I recently went to an event at Sienna in Smithfield. This was my second event at this location and both times were excellent. I have also eaten at their location on Atwell Avenue in Providence. It's one of my favorites on Federal Hill. The restaurant is warm and comfortable despite being in the strip mall location. The wait staff was superb and attentive and were able to keep everything straight with close to 100 people in attendance. The food served was fried calamari, which is good. It was not greasy at all, and it was crispy. A cheese pizza appetizer pizza is tasty but not really my favorite. For dinner I selected the filet mignon, which was perfection and the dessert was a tiramisu that was outstanding. I highly recommend sienna. read more

Items listed on website do not reflect actual restaurant menu. Service was poor from time of arrival (with reservations) and wait staff. Drink order took 20+ mins, drink order took another 15 mins. Dinner ordering took another 15 min. Once good arrived any special request ( extra sauce on side) not done. Wanted to order glass of wine and 20 mins later and no wine so canceled order. Server now clearly avoiding us. Huge disappointment with this dining experience. Entrance of restaurant has no overflow to make customers feel welcome. read more

Higher end Italian restaurant that offers the full wine and dine experience. There's plenty of parking and it's close to shopping plazas on route 44. It gets very busy on the weekends and reservations are highly recommended. The staff is friendly and the food was very flavorful. I always love coming here to enjoy the beautiful decor and ambience. read more

We had a lovely dinner here recently. We came in at 5pm without a reservation and were able to be seated quickly, even though it was already pretty crowded. I was a little nervous coming with two young kids, but they were very accommodating and brought out our daughter's food quickly after we ordered it. Our dinners were very delicious. The Brussels sprout special was also exceptionally good! The restaurant itself was large and not too loud given the number of people there. We would definitely like to come back and try some more dishes read more

Siena in Smithfield is a lovely and extremely attractive venue whereevery waitstaff individual aims to please. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed our first course - Caesar salads - crisp Romaine lettuce tossed in a tasty homemade lemon Caesar dressing with croutons & Parmigiano Reggiano cheese or Pasta e Fagiole Bianco soup filled with cannellini beans in a white sauce with prosciutto stock. The delicious Italian sliced bread as well as the phenomenal focaccia bread accompanied those dishes. Our entrees included Tagliatelle alla Bolognese consisting of noodles tossed with a Bolognese sauce made with pork, pancetta, a pasta Alfredo special, and Pollo Saltimbocca - a Scallopine chicken breast pan-sauteed with Prosciutto (but there was none on my entree), fresh sage leaves, marsala wine and roasted chicken stock, served with vegetable and potatoes upon request. The latter entree was a bit disappointing. read more

I haven't been to Siena in a long time! I was pleasantly surprised! Sat at the bar, drinks were great - well shaken Cosmo! Bread was good. Ordered a special salad that was out of this world and the pork chop. Flavors were delicious! The bartender was super friendly and attentive! Glad I tried it again, will definitely put this in the rotation! read more

Went to Siena this evening with my family. First off I was a big fan of this for about 20 years. But this time was absolutely the worst meal I ever had. I ordered the seafood special that the waitress described as was "to die for". Let me tell you, this was the worst meal I ever had in my life. I'm an Italian through and through and a good cook. The dish was seafood over risotto. TERRIBLE!!! The dish came with 3 mussels (of which two of the shells were empty) and two baby shrimp the size of my small pinky fingernail for $36. I went home totally starving and ate a grilled chicken breast and crackers to fill my empty stomach. I told the waitress and her response was I should have told her. Maybe I would have if she ever came back to see how our meals were. Never saw her until it was time to pile on dessert. Went there with a party of 6 people who couldn't believe what they served me. Also come to find out there was other complaints on the same meal and they actually took it off the menu immediately. Anyway I never complain in my 70 years of life, but couldn't let this go. I will never go back to any of these Siena Restaurants again. There are so many great places to go with in RI with better food and more reasonable prices. If you who frequent this restaurant think any of their food is good, you have no taste in good Italian quality food. I will never go there again. read more

