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.

My husband and I went here for an early-Valentines Day celebration. I agree with the other reviewers that the parking situation is just plain annoying, and would definitely limit how often we would want to come back. However, the entrees were flawless. We both ordered the Tagliatelli Bolognese, and the pasta was perfectly cooked and the meat sauce was delicious. The dessert was more average, and the cappuccino's were weak. The server was friendly enough, but we felt oddly rushed during our meal even though there were plenty vacant tables. At one point -- I am not making this up -- the server actually stood there and watched as I scooped the last bite of salad onto my fork, and snatched my plate before I had put it into my mouth!
Pros: Wonderful pasta
Cons: Average service

The atmosphere is lovely and romantic. The food is delicious!! The pate appetizer left us wanting more, the trout and salmon were some of the best ever! We had reservations for a 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening dinner. We drove around for 20-25 minutes looking for a parking place!! When we finally found one about 2 blocks away I asked the hostess why they didn't have valet parking. Her response was that it was available on Friday and Saturday evenings only and that the owners were aware of the problem, but nothing could be done. If the restaurant had been full, we would have been more understanding. But there were very few diners. Most of the parking spots were occupied by those eating at Waterloo Ice House. Yes, it's a great restaurant, but there are others in Austin that are also great who provide valet parking or ample parking spaces.
