"While it’s fun to sit at lunch or dinner with your Shih-Poobradoodle beside you, the guilt starts to mount as Captain Olivia watches you shovel food into your face. That won’t happen at Siena Tavern, which has a separate patio menu just for dogs. So she can have chicken breast cooked in olive oil, while you have a wagyu meatball, lobster in squid ink pasta, and a big piece of cheesecake. It’s not quite even, but she’ll still be pretty excited." - adrian kane
"This Italian restaurant is offering family meals for delivery and carryout." - adrian kane
"On the surface, Siena Tavern has all the traits of a typical River North spot: it’s trendy, always crowded, and it has giant booths. And it also happens to be a really great Italian restaurant. You can order the pizzas here half and half, and you can’t go wrong with any of the pastas, like the gnocchi, or the squid ink linguine with lobster." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
"Siena Tavern is full of young professionals, people in town for business, and tourists who are driving across the United States visiting Top Chef restaurants (because, yes, this is one) crowding the enormous bar area. The good news is that all of the Italian food at this River North spot is solid, so you can’t really go wrong with a pasta or one of their creative pizzas. There’s usually a DJ playing in the evening, which adds to the club-like atmosphere, too." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