Went here for a birthday celebration and it was amazing! The servers were so friendly and accommodating for our large party. The food was so good! We had a set menu with some options to choose from. The caprese salad was so refreshing and perfect to start with. For the entree I went with the filet di manzo alla mamma and it couldn't have been better. For dessert I went with the torta chocolata and I've never had a richer piece of chocolate cake. Truly everything was a 10/10! Can't wait to go back. read more

We had dinner at Siena on 6/6-4 adults. Busy place food took almost 2 hours to get to us, and it was just warm Complained. By this time, it was 9:10pm. They wanted to make me a new dinner. Well, I live over 1/2 hour away and I didn't want to be there until 10 pm waiting for my food. They didn't take it off our bill. The waitress was so annoying trying to get me to have a dessert or tea or coffee. At that point I just wanted to leave. Glad I had a gift card. Will never be returning and have told everyone I know how bad the service food and over all experience was. read more

Went here for a family dinner with a party of 8 a few months ago and had one of those nights where unfortunately nothing seemed to go right (will spare details). Thankfully the staff were very attentive and apologetic; it really helped save the evening. Shout out to Tasha M for her kind and pleasant service! If you haven't been to the Smithfield location before, it's beautiful inside with plenty of parking available. The bar area is sophisticated and doesn't feel like a lounge. We were seated in the small room in the back that I imagine is available for private functions so it was fairly quiet; a great thing for a family dinner. Food was fairly average. Calamari looked phenomenal but was a bit tough and chewy. The fried peppers are a huge bonus. We had the crab risotto special and it was once again pretty average. There was a good amount of crab but overall it lacked a bit in flavor. The banana cheesecake was decent and a nice ending to the meal. read more

This is such a cute spot for apps and drinks with your friends! Tried the vodka sauce pizza with eggplant and chicken and it was delicious! Loved the charcuterie board too . It was the perfect size for the two of us. Our server was very helpful when selecting the cheeses we wanted. Would definitely come back to try some entree menu items. read more

Good food, great service -- but seriously, no changing table? We came here for dinner and the food was genuinely great, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, I was shocked to find no changing table in either bathroom -- despite the restaurant clearly welcoming families (there are high chairs everywhere). I had to change my baby on the bathroom floor. The floor. In 2025. At a family-friendly restaurant. It's honestly unacceptable and a major oversight. If you're going to accommodate kids at the table, you need to accommodate them in the restroom, too. Please fix this -- the food deserves five stars, but the experience doesn't read more

What an awesome and special place to spend an evening. We have been here many times for birthdays , holidays , etc. This occasion was for New Year's Eve. A lot of places fall short on this night. It's busy. Food is wrong. Reservations are late. Staff rushes you. Not the case here. We were say at our time and bread and water quickly brought over. As an aside please bring more than one slice of that delicious focaccia. I had to fight hubs for it. lol. They have a nice wine and beer list as well as some amazing cocktails. I had a lavender lemon drop. It was perfect. For dinner I started off with a salad with all kinds of tasty toppings. I had the baked gnocchi and it was so so cheesy and yummy. Hubs had the braised beer with pappardelle. Our food was Delcious , server right on point. This is not a cheap night out but I am a big believer of you get what you pay for. Everything was fresh and tasty. I have a big appetite so finished mine but hubs has a normal one and took half home. It's a really great spot. They take reservations and I recommend making one as it gets busy. Cheers ! read more

So, i will preface this review with the fact that I have been a longtime patron of Siena's. I started when they were a small little place on federal hill and have been a patron in both Smithfield and East Greenwich. I recently moved back to Smithfield and visited tonight ( July 3rd) . The food is always good and the staff attentive. But tonight was a different experience. We arrived at 6:15 and waited a bit to be seated but our wait staff was attentive and quickly took our drink order. 30 minutes in and we still didn't have our drink. It was busy and one bartender was probably not sufficient. However the biggest problem was a new tech system that staff was struggling with and that had a number of glitches. So after a very long wait for drinks and food the manager came by to apologize . Even the busboy tried to aid in our service! We finished at 9:10! Quite a night - this is on corporate though as their planning left their staff and customers very vulnerable and inconvenienced! I appreciate the many apologies and discussion about the perils of technology but maybe next time plan and support staff better and maybe comp a drink or dessert to show you appreciate to the customers patience and understanding! read more

Siena's always our go to for an impromptu date night. We love it here! The food and service are excellent.

