The pastas were very well made, the waiters were attentive, and the atmosphere was quiet enough to hold conversations but not dead. This is very nice establishment in New Haven.

I brought a friend here to celebrate her birthday, and we had an amazing experience from start to finish! I had to make a last-minute change to our reservation, and we also arrived a little late due to parking, but the staff was incredibly understanding and flexible. The food was outstanding! I’ve been to the Norwalk location, and this restaurant absolutely matches that same level of excellence. We ordered a bottle of Nebbiolo, the beet salad and meatballs, and we all enjoyed the mushroom and truffle tagliatelle. Everything was delicious. A special shout-out to Michael and Natalia, who provided excellent service throughout the evening. Their recommendations were spot-on, and we were so glad we took their advice. They made our birthday celebration feel especially welcoming and enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

We gave a credit card to secure our reservation. I dropped my wife off (and parked), and she checked in 9 minutes late to that reserved time. Walking back to the restaurant from my car, I received a text, “We should go to a different restaurant.” We didn’t, but I found her sitting at a table 4 feet from a door to the kitchen, not happy. She had been told by the ‘host’ that since we were late he had given our table away. There were at least two open four-top tables when I arrived, and twenty minutes later the place had largely emptied. Food was good. Host was terrible. Waiters were nice, but very, very junior.

This place surprised us. We didn’t realize it was in a hotel until we arrived and were a little disappointed, but the food was surprisingly on-point and the service was excellent. We had such a lovely dinner and walked away happy we had eaten there.

Conveniently located near the Chapel Street parking garage and open lot (2-5 minute walk) in the Blake Hotel, Siena is a relatively new Italian restaurant. Our party of three ordered different appetizers and entrees and all enjoyed the tasty food and desert. The Bolognese, Salmon and beet salad were particularly noteworthy. Our server, Alejandro was knowledgeable, attentive and personable. We all agree that we would eat there again.
