    The food is good to me. It was pretty average service was impeccable, which is mainly why I'm giving the four stars as well as for the ambience of the place. It is a beautiful restaurant however, among all the dishes we ordered we only liked two of them. The eggplant stack was okay. The grilled octopus was very good. It came with a potato fritter, which was also very delicious. The chicken cutlet with the vodka sauce rigatoni was amazing and probably the best dish we had that night. I would also skip on the mushroom tortellini. I felt like it could be a lot more creamier. The tortellini was definitely overcooked. The pizza was probably the most terrible thing we had. overall, I don't think I will be returning, but it's good to try one time for maybe only the vodka sauce, rigatoni with chicken cutlet and the grilled octopus.

    Pork Chop
    Brian S.

    Wonderful Moscow Mules served up by the bartending staff. Then she recommended the pork chop which was other worldly and absolutely phenomenal. Tender and flavorful and cooked to perfection on a bed of mashed potatoes and broccolini. I'd always known Siena for their great pizza but this dish is over the top and a great reason to return.

    This was my second time at Siena, and everything form the service, the ambiance, and most importantly, the food, was top notch. Our server was extremely attentive. The olives and Parmesan was a nice touch to be served with bread. My duck breast was probably one of the best meals I've had at a Buffalo restaurant ever. The coffee was also tasty. I really enjoy it here.

    While staying in the area for business meetings we came here for dinner... Made a reservation and it's good we did, they pack this place at dinnertime! Service was decent, but the menu was great! So many incredible options to choose from! They have a nice list of pizzas too, as they have a wood fired pizza oven. We started with their table bread and this was some outstanding bread, which also included crackers and I'm pretty sure it's all made in-house. They have a nice wine list and it's not over-priced either. Next up was their salad, which was really good and made with fresh ingredients! Definitely enough salad to split with someone. Their entrées all impressed those at the table! The pork chop was incredible and so was the fish dish of the night, a halibut. Pizza was really good too! Highly recommend saving room for dessert, they have a nice list of options for dessert! Definitely some really good eats here... Stop in and see for yourself!

    Chefs special: Veal with mashed potato and veg

    Cute restaurant located in Snyder. Our server was fantastic, it was nice to connect with someone with small kids and we exchanged ideas for ways to keep them busy this spring break! Really enjoyed the tuna tartar appetizer. The Osso buco and risotto was delicious. I had the chefs special, a veal shank with potato mash and veg and that was very good as well. Your dinner also starts with olives bread and cheese. I had a great blackberry mule too!

    My husband and I finally made it here for dinner, and it was absolutely amazing. I don't know if they accept walk-ins, but we had a reservation, and we still had to wait about 10-15min to be seated. We went to the bar for a drink and it wasn't a problem. When we were seated it, I found that the restaurant is much bigger than I realized. The ambiance is nice. It can get a little loud but nothing terrible. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We did go closer to the holidays, so I'm thinking that that could be why it was packed Everything was great. The service was wonderful and our waitress was very nice. I didn't get many pictures because we spent our time really enjoying the meal. I do know that I'll be back for sure. On a side note, the parking lot is a little tight, and the night we went, it was full. I managed to find a spot and backed in because I knew leaving would be tricky. At the start of my meal, the hostess started going around asking if anyone had a particular car. It wasn't mine, so I continued my meal. The hostess made a second round of asking about another vehicle. Apparently, the person of the first vehicle in question had parked in a way that a person couldn't safely back out. However, that person couldn't be found in the restaurant. So, they decided to ask me to pull out of my spot so that the woman blocked in could pull forward through my spot, and then I could go back to the spot. I was a little annoyed. Not at anyone, just the situation. But of course, I hopped up to go move. Everyone apologized it was no big deal. I went back to dinner. At the end of the night, they offered us free desert for moving the vehicle. It was a super nice gesture. I was stuffed, but my husband ate one there, and we took one to go. They absolutely did not have to do that, but it was very sweet. My husband loved both of his sweet treats, too!

    This is not a fine dining salad. There is way too many stems.
    Jiwon K.

    If this is what they call fine dining, I'm scared. I don't think they understand what that means. Is it a nicer restaurant? Sure. Fine dining? Absolutely not. But hey, it's the suburbs of Buffalo, so the standards may be different. The nearly 30 min wait when we had reservations -- not off to a good start. Immediately I knew it was not "fine dining". Then, the salad. It was a crime. Almost half of the salad was the white stem part of the lettuce. Fine dining establishments ensure that every single bite is perfect and of the highest quality. This was not that at all. It was giving olive garden level quality of care and attention to the food. And when I gave the server the feedback saying the salad was just okay because it was all stems, all she said was okay. Why even bother asking me how the food is, if you don't actually care? The main was good, but I could not get past how everything else leading up to this point was severely below "fine dining" experience, it didn't matter to me.

    Osso Buco

    Every time I'm in buffalo this is my go to restaurant. Never fails to impress. Great food, solid service by "Kate " and a lively atmosphere.

    Stuffed Hot Banana Peppers
    Maria P.

    If you're looking for incredible service and amazing food, Siena is the place for you! It is always on my rotation of places for a special occasion and a great meal. This time around for appetizers we got the Salsiccia pizza, Caesar salad and stuffed banana peppers. The pizza was excellent and had a great little spice to it from the cherry peppers. You can never go wrong with one of their pizzas! The Caesar salad and banana peppers were good too, but the pizza was the standout. For entrees, I got the veal cutlets with vodka sauce and I have to be honest, I have never wavered from this dish. They have the best vodka sauce I've ever had, and the cutlets are always so thin and crispy, the whole meal is just phenomenal! We also had the pappardelle, and that was excellent too! I can't recommend those dishes enough! For dessert and drinks, I had the pomegranate mule and the Brookie. The mule was so good and probably one of the best I've ever had, and the Brookie was excellent as always! It's definitely the go to dessert for me. Overall, I love Siena! The service is always top notch and the food is incredible! The atmosphere of the place is perfect for any special occasion or even just date night, and if you get the opportunity ask for Jake, he was an awesome server! Highly highly recommend Siena!

We requested roast beef and expected it to be served, but instead were directed to a carving station. The chicken dish was also not what we expected.

I asked for containers so we could take some of the food and give it to homeless people we know, but we were told we could not take it.

We asked to speak with the manager, but getting assistance was difficult. The most upsetting part came as we were leaving, when the cook came out and threatened to call the police despite the fact that our family had done nothing wrong. The interaction was unprofessional and completely inappropriate, especially considering we were there to honor a loved one who had just passed away. As a former restaurant owner, I understand that mistakes happen. What matters is how management responds. A sincere apology and an effort to make things right would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, we did not feel valued as customers or treated with compassion during a very difficult time for our family. Based on this experience, many members of our family will not be returning.
