Such a cute spot!!! The decor is beautiful, the music isn’t too loud. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice dinner with friends or family. Lovely cocktails - try the Hugo Spritz. I did ask our server’s name but then I immediately forgot it :( She was absolutely lovely. Towards the end of our meal she told us she was a new hire, but we never would have guessed - she was a consummate professional, took excellent care of us and was just generally great.The food is really good! The burger + truffle fries are great, rich and savoury. The lasagna is huge. Very filling. You’ll want to end your meal with an espresso, which here is reasonably priced and well made. I’ll definitely come here again.

This cozy Italian restaurant is warm and inviting. The food is delicious and moderately priced for the area! I felt like I struck gold when I had come in on a cold Monday night to find a $30 lobster special in the upper east side!

I love dining here on Sundays for brunch! It’s an amazing place to hangout, eat have drinks and enjoy great food. The food portion is a lot but it is worth every bite. Trust me!The staff are helpful and friendly! I HIGHLY recommend this place!Anything you order you will LOVE!

I love this place such a cute find! The vibe was so fun and friendly and inviting I felt comfortable the whole time, not to mention the food is absolutely delicious. We ordered both gnocchi‘s since we couldn’t figure out which one we wanted both of the sauces were delicious and such a filling plate, we ordered three Crostini’s all amazing the Burrata, the salmon and the wild mushrooms were great. The clams were so perfectly flavored, and the beef carpaccio was beyond fresh and perfectly sliced. Also, this salad salad was so refreshing, just get everything!

Siena Cafe is an absolute gem. Exceptional food, charming decor and impeccable service. The potato gnocchi with braised short rib was hands down my favorite – each bite melts in your mouth and the meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. The pesto gnocchi was vibrant and aromatic, bringing a freshness to the meal, as did the farmers salad which was crisp and perfectly dressed. We ordered three different crostinis - burrata, salmon and wild mushroom which were all delicious. They are served on a perfectly toasted piece of crusty, chewy Italian bread instead of the thin, cracker-like toast you typically see. I’m not usually a parm girl, but we ordered the Vodka Chicken Parm, and Im so glad we did. The chicken was crispy and light, the sauce added rich flavor, and the spaghetti was cooked to al dente perfection. For dessert we had the Tartufo and the Tiramisu which was to die for. Outstanding dining experience, highly recommend.

I love the place, service is excellent, Jaime is the prefect waiter, friendly, respectful, knowledgable. Food is incredible, price is good too. I love the ambience. This is my second time here and its becoming my favorite neighborhood restaurant.

We ordered the bottomless brunch. Service was great, Jaime took care of us and did a great job. Music was good too, the perfect volume to listen everyone at the table. Definitely coming back.

Had the steak and eggs (modifications can be made) and the bottomless drinks were definitely worth the price. Food came out perfectly and the steak was well seasoned. The staff was amazing! Jamie made sure our drinks were always full and Gaby made sure that everything was going great! Will definitely be back again!

I went here with my two close friends and we had a blast. The alla vodka was amazing as well as the passionfruit margarita! I would 100% recommend to come here. 10/10 service from Ryan! He was super sweet!

This place had a very good Italian setting with lights, and leaves. The service was amazing with very nice workers, and amazing food with a wide selection of different and unique food. This place had a wide selection of drinks as well including vodka, cocktails, tequila, and many types of wine, beer was also a wide selection. Amazing restaurant!

We came for the bottomless brunch - we left tipsy and full. We got a pizza and omelette which where both good for their price point. The drinks where flowing and tasted good too.

The boozy brunch is truly amazing. Great prices and even better services. Jaime was a great server and very attentive.

Review 18 (2017-05-29 - Rating: 5)
From the minute I walked in I loved this place, just the way its set up makes you feel right at home. I work right across the street so I had to go in not only to try out the food but so I can know if I should recommend It to the tenants at my building. I ordered the Roasted Veal tenderloin. It came in about 15 mins, pretty fast for a non food chain restaurant. From the first bite Sienna had me. Everything was perfect about it. From the way the meat was cooked to the tenderness to the flavor profile of the entire dish mixed; DELICIOUS! I will DEFINITELY be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Peter, and I must say, he is an absolute professional! His skill behind the bar is exceptional, and he truly knows how to make guests feel welcome. The ambiance and service were spot-on, creating an experience that was both enjoyable and memorable. Kudos to Peter for making the night exceptional—I’ll definitely be back!!!!

