This is one of the best places I have EVER eaten at. The squid ink linguini is FANTASTIC and deliciously made with lobster. The wagyu meatball is the size of a softball and is soooo delectable. 100/10

One of the best in Chicago! The pepperoni pizza is insane! The mushroom truffle is delicious but the pepperoni one is omg!! Great cocktails and super friendly staff (Clint the bartender is ❤️❤️)

The rustic restaurant offers brunch options like lobster hash, prosciutto frittata and truffle scrambled eggs. Those with a sweet tooth can opt for almond pancakes, or caramelized waffles.

For brunch, I've had the lobster hash and the egg sandwich, which were fantastic. I also had their cold brew iced coffee. It tasted acidic both times, as if it had been brewed hot and poured over ice.

Siena Tavern lives up to the hype. This is a a great spot for brunch in River North, and on a gorgeous summer day in Chicago, it was the perfect place to grab brunch with friends. Read more

A bit of a clubby feel (loud dance music with a large hip bar), but the food is excellent. The truffle gnocchi is incredible. Must try. All pastas made on site

Brunch is phenomenal. Delicious food with high quality ingredients, cool decor, excellent service, and good people watching. Lobster hash, eggs in a jar, and the stuffed french toast are a must try!

Absolutely loved the brussels sprout pizza. Our server was excellent, the manager was very attentive and even treated us to free gelato. Lovely experience.

Everything is good! Coccole are highly recommended, as well as the wagyu meatballs. Pizzas were delicious. Our server Clint was very helpful.

Note to self to order again...the Coccoli, Wagyu Meatball (with extra sauce for dipping), Roasted Beets, Truffle Mushroom pizza, pork chop, bomboloni with extra sauces :)

Brunch > dinner. Go for the lobster eggs benedict with a side of sausage. Unbeatable!

Must get the Squid Ink Linguini w. Lobster- best pasta dish in the city. And sit at the Crudo Bar and ask DeAngelo to make you his French Pear Martini!
AngelaSeptember 30, 2014
Their pasta is where it's at here. Squid ink pasta & gnocchi, so delicious. Very good cheese plate and a giant tasty meatball. For brunch, pancakes were good but nothing special. Bloody Mary just avg.

This place is great! Think you'd be happy with whatever you get as EVERYTHING looks amazing! Had brunch here today..the eggs benedict was absolutely perfect. Love their version of the sauce.
Linda FelterAugust 4, 2014
It's all good. Seriously can't go wrong here. Highlights for me are the coccoli the meatballs and the truffle gnocchi. There is a great back room for business lunches/presentations as well.

Get their Siena goose island draft, any homemade unique pasta you're into, and converse with the staff. Then head to sister Public House down the block for great brews.
Susan ZochSeptember 28, 2018
I was there for a group event so was not in the main part of the restaurant but in a private room this was great we could have conversation and the service was wonderful.
Angie OsmanskiApril 10, 2016
Great bar love the atmosphere. Some of their house drinks are a bit too sweet, went with a classic dirty martini with blue cheese olives which was amazing!
Tony JonesMarch 31, 2017
Excellent food and service. Prices are well worth the quality of food. Mimosa bar is great for several to make your own mimosa. Definitely recommend.
Anuta SJune 12, 2014
Food is simply mind blowing! Squid ink linguini is a must try. Octopus is fresh and tasty. Truffle mushroom pizza is insanely good. Waiters are friendly and professional.

The squid ink pasta is to die for! Also the drink #4 was delicious. If you can't get a reservation they have a lot of tables by the bar that you can get into quickly.

Great for date nights. Very casual setting, the music gives you a nightclub feeling. I'd recommend it to anyone having problems picking where to jave their first date
Sam FOctober 13, 2013
The food here is great, but the crowd on a Saturday night made me feel like I was at a taping of Jersey Shore. I want to come back earlier on a weeknight and see how much better the experience can be.
GnrJune 8, 2015
i didnt like truffles pizza,heavy for me,but very good pasta!!very very delicious grilled octopus!nice environment and decoration..you should go there ..

The #mimosa is outstanding. Freshly squeezed orange juice with just the right amount of Prosecco. Loved the poached eggs on the avocado toast!

The Wagyu Beef Meatball Sandwich was pretty damn amazing. And the gnocchi is always a good decision.
Shari NealNovember 17, 2013
The fogs was spectacular! You probably won't go wrong with anything you order. Also a great venue for a birthday party or small gathering, ask about the couch seating.

Squid ink pasta is by far my favorite meal ever! Must get the coccoli and tiramisu
Raksha RavikumarFebruary 26, 2014
Listen, the Truffle Scrambled Eggs are a thing and you need to taste them like 5 minutes ago. I thought I might actually have died and gone to Heaven. #vegetarian

My favorite restaurant in Chicago. The pizza's are awesome, NYC style. Great wine selection and good "action at the bar".
Kailei CarrAugust 10, 2013
The coccoli as a starter is a must. Also, the donuts for dessert -- try with the caramel sauce. Amazing. And the no. 2 cocktail was tasty too.
Leland BrewsterNovember 6, 2015
Brunch is definitely a strength. I highly recommend the breakfast skillet. Add bacon or sausage if you want some extra protein.
Gil ShepherdJune 19, 2021
The Breakfast Pizza and their cocktails. Bloody Mary’s and Siena Spritz
Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014
The big plate of chicken: overcooked. The big plate of osso buco: almost overcooked. The cocktails are two sweet; one of them (the No. 4, a lightly tweaked aviation) is subtle and lovely. Read more
Christopher FlossJune 26, 2017
Fantastic brunch menu! The artichoke omelette is very fresh and light. The avocado toast is also a great choice! #SundayBrunch #Chicago
Kari Laabs-BurgAugust 12, 2013
Great restaurant endeavor by Top Chef Fabio. Delicious food and great location. I recommend the Lobster hash and #2 cocktail!
Amanda GilmoreAugust 19, 2013
Get the coccoli - a light doughy ball served with prosciutto wrapped around truffle cheese with honey! The flavors are amazingly delish!
Christine DMay 27, 2015
Loved my lobster brunch, amazing with a little truffle taste 👌 must try!!

Great location in River North. Scene is what you would expect for this neighborhood. Great food and good drinks.
EdJune 4, 2015
Outstanding Italian food! I followed foursquare's users tips and ordered the Coccoli appetiter and the squid ink fettuccini. D-licious!
Anne SmithJuly 9, 2013
Gnocchi was delicious! Brick chicken wasn't great. Portions aren't big enough to share. Excellent service. Outside and bar seating doesn't require reservation per out server. Would go back.
Paresh MJune 19, 2015
I got their Truffle Mushroom pizza with spicy peppers and it was yummy. Great service at the bar as well.

Spaghetti (jumbo lump crab, charred grape tomato, red chili & lemon cream sauce)
Francisco PerezApril 13, 2019
The octopus appetizer and spinach pasta were delicious. Nice wine selection and outstanding service.
Kristen EdsonJuly 18, 2013
Great 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.
