    “A sunny canvass for of a blend of Italian and Spanish tastes in a fun, casual setting, and with an approachable wine list to match.
    Lusty, rustic, bare tabled and boisterous. It also brings some much needed Italian and Spanish tastes to the area. Siena seduces South Granville.” | TIM PAWSEY – THE HIRED BELLY / VANCOUVER COURIER

    “Perfect before a show at the nearby Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage.” | WHERE MAGAZINE
