Siena Ristorante Toscana

Siena Ristorante Toscana Open since March 2000, Siena consistently provides Austin diners with an authentic Italian/Tuscan cuisine and an unmatched ambiance.
(791)

Designed and built by local restaurateur, Stan Adams with the help of designer Jeff Harris, the architecture of Siena is based on an ancient Italian farmhouse. Sitting in a valley off 2222 in the rolling hills of west Austin, the restaurant transports the diner to the rolling hills of Tuscany. The menu created by Chef Harvey Harris is a blend of traditional and contemporary Tuscan cuisine. After r

eceiving his Master Chef's degree in Piedmonte Italy, Chef Harvey travelled to Tuscany where he lived and worked in the town of San Gimignano. It was there he gathered the cooking techniques and recipes that are the cornerstone of Siena's cuisine.

Wednesday’s math is different.

Every bottle on our Wine Spectator award-winning list is 25% off, all evening. That includes the bottles you’ve been looking at for a while but haven’t ordered yet.

It’s one of the quieter nights to explore Tuscan wine in Austin — more time to chat with your server about wine, no rush.

Wine Lovers Wednesday. Every week, 4:30 PM until close.

Is it okay to use a spoon with pasta?

We asked Fabio. He says it’s “bad etiquette “. Just eat your pasta however you want, we’ll distract Fabio.

Chef David’s specials run Thursday through Saturday. This week:

Lemon Crab Pasta (Pasta al Limone e Granchio) — fresh linguine, lemon zest, butter, buttered breadcrumbs, jumbo lump crabmeat. $48

Cedar Plank Salmon (Salmone) — oven roasted with a Creole honey mustard glaze, green beans, mashed potatoes. $42

Bluenose Snapper (Dentice) — pan seared, steamed jasmine rice, shrimp, crabmeat, wild mushroom and artichoke cream sauce. $49

To start: the peach salad with goat cheese, toasted almonds, and peach balsamic vinaigrette is worth ordering. So is the broccoli soup with crispy guanciale and fregola pasta.

Pro tip: Thursday evenings move at a slower pace — a good night to settle in and let your server walk you through the menu before you decide.

Three new specials from Chef David tonight — available Thursday through Saturday.

The pasta is fresh linguine with jumbo lump crabmeat, lemon zest, butter, and buttered breadcrumbs. Simple building blocks, clean result.

Cedar plank oven-roasted Atlantic salmon with a Creole honey mustard glaze, green beans, and mashed potatoes. The cedar plank does most of the work — you get smoke without char.

Pan-seared bluenose snapper over steamed jasmine rice with shrimp, crabmeat, and a wild mushroom and artichoke cream sauce. A lot going on, but it holds together.

One of the more consistent spots for Italian food in Austin — Siena's been at it since 2000.

05/28/2026

People always ask what was here before this building.

Nothing. Stan built it.

In Tuscany, the architecture that looks oldest usually started as something simple — a barn, an outbuilding — and got added to over generations. That’s what Stan had in mind. Stone and wood beams and rooms that feel like they’ve been there a long time, because that’s what he set out to build.

Guests still walk in and ask if it was a church. Or a castle.

It wasn’t anything. It’s one of a kind in Austin.

Most restaurants in Austin lease a space. Stan
built this one from scratch — the same way we cook our food.

$26 Dinner for 26 Years in Austin

Carbonara done the Roman way — guanciale, egg, Pecorino, black pepper. No cream, no shortcuts. It’s one of four classic Roman pastas on the Pasta Monday menu, served all evening as a two-course dinner with a Caesar or soup to start.

One of the more straightforward ways to eat well at an Italian restaurant in Austin on a Monday night.

Pro tip: If you’re a pepper person, ask your server to go heavy on the black pepper finish — it sharpens the whole dish.

05/23/2026

May 21-23 only. This week’s chef specials cover a lot of ground — from a classic Italian summer pairing to a salmon dish that takes a few unexpected turns.

