Bar Siena Chicago

Bar Siena sits on Randolph Street, a fifteen-minute walk from the Willis Tower. It serves Italian contemporary food in a room that runs smart and elegant.

The restaurant is better suited for a loud, high-energy dinner than the more buttoned-up tables nearby. While the West Loop is thick with dining options, Bar Siena succeeds by embracing its scale; it manages to remain bustling while most other local kitchens are trying to cultivate an intimate, hushed vibe. You choose this for the noise and the pace rather than a quiet conversation.
