Available July 16–18 only

The wood grill isn’t the star this week — the stove is. Chef David leaned into the clams and the crab-topped snapper for this run.

Baby Iceberg Salad (Insalata) — crispy pancetta, gorgonzola dressing, pickled shallots, diced tomatoes. A cold, sharp start before the warmer dishes.

Clam Linguine (Linguine alle Vongole) — fresh Manila clams, homemade linguine, garlic, lemon juice, pepperoncino, buttered breadcrumbs. Simple ingredients, but the timing on the clams is what makes it work.

Texas Gulf Red Snapper (Dentice) — wild-caught, crab and shrimp topping, sautéed green beans and shallots. One of the more composed plates you’ll find on a Tuscan cuisine in Austin menu this time of year.

Cherry Amaretto Gelato — homemade, with chocolate chunks and a waffle cookie.

Pro tip: The Vermentino pairs well with the clam linguine — it’s a lighter white with enough acid to stand up to the garlic and lemon in the sauce.

Every week has its own lineup, and it’s worth knowing what lands on which night.

Mondays: $26 Dinner for 26 Years — a two-course Roman pasta menu, your choice of Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara, Amatriciana, or Pasta alla Gricia, all evening.

Tuesdays: $5 house wines and $10 premium wines at the bar, patio, and cocktail tables, 4:30–6:30 PM, plus Chef David’s 3-Course Dinner for $45 across the whole restaurant, all evening.

Wednesdays: Wine Lovers Wednesday — 25% off every bottle on the list, all evening, restaurant-wide. Chef David’s 3-Course Dinner carries through too.

Thursdays: Thirsty Thursday — $10 on our signature cocktails, all evening, no section restrictions.

Thursday through Saturday: Chef David’s rotating specials, chef gets creative and builds around whatever’s freshest that day.

Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday, 4:30–6:30 PM, at the bar, patio, and cocktail tables.

Tuscan cuisine in Austin doesn’t need a special occasion to feel worth the trip — most nights here have a reason built in.

Chef David’s specials this week lean into our wood grill and pasta.

Wood-Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops (Costoletta di Agnello) — chickpea basil puree, salsa verde.

Short Rib Tagliatelle (Tagliatelle alla Pizzaiola) — tomato braised boneless short ribs, Castelvetrano olives, capers, fresh oregano.

Kodiak Island Halibut — herb crusted, summer succotash, smoked bacon, lemon butter sauce.

Wood-Grilled NY Strip (Bistecca di Manzo) — mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus.

This is Tuscan cuisine in Austin the way it’s meant to be done — simple ingredients, done right on the wood grill.

Pro tip: The lamb chops pair well with a glass of Chianti Classico.

Available Thursday, July 9 through Saturday, July 11.

Chef David's got four dishes running through the weekend, and there's a good mix of wood grill and pasta on the list.

Wood-Grilled New Zealand Lamb Chops (Costoletta di Agnello) — chickpea basil puree, salsa verde.

Short Rib Tagliatelle (Tagliatelle alla Pizzaiola) — tomato braised boneless short ribs, Castelvetrano olives, capers, fresh oregano.

Kodiak Island Halibut — herb crusted, summer succotash, smoked bacon, lemon butter sauce.

Wood-Grilled NY Strip (Bistecca di Manzo) — mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus.

It's the kind of lineup that doesn't come around often at Italian restaurants in Austin — worth building a night around.

Pro tip: If you're splitting secondi at the table, the tagliatelle and the halibut hold up well side by side.

Mondays, you choose one of our four Roman pastas and two first-course options. Swipe through and see them all. —>

Pasta alla Gricia — guanciale, Pecorino Romano, black pepper. No tomato, no cream. Just cured pork fat, aged cheese, and the pasta water doing the work

Amatriciana — guanciale, San Marzano tomato, Pecorino Romano, black pepper. The tomato version of Gricia, basically. Simple, a little spicy, built for someone who wants a proper bowl of pasta.

