Bar Siena O'Hare

This was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Very good. Much bigger than I expected, though, so had to take half to go. Waitress was very sweet and helpful. My drink was good as well. Definitely recommend if you’re in terminal 5.

⚠️ ⛔️ Exercise caution ⛔️⚠️ ⚠️⛔️ The owner of this bar does not care about you ⛔️⚠️ I visited Bar Siena while flying from Chicago O’Hare, and it was an incredibly disappointing experience. First, I had to endure a long wait to get seated because the place was severely understaffed. After finally securing a spot, I was left unattended for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, guests who arrived after me were already served drinks. It felt quite offensive and frustrating. When I asked a server about my order, his excuse was, “I thought my other colleague took your order.” Do they not coordinate or communicate at all? When I finally managed to place my order, I requested a beer and a pizza. After waiting another 7-8 minutes, the server came back and mentioned that they were changing the beer tap, so the beer would take longer. The pizza itself was tasty but severely lacking in chicken, which was clearly listed as part of the dish on the menu. As I sat there, I took the time to read reviews online, and to my surprise (or perhaps not), I found countless complaints about the same issues: rude behavior from staff, long wait times, and general neglect of customers. I experienced all of these firsthand, and it’s evident that management does nothing to address these concerns. They don’t seem to care about training their team, motivating staff, or improving service—despite the flood of negative reviews. The ignorance from staff and management alike is appalling, and if you value timely, respectful service, I’d strongly recommend steering clear of Bar Siena.

Arrived at 4:15pm on a Sunday... Only food option was pizza. The beverage menu lists several items that were not available. Our server truly could have not cared less.

Cute little pizza joint for a pit stop at O'Hare. We ordered the Burnt Pepperoni - which was definitely cooked but not burnt. The 'za was fresh out of the pizza oven which was nice. The pizza was a little on the greasy side, but the crust and taste were good. The bartender was super friendly and even talked some basketball with my husband. Overall, we had a good experience at Bar Siena.

Bar Siena as an exceptional fine Italian dining restaurant in the new newly finished 4 year / $1.1 billion expansion project of terminal 5, and is certainly a culinary gem from at Chicago O'Hare. It's popularity was first engaged when our table for two was about a 45 minute wait, but given that we had some time before our flight it certainly was worth the it. On top of the restaurant being full until we wrapped up our meal a little after 6:00 p.m., there was a steady flow of people at the takeouts window as well. Once seated Michael was our server, and bar none one of the more personable waiters we had in our whole weekend trip to Chicago. Being electronic music lovers it was awesome to hear the sublime playlist that was playing in the establishment, and then asking Michael he said that it's about the same 12 tracks on repeat 😂 Each of the 4 TVs in the dining area was airing a different channel, and with the Olympics in full swing it was nice being able to catch a couple of the different preliminaries during our visits. The menu had so many amazing items on there that we had to try our own little tour of Italy, starting off with the meatballs combined with drinks, my wife and I sharing the espresso martini while she has the No 15 and my go-to favorite beer: a Blue Moon. 🍺 Served with a delicious marinara sauce and bread, the meatball was devoted quickly, and with the amazing flavors we were already won over in our claims of probably one of our favorite Italian spots ever - and it didn't stop there! We had ordered the chopped salad and the wild mushroom pizza to share and before we could get through the end of our meatball we knew we're going to have to get the pizza to go. The chopped salad had tiny little pieces of cucumber & cheese, bread crumbs, and a litany of meats, tomatoes and delicious dressing. One of the highlights of our table location was being so close to the kitchen and seeing the line cooks preparing and then one of the top chefs putting the finishing touches before the plates were delivered to their tables. As expected the savory pizza and the heavenly aroma of garlic only made it past one slice, so the rest of it came with us as we departed, in hopes that the entire plane doesn't try to steal a piece 🍕 Price wise it certainly had the cost of a fine Italian restaurant, but at the end of our visit our raving after finishing each item was worth the cost! 👏

I ordered a Genovese pizza, and it was edible. The dough tasted undercooked, the pesto was tasteless, and the greens on top were bland, but the chicken and tomato were good. The cheese was barely noticeable. So, for the price, it was a little disappointing. The service was good.

I don’t understand why the reviews are so low of this place, the food and service were both excellent, not just for an airport restaurant but for any place. You could tell the chefs and sous chefs are experts and take care of the food they serve. Next time I am in terminal five I am definitely coming back!

This is near Gate 34 and you barely have any other restaurants..we crossed gate 28 and realized there was nothing around and were about to turn back when we saw the poster for Bar Sienna. We ordered Pizzas and beer and drinks,all were pretty good.

This bar is definitely one of my favorites at O'Hare Airport. Whenever I have time to spare in Terminal 5, I always look forward to stopping by. The atmosphere is beautiful with great vibes, making it a perfect place to unwind. While it can get busier at times, the staff is consistently attentive and friendly. I love having a glass of wine before my flight, and if you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. They also offer food, and the margarita pizza is absolutely amazing.

