Editorial Review for Siena Ristorante Toscano – by Susan Kirr
In Short
The restaurant looks like an Italian farmhouse, with vaulted ceilings, brick archways, stained concrete floors, limestone walls and native plants. The crowd is older and well-to-do. Vegetarians have only a few choices, but meat lovers will be thrilled. The pappardelle al cinghale consists of delicate ribbon pasta and hearty wild boar meat braised in Chianti with juniper, sage and rosemary.

Just had my birthday lunch at Siena. While the service was great and my friends seemed to enjoy their lunches, I ordered the Pollo Grigliato and it was AWFUL. The chicken was dry and tasteless and the salad greens were bitter and spotted. I didn't raise a stink because the lunch was a gift. But seriously after that experience I won't be going back for dinner. It is just a chicken breast and this is a nice restaurant....why can't they get it right?

My husband and I went here last night with a friend of mine. The food was really delicious and the service was excellent. Our waiter was very friendly, and good at giving us suggestions. My only complaint was that the food was too small. This is not a complaint I would normally make about most restaurants, nor am I some 500 lb person that eats two entrees for dinner. Most places give you enough to feed two people. This place goes to the opposite extreme. I have gone to other "fine dining" restaurants (Emeril's and The Ivy in London, to give an example) and never had a problem with the amount of food. However, last night we ordered an appetizer that the waiter told us was "large" ... it was tiny and scarcely enough for two people, let alone four. Then I ordered the large ravioli dish and a cannoli for dessert. My entree came with seven raviolis, which I had thought would be plenty of food, but I was still starving afterward. The bill was not too outrageous, $60 for two entrees and two desserts (the appetizer was on my friend's tab). That wouldn't have bothered me in the least except that I walked away hungry. The other problem was that the service was pretty slow. I actually would not have minded that, except that we had plans to go to a play at 8pm. We arrived at the restaurant at 6pm and did not leave the table until 7:50pm. Normally, I do not mind a nice, relaxed meal but this isn't a restaurant to go to when you have somewhere to be.
