This is hands down one of Austin’s prettiest restaurants; it’s as though you’ve stepped out of a dream into a Tuscan villa. Indeed, the excellent menu is inspired by chef Harvey Harris’ culinary education in Tuscany. Siena’s servers are well-trained and cordial. The wine list here is brilliant, though some bottles are sufficiently obscure that you should ask if the wine buyer is in the house. A great place to impress a date. – Wes Marshall
