    I ordered a Margherita - mozzarella, tomato, fresh basil & Mini Tavern Burger - truffle aioli, balsamic caramelized onions, arugula, fontina. Pizza was decent! I loved the sun dried tomato and tomato sauce. Pizza was all floppy in the center but crispy at the outer crust. I appreciate there's a basil leaf on each slice which is more than I can say for other restaurants. Tavern burger has potential - I like the other ingredients but the most important part, the beef was dry and low quality. Service was slow AND the restaurant was mostly empty too. Really bad that we waited 20+ minutes for two more sliders and a takeout box.

    Kale Caesar Salad

    Tasty. Especially the focaccia that's heavenly. While we opted for a few apps, shared salads, and drinks, I'm just sharing the highlights. Friendly service and very attentive at that. Perhaps a little slow, but that provides a lot of time for conversation. Cozy dim lit ambiance, but almost too cozy when close to bed time! House Focaccia w/ Spread Trio - for only 5 cuts of focaccia, the spread trio is a lot. I'll suggest ordering more focaccia because it's delicious. An alternative is to only get one spread (they're all really good), but I still recommend more focaccia! Light, fluffy, and airy, this was a pillow with a light coat of oil and topped with sea salt. Pockets in the bread gave surface area for the spread to relax before hugging taste buds. Squid Ink Linguine - al dente linguine, firm enough on impact yet slightly tender inside. Picked up the lobster cream sauce well and the sauce was delicious. Rich and thickened with some cheesiness, there was more than enough to go around for the pasta. On the side, a lobster tail was prepared well with the meat mostly out. Simple to eat while maintaining a wonderful and complete appearance. While I always love and prefer more protein, this was such a high quality and flavorful item.

    Dinner at Sienna Tavern was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The Sienna Chopped Salad was bursting with so many delicious flavors in every single bite. The squid ink lobster linguine was absolutely divine! I normally am not a fan of lobster but this was so amazing. I ended with peach sorbet that was the perfect palate cleanser. Service was amazing (Shout out to Jasmine!) and so was the ambiance. 10/10 would definitely come back and order it all over again!

    Salad was very good

    We ate here a couple of weeks ago while visiting during Spring Break. The hostess was ok, but a little confusing when she asked how many and we said "2", she said "There is an hour and a half limit"...we didn't quite understand that and asked if that was a wait to get a table and she explained we couldn't be there more than that time...ok. I also find it odd when places only offer the Happy Hour deals in the bar. Prices are high, especially the drinks. The food was delicious though. I had their chopped salad and bolognese. The bread appetizer with spread was amazing!

    First time visiting. We happen to walk by this place after checking in to our hotel. So glad we stopped the food was delicious. We enjoyed the 2 Course Lunch Menu. Also enjoyed a few cocktails. A NO. 8, a Cadillac Margarita, and an Espresso Martini. All very well made. Would definitely go back for more. The host was very nice and sat us promptly. Our server was great. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. Thank you, Brittany D. I love the decor and fun vibe. The restaurant is very spacious with plenty of sitting at the bar area and dining room.

    We found this on the whim and definitely glad we came here. Food was amazing, as you can see, we started eating before I could get a pic of the food. We got a the burnt pepperoni pizza, French 75, my SIL got the seafood spaghetti and the number 2 on the alcohol menu! Pricing wasn't too bad. Except there is a random tax of 3.95%. Service was good at the bar. When we came in, we didn't get greeted and waited a while for someone to help us before we went to sit at the bar. After that good service. Good vibes, good food & good service.

    Siena Tavern is a pretty good option for brunch or dinner in River North. This is not the place to go if you are in a rush. The wait staff tend to take awhile to notice you and attend to you, so if you're in a time crunch just know there will be longer waiting periods. This place is usually busy during happy hours and can be quite loud then. If you want to come at a quiet time, I recommend their burrata, pizzas, their Parmesan fries (which are to die for) and Brussels sprouts. They have a pretty good array of happy hour cocktails as well. If you're look for a good sharing meal, I recommend the package dinner with family burrata, a truffle or margarita pizza, and the vodka sauce pasta.

