Siena was recently included in a round-up of the best Italian restaurants in Austin by the editors of Do512, the number-one resource for events and listings in the “Live Music Capital of the World” (it’s a great website, btw).

At Siena, we take great pride in the fact that the Siena experience isn’t just about Chef Harvey’s excellent Italian and Tuscan cuisine. It’s about the overall experience. While dining with us, we want you to forget your troubles and feel like you’ve been transported to magical Tuscany, Italy.

Here’s what the editors of Do512 had to say about our restaruant:

Nestled in the hills of west Austin stands a beautiful Tuscan villa, its thick stone walls and weathered terra cotta roof glowing in the golden rays of the setting sun. Inside people laugh and drink great wine while the aroma of fresh baked breads, garlic and wood smoke fills the room… Welcome to Siena, a restaurant that takes its name from the picturesque town located in the heart of Italy’s Tuscan region.

The cuisine of this particular region with its emphasis on grilled seafood, wild game and roasted potatoes, is close to the heart of many Texans. Not only does Siena capture the true flavors of the Tuscan hill country, but also the atmosphere.