For the 5th time, the New England Chapter of the NASPP organized a cocktail hour at the Siena in Smithfield. As always, they did a FAN TAS IC job. The venue is great...location....parking and the restaurant itself but it is the staff that makes the place shine. The prep to get the event organized...great. The serving staff...awesome. The drinks...5 stars...they even helped to create an event signature drink for us that everyone loved. They prepare a great menu that works out every year. We will 100% be back next year for year #6. Event had 60 ppl and we used the back of the dinning room (behind the horse). Five stars! read more

The food is always amazing here. But let me just talk about the manager Andrew for a second. He was amazing today when someone accidentally used the wrong card for our order's. Manager Andrew went above & beyond for a friend of mine when an error occurred regarding her card accidentally being charged $150, when it was only supposed to be charged $11. The manager voided the transaction but unfortunately it can take 3-5 days & she wouldn't have any money for her trip tomorrow so he personally Venmo'd her $100 out of his personal account- that is going above & beyond & he deserves a raise!! He didn't think twice about helping a loyal customer! This has happened to me many times & I have basically been told "too bad" but he went above and beyond & sent her $100 out of his personal account! Thanks again Andrew! I can't even begin to state how great of a person this guy was! My sister-in-law was extremely happy and grateful that they offered her a solution in such a positive way! Thanks again Andrew! We will definitely be back! read more

We enjoyed our night out at Siena. We were seated on time for our reservation. Lots of nice wine, cocktail and mocktail options to choose from. Our waitress was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the fresh bread and butter. We started with the Inverno salad, lots of fresh greens, cranberries and walnuts. $15. The fried artichoke special was creative and delicious. The pastas entrees were good portions, fresh tasting, flavorful. $24 We had to try the Scripelle con Gelato for desert $11...flakey warm doughboys with vanilla gelato and warm Nutella...what could be better!! We will be back! read more

Swung by here today just to meet some friends and have a few drinks and seek redemption from my last visit when I was less than impressed with their Chicken Milanese. Ordered the Neopolitan Margherita and it was simply delicious. Sauce was tangy and zesty and it was the perfect side dish to accompany a couple of cold Stellas. Two slices hit the spot for everyone each (8 slices total) and we all went home happy. Sit at the bar for even quicker service ! read more

Nice restaurant interior! Service was good! Food flavor was just OK, but the portion was so small and not really anything with it in the plate. Had the Cod, and just a small piece in the dish, and not really anything else. Very small dish for the price. Then we tried a desert. Same-thing, one little scoop of gelato and a tiny cup of expresso. Had to go somewhere else later as I was still hungry. Will not recommend to others! read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled into the Grenwich Siena years ago for our anniversary. They were gracious to seat us at a small table near the door on a fully reserved Saturday. We had incredible wine & and food, then we never found the time to go back. 2 weeks ago, we went to this location after finding out the Providence one closed, and this one reopened. I hesitate to write this review as I wish this gem would stay hidden, but the food is so incredible & the wine list is amazing. How can I not tell the world? We arrived at 4:45 hoping to get a bar seat but it was completely full, we assumed with regulars (older folks who can wait outside a restaurant at 4:25 for it to open). We weren't discouraged we just asked for a table in the bar instead. We got a bottle of an Italian Red 2018, reasonably priced and full bodied without being too heavy on the pallet. The waitress was very sweet, I believe her name was Stephanie, but I could be wrong she was a young Asian girl who was knowledgeable, professional & very sweet. She recommended the filet after having it, typically I get pasta at Siena but she made it sound very good and she was right. My boyfriend had the guanciale pasta and loved every bite, not too hot not too sweet. We split the short rib aranciani which was scrumptious. My only wish is this place was open for lunch on the weekends, they would make a killing! read more