    Margherita
    Hubaab M.

    Was in the area and a couple buddies suggested this place when I asked them where to get a solid pie. Called for pickup, ordered a margherita and grilled octopus. Margherita had sun dried tomatoes which I usually dont like but they were sweet(drizzled with honey possibly?). 8/10. Crispy crust and bottom, great pie i cannot lie. Octopus came with veggies and sauce, 9/10. Would upgrade to 10/10 if there was less sauce. Still VERY good. Bill came out to 55 bucks which is up there, but considering the location it was expected. Receptionist/hostess when I walked in was also very nice. Highly recommend.

    I absolutely loved my experience here, the hostess, waitress and busboy were all so friendly and inviting. The food was delicious and so filling. After the meatball as an appetizer, it was hard to finish my Bolognese. Thankfully, they have to go boxes which we took advantage bc we packed everything to the desert. So much food!! The ambiance was fancy, lots of Christmas spirit and packed with good times. I saw lots of families and dates, everyone looked happy. The drinks were SO GOOD! I forgot which # I got but it had peach and lemon.

    A group of us went here for our monthly dinner club during restaurant week and we had a great experience. Everyone loved their dishes and we thought the service was good. My pasta main was 10/10 and I am still dreaming about the tiramisu. Would love to go back & highly would recommend for a date night spot.

    Mint mocktail

    Big space inside with high table and regular seating. Make reservation on weekends and Fri evening. Also allows dog inside which is great for winter time. Service was little slow but she was helpful in making decisions. Old fashion- 3/5 Dirty martini no 3 - 4/5 Mint mocktail - 4/5 Cacio e pepe - 4.5/5 - great taste - not too cheesy Truffle pizza - 5/5 Pistachio Gelato - 4.5 Would love to see more vegetarian options

    Split gnocchi and Brick Chicken Diavolo
    Marissa P.

    so good! We came here and decided to book our rehearsal dinner The gnocchi and chicken were the best, the pic I posted is only half portion because the split for us which was really nice! Lavender bramble was a bit too sweet for me but still fun to try

    Avey S.

    This place really hit the spot. I ordered pizza with mushrooms, and chicken and potatoes and both were so delicious and complimented each other well. This was definitely one of my favorite meals when visiting Chicago. The service was great and we sat outside which was nice during the sunset evening.

    Is the patio still dog friendly?

    Yes! They have a dog menu, "puppy ciao". A very dog friendly patio

    How far in advance can you make a reservation?

    I'm not sure. I just walked in when I went. I would recommend that you check their website or even call in advance to make sure you and your party get seating. I hope this helps

    Do they only serve a brunch menu on Saturday or do they offer their regular week day lunch menu as well?

    They also serve regular day lunch menu.

    Is their outdoor patio still open and are dog still allowed?

    Yes on 5/2, we sat outside with a heater(one at every table) and the patio was partially and it was perfect!

    What are their lunch vs dinner hours on weekends?

    Hi Teresa, Lunch (and brunch) is 11-3. They close at 11 and kitchen closes at 10.

    Is there outdoor seating?

    Yes they do offer outdoor seating. It is currently heated which is nice.

    Do they offer valet parking?

    Yes, they do.

    Anyone know if it’s possible to redeem coins earned at another place here via Say2b?

