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

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. I've planned many events through work and never had someone so easy and accommodating to plan an event with. Am SO glad we picked this venue ... food was excellent and the rest of the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. 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

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

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

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

4.5 stars. I dined at the mezzo level during restaurant week, and was in for a treat. Where most restaurant week menus were pretty fixed, Sienna Mercato was like, nah, allow yourself to indulge in whatever you want. To start, I had the fried eggplant and cured beef. The salad in both dishes were a bit on the oily side, but at least the salad tasted good. Then, for the medium dishes I had a slow roasted pork belly and the mussels. For the price, the mussels are an absolute steal because you get so many of them. The slow roasted pork belly was also really fun. You don't get much, but it's definitely a delicious piece to enjoy. For the mains, my favorite had to be the shrimp pasta. The sauce is at the perfect spiciness to give a tingle, but not overwhelm you. I enjoyed the fresh pasta and the shrimp of course. The other mains were alright---the pork chop I would've preferred to be cooked closer to medium, the farm chicken was on the dry side, and the seafood pasta was nice but nothing super outstanding. By the time I got to dessert, I was absolutely stuffed, but hey, always room for more dessert. I found the apple dessert to be the star here. The warm apple slices were super comforting at the end of a fabulous meal. Overall, the plating for all the dishes were very well put together. They had enough pizzazz to wow you, but didn't excessively put useless ingredients since everything was still edible, and could play some role in the flavor combination. Enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend! read more

I went to both the casual meatball emporio on the first floor and the more fancy restaurant on the second floor. First floor- 1 star. probably the most disgusting meatballs I've ever had. Huge, dry, and flavorless. I got the spicy marinara sauce which tasted like watery pasta sauce and pesto cream which was just tasted like tasteless cream, no pesto flavor at all. Pretty bad. Second floor restaurant was delicious though! I don't normally like gnocchi but this one was so soft and delicious with mushroom, basil and corn. We almost ordered a second! Pizza was piping hot and good as well. Our waiter recommended the farro salad. I was skeptical thinking how good can those grains be.. I was pleasantly surprised how bright and flavorful it was! Service was great as well! We told our waiter we were cold so they immediately turned down the ceiling fan in our area. Very thoughtful. read more

Emily was amazing. Sienna Mercato truly brings Italy to Pittsburgh! My dining experience here was as good as any I've had in Italy. The ambiance is charming, and the food is simply outstanding. The meatballs are a definite highlight--flavorful and perfectly seasoned. I must also commend Emily, our hostess, who made our evening even more delightful with her warm hospitality and attention to detail. Her recommendations were spot on, and she ensured we had a fantastic time. Sienna Mercato is definitely a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian flavors and a wonderful dining experience. Grazie mille for a memorable evening! read more

This place was truly the worst and I would give it 0 stars if possible. Came here for a wedding after party around 10pm on Saturday night. There were hardly any other people there. Over half of our group was not allowed in, including the BRIDE, for allegedly being "too intoxicated". No one in our group was drunk and no one was acting obscene or out of hand in any way shape or form. Even a few of the people that could get in they wouldn't serve for the same reason. The whole thing was so incredibly bizarre and the whole staff was rude and off putting. You'd think on a Saturday night during what seemed to be a slow season for them, they'd want the business. Would never return here or recommend to anyone even attempting to visit this place. read more

Ew... I ate here for lunch and I have to say it was absolutely disgusting. The meatballs were made and had a weird seasoning and weird flavor overall. Non of the parties food was good. Just plain bad. Sorry to say it but 1 star. read more

My friends and I went to sienna for a girls night out. We did not realized the kitchen closed at 7pm. The server advised us to go to the lower level and order food to bring upstairs to eat. Once we did that, we were tapped on the shoulder by a bouncer who stated "you cannot eat here!" We thought he was joking as we were told by a staff member to order food and bring it upstairs. The bouncer then told us that we needed to go downstairs and finish our food before coming back up. Frustrated, we requested to speak to a manager to discuss the miscommunication between staff. We witnessed the same bouncer talking about us to all of the other staff. The manager stated that we needed to finish our food downstairs but would give us a free round of drinks once coming upstairs. Once we finished our food, we returned upstairs and was greeted by a new bouncer who stated "I heard about you, we don't owe you anything". The whole experience was handled so poorly and I have not had worst customer service. I have since sent an email to the company to discuss the poor service and have not heard back. I would not recommend specifically because of how this company treats their customers read more

Great experience hosting a rehearsal dinner at Sienna Mercato. Emily the event coordinator was easy to work with and was very responsive. The second floor room was a good size for our party of 42 and they set it up nicely with lots of room for socializing. We chose the Zapphire package which had a good variety and they we ok with making sure it was nut free and we had some vegan options. The food was very good and we had plenty. The chefs choice dessert was ok, not one of your typical desserts. I cant wait to go back for dinner in the future. read more

What a great concept. Meatballs! Every type in every way you can imagine. Great ambiance, decor. Just not the friendliest of staff.

We held my daughter's bridal shower here on the roof top, IL Tetto, and everything was fantastic! We worked with Emily, the Events Manager, who was truly delightful, highly interested in every detail and was on site to ensure the event went smoothly!

