    Mushroom and garlic pizza
    Ophelia M.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Shrimp Spaghetti

    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.

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

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

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

It was mid-afternoon when we visited and I'd gone online to make a reservation prior to our visit, but that wasn't really necessary. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and shown to a booth in the back room...far away from the cold draft of the front door. Our server came over to take our drink orders right away and we ordered a Caesar salad to share. I found it odd that their Caesar comes with tomatoes, but it must be a Chicago thing because I saw that on the menu of another pizzeria that we visited while in town. The salad was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We also ordered a small pepperoni pie (deep dish) and were surprised at just how small it was. It was almost like a personal size...but let me tell you, the personal size is tiny! One slice of the small pie nearly took up the space of the entire personal sized pie that we took home with us. While in-store, I signed up for their rewards program and got a coupon for a free personal sized pie, with some stipulations. It was to-go only and you had to spend at least $10, but our dine-in order could not count towards that total. It had to be processed as a separate transaction. That was no problem for us since we were headed back to our hotel and had a full kitchen there, we decided to order wings along with our free baby-sized pie to-go. The wings were phenomenal. Top tier. A+. Highly recommend! I actually preferred the sausage pie that we took home over the pepperoni pie, and that's not usually my vibe. I think something about the grease in the sausage lends itself to the moisture of the pie. The pepperoni pie was a little dry. Overall, we loved the atmosphere and the service, so we would definitely come back again in the future.

The Italian beef + giardiniera half was good too, more savory and heavier, but the meat had more of a pulled texture than actual than expected. 7.5/10. The seafood skillet didn't really land for me. It had too much wine flavor and the breadcrumbs got soggy fast. 4/10. Overall, come here for the pizza only. That's what makes this spot worth fighting for reservations.

Cheese doesn't overwhelm the pie and compliments all ingredients with a salty bite Spicy vodka and sausage--so different than the first pie but equally as delicious! Vodka sauce has a deep flavor with only subtle heat. Sausage packs a ton of flavor. Heavier of the two pies since it had more cheese on it but my husband enjoyed Chocolate peanut butter sundae--birthday celebration treat brought by our server! Wow it's a must order.
