RUSTIC ITALIAN IN WEST LOOP’S RESTAURANT ROW

Bar Siena, the two-story, 8,000-square-foot restaurant is located in the heart of ‘Restaurant Row’ in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood. Overseen by Dineamic Hospitality partners and Top Chef Fabio Viviani, the menu is inspired by expansive Italian street food such as antipasti, pizza and calzones. Similar to sister venue, River North’s Siena Tavern, all dishes are made in-house, from-scratch; however, at Bar Siena they are served cicchetti-style –brought to the table to enjoy as they are prepared and intended to be shared. A lively bar occupies the ground level while a vibrant dining room is located on the second floor, both connected by an arresting illuminated sculpture inspired by Siena Tavern's olive tree icon. Open 7 days a week, Bar Siena offers a full, lunch, dinner, late night, and weekend brunch menus, in addition to a skilled team dedicated to catering & private events. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, powered by BomboBar, their bustling walk-up window on Green Street.

You're In Good Hands

When Dineamic Hospitality owners Lucas Stoioff and David Rekhson first created Siena Tavern, much of their inspiration came from a quaint, casual and energetic bar and restaurant called La Taverna in Siena, Italy. The inspiration led to a more polished and expansive version suited for River North; however, Stoioff and Rekhson still longed for an Italian bar and eatery more along the lines of their original inspiration in terms of size and energy. 3 years later, Bar Siena was born. Bar Siena’s menu is slightly smaller than Siena Tavern’s and rotates more frequently, paying homage to various regions of Italy. The red mosaic tile pizza oven bearing the name “Bella,” was handmade and imported from Italy, and reaches temperatures of over 600 degrees. Bar Siena’s dining options are ideal for share-everything, try-everything guests looking for a remarkable experience.

EXECUTIVE CHEF FABIO VIVIANI

Chef Fabio Viviani has possessed a passion for food since his childhood growing up in Florence, Italy. Although a well-respected businessman in Italy, he was ready for a change and in 2013, teamed up with one of Chicago’s most innovative restaurant groups, DineAmic Group. Starting with Siena Tavern, Dineamic Hospitality owners and Viviani knew they had just begun both a successful business partnership and lifelong friendship. In 2015, Chef Viviani continued to partner with the Dineamic Hospitality brand by opening Bar Siena and Prime & Provisions alongside the team. Perhaps best known for his television debut on Bravo’s hit reality series Top Chef – earning the “Fan Favorite” title – his on-screen appearances have propelled him to become one of the fastest growing household names in the country. Fabio lives in Chicago and can frequently be seen at Dineamic Hospitality venues.
