Kristen EdsonJuly 18, 2013Great food. Service was rushing us & didn't engage w/ us at all. Typical River North vibe meaning a bunch of guys w/ too much $ & testosterone looking 4 their future ex- real Chicago Housewife.
Social News NetworkDecember 4, 2013Perfect for happy-hour and upscale dining. Kobe meatballs are the size of your head and a must-get!
CarolMay 23, 2015Love the truffle mushroom pizza. Definitely one of my favorite places to eat in the city
Vanessa RoscoeApril 14, 2014The gnocchi truffle pasta is insane. I haven't had gnocchi that good outside of Italy. Get this and don't share...
Amanda RellaSeptember 26, 2017Decent Italian food. The crudos were the best part of our meal. Pasta dishes are much larger than anticipated so keep this in mind when ordering.
Azlan TariqSeptember 11, 2013Excellent food. The mushrooms and truffle pizza was delicious as well as my squid ink and lobster pasta.
Latham BrunsonApril 8, 2015The meatball appetizer was great. I got the short rib ravioli and my wife got the gnochi. Both were good, but the gnochi was much better. Crowded and loud though.
Kevin DulinJuly 16, 2013The food is very good. I highly recommend the seared scallops or any of the homemade pastas. The service was fairly subpar however.
Chicago TribuneMay 14, 2015With only numbers serving as names, the cocktail list at this contemporary Italian restaurant forces you to pay special attention to ingredients before making a pick. Read more
Definitely get the coccoli for an appetizer! And the berry tart is an excellent choice for dessert. Yum!!!
BiancaNovember 11, 2019A nice place for brunch. Their Italian food lost its authenticity though - it was a weird mix.
Tariq IsmaelAugust 9, 2017Everything is cooked with so much butter, can’t taste anything else. Cocktails are sugar bombs, just taste like candy.
Barry OrtegaJuly 23, 2013Ordered the pizza - looked very tasty. Every time I picked up a slice - all the toppings and cheese would slide-off
michelle jimenezOctober 25, 2015Very eclectic crowd. Not so much of a date type of place. The music is loud and there's lots of tvs around. Sports bar feel to this place.
Rebecca LuhApril 5, 2013New hot spot for gathering! Great food great service! Def order their cocktails, coccoli, n tiramisu!!
Vegetarians get the Wild Boar pizza sans the boar and extra butternut squash. So good!!- Jon JakubcinJuly 8, 2013Absolutely delicious! I recommend the ravioli, Kobe meatball and any of the pasta!
Juieta ChowdhuryJanuary 17, 2014Get cocktail no. 4 and the burrata - DELICIOUS! Duke, our bartender was wonderful too!
Burrata is a top pick without a doubt. Smoked motz is also fantastic!!!
- michelle jimenezAugust 25, 2015Try the fresh guacamole! It's so refreshing! Loved the food! Take a date here
Kristine LewisMarch 30, 2013Squid ink linguini, short rib ravioli, gnocchi and baked lasagna --> sooo good!!
Angelina S.August 26, 2015I went to Siena Tavern to celebrate my birthday on a Monday night, not busy like on a Friday. I asked for a table with a view. Was given a table near the entrance. The service was bad.
Casey MungerMarch 22, 2016The scallop plate is really good, however, not very big. I made the mistake of splitting it so it's better as a one person only.
Katie FrancisJuly 12, 2013Best meal ever! The Coccoli dish will change your life (and pant size) forever!
rusty danfordAugust 9, 2014The meatballs were amazing. The crab tempura was undercooked and mushy. Entrees took a very long time to get out but pretty good overall
kate FELDTJuly 15, 2013Menu highlights: Coccoli, Kobe Meatball, Gnocchi, Squid Ink Linguini, Bomboloni
Roger AssaultreySeptember 28, 2013Beware of the bar. It's easy to cut your leg or snag your pants on the jagged metal pattern.
Julie FeketeJuly 25, 2014The Brussels sprouts salad and roasted cauliflower are great for vegetarians.
- The burrata and one other entree is more then enough for 2 people.
- The pizza bar and meatball sandwiches are can't miss items!
