Siena Ristorante Bar is a fine Kosher Italian restaurant that offers house-made pasta, pizzas, whole-grilled fish, and seasonal vegetable sides.  They have a very nice bar with some seats around it where you can eat your meal.

Overall the restaurant is on the smaller more intimate side with low lighting. One observation/PSA is that the tables are EXTREMELY close together. Have fun sliding in out and out of the back seat without knocking your neighbor's food over. Also, if you talk louder, everyone around you is with you in your conversation. 

It's next door to Mint (same owner) so if you don't have a reservation and it's full, you can walk next door. Siena is the nicer of the two.

You can make reservations on the website or call.

Comments on the food:

• the Italian Burrata is just a ball of cheese over roasted tomatoes, like a take on caprese. Eh, not worth writing home about

• Artichokes + Carrots in the small plate section was just julienned roasted vegetables, alternative to any other classic side like cauliflower

• Spinach-Ricotta Gnocchi is very good

• the Brownie Sundae came in a tall mason jar and while was very good, was hard to share

Hours:

• Mon - Thu: 4:30pm - 9:30pm

Very nice dairy restaurant with a bar. It's one of the better dairy restaurants in the NY area. The front of the restaurant by the bar has a rustic cozy vibe. It does get crowded on nights so type you will be sitting close to other tables. 

If you specifically want to sit in a quieter spot - ask if they have seating available in their back space. If it's not booked by a party, they put people there too.

Food recommendation - Order the Basil fries and ask them to bring it out right away while you wait for your food. The Basil fries are amazing

If you walk in w/o a reservation and there is no seating, Boeuf and Bun is across the street - same owner, also amazing food so you're not really missing out :)