Starting with antipasti: the Prosciutto e Melone (Prosciutto and Melon) brings together sweet Texas cantaloupe and San Daniele prosciutto with a balsamic glaze, mint, and basil. It’s a combination that’s been on Italian tables all summer for centuries — the salt of the prosciutto against ripe melon is one of those things that just works. The Panzanella (Tuscan Bread Salad) is built around fresh burrata, tomatoes, homemade croutons, and a sherry vinaigrette. Panzanella is a Tuscan farmhouse staple — originally a way to use day-old bread — and this version leans into the richness of the burrata against the acidity of the dressing.

For the secondi: the Milanese di Maiale (Pork Chop Cutlet) is a bone-in chop seared in brown butter, finished with grilled lemon and an arugula salad. Milan’s take on the breaded cutlet is usually veal — this is the pork version, and the brown butter adds a nuttiness you don’t get with olive oil. The Salmone pairs sautéed shrimp and salmon with cream, asparagus, toasted hazelnuts, jasmine rice, and fresh raspberries. The raspberries aren’t a garnish — they cut through the cream and pull the whole plate together.

Pro tip: If you’re ordering the Panzanella, give it a few minutes before you dig in — the croutons absorb the vinaigrette as it sits and the texture gets better.

Tuscan cuisine in Austin since 2000. Available Thursday through Saturday.

05/21/2026

For starters: a Prosciutto e Melone with sweet Texas cantaloupe, San Daniele prosciutto, balsamic glaze, mint, and basil — and a Panzanella with fresh burrata, tomatoes, homemade croutons, and sherry vinaigrette.

For the main: a bone-in pork chop cutlet (Milanese di Maiale) seared in brown butter with grilled lemon and arugula, and a Salmone — sautéed shrimp and salmon with cream, asparagus, toasted hazelnuts, jasmine rice, and fresh raspberries.

$10 signature cocktails all night. Thirsty Thursday is a good reason to come in early.

Pro tip: The Salmone is a lighter plate — if you're thinking about a second glass of wine, a crisp white works well with both the shrimp and the salmon.

26 years at the same address. The Austin landscape around us has changed a lot — we haven’t changed much, and that’s intentional.
If you haven’t been in a while, or you’ve never been, it’s worth knowing there’s still a Tuscan Italian restaurant in Austin that’s been cooking this way since 2000.

Available May 15–17 only.
Four specials this week, and summer produce is doing the work — peaches, sweet corn, and lemon all showing up across the menu. The kind of Italian food in Austin you want when it’s warm outside.

Peach Burrata Salad (Burrata e Pèsca) — fresh burrata with sliced peaches, basil, extra virgin olive oil, cracked pepper, and baby heirloom tomatoes. A clean opener, especially when the fruit is actually good.

Garlic Shrimp (Gamberoni all’aglio) — jumbo shrimp with Calabrian chili, toasted garlic, white wine, and butter, served with grilled bread. The chili adds heat, the butter rounds it out. The bread matters here.

Pan-Seared Hawaiian Blue Snapper (Dentice) — the fish is Uku, a blue snapper from Hawaiian waters, pan-seared and plated over a sweet corn and crab risotto with lemon butter sauce. The risotto makes this feel more substantial than a typical fish plate.

Lemon Linguine (Linguine al Limone) — homemade linguine tossed with fresh lemon juice, butter, Parmesan, and basil. The pasta is made in-house, which is the whole point of a dish this simple.

Pro tip: The garlic shrimp comes with grilled bread — order it as a starter and use the bread to get through the pan sauce before your entrée arrives.

Chef David is running four specials this weekend — seafood is doing the heavy lifting this week, with a new pasta and a burrata salad alongside. Full details and photos post Friday.

Thursday evenings move at a slower pace than the weekend — a good night for Italian food in Austin if you're not in a hurry.

Pro tip: Thursday evenings tend to settle into an easier rhythm — a good night to let your server walk you through the specials and the menu.

May 7 - 9 Only. Chef David’s specials this week are heavy on the coast, with one pasta that earns its place on the table alongside them.
Frutti di Mare (Seafood Salad) — Lightly poached calamari, shrimp, mussels, and scallops with Castelvetrano and Kalamata olives, shallots, and fresh lemon juice. Bright and clean — built around the seafood, not buried under a sauce.

