Sienna Mercato was alright! We came late on a Wednesday. They were out of garlic bread and service was a little slow, our waitress kept walking past us. The chicken meatball was very dense and I didn't have very much sauce to help how dry it was. However, my friend got hers with the risotto and that was ridiculously amazing, very delicious. The beef meatball was really good. The falafel meatball was unfortunately dry, and the Mac and cheese appetizer was pretty unremarkable. It's a pretty restaurant and a cool concept.
This was a unique concept! So if you are in the mood for trying something new go for it. Meatballs in all ways - chicken, beef, pork, veggie and cod. Pick a side, pick a sauce and get a yum tasting bowl. You can have them as hoagies and sliders too.
We had an AMAZING brunch here. The drinks were solid, but the food was the big highlight! Cannot recommend highly enough for drinks/brunch in the downtown area.
A great example why Pittsburgh is so beloved!
This is another establishment that is in great standing with me and my wife. The restaurant hit all 3 expectations.
#1. Service was great and efficient.
#2. Food was prepared quite nicely with delicious and fresh ingredients. Well done to the cooks.
#3. The bill was under $75!
Keep up the quality work, what your team is doing is working! The community appreciates the dedication and commitment! Keep serving food like that and you’ll have even more customers for life like me and my wife!
Bomb a** brunch get the Pork Belly Benny I have never craved a piece of meat until I munched on this pork belly!!! The outside is charred and the fat literally melts in your mouth it’s so yummy. The sauce on top is a pesto hollandaise which is such a fun twist on the OG Benedict. The potatoes are also very well seasoned and tasty
If you’re a drinker I also recommend the Elderflower Spritz. It’s a perfect way to set the vibes for a Sunday rooftop bunch.
Overall 10/10

Great experience at Sienna Mercato! For those not familiar, the location is basically three different floors with each one being a different restaurant. The Meatball Joint is on the ground floor which is where we went. We got a cheesy garlic bread, chicken slider with buffalo sauce, a chicken slider with creamy basil pesto, a ball of the month bowl with chicken parmesan meatball over spaghetti marinara, and cookies. The restaurant was clean, service was excellent, and food was good. Menu was a little confusing but the server helped us out with ordering! The best thing we ordered was the Ball of the Month dish! The Buffalo sauce was a little sweet but still tasty. Basil pesto was fantastic. The garlic bread fell a little flat and lacked garlicky flavor, 3/5. And cookies were a decent 4/5 but nothing special. Overall would visit again. A solid option if looking for some basic meatballs and pasta!
Interesting place that serves meatballs with any meal on the menu. Fantastic options for my friends who are vegetarian, and gluten free! Our server was very pleasant, however she may have been new. Was very slow with getting our drink refills. Also any other restaurant serves a side salad before the main meal. Not here, it came with the meal...
Good food, beer options were limited- they were out of quite a few they had on the menu. Kind of sad actually.
Really unique way to order Italian food. I had the veggie meatballs, which I'd never had before. Yummy. Sat outside on a hot evening.
Everything was great! We hosted a professional happy hour after in the Emporio Front Room at the restaurant and everything was perfect -- food, drinks, ambiance, service, location -- all superb. Emily was fantastic to work with from day 1 of planning the event as well. Highly recommend!
