What's New

A breakdown of what is going on every night at Siena — from the $26 Monday pasta dinner and $45 three-course to Wine Lovers Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, and the rotating weekly chef specials.

Every Wednesday at Siena, every bottle on our wine list is 25% off. All evening. Every table — no hoops. No catch. Wine Lovers Wednesday exists because good wine is better when it's approachable. A quarter off changes the conversation around a bottle you've been curious about but haven't ordered yet. A Sagrantino from Umbria. A Super Tuscan that is worth every penny even before the discount. Whatever your server has been waiting for an excuse to recommend. The Details When: E

Austin loves a good piece of meat. Wood-fired steaks, brisket, smoked ribs — the city has deep roots in that tradition. But there's another way to approach a quality cut, one that's been practiced in Tuscany for centuries and shows up on far fewer menus here: the costata di maiale, the Italian pork chop. What Makes an Italian Pork Chop Different The word costata refers to a bone-in chop cut from the rib section — a thick, well-marbled cut that can hold up to high heat without

There's a reason Italian restaurants have become the default answer when someone asks where to go for a romantic dinner in Austin. Some of it is atmosphere, some of it is the food, and some of it is the way Italian cooking has always been oriented around the table as a place where people slow down. Here's what actually makes a difference when you're planning the evening. What Makes Italian Restaurants Work for Date Night The structure of an Italian meal works in your favor on

If you've spent time in Tuscany, you know cinghiale. Wild boar is woven into the fabric of the region — in the hill towns, the butcher shops, the trattorias that have been feeding the same families for generations. In Austin, it's a rarer find. Siena Ristorante Toscana has had cinghiale on the menu since the early days, and it remains one of the dishes people come back for, often after a long time away. What Is Cinghiale? Cinghiale is the Italian word for wild boar. The meat

Westlake diners don't always have to go far to eat well. But the restaurants worth making a habit of — the ones that earn a regular spot in the rotation rather than just filling a Tuesday night — require a little more intention. Siena Ristorante Toscana is a short drive from Westlake across Loop 360, and it's been that kind of restaurant for the area since 2000. Why Westlake Diners Come Back The short answer is the food. The longer answer involves the room, the wine, and the

Calamari gets ordered at Italian restaurants all over Austin, but the quality varies a lot depending on where you go and how they prepare it. It's one of those dishes that's easy to do adequately and genuinely difficult to do well. Here's what separates the good versions from the forgettable ones — and what else to consider when you're deciding how to start the meal. What Makes Good Calamari Fritti Calamari Fritti — flash-fried squid — is one of the most traditional Italian a

Truffle has a way of dividing opinion. Used well, it's one of the most compelling flavors in Italian cooking — earthy, almost fungal, with a richness that sits on the palate long after the bite is gone. Used poorly, it becomes a marketing word attached to a dish that mostly tastes like truffle-scented oil and not much else. The difference lies in how the kitchen uses it and what it's paired with. At Siena Ristorante Toscana, the Fettuccine ai Funghi is the answer to what truf

A seasonal menu at an Italian restaurant is easy to mention and difficult to do well. The phrase has been used so often as a marketing signal that it's started to lose meaning. But the underlying idea is still sound — and when a kitchen actually commits to it, the difference shows up on the plate. Here's what a genuine seasonal Italian menu looks like, and why it matters if you're deciding where to eat in Austin. What a Seasonal Menu Actually Means in Italian Cooking Italian

Pennybacker Bridge is one of those Austin landmarks that gets under people's skin. The arc of it over Lake Austin, the hill country dropping away on either side — it's the kind of view that makes you want to make an evening of it rather than just pass through. Siena Ristorante Toscana sits less than a mile from the bridge, at the corner of RM 2222 and Loop 360, and has been the right answer to "where should we go after that drive" for a long time. The Bridge Sets the Mood. Si
