    I have been wanting to go here for a long time. Had Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was amazing! From my cranberry cinnamon gimlet to the amazing truffle at the end. It was served family style and it did not disappoint. The turkey was juicy and the pork cooked just perfectly. The sweet potato gratin was my favorite. I have left overs to enjoy today. The service was friendly and warm. Everyone around us was enjoying themselves and the ambiance delightful. A stellar performance!

    Stefani's is my new favorite spot. This was my fourth visit since October 18th. We tried a few new items this time: the tuna crudo is amazing! The friend calamari is so light and fresh....the caper aioli is delicious! All our entrees were fantastic: chicken parmesan, short rib ravioli, ravioli pera (oh my gosh!!!), pasta aragosta, and my favorite: the seared tuna (extra rare is my favorite way). Our desserts were perfect to finish the meal: the cookie skillet was warm and gooey and delicious....the bread pudding was WOW! Mike was our server and there is no one better! We have been lucky enough to have him for each of our four visits. He is so attentive. He offers excellent suggestion when asked! He KNOWS the menu inside and out!

    This is my favorite Bar Siena location. It is ideally located in the mall, so there is a lot of parking. The entire restaurant is spacious and comfortable. The food and drinks are wonderful. Tracy, who is one of the managers, made our group of four feel very welcome.