Good neighborhood spot! Ive been there a couple times before for drinks (and maybe dessert shhh!! LOL). This time we sat at the bar for food, appetizers and some vino =]We got the Clams Oreganata (Seasoned Breadcrumbs, Lemon, Olive Oil) and Potato Gnocchi (Braised Short Rib Ragu). The service was quick and attentive and the atmosphere was fun and inviting.

Absolutely adore this place. The brunch menu? Fantastic. A Friday night first date? Ideal. And this is based on actual experience. 10/10

Review 27 (2024-03-12 - Rating: 5)
I had the avocado toast around 3pm on a Sunday afternoon after being out playing sports on a mostly empty stomach for the entire morning. The avocado toast was heavenly. Perhaps partly due to my starvation and exhaustion 🤣 (The avocado on a separate plate was an extra that I ordered -- $4).No, but more seriously, the toast had the right amount of crunchiness, the smashed avocado had the right amount of salt and sweetness, and the veggies contributed a nice hint of sourness. Overall, very satisfying.The iced coffee with milk and no sugar was also delicious. Can one associate deliciousness with coffee? I dont know but that was how it felt 😄5 ⭐ overall despite a 3 ⭐ for service -- the server didnt do anything wrong, but I just didnt feel very welcome 🤣

Lunch was a nice break from hurry, hurry, get going. VG hamburger special. Their Side Salad was a nice alternative to French fries. The lunch pizza was huge and vg. All in all, reasonably priced, nice portions and friendly staff. Worth coming.

Absolutely a favorite, their brunch menu and atmosphere is one of the best on the Upper East Side. A restaurant Id recommend to anyone.

Bottomless Brunch need I say more ? Steak and eggs and bloodys.

Review 33 (2023-07-04 - Rating: 5)
Overall, if you are looking for classic brunch foods with simple flavor profiles, this could be a good spot to visit.I really liked the salmon omelette I had. Classic omelette but it was enhanced with nice smoked salmon and avocados. The salad and potatoes were also a nice touch. Paired nicely with the mimosas we had.My friends got the breakfast burger and lemon ricotta pancakes, which were both tasty and not over-seasoned or sweet/salty. It seems like this place really likes kept it really simple.The outdoor seating was inviting, and our servers were very courteous to us both on mimosa and water refills. They stopped by often to make sure we were ok.

This place is a nice vibe! Service was pretty good. The only knock was that the first pour of water unfortunately led to a spill in my partners purse. Besides that small accident it was a very chill vibe and the food was great!

Had a great experience visiting Siena yesterday. Staff was super friendly and checked in on us multiple times. Everything that we ordered was delicious.

Review 37 (2024-08-15 - Rating: 5)
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, and I can confidently say its now my new favorite spot. The cocktails are absolutely spectacular. Peter, the bartender, truly dazzled me with his creations. The service was equally impressive, with Louie, my waiter, providing the best attention Ive ever experienced. And the food? Simply sensational. Every bite was a delight. I cant wait to return soon!

Review 38 (2023-07-12 - Rating: 5)
We hosted our daughter’s brunch baptism on Father’s Day at Siena, and it couldn’t have been more perfect and memorable! One of the owners (Russ) was extremely accommodating throughout our planning and allowing us to decorate and use the space as we like, and the entire team (Mel, Ella, Leo, Sarah, etc!) ensured our gathering was as delightful as it was! We can’t thank Siena enough for giving us the chance to host such a special occasion that was unique, comfortable and affordable (especially here in NYC, and in our beloved UES neighborhood) ☺️ Thank you again, and we look forward to more beautiful moments shared at Siena!🥂

Review 39 (2024-09-11 - Rating: 4)
Its beautifully decorated, service is attentive and very good and drinks were great according to my friends who had bloody Marys for lunch. The only reason Im giving 4 stars is because of the portion size of the skirt steaks we received at brunch. My friend and I had skirt steaks that look like half of what we both should have received. The flavor was great, but the portion size was really disappointing. Its worth considering to come back judging by the other options on the menu.

Almost every time I’m in NYC, I stop by. Great food and reasonable prices

Review 41 (2023-03-29 - Rating: 4)
Went for my dads birthday and food is absolutely delicious! Prices are good for the amount they give you, at least for the main course like pastas.Unfortunately our waitress wasn’t too good… she forgot to give us water when our glasses were empty, don’t ask for extra forks after the appetizer and most important, she didn’t tell us that paying with credit card we were going to be charged 3.5% more.Overall place is great, amazing food and great vibes!!!! Will definitely come back soon for more pastaPLEASE for ONLINE Orders, add MORE cheese. Every time I order two meal I get the super mega tiniest container of cheese that is not even enough for one meal.

