I would absolutely recommend the food here! read more

Todd our waiter was fabulous, he even gave gave us his list of his must see things in Pittsburgh. Menu looked fabulous, A lot of delicious appetizers but they seem to be Hills for the meatballs. We created our own meatball sliders with different sauces and balls with a poutine. I ordered spicy bowl with pesto sauce and my husband a chicken teriyaki with a sweet pineapple sauce. It was an extensive reasonably priced drink menu. Portions were generous, price is very reasonable, service fabulous and our food was delicious read more

Every time I come here (post Covid) they're always out of something. Today, their Ball of the month, they're out of the dressing and the brown for it. I ordered the Government Mac and Cheese but no, they're out of that as well! Every time I come here! So this will be my last time trying to order something on the menu! Seriously, how hard is it to have pasta and cheese in stock! FFS! Bye! read more

Saw this place on a show and just happened to be in The 'Burgh for business. Figured I had to try it. Sat at the bar and met the bartender, Bill. He knows his stuff. I am watching him make drinks for patrons and he is really good at his job. But that is not the point of this review. Told him that I saw this place mentioned and I then looked it up on Yelp and had to come in. His recommendations were great. Told me if you want to try multiple meatballs order the sliders. As I am trying to avoid carbs like the a lot of us he said "order without the bun. You get to try a different meatball and different sauce with each." Ok. On to the "balls" Ordered 4 sliders and all different. "Ball of the month" was dragonball. Spicy pork with Asian spices, Napa cabbage, and carrots in a Thai red chili sauce. Wonderful. Spicy pork with spicy marinara. Uh. Duh. Hell yes order this. Cod fish balls with remoulade. Yes, please. Incredible. Chicken with Buffalo sauce. Sauce was really tasty. Chicken was a little dry. All in all I highly recommend this place. Pretty sure my chicken ball (hehehehe. I said chicken ball) was an anomaly. Sit at the bar and ask for Bill. He knows his "balls"! read more

I had an early dinner and got hungry so I chose this place for a late dinner. I was able to get a seat by the bar. The menu was pretty straight forward, basically meat balls, a sauce, on top of a side. I went with the chicken meatball and penne, topped with a cream sauce. The chicken meat ball was a bit tough and dry, the sauce was okay and the penne was delicious. I also ordered a spicy margarita, which paired well with my meal. The bartender was great and did a fantastic job helping everyone. read more

I tried this place by chance when visiting Pittsburgh (we wanted to try the Italian restaurant floor but it was closed for a private event so we tried the lower level Meatball specialty floor) I tried multiple meatballs (pictured) and have to say it was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad but wasn't great. -meatballs were a little bit dry but they were seasoned well -the French fries were phenomenal -the cookies were a bit dryer than expected (the waitress told us they're baked fresh there daily but they tasted like they had been sitting for a long time) read more

Went to this place in the downtown for son's birthday. We went for the no-reservation Emporio option. The ambiance is simple and nice. The waitress was very friendly and explained the options. However, being vegetarians we were left with the veggie meatball options. We also ordered some garlic bread and poutine for starters, which was quite delicious. The veggie meatball was very bland and without much flavor to it. I was expecting a bit more taste in it. We also ordered chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream and raspberry topping, which was fabulous. It is a surprisingly large portion and three of us share it! Was good to try, but not the best choice for vegetarians. read more

I enjoyed Sienna Mercato. I like the idea of showing up to one building and then picking what you want to do. You want to eat, sure. You want to drink, sure. You want to mingle, sure. You want to hand out on a rooftop bar and take in the city, sure. This place is always busy no matter what time of the day. I have walked by this place on numerous occasions and thought to myself maybe next time. Not because I didn't want to come in, but because there were so many people that I thought maybe next time I'll think ahead and come prepared. If you do come here, make sure that you make plans ahead of time because if you have a plan, you'll know what you are in for. I showed up here for a little farewell party and knowing where to go when I got here made it a bit easier. read more
