Bar Siena expands to Chicago's North Shore suburbs with their most recent location at Old Orchard Mall. Located next to Nordstrom, the new restaurant boasts an 8,500-square-foot interior along with two expansive patios. Much like its West Loop sister spot, Bar Siena North Shore combines the quaint charm of trattorias in Siena, Italy, with the industrial aesthetic of Chicagoland. The restaurant, in collaboration with Top Chef Fabio Viviani, brings the flavor, flare, and energy of casual Italian-American dining to the Midwest. Whether you're joining us for brunch, lunch, pizza, or pasta, Bar Siena North Shore is perfect for birthdays, groups, romantic dinners, or a casual date. Enjoy cocktails, happy hour, dessert, and Italian food in a vibrant atmosphere, whether you're celebrating with friends at the bar or indulging in a cozy dining experience.

We love Bar Siena, the food and service never disappoints. Last night we attended a special event with Chef Fabio Viviani where he cooked and taught about beloved Italian recipes. What a fun night! Looking forward to attending another of his cooking demos.
