Exceptional Italian food in Providence, especially over on Federal Hill, isn't hard to come by. My boyfriend had been wanting to try out
Siena, where a friend of his works, for a while now, and we finally had the time this weekend. It was, as advertised, wonderful.
We both opted for the special salad, which consisted of mixed greens, toasted pears and almonds, feta cheese and a raspberry vinaigrette. Simple and delectable. Also: toasted almonds should be an ingredient in every salad. Mmmm!
We also both ordered the potato and ricotta gnocchi with a pesto cream sauce and roasted peppers. The gnocchi was a little heavier than I'm used to, but still so good.
Desert was a harvest crumble with apples, pears and cranberries, with vanilla gelatto on top. At the bottom it was so gooey and extra cinnamon-y and clumpy that I was convinced there were figs in there as well. There wasn't, but it didn't matter. It was a perfect desert.
