Siena Tavern

Food + DrinkRiver North · Italian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 51 W Kinzie St, Chicago, IL 60654

Top Chef fan-favorite Fabio Viviani co-founded Siena Tavern in 2013 with DineAmic's Luke Stoioff and David Rekhson, the idea born on a trip back to Fabio's native Italy, where the three ate at a bar called La Taverna in the actual city of Siena and decided River North needed its own version.

$$

It runs as a genuinely all-day spot rather than a dinner-only destination, with made-from-scratch Italian food that leans more sophisticated than the red-sauce-and-checkered-tablecloth version of the genre.

The real pull for a weekday regular is happy hour, 3-6pm, which knocks the pasta menu down to half price and pours wine by the glass alongside it — a genuinely generous discount for a River North spot this polished, not a token one-drink-off gesture.