Review 42 (2022-05-12 - Rating: 5)
I stopped in one day unexpectedly and tried their fresh homemade pasta with meatballs. Wow! One of the best fresh pasta I have had. I knew when I wanted pasta, Siena is my top choice. I have gone about a dozen times since then (for late night drinks). This place has a great atmosphere, great food, and great drinks. I recommend Siena when you’re in the mood for a nice cozy meal with a drink. It’s a great way to let go and relax.

Bottomless brunch cocktails are a great deal. I love that its not just mimosas. The food was pretty standard cafe food, completely fine, but nothing special.

Review 47 (2024-05-14 - Rating: 5)
Staff, food, drinks, the whole 9 yards for this UES restaurant are great!..... found out they are opening a bigger place a block over so we will deff be checking it out. This hood is about to get real!!!

Came here for brunch. Entrees and beer selection are simple. Cocktails are awesome. We got burger, pasta and egg salmon Benedict, flavor is very mild and I can definitely appreciate the subtlness of it. Some may or may not prefer that. The pricing is amazing. Its actually cheap for Manhattan location.The ambiance is nice, its a big space and if you have a big group, they can easily cater to that.Goodluck finding parking haha.

A beautiful place serving delicious Italian food. The best part of the meal was their homemade tomato sauce. We happened to pass by the area and saw a plate of tomato sauce being carried by a waiter, which looked fantastic! It was a spontaneous decision. We made the right choice! My spinach fettuccini with shrimp and calamari was excellent! What I liked about the sauce was that they added real tomatoes, and cooked whole tomatoes, not chunks or sauce alone. I got the taste of the tomatoes. I love good quality tomato sauce. Hubby’s meal had a different type of tomato sauce and it was good too. My sauce was Fra Diavolo and he was Marinara. Before the entrees, we had fried artichoke, baked clams, and smoked salmon for appetizers. The baked clams were fabulous! Fresh clams with fewer bread crumbs, best way to eat. Get this if you love clams! The smoked salmon was served with goat cheese on a piece of toast. Amazing appetizers! Great service too! Recommended!

Go for happy hour. Drinks and food on happy hour. The zucchini chips were a little too heavily fried, but really good. The cacio e pepe was very good. Truffle fries also tasty. I had one of the cocktails on HH hour, but can’t remember which one 🤦🏽‍♀️ very well made and fresh tasting.

Impeccable service. Very good food! Lunch special says $15 BUT that is for just pasta with tomatoe sauce If you choose a different sauce, $4 more, if you add musgrooms etc $4 more. My $15 lunch special was $24 $31 inclding 1 glass of wine.Check your bill. Keep your reciept, they added 10.00 to my bill after I had already tipped %20. Made me not want to go back. Spent 160.00 for lunch.

I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and I went to spend time with my friend BIBI (B) The owner Ameer went above and beyond to accommodate me, getting Halal lamb for me. It was so delicious 😋 and the portion was a lot. Also the staff and everyone was very helpful and treated us very well. The lobster 🦞 😋 fish everything we had was awesome. I would give Sienna a 10 star 🌟 instead of 5. Thank you Ameer for the delicious 😋 lamb, cant wait to come back. Thanks also to the entire staff. 🙏🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽

I like the menu. The staff if always pleasant and fairly attentive.However, the outer door is always open, so when people enter thru the inner door on a cold day, you get an artic blast. I like to eat at the bar so this is a problem. Often, if there is no seat [sort of] out of the wind tunnel, I just turn around and leave.

Overall experience was amazing!! The place is very cozy and romantic and will definitely set the vibe. They have a full bar which is a plus. Everything we ordered was legit delicious. And of course, i have to mention the amazing service from the staffs. Very attentive and they’re on top of it. Everyone there is friendly. I will definitely come back for date nights and family dinners or even when i just wanna hang out and sit at the bar.!

Review 72 (2022-05-11 - Rating: 5)
The staff is super friendly and the food is above expectations. The gnocchi is probably my favorite thing there, along with the branzino. There’s a wide variety of liquor and wine to choose from as well. This place is definitely my weekly go-to spot.

Review 73 (2019-09-16 - Rating: 5)
I rarely edit reviews but this one certainly deserves it. For the first few months after they opened the food was marginal at best. Food Has gotten dramatically better. Last few visits some of the best Italian in the neighborhood. Plus you can’t beat the outdoor seating.

