Jessie SweetAugust 15, 2014Went there for happy hour with my friend after work and will definitely be back ! Aside from the lively atmosphere and full bar the food was amazing too!!the coccoli, squid ink pasta, and #2 =perfect
Hannah AlkadiDecember 29, 2016This 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
Heba-I-amJuly 28, 2017One 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 ❤️❤️)
EaterOctober 31, 2013The 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.
Chris DavisJuly 5, 2020For 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.
- Damon SununtnasukJanuary 28, 2017A 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
Linda DunlapJuly 22, 2017Note 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 :)
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 2, 2016Siena 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
Absolutely loved the brussels sprout pizza. Our server was excellent, the manager was very attentive and even treated us to free gelato. Lovely experience.
Fernando CovasAugust 31, 2014Brunch 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!
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!
Everything is good! Coccole are highly recommended, as well as the wagyu meatballs. Pizzas were delicious. Our server Clint was very helpful.
Busem E.Y.April 27, 2017Stracci pasta,cinque formaggie pizza&truffle mushroom pizza are highly recommended,so delicious.The ambiance and service staff are very nice.So convenient for the groups,families and business lunches.
Neiki UllahFebruary 11, 2014Get 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.
AngelaSeptember 30, 2014Their 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.
Sofia CaseJune 20, 2021Brunch > dinner. Go for the lobster eggs benedict with a side of sausage. Unbeatable!
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.
Angie OsmanskiApril 10, 2016Great 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!
Linda FelterAugust 4, 2014It'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.
Sam FOctober 13, 2013The 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.
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.
Susan RiceSeptember 28, 2018I 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.
Anuta SJune 12, 2014Food 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.
Shari NealNovember 17, 2013The 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.
Tony JonesMarch 31, 2017Excellent food and service. Prices are well worth the quality of food. Mimosa bar is great for several to make your own mimosa. Definitely recommend.- The Wagyu Beef Meatball Sandwich was pretty damn amazing. And the gnocchi is always a good decision.
Samuel RosemondOctober 27, 2017Great 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
maureen flossJune 26, 2017The #mimosa is outstanding. Freshly squeezed orange juice with just the right amount of Prosecco. Loved the poached eggs on the avocado toast!
GnrJune 8, 2015i didnt like truffles pizza,heavy for me,but very good pasta!!very very delicious grilled octopus!nice environment and decoration..you should go there ..- Squid ink pasta is by far my favorite meal ever! Must get the coccoli and tiramisu
Kailei CarrAugust 10, 2013The 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.
My favorite restaurant in Chicago. The pizza's are awesome, NYC style. Great wine selection and good "action at the bar".
Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The 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
Amanda GilmoreAugust 19, 2013Get the coccoli - a light doughy ball served with prosciutto wrapped around truffle cheese with honey! The flavors are amazingly delish!- Christopher FlossJune 26, 2017Fantastic brunch menu! The artichoke omelette is very fresh and light. The avocado toast is also a great choice! #SundayBrunch #Chicago
- Anne SmithJuly 9, 2013Gnocchi 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.
- EdJune 4, 2015Outstanding Italian food! I followed foursquare's users tips and ordered the Coccoli appetiter and the squid ink fettuccini. D-licious!
Leland BrewsterNovember 6, 2015Brunch is definitely a strength. I highly recommend the breakfast skillet. Add bacon or sausage if you want some extra protein.
ISC ChicagoNovember 21, 2018Spaghetti (jumbo lump crab, charred grape tomato, red chili & lemon cream sauce)
Sophia LeeApril 17, 2013The squid ink linguini is absolutely amazing. Great service, knowledgable and friendly. A new fave
Great location in River North. Scene is what you would expect for this neighborhood. Great food and good drinks.
- ISC ChicagoOctober 10, 2020SPAGHETTI (jumbo lump crab, charred tomato, red chili & lemon cream sauce)
Paresh MJune 19, 2015I got their Truffle Mushroom pizza with spicy peppers and it was yummy. Great service at the bar as well.- Kari Laabs-BurgAugust 12, 2013Great restaurant endeavor by Top Chef Fabio. Delicious food and great location. I recommend the Lobster hash and #2 cocktail!
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
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.