So I've tried the Bar sienna off Randolph and I absolutely loved it. This location at the airport wasn't the same. The food was decent. The pizza was good. But the service was terrible. Not specifically our waitress but the entire staff in general. We sat for almost 15 minutes before being even acknowledged and then when we ordered the bar tender didn't let us know the cocktail we ordered was out.. how do you run out of cocktail supplies by 10am??? Overall the food was good. Service wasn't. Worth a stop if you're stuck in the terminal on a layover. Enjoy

This area of O'Hare seems to be still under construction. It seems as though there are several eateries that will be going in but for now, the only option (other than grab and go snacks) seems to be Bar Siena. Not to worry, though! Bar Siena is wonderful. I've been to their West Loop location and loved it so was happy to see their presence in O'Hare. We ordered a mushroom and garlic pizza to share as well as a potato skin appetizer. The potato skins are deep fried and parmesan sprinkled. They're served with a garlic aioli for dipping. They actually weren't quite what I was expecting but were good enough. Their pizza is thin crust and was delicious. It was perfectly cheesy and flavorful. We so enjoyed it! The prices are what you'd expect to pay at the airport. The service was slow. It would have definitely been an issue if we were dealing with a tight connection or otherwise short on time. Other than that--great! Get to it!

Located at the very end of the international concourse at O'hare is Bar Siena offering a horse shoe shaped bar and some sit down tables. Like most other airport restaurants, we showed up to a fairly chaotic scene with dirty bar tops and dishes scattered around. Luckily, a "high-energy" local Chicagoan showed up and got the bar and kitchen back in line with orders. With his gregarious and assertive attitude engaged with all patrons at the bar and made sure everyone was being served accordingly. The pizza wouldn't stand a chance on the streets of Chicago, but was hand stretched, and cooked in a pizza oven giving the dough a crunchy and chewy texture that we all desire. The caprese salad was decent and the meatballs looked pretty good, but remember we are talking about airport food here. If it wasn't for the service, this would easily be a 2-3 star review for food.

I had an amazing meal at this restaurant in the airport prior to my flight and HIGHLY recommend. Usually, I go to the lounge for a quick snack, but I wanted a hearty meal and this did not disappoint. I chose the Shrimp Spaghetti and it was a great size meal, very tasty and super fresh. This definitely makes me want to try out their bigger locations in the city as this was a phenomenal experience.

The service was excellent, and the food was fine. Oddly, one of the televisions was tuned to Newsmax, which was running a story saying that the January 6 insurrectionists were persecuted.

The food is not good. They claimed to be vegan friendly, and my wife ordered a vegan meal that was very basic, very small portion and not good. Oh, and they charged more for the vegan pasta than for other pastas. Which I still don't get. Thought the pizza would be good, but it was a floppy mess. I do feel for the wait staff. They seemed spread too thin and not trained enough.

Adrianne made the best pizza! Loved it Best flavor. Cooked right to perfection. Would definitely come back for more.

It's pretty quiet over on this end of O'Hare. I just stopped in and a had a beer as I was waiting for my flight. Not a bad experience at all.

Couldn't be worse service. Didn't get the chance to order a drink while sitting AT the bar for 14 minutes while it was at half capacity. The waitress cleaned, sat on her phone, went to the back, and never once came up to us until I yelled across the restaurant to her to come back into the bar from the bar. Shame to paint such a bad name on an incredible restaurant in the city. Two star only because the food is still good.

Limited menu as they are opening but the food was hot and very good. We were a litttle scared going in but the omelettes were perfectly done.

Clearly we're not in Wisconsin anymore, but seriously- ANY pizza should have more cheese than this! Expensive. Bland. Disgusting.

I understand price gouging but $13 for a non alcoholic beer! I had the chop salad with a suggestion for a chicken breast, $26! So dinner by myself two non alcoholic beers and a mediocre chop salad over $62 with tip! I had a fabulous steak dinner the night before for $40. Another disappointed visit to Ohare. I would steer away until they figure out better pricing or it gets closed down. Should have went to the vending machines.

Remarkably inattentive service :( It's an airport restaurant - most places get you in and out. Here ordering 2 glasses of wine and a pizza to share with my partner took well over an hour due to no fault of kitchen, and totally the fault of the incredibly uncaring bartender - forgot to put in our pizza order, messed up the wine... literally it was 3 total items from a limited menu. It was a slow time, there were 3 front of house staff, 4 customers by my count. We eat out at airports a lot and I'm understanding of limited service due to staffing and crowds...this was a terrible experience due to an impressive level of incompetence. Manager was there too, and I tried multiple times to connect with him -he clearly didn't care either. Pick literally any other restaurant in this terminal - you won't regret it. Adding one star bc the pizza was good once we finally got it, so cheers to team at back of house.

Don't bother. They run out of most menu items and close the kitchen earlier than told or stated on their page.
