Get Cozy at South Granville’s Siena Restaurant

Tucked just off the busy boutique-laden street that is South Granville’s Fairview Slopes area, Siena‘s cozy dining room offers plenty of ambiance and a relaxed atmosphere complemented by friendly service (1485 W 12th Ave). In true trattoria style, the room has a certain vibrancy to it that adds to the experience with conversations flowing from one table to another (you can’t help but overhear your neighbor, but that doesn’t really matter… it feels as though the space was designed that way). 

A well-chosen drink and wine list ensures you’ll have plenty of options to go with the grub, with particular representation of Spain, Italy and France being paid. Good thing, as you’ll likely need some serious libations to help wash down the goods offered.

Featuring a menu with a decidedly Mediterranean feel, it’s one packed with dishes offering a serious nod to comfort cooking; Burrata served with pear mostada and grilled focaccia, antipasti, bison meatball spaghetti, brick-roasted chicken, polenta fries and more.

Currently, Siena’s celebrating its West Coast mushroom festival menu until November 6th. If you go, select from a multitude of choices as part of a prix-fixe menu that includes torta di funghi, grilled pork tenderloin with morels, porcini ravioli and white chocolate and black truffle tarte.

If locally sourced mushrooms don’t suit your fancy, no sweat. Siena features a rotating daily menu via their chalkboard with additional delectable appies and mains that will more than satiate.

Next time you’re cruising your way through this South Granville neighbourhood, be sure to pop into Siena for a foodie fix worth noting. With its prime location at 1485 West 12th Avenue, it’s the perfect place to land after an afternoon of shopping, checking out galleries or post trip to the nearby theatre.
