“I'm a true foodie who cooks at home so when I go out for dinner I select the restaurants carefully Based upon quality of food. This is my first review of a restaurant because it deserves my opinion. Last night at Sienas ( not my first time there) but the service and experience is worthy of commenting. Last night my husband and I dined and had the most delicious dinner. I ordered the special ( home made pasta with broccoli rabe and crumbled sausage. My husband had the tagliatelle with truffle with mushrooms in a cream sauce. The food was just top notch. The pasta was so fresh and would compare to any Top notch nyc Italian restaurant in my opinion. The pear walnut salad was also delicious and freshly prepared with high quality. The owners sent us lemoncello and fresh mango sorbet and of course they always give their guests homemade thinly sliced Biscotti's on the house. That was an unexpected and generous for a restaurant to provide on the house. This is what more restaurants should do from time to time to have repeat customers. We appreciated the hospitality. I must also comment that I love espresso martinis and find it rare to have one that you would remember. That was the best one I have had in a very long time. Delicious.. I look forward to dining back again and again.. Enjoy this fine little gem Siennas“

“Love having Natalie back behind the bar! And Chef Ming is an artist. Seriously blew us away with his skills on the most basic dish - his classic cheese pizza. It’s almost what you would classify as classic Neopolitan, but with hardly any flop. He clearly chooses the best ingredients as well. Such an amazing surprise Can’t wait to go back with the family.“

Also ordered the hangar steak chimmichurra and it’s delish! ! The salad that comes with it was fresh and had strawberries and blueberries! So good.

My friends and I cycle all over Stamford, New Canaan, Pound Ridge, Darien, and more …and about half the time they insist that we stop at “mother‘s” (as they call it) before we head to our respective homes. We always get rolls with egg, cheese, broccoli rabe, and bacon …and pancakes …and coffee and it’s definitely heaven.

Thanks for the warm welcome and fresh coffee every time!“