I have been to the Siena location in Providence, so we tried this location. Great restaurant for a business dinner as the food and service is exceptional. The Bolognese is the best I have ever had, and I travel a lot. The restaurant had a classy atmosphere and the service could not have better. We also tried the tiramisu and a second desert that was similar to a funnel cake. But much better! read more

We went for a date night on a Saturday. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server was nice, but seemed new. We ordered drinks first, my husband had the sangria and I had a Northstar. They were both good. My second drink was the federal hill martini, which was ok. My husband ordered a Henney and Coke, but was brought straight Coke. We had salads for our appetizers, they were ok. My husband had the filet special and it was cooked just how he wanted it and said it was good. I had the Frutti di mare and it was very good, my leftovers the next say were even better. We ordered dessert to go, which was the Doughboy, they were yummy. The total with tip came to $165. read more

Love the spicy pink penne with grilled chicken! Sat in the bar area at a table for two. It's very pretty & cozy great atmosphere! Service is great too. Call ahead for reservations it's much easier but they'll get you in if they can without them ! read more

We were very hopeful for a great experience. The ambiance was excellent - much better than the clubby vibe of the Providence location. Wait staff seemed nice and friendly. Maybe it's just me but I've always felt that you can get a pretty good sense of restaurant quality by the bread and butter that they serve. Butter straight out of the fridge wrapped in tin foil? Probably a cheap 1-2 star diner. Warm sour dough served with whipped butter at room temperature? 4 stars. Skip the butter altogether and serve a choice of fresh baked breads with chef's house made aioli? I'm primed for a 5 star experience! ... Well, Siena served us cold rolls next to a cool block of butter. Might as well be eating at Papa Gino's. But the Papa don't charge close to 30 bucks for their pastas. Al Forno's does. We held onto hope and ordered the arincini and a pizza for a group of 4. I must say, the arincini was rather tasty, served on a plate covered in gravy. Not bad. Then the pizza. The staff should really taste the food, because ours was a salt lick. It wasn't even the ham that was the problem. Someone salted the hell out of the grilled onions. Wow. Difficult to eat. Well, moving on to pastas. We had 4 of them. The gnocchi had a reasonable vodka sauce (nothing to write home about). But the pasta ate less like gnocchi and more like dumplin's from "chicken and dumplings" - aka hunks of dough. The bolognese was boringly flat. Pasta was bland but OK when eaten with overly salty bolognese sauce. I had the fra diavolo. I like the spice but again, very one note. And the frutti di mare was similarly underwhelming. None of our dishes were finished (other than the arincini). Why waste the calories? So we skipped dessert - not worth it. Overall, the food was OK. I can't give it more than a 3, when I feel like I can cook the food just as well at home. My wife calls it a 2. Not to be offensive, but we both agree that the quality at Cheesecake Factory is better. And so is the bread and butter! Maybe I'm onto something here, cuz any "fine dining" establishment that serves cold rolls and butter really just gave up somewhere along the way. Sorry Siena, but the 2.5-3 star food isn't worth the 5 star prices. For the same amount of money, I'd rather eat at Bacaro or Al Forno or even Massimo. Maybe that's why the restaurant was empty on a weekend? read more

Great food, service was exceptional. The ability to book reservations online, regardless of if it's a small party, was incredibly convenient. The staff work well together and BOTH locations are gorgeous. Highly recommended to anyone that wants great food, huge portions, and a very good price. read more

Great portion size, great flavors, great wine list. This place is solid and can see why it's so popular. Ambiance is comfortable/average spot in the suburbs but all other factors make up. Servers prompt and attentive- they have it down. read more

To go for family was fabulous. We got one each with samples of all their salumeria, olives, and cheese. Put on a large carving board for beautiful antipasto plate. Also got a house salad which split easily for 4. 2 of their meatball appetizers- HUGE, easily a pound each. Split each into 4, ended up eating only half. Great chopped up next day for sandwiches. Never touched the peas and prosciutto side dish- mixed the next day with spaghetti and it was totally delicious. read more

