Great food and service. We had a window table with a beautiful view. Our table tried the lamb, steak, pesto gnocchi , Napa cabbage, beet salad and sea bass. And the chocolate mousse cake. Went well with the stags Leap Petite sirah. All delicious and well presented.

Great spot for families and date night with the special someone. First time here and my son love the window view to the water. The steak skewers were the best ???? next time I'll order two of those for myself. …

A group of friends and I eat there regularly. The views, the food and the bar are excellent, and yet the standout element for me is always the service; highly skilled, friendly, helpful. They are knowledgeable of the menu and specials, they greet with with a smile, and if you have a problem they will make it right.

First time trying this place and let me tell you, my family and I absolutely loved it! The food is great and the service is AMAZING!! From the moment we stepped in, everyone was so lovely and so attentive, and our server Kelly was the sweetest. Thank you so much for making us feel welcomed! We tried the calamari appetizer, the rib eye, salmon, lamb, pasta with prawns and dessert. Everything was delicious! ???????? The place is so pretty and the view is lovely. You have to try this place! But make sure to make a reservation before you go because it gets busy!!

This place is AMAZING! I had a reservation for 13 but 15 showed up! Our server, Coco, along with the management staff took very good care of us! Made sure we all were seated together. We had a very good time and Coco was exceptional - we just loved her personality and professionalism. I would like to thank everyone at Bella Siena. Coco, management, the wait staff - everyone for making sure we all had a good time! Oh! The food was delicious!

I was looking for a place to celebrate our 10th year living here in CA. I’m so glad I came across Benicia. I wanted it to be close to the water. I read the reviews and looked at the photos. Bella Siena didn’t disappoint us. The place was so nice, the service was great, thanks to Hannah as well as the other staff that served us and of course the food was amazing! Thanks so much for giving us a great time. After eating we also walked around, such a nice and relaxing place to hang out. This was our first time coming here and surely won’t be the last. See you soon Bella.

My husband and I were strolling around and decided it was time for dinner. We sat down at a random bench while we searched food options on Yelp, and no lie-I heard multiple conversations from couples/groups walking down the street saying "I love Bella Siena" or "Bella Siena is my go-to datenight spot". That alone should say enough lol. So, we chose Bella Siena and were able to get seated immediately with no reservation. I don't remember the cocktail I got but guava was calling to me-it was just a tad bit too sweet/syrupy though. They do have complimentary bread and some olive oil concoction that was very yummy, but we also got the bruschetta (I know carb overload), pretty good! My husband got the teriyaki grilled skirt steak-it was perfectly cooked but the teriyaki sauce was veeeery sweet. I got the pecan crusted pork chop, also cooked perfectly but I didn't get much pecan crusted flavor-in fact, the wine reduction on top was also overly sweet. Just a tad bit more saltiness probably would have balanced the sweetness. Both our plates did have great roasted veggies, and the creamy polenta was sooo rich and delicious, I could eat that with every meal, *drool. The service was a bit on the slower side, but it was a really sunny Sunday evening so we wern't the only ones with the same idea of eating at a nice restaurant by the water that day! All in all, although our meals weren't over the top amazing, I would definitely go again if we were in the area.

Great location on the water. Intriguing list of craft cocktails. Their menu is excellent with something for everyone. We had phenomenal service. I had the paparadelle with saffron and shrimp. Absolutely perfectly prepared and tasty. Friend ordered the gnocchi with fresh pesto. Highly recommend this gorgeous restaurant.

I can't believe it's been two years since I wrote my first review of this better-than -perfect culinary jewel of Benicia. At that time, Valentino had been our talented, enthusiastic, attentive waiter, and there was so much to praise. I seldom write reviews, yet, once again, I must share our latest experience of Bella Sienna. This time we just knew that Bella Sienna was THE place to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. Once again, we made an early reservation and were able to get one of the two tables with the best view of the Carquinez Strait and bridge. Martini in hand (very good martini), I looked out across the water with its occasional sail boats, tug boats, entertaining wind surfer, and glistening water and bridge, and felt deeply grateful for my life. We were fortunate to have the service of the cheerful, fun, and highly attentive waitress named Melanie. Once again, every bite of our meal was wonderful. The complimentary sour dough bread with very special dipping sauce is a delectable Bella Sienna beginning. Our cocktails were a delight, accompanied by the scrumptious Skirt Steak Satay appetizer (Oh, yum!). Next, our delightful Beet Salad, followed by perfect entrees of Paparadelli alla Zaffarelli and Mushroom Ravioli with prawns added. Finally, the moist, creamy coffee-forward Tiramisu, a perfect ending. All were memorable. Of course! When I inquired about the presence of our earlier, wonderful waiter, Valentino, Melanie explained that he was currently managing and was in the back. Then she was gracious enough to offer to go get him. What a delight it was to see his friendly, kind face again and to have him enthusiastically share with us Bella Sienna's exciting plans for on-site expansion! What could be better than more Bella Sienna, right? We continued to have a flawless, fun time with our wonderful Melanie through dessert and our reluctant farewell. Melanie has been with Bella Sienna for 3.5 years and shared that she loves her job. It shows. We walked the picturesque, historic waterfront after dinner, and then in crossing back over the Benicia bridge to return home, we felt like we'd had a vacation. What a memorable anniversary this has been! Thank you, Bella Sienna for your gorgeous view, your beautiful interior, your talented chefs, for Melanie and Valentino, and every other friendly face we've encountered there! We'll be back EVERY anniversary and more!!

We came here to celebrate a late Mother's Day for mom in love. The place is in a great location and I have never been inside but walking in it was very welcoming and the table we had was in the back by the windows overlooking the water. The server was prompt, attentive and sweet. We placed our order of the following: Spaghetti alla bolognese, Calamari appetizer, Pineapple martini, Capellini Pompidou and Mushroom risotto. Everything came out together after the appetizer so it was nice to be able to eat all at the same time. We enjoyed the calamari. I liked my spaghetti alla bolognese dish along with the pineapple martini. I would have ordered another glass but it was early in the day and I still had to go back to work. Everyone else seem to enjoy their dishes too. I would not mind coming back to try out some other dishes here.