Sienna Mercato - Rooftop - Italian Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great place to meet friends for drinks and a bite! Came here recently for a friend's birthday get together. We started upstairs on the rooftop. There was some sort of corporate event happening on the roof so it was very packed for a Tuesday evening, but the setting was otherwise calm. I dined on the second floor, which is more upscale Italian food, on a second occasion and really enjoyed the Peach pizza. It was the mixing of two flavors that otherwise shouldn't be together. It was absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone! Finally, I dined on the bottom floor, which is Emporio. It was pretty packed the evening I went but the service was excellent and the food was even better. Everyone at our table had a great time and we cannot wait to be back! Truly a one stop shop for folks visiting town. I think the highlight of the whole experience is the rooftop bar. read more

Served me raw chicken wings and French fries with hair in them. There was only one server for a room of more than 50 people. Had to place orders at the bar because it was nearly impossible to get the server's attention. The level we were on had a total of seven food items on the menu, and they were already out of two of those items at 6pm on a weeknight. Genuinely one of the worst dining experiences of my life. I would not recommend Sienna Mercado to anyone. read more

It's been awhile since I've dined downtown on the regular, but Sienna Mercato -- specifically Emporio -- is one of my go-to joints. Who doesn't love a good meatball? Vegetarians and carnivores alike can enjoy these bites, and enjoy they will. The salad + balls is one of my favorite lunches of all time. Check it out! read more

Went here on Valentines Day, average food, way, way overpriced but that's Valentines Day so no surprise, multiple course service (for Valentines Day menu I guess) was atrocious...server brought out the wrong order to our table for the second course so had to wait even longer for the correct order to get finished which kind of screwed up their "course" timing...there were other issues but I'll just leave this review where it's at Personally I'll never go again but people tell me it's a lot better when they have a normal menu... read more

We started at the bar on the ground floor before we were looking for a more substantial menu so we moved up to Mercato (second floor). We usually prefer sitting at the bar so we requested the bar when we were directed to the chef's counter. The chef came out and greeted us and explained menu pairings and some of the items we may not have been familiar with. Bartender made my wife a Manhattan which she raved about, The chef started us with a custom appetizer which had a variety of flavors and textures (braised pork belly, scallop and trumpet mushroom on a small bed of greens) all locally sourced. We each had a different salad and both were fantastic. I had a shrimp dish and my wife had scallops which we both thought were wonderful. We are from Connecticut and plan on stopping back next time we are in Pittsburgh. read more

I went here on a busy Friday night with a large party of 10 people and expected to wait as our party was so large. We put our name on the guest list around 7pm and headed to the rooftop bar for some drinks while we waited less than 2 hours for our table. Once we got to the table, our service was very quick, and excellent. All of our orders came out within 20 minutes, and the server was very attentive. I ordered the 4 meatballs and they were amazing, I will definitely be returning for the food and the atmosphere. read more

Sienna Mercato - Meatballs - Italian Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

We were in Pittsburgh for a Supernatural convention and wanted to try something new. We have spent quite a bit of time in the City. When a "meatball place" was recommended, we weren't sure but wanted to give it a chance. My daughter ordered a chicken, while hubby & I got regular meatballs. We always share. They were all good, but the chicken ones were fantastic! She also ordered mac & cheese with as alfredo sauce. Heavenly! We ended up trading half our paninis and our 2~year old slept through dinner (she as te back in our hotel room). If you're in Pittsburgh and anywhere near it, stop here and order the chicken panini. You won't regret it. read more

Horrendous service. Ordered 3 items and 2 were delivered. Called the restaurant and they said to call DoorDash, which then indicated they couldn't refund since amount was paid to restaurant. It was, according to Wells Fargo. When I called restaurant again, manager said to call DoorDash. Is this heinous review worth not satisfying a customer for a $10 sandwich I never got? read more

This is the no brainer spot in Pittsburgh IMO. You can get everything you need here. There's apps & bar food downstairs, more of a dinner vibe in the middle, & the best bar you'll find on the roof. We checked out Emporio (1st floor) for the first time and it was excellent. Everything we ordered got demolished fast. The cheesy bread might have been the best I've ever had . I'll be back. read more

Our reservation was at Mezze, the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. The service was really pleasant and they were really knowledgeable of the menu and all the items. When our Chefs Selection was brought to our table, we were presented with what was on the board and what to expect. Really appreciated that, the board can be a little intimidating. The Gnocchi was delicious, we requested no onions. My chicken was juicy and the polenta was delicious. Had a lovely dinner and will definitely return when back in Pittsburgh. read more

Okay meatballs. My average lunch ticket here ($18) on several visits far exceed my usually allocation for daily work lunch ($10 average). Foodwise, I have had: Meatball panini with dipping sauce - probably the better item versus the other below choices. Reason being is that the sandwich must be pressed in a panini press, forcing out a hot sandwich. Still hungry after having this. 3.5 stars. Meatballs over pasta (Saucy Balls with pasta option). Meatballs taste okay with the spicy meatballs having the most flavor. Meatballs in all visits are never hot and lukewarm at best. 2.5 stars Tater tots: good. Crunchy and crispy. If I crave tator tots, I will come here. Probably will not return due to cold meatballs and high lunch prices for non-filling/satisfying content. read more

A surprisingly good spot for vegetarians! We went for a Friday lunch and it was quite crowded and lively. The first floor is the restaurant and the upper floor is I believe a bar/rooftop patio. Sadly it was closed that day but I've heard excellent things! You can only order food on the first floor, but can order drinks throughout the restaurant. The menu is all meatball-based but extremely customizable. You can choose number, bowl or sandwich, type of meatball, and sauce. I got a veggie meatball slider with buffalo ranch which was quite good! I can't wait to come back when I'm hungrier to try all of the combos-some of the sauces look out of this world read more
