| - Snuck out for a mid-afternoon snack(!) after a pitiful "lunch" at Fresh Corner.
Sienna Mercato is located across the street from Somona Grille in the 900 block of Penn Avenue.
The place is hip, modern, industrial looking decor. A definite welcome of this style to downtown. This seems like a place you might find in the strip, but closer and available for lunch!
We were greeted quickly by a hostess and at our table quickly. Great service all around. We told the waiter we were in a hurry, and the food was out in minutes!
I tried four meatballs: the beef with Pesto, bacon cheeseburger with a cheese sauce, pork with the Bolognese, and a chicken meatball.
The Chicken Meatball had a slightly gamey taste, not sure the exact cause for that. If I had bought (4) of these I would have sent them back.
Overall the meatballs were great -- but smallish, for a good lunch you need 3-4 for sure.
My favorite was definitely the pork!!
The rootbeer float was good, but the root beer itself was flat. I had asked for more rootbeer, and they needed to charge me $4.00 for "another" Draft Root Beer. I wouldn't have complained solely about that, but it came out completely flat. Disappointing.
