"Bar Siena is loud and fun, and an overall great place to go with anyone from out of town. There’s a huge bar dominating the first floor, and a larger dining area upstairs that’s perfect for groups. Pastas and wood-fired pizzas make up most of the menu, and they’re great—the prosciutto and fig pizza has a nice balance of sweet and savory, and the duck mac and cheese is always delicious. Think of this as the practice bunny hill before going all-out for a sceney downtown Chicago dinner." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