    Daniel, I do not know the answer. Sorry.… Read more

Up until tonight, my experiences had always been positive and the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, this visit was more than disappointing. I ordered a salad I've had at least a dozen times before, accept I added grilled chicken on top. I live for this salad and was just there maybe three weeks ago. Unaware that they have changed their menu, I ordered as usual. The name of the salad has not changed on the menu, but apparently the ingredients had been completely altered. When the dish arrived, to my surprise, it was drastically different and not something I enjoyed at all. I politely informed our server, who was kind and accommodating, and offered to replace the dish. However, it was now 6 p.m. we had tickets to see The Wiz at 7 p.m. and didn't have time to wait for another order, which I also informed her. I asked if the salad could be removed from the bill since it was essentially untouched. The server checked with the owner, who refused to remove the $30 salad or offer any kind of discount. When a restaurant changes a dish but keeps the same name, it creates a reasonable expectation for returning customers. When that expectation isn't met, basic customer service should step in. What makes this even more frustrating is that the restaurant was willing to prepare an entirely new dish, but not willing to remove the uneaten one from the bill. That simply isn't logical. If you're prepared to replace an item, it clearly acknowledges there was an issue, so refusing to comp or adjust the original charge is unreasonable. That decision was extremely disappointing. I, in-turn made the decision to eat only the additional grilled chicken on top, leaving the rest of the salad, paying the full bill and promptly getting out of there so we could be on time for our show. The only positive part of the experience was our server, who handled the situation with professionalism and kindness. Sadly, the new menu leaves much to be desired and this experience has cost Peanut Park my business and my referrals going forward.

Reservations are released 21 days ahead of time, which I personally find impossible to make. Every time I've checked over the last several years there have been no availability. Yesterday I decided to pop on their website again and was delighted to find that they had released same day dinner reservations for patio only dining. The weather was perfect for outdoor dining so I went ahead and booked a table for Friday night. I felt like I won the dinner lottery. Service was wonderful and I didn't mind sitting outside at all next to the road with cars. I actually never stepped foot in the restaurant so cannot comment on what it's like inside. But do not give up that patio dining reservation if it's available. All of our dishes were delicious. I was really impressed by the meatball appetizers, chicken vesuvio (the potatoes are a must get as a side if you skip this dish), and branzino. The meats and sauces were wonderfully balanced and tender. Nothing tasted overly salted. Ironically, the pasta felt less of a star compared to the other dishes. And of course I had to get the gelato, which was so aesthetically presented and the taste just reminded me of an Italian summer vacation.

    Alla Vita: A Masterclass in West Loop Elegance…read more If you are looking for a spot that perfectly balances "industrial chic" with "grandma's Sunday kitchen," **Alla Vita** is hitting all the right notes. Located at 564 W Randolph, it's a sprawling, airy space that manages to feel intimate despite its scale. Here is the breakdown of the heavy hitters from the menu: **The Truffle Mushroom Pizza** This isn't your standard wood-fired pie. The crust strikes that elusive balance between a pillowy interior and a crisp, charred exterior. The earthiness of the mushrooms is front and center, but it's the truffle that ties it together without being overpowering. It's rich, aromatic, and deeply savory--the kind of pizza that makes you forget about pepperoni entirely. **The Ricotta Dumplings** These are, quite frankly, little clouds of heaven. While many places struggle with leaden gnocchi, Alla Vita's ricotta dumplings are impossibly light. They have a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture that acts as a perfect canvas for the sauce. Every bite feels indulgent yet airy; it is easily the "must-order" dish of the night. **The Tiramisu** To close out the meal, the Tiramisu is a sophisticated take on the classic. It isn't overly sweetened, allowing the bold espresso and creamy mascarpone to shine. It's structured but soft, providing a caffeinated, velvety finale that cleanses the palate without weighing you down. **The Verdict:** Alla Vita is more than just a "pretty" restaurant. The service is snappy, the atmosphere is electric, and the food--specifically the pasta program--is top-tier. Whether you're there for a celebratory dinner or a high-energy weeknight meal, it's a West Loop essential. **Pro Tip:** The restaurant fills up fast, so snag a reservation well in advance, especially if you're eyeing a weekend table.

We then moved on to pasta, tortellini with peas and prosciutto, white clam linguine and tagliatelle bolognese, each one better than the next. The perfectly cooked pasta with tons of garlic and fresh herbs, meats and cheese were incredible. When we thought we couldn't eat anything else we were offered dessert. The warm hot chocolate cake with vanilla gelato was rich and delicious and the caramel bananas with biscotti and vanilla gelato were decadent and delicious! A truly great dining experience, totally worth the close quarters.
