    We came late, following a performance at the nearby 92nd Street Y. Siena had accepted our reservation for 9:15 (they closed 10:00), and, although there were only one or two table occupied when we arrived, they seated us very graciously. We left well after 10:00 and were easily the last table, but we never felt rushed. The service was friendly, smiling, and prompt. The food is quite good -- pretty standard menu for neighborhood Italians these days, but prepared with a bit more care than is usual. The dining room is pleasant and inviting. Most significantly, the prices are extremely reasonable by current NYC standards, with special emphasis on the wine list -- quite a few very decent bottles for about $40, which is extraordinary, and the evening we were there they were offering 50% off of even those prices, so that we got a very decent bottle of Chianti Classico for, basically, the wineshop retail price. Highly recommended if you live in the neighborhood or are attending something at the 92nd Street Y.

    The food was really good. For starters we had the fried artichokes, the fried zucchini and an arugula salad. All delicious. Then we had the cacio e pepe, and the branzino. We will definitely be back!

    The service was BAD. The waitress hustled us to put our orders, then made us change tables because a large party was coming in, then at the end of our brunch asked us to leave only after 1-1.5 hours of being there. Overall the food wasn’t good enough and the service made this experience been worse. Disappointing to say the least

    Took a while to get seated. Definitely due to the Valentine's Day celebration. Once seated Chloe who doubled up as bartender and waitress was amazing. Checked in several times to ensure we were enjoying our night. We ordered a cocktail and got something slightly different. We let her know and she swapped it no questions asked. The food and ambiance was great.

    Great ambience. Nice fresh pasta, and tiramisu was fantastic. I think the service could be a little better but overall pretty good.