Such a great spot!!! I just hosted a bottomless brunch for my birthday and I couldn’t have asked for a more affordable, cute spot with a great atmosphere and staff. There were heavy delays with transportation throughout the city so a majority of my party was delayed but our server was so accommodating and understanding and we didn’t feel rushed or inconveniencing whatsoever. $32 for bottomless AND your meal is hard to come by in the city, especially in the UES. highly recommend and WILL come back!!!

Review 81 (2021-04-18 - Rating: 4)
*UPDATED REVIEW*During the earlier days of covid, there was WAY too much plastic waste so I gave this restaurant 3 stars:“The reason I’m giving 3 stars is because the food was on the average size and regarding our drinks there was just TOO MUCH PLASTIC WASTE. Each drink is served in a plastic cup WITH a straw, so including our ordered drinks, we were also served water in plastic cups with straws. I can understand that with Covid people are taking extra precautions, but this was to the point where it was excessively wasteful for the environment.”—Since then, I have gone back and they have switched out their plastic cups for normal glassware (although they still do use plastic straws...)The outdoor decor here is definitely cute, there are a lot of plants and lights that make it very cozy during the day or at night. Now that it’s getting warmer, their outdoor dining is really enjoyable for a casual night out or if you’re going on a date.We usually order or eat dinner here every 1-2 weeks so we have tried a fair amount of their menu, including their boozy brunch.For food, this place is my GO-TO for their Parmesan truffle fries... they’re served with aioli and soooo delicious. (Note: they actually serve you a larger portion if you get the fries to-go rather than sit down.)The boozy brunch is fine, their mimosas were a bit watered down, so we ended up switching to plain Prosecco. Their French toast was a bit burnt and the bread they used wasn’t the best - it wasn’t super soft and the crust was a bit hard to chew through. Their burger was good but a bit undercooked from what we requested (medium/ well done).My favorite cocktail drink here is the Fig in the City, it’s very fruity and sweet if that’s what you’re into. But their other drinks (Moscow mule, marg) are pretty good.Their the spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parm and chicken Milanese are good but nothing to brag about. However, my boyfriend LOVES their meatballs (Polpette) which I personally think are just ‘average’.I quite enjoyed their Rigatoni Bolognese and Gnocci with pesto, and would recommend those.Overall, this place has become a regular restaurant we go to during this pandemic, as the environment and ambiance is great- and we’ve found the menu items that have become our favorites.

I had the Black Fettuccine. It was delicious, it’s hard to find good Black pasta, but this one was well made, highly recommend. I deducted a star because 30 min in the meal, while still eating the staff started to ask if we were done, they kept coming back every 10 minutes.

In the spirit of an early birthday gift to myself I wanted to have my favorite dish. It was delicious as always. I sat at the bar and Sophie was nice. My rossini was amazing. She never let me have an empty glass. The day was made even better by my birthday old fashion drink. I will definitely being going back soon

Found this place when looking for a graduation brunch for a friend. It is always reliable. The bottomless brunch is a fantastic deal and the menu options are unique. The service is great and attentive and they refill bottomless drinks often. In the several times Ive been here, I particularly liked the avocado toast and the French toast. I would like to try to dinner too, although Ive only come for brunch. I recommend to all friends in the area!

Fantastic! Wow! The food was absolutely incredible. Loved the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. The service was impeccable and so friendly too. We ordered arancini as an appetizer. It was kind of like risotto balls and was delicious! I could’ve eaten just that. For dinner, we ordered the tortellini with cream pesto sauce and chicken Parmesan over spaghetti. Both were delicious! And for dessert, added the nice gelato trio. Can’t wait to come back again

This is like, an old school bottomless brunch. Jaime took great care of us, our glass was never empty and we got out of here for less than $45, with a 25% tip.

I had the special, stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese and fusili side. It was good although a little underwhelming.

Great food and place. You have to try the bottomless brunch option and you wont regret it.

Review 137 (2020-11-17 - Rating: 5)
The outdoor seating was nice. But it was very cold that day. I wish I knew we could sit inside. Food was great, the rowdy brunch crowd next to us were quite frustrating. But what do you expect?! Waitress was also very kind. The eggplant parm was extremely cheesy to my liking. And the truffle in the pasta was not overwhelming. Thank you Siena Cafe.

Gabby was our hostess and she is phenomenal! The food was amazing and can’t recommend the bottomless brunch enough! They are all so accommodating and amazing here please come to Siena! Such an UES experience and gem ❤️

It is a great place for a friend group, however if you are looking for a cute datenight (how I was with my girlfriend), it may be a bit overwhelming. The food was great, so was service. The only minor point really is the spacing, we got a little table right in between so many big groups that it was hard for us to maintain a conversation. If it wasnt for that, I would definitely give it 5 stars.
