    We’ve been here a couple of times, and each time we dine here we love it. Our server was wonderful and our dishes were excellent. Starters were the bread and calamari, bread was hot and delicious. Calamari was lightly battered and tender. Cacio Peppe perfect, Bronzino flavorful, Pappardelle great and chicken piccata plentiful. Desserts were gelato and flourless chocolate cake. Restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays as well. We’ll be back!

    We like La Plage. Great for date night, but can get a bit loud if your table ends up next to a larger group. Service was excellent. I had the filet and my lovely and brilliant wife had the branzino, both prepared beautifully. They seem to have solved the heating problem in the outdoor transitional space.

    Went to Siena for a Monday lunch with friends. The food and service were wonderful and the room is bright and welcoming. However, the music was so loud that it was, at times, difficult to have a discussion. We asked for the music level to be lowered but it remained unreasonably loud.