Insalata di Anguria (Watermelon Salad) — Sweet watermelon with a Calabrian chili honey vinaigrette, pistachios, mint, basil, and goat cheese. The heat from the Calabrian chili keeps it from reading as just a fruit salad.

Dentice alla Livornese (Redfish Livornese-Style) — Pan-seared Palacios Texas redfish over a lemon white wine risotto, finished with a spicy pomodoro and olive sauce. The alla Livornese preparation is a coastal Tuscan tradition from Livorno — tomatoes, olives, a little heat. The Texas redfish works well in it.

Orecchiette Pasta — Tossed with spicy Italian sausage and short rib ragù, broccoli, fresh buffalo mozzarella, and basil. Orecchiette with sausage and broccoli is a southern Italian classic — the short rib ragù is Chef David’s addition and it pulls the dish in a richer direction.

These are available Thursday through Saturday. If you’re looking for good Italian food in Austin this weekend, this is a solid reason to come in.

Pro tip: The Frutti di Mare is listed as an appetizer but it’s generous enough to share as a table starter before splitting into the pasta and the fish — a good way to work through more of the menu.

Chef David's weekly specials are on tonight. This week's menu leans toward the coast — a couple of seafood dishes, a pasta built for cooler weather palates on a warm evening, and a salad that reads more Italian than it might sound on paper.

Full details and photos post tomorrow. Tonight, come in and let the menu do the explaining.

There's also something worth knowing if you're coming in early: $10 signature cocktails run 4 tonight throughout the restaurant — a decent way to start before the specials hit the table.

Pro tip: Thursday evenings here tend to move at a slower pace than the weekend. If you want time to ask questions about the menu or talk through the wine list, tonight's a good night for it.

The rule is never order spaghetti on a first date?

Fabio ordered his date spaghetti on a first date. Taught her how to twirl it properly. He ended up putting a ring on her finger.

There’s an argument to be made that the best Italian food in Austin is actually a solid dating strategy. Fabio has the data.

Fabio is always right.

Pro tip: If you’re coming in for a first date, midweek is quieter than the weekend.

Fabio has been watching you twirl your pasta. He’s concerned.

In Tuscany, bolognese is serious business — slow-cooked, rich, and served the way it’s meant to be eaten: on handmade tagliatelle that actually holds the sauce. Fabio will demonstrate. You will take notes.

This is the kind of Italian food Austin deserves an explanation for.

Pro tip: The bolognese is on our regular menu — ask your server about the wine list if you want something to match it. A Tuscan red does the job.

Every Monday, $26 gets you a two-course dinner built around the classics that made Roman trattorias famous — Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara, Amatriciana, or Pasta alla Gricia. Each one made with fresh tagliatelle, guanciale, and Pecorino Romano. Start with a Caesar or the soup, then pick your pasta.

Pro tip: Pasta alla Gricia is the one people overlook — it’s the foundation the others were built on, just guanciale, Pecorino, and black pepper. Worth trying if you haven’t.

Available April 30 – May 1 only.

The venison is the one to know about this week. Pan-roasted Venison Strip Loin (Cervo Arrosto) with a red wine blackberry reduction, celeriac puree, and charred baby carrots. Venison prepared this way has real roots in Tuscan cooking — it’s not a novelty dish, it’s a regional tradition. You don’t see it often at Italian restaurants in Austin.

The Tuna Tartare (Tartare di Tonno) is yellowfin ahi, diced and dressed simply — olive oil, lemon, shallots, green onion, crostini for texture. It doesn’t try too hard and doesn’t need to.

The lasagna this week isn’t what you’re picturing. Smoked tomato, shredded chicken, mascarpone bechamel, provolone and parmesan — it reads more like a proper baked pasta than anything from a red-sauce playbook.

Pro tip: If you’re ordering the venison, ask your server about a bold red from the wine list — a Tuscan Sangiovese is the natural pairing and worth the conversation.

Italian food in Austin has no shortage of options on a Thursday. We'd just say ours is worth the drive to 360.
