Modern Italian crowd-pleaser with housemade pasta, lively vibes, and strong cocktails; expect solid food, occasional service hiccups, and a bill that climbs with add-ons and fees.
Siena Tavern earns a solid A- grade through exceptional housemade pasta and pizza execution and stylish, chic design that anchors a lively River North destination.

One caveat: Pricing is genuinely premium (steaks $40-$70, crab pasta $36.99) and add-ons raise checks
