Bar Siena expands to Chicago's North Shore suburbs with their most recent location at Old Orchard Mall. Located next to Nordstrom, the new restaurant boasts an 8,500-square-foot interior along with two expansive patios. Much like its West Loop sister spot, Bar Siena North Shore combines the quaint charm of trattorias in Siena, Italy, with the industrial aesthetic of Chicagoland. The restaurant, in collaboration with Top Chef Fabio Viviani, brings the flavor, flare, and energy of casual Italian-American dining to the Midwest. Whether you're joining us for brunch, lunch, pizza, or pasta, Bar Siena North Shore is perfect for birthdays, groups, romantic dinners, or a casual date. Enjoy cocktails, happy hour, dessert, and Italian food in a vibrant atmosphere, whether you're celebrating with friends at the bar or indulging in a cozy dining experience.

Delightful service from Ines! Tasty martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives. Perfectly prepared and multi-layered flavors in the grilled octopus. Delicious gnocchi and pappardelle entrees. An area of opportunity in tightening up the operation was in the execution of the hostess desk. Wonderful to have Bar Siena and their Italian flavors conveniently available to us in the Northshore communities!

I thought it was expensive for what we had. And no bread served with my salad. I will not go back.