Carbonara — guanciale, egg yolk, Pecorino Romano, black pepper. No cream — ever. This is the real thing. Rich, silky, and exactly what it’s supposed to be.

These pastas are only available Mondays - they’re not on our regular menu.

Cacio e Pepe — Pecorino Romano, black pepper, pasta water. Three ingredients. Harder to make than it looks. When it’s right, it’s the best pasta on the table.

This is Italian cooking in Austin at its most straightforward — and it earns it.

Every $26 Monday dinner starts here — Caesar salad or soup of the day, then your choice of pasta.

Mondays, 4:30–8:30 PM.

Three courses, $45, dining room or bar — Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Start with the hummus: fresh basil, grilled homemade flatbread, good olive oil. Then burrata with fresh tomatoes, balsamic glaze, red onion, and basil pesto, with croutons built in so nothing gets left on the plate. Finish with an 8oz wood-grilled New York strip, grilled asparagus, and Calabrian chili butter — the kind of finish you don't always get at Italian restaurants in Austin for $45.

Pro tip: Go Wednesday and stack it with Wine Lovers Wednesday — 25% off bottles pairs well with the strip.

This weekend's chef specials, straight from the kitchen:

Starters — Tortellini Fritti, flash-fried stuffed pasta with a three cheese and meat sauce, finished with a spicy olio santo. Or the Insalata con Pere: arugula, goat cheese, red wine poached pear, roasted walnuts.

Entrees — Pollo Margherita: fresh linguine, grilled chicken breast, pesto cream sauce, buffalo mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, basil. Or the Petto di Pollo ai Funghi (Mushroom Chicken Breast): wood grilled chicken, lemon butter sauce, smoked provolone, portobello mushrooms, San Danielle prosciutto, sauteed green beans.

Pro tip: the Tortellini Fritti pairs really well with a glass of Chianti to start the meal off right.

Tuscan cooking doesn't get more comforting than this. See you at the bar for Thirsty Thursdays too — $10 signature cocktails all night.

$10 signature cocktails, every Thursday, all evening — the same lineup that’s been built around Italian liqueurs and bitters, not a discount on a watered-down well drink.

If you always order the same one, Thursdays are a good excuse to work down the list. Ask Chad or whoever’s behind the bar which signature cocktail they’d point you toward — most regulars have a top three, rarely just one.

Pro tip: The bar and patio fill up first on Thursdays, so if you want to sit there specifically, plan to arrive earlier rather than later.

Smoked pancetta-wrapped Gulf shrimp, coconut pineapple rice, Calabrian chili BBQ sauce. Sweet heat done right.

Sundried Tomato Pasta (Pasta con Pomodori Secchi)
Fresh linguine, sundried tomato pesto, grilled chicken. Straightforward and satisfying.

Five minutes from Mopac. Free parking at the door.

While you’re circling the block downtown for the third time, you could already be at Siena.

Stan Adams built this place from scratch in 2000 — stone walls, wooden beams, a wood-burning grill, the works. It doesn’t look like anything else in Austin because nothing else in Austin was built like this. And for 26 years, people have been making the drive out here and wondering why they waited so long.

No parking garage. No meter. No walking six blocks in August. Just pull in and walk through the door.

Available June 18–20 only.

Start with the Insalata — fresh mixed greens, pancetta onion vinaigrette, goat cheese. Simple, but that pancetta vinaigrette is doing real work.

Then the Linguine con Pesto al Limone (Homemade Linguine, Fresh Lemon Pesto, Basil Breadcrumbs) — clean and bright, lemon pesto is not something you see often and Chef David pulls it off.

The Osso Bucco is red wine braised beef shank over Parmesan polenta — slow-cooked, deeply savory, the real thing.

And the Lamb Rack (Costine di Agnello) — wood oven roasted with eggplant caponata and lamb demi. If you know what to do with a good lamb rack, this is it.
