Siena At Balboa Inn - Newport Beach

What can I say?? This place is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Newport Beach. The ambience, the professionalism, Alfred and the staff and especially Chef who makes amazing specialty dishes is an experience in itself. Thank you so much for always making our dinners great and flavorful. I'll be back to bring the rest of the family!!

We were walking to dinner and happen to stroll by this restaurant. Staff was extremely nice and the food was on point. We used Google in our search for places for dinner and don't catch this gem. Has a hybrid outdoor/indoor seating arrangement with excellent wine and food. If you are considering other places in the area, I recommend that you cancel your previous plan and come here. We feel lucky to have stumbled onto this place.

Came here only because we passed by it, we decided to walk in and give it a chance. When we arrived the chef greeted us in such a friendly manner, when we were seated he gave us a few minute to check the menu out even suggested some items to us. My boyfriend picked the lasagna and I ended up picking the chicken Alfredo. The food came out in such a timely manner, let me tell you ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Every tasted so fresh and was just made with genuine love his cooking reminded me of my grandmothers good, you can tell he puts love into what he makes. Towards the end of our meal he surprised us with a dessert which was absolutely AMAZING! 10/10

We ate here and some of us had cold food, others stated the food was way below average. Most of us did not finish our meal. Our waitress was very rude and acted like she did not want to serve us.

This place was incredibly special for my moms 50th! We had a private dinner on the balcony and Jeff was a personal server! We were able to pick out our 4-courses before dinner and set the reservation. We were staying at the Balboa inn so it made it easy to just walk out. We came out glasses and plates and table was all set really nicely! Jeff was amazing on serving excellent service and even providing his great recommendation of his Sangria! Jeff and the team did an awesome job on making sure this night was special and had good energy all around. The crab cakes and Lobster Ravioli were delicious and I think this going to be the new family go to! Thanks again to Jeff , the team and the special even g they put together to make it special!
