started out as an after work happy hour spot -- always a great selection on tap. and has evolved into our go-to pre-/post-show gathering place. great location within walking distance of theaters. food is delicious + the menu and atmosphere is kid-friendly.

The waiter was very friendly & attentive. The Parmesan Herb fries...the best, they give you a very healthy portion��. I'd go back just for those, truly enjoyed my salad. I didn't have any meatballs but those who did had no complaints.

I never been to a restaurant that mostly served variations of meatballs and sauce. It was quite crowded due to the events gong on downtown. Food came out fast and tasty with dipping sauce that was just too good to describe. I really appreciated the fancy jugs of water they brought out to the table for quick refills.

Grabbed a quick bite to eat before the pens game & it was so yummy! I went hear a few years back and thought it was just okay, but after coming again with their updated menu I’ll definitely be a repeat customer. The meatballs were so yummy and flavorful and moist. Before they were so dry I could barely cut into the ball, but that’s no longer the case. I don’t have dietary restrictions, but I see that they have both gluten free & vegan options which is a must in 2023. Whatever they’re doing they are doing RIGHT!!! I can’t wait to take my boyfriend here I know he’ll love it just as much as I did!!

We just had an unexpectedly great evening at Emporio. It was cold and raining outside so we decided to warm up with some apps and drinks. One of our group said they saw the awesome reviews of sienna’s meatballs on a news segment and so we dropped in to check it out. We ended up staying a lot longer than expected due to the great food and tasty beverages. The dip trio and arancini apps were a great and quick opener to whet our appetites! Light and delicious! My personal favorites from the menu were the dirty bird (think Thanksgiving in a wrap)and the beef smash. The dirty bird brought all the warmth we needed with tender turkey and gravy soaked mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. While the beef smash was a marinara coated delight that chased any remnants of the wet chill we still felt after the dirty bird. They definitely need to think about keeping the dirty bird on the menu full time!!

Stopped by for lunch on a business trip. I will dream about the thanksgiving turkey ball bowl for the rest of my life. But seriously is was great. Fried cheese curds we’re good too. Would def recommend!

The fish meatballs and the brussel sprouts were delicious. Very generous portions...I over-ordered but enjoyed what I could eat of it!

Awesome spot! New chef has the right idea- quality has gone up drastically, and everything is SO much better. Always loved this spot but will be back way more often now!!

Our first time here and it was good all around. Our server DJ made sure we were well taken off and explained the menu options when we had a ton of questions. Highly recommend this place and DJ!

I can’t say enough about the amazing flavor of my meal here. Both sauces I tried were fantastic, and paired well with the various meat options. And the Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly, just a little crispy (in a good way) and seasoned to be really flavorful. I was here on business, but if I had the chance I’d easily eat here again.

Recently we stopped in for dinner I tried the loaded potato meatballs and enjoyed them very much I highly recommend trying them, my father got spicy chicken meatballs they weren’t very good and tasted rough / gritty wouldn’t recommend. There was about a 20mins wait to be seated and it then took over 45mins for our waitress to take our drink orders not even our food orders that took another 20mins. I felt bad for staff though there was only one lady taking everyone’s orders and at one point she dropped a tray of glasses and cleaned it all herself, on the way out I asked another waitress possibly bar tender how her night was and she said not the best so hopefully they find more staff they are seemingly very understaffed. If you are staying at the hotel across the street this restaurant is worth a try.

No idea what these negative reviews are about. We went today for lunch. Service and food were great! Our guests were from out of town and can’t wait to go back.