This place came highly recommended and lived up to the hype! We made reservations for 9 to celebrate 2 kids going off to college. We loved the appetizers- cheese/meat plate, meatball, calamari, and arancini. Every entree was tasty and great portion size. Service was excellent. While the place is in and underwhelming plaza- the decor and set up inside makes up for with a super cozy feel. read more

Was there about 2 weeks ago and I have been to Sienna in Smithfield many times before but this was by far the worst dinning experience I've had at any restaurant. I ordered the Potato Encrusted cod and for $30 got cod bits and pieces over god knows what topped with so many greens I had to move them a side to see where the cod was. I bit into what cod was there and it was terrible and salty. There wasn't 3 ounces of fish on the plate. There were a couple of shaved brussels sprouts and the smattering of the cauliflower puree. To be honest it looked like the plate had fallen then they recovered what they could and tried to hide it with more greens. Just a flat out zero star rating. My wife got the shrimp over risotto which was tasty but undercooked. The only reason I gave one star was because the other couple and my wife were some what satisfied. The waitress seemed annoyed but did try to be attentive. I should have sent the meal back but knew if I did, I would have been eating alone because everyone else had their meals. I left the restaurant hungry and will not return. read more

Small portions! Was hungry when we left ! Been to the East Greenwich location which was a much better experience!! Service could have been better! read more

Making a reservation was key to dining here on the weekend, Great to have ample parking. Our table was ready about 5 min after we arrived. The service was good but it seemed like our server was a bit in a rush. I wish they would print the specials so we could have some time to digest the descriptions and make a decision. My husband had the bolognese, not much of a tomato element if that is what you are accustomed to, but very good.  I would say the portion was sufficient. I had the potato crusted cod.  The flavors and sauce were excellent but there was nothing potato about it.  It must have been dusted with ground potato flakes for a slight browning, I was expecting actual potato to make it "crusted" after my inquiry with the server.  The description said it came on a bed of shaved brussels sprouts, that too was almost non existent, I was hoping for a bit of vegetables with my fish. Again, my portion was sufficient, I could have enjoyed a few more bites, and I'm not a big eater.  Lavender lemon drop was excellent. Overall I would revisit, but maybe not on a busy Saturday night. read more

BEAUTIFUL restaurant. Had the pollo saltimbacco, a lemon drop martini and a pinto grigio. My partner had the special filet and a cappaciuno espresso for dessert. All was packed with flavor, and was brought out in a timely manner. The waitstaff was more than attentive, the manager even came by to check in after we got our meals. Very professional and an overall amazing dining experience. read more

I miss the fed hill location. This one didn't live up to fed hill. I had the Ck w/blanco risotto which was good but the portion wasn't as I recall. Small portion for cost. There is ample parking tho. Calamari was just ok, didn't have flavor. Decor looked like you're in a conservative, middle aged lawyer's office. Waitress was great tho. Service amazing. read more

Loved the place / from the ambient music, to the outstanding service of the hostess and the excellent customer experience created by Mimi! Had business dinner here tonight, and we stayed with the Lucca tasting board (Sopressata, Pecorino Toscano and Cerignola Olives), which was a good price for $14. Plus a portion of calamari fritti for $13. For my main course I indulged into a delicious Pollo alla Milanese ($19) - Two (2) thin breaded chicken cutlets topped with lemon dressed baby arugula & tomato salad & shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. And I asked for a side of risotto. I enjoyed my fav Sauvignon Blanc, and for desert, a exquisite Tiramisu at only $8.50 Mimi was absolutely a pleasure to experience as a waitress - amicable, smiling all the time, knowledgeable and prompt. Would come here again! Lovely place read more

Party of 4 on a Friday night. Our sever was Sam and she was very good. All food...filet mignon, gnocchi, and short ribs...and drinks were good, with one exception. I got the pan seared scallops with risotto. It was delicious, but for $35, I got the five smallest scallops I've ever seen. Usually sea scallops are about the size of half dollar coin in width. Not one of these was even the size of a quarter. It tasted great, but not nearly worth the price. Maybe it was a small batch. If you're going to order them, I'd ask to see them first. read more
