Very disappointed with how bad this restaurant has gotten. Food taste has continued to go down since they opened. Now service is just terrible. Waited more than an hour for food, when it did come, 2 of 4 were cold. We didnât see a server that entire time. We got poor excuses and two cheap glasses of red wine to make up for it. Wonât be going back.

We love Bella Siena! We come here for most of our special occasions because we know that the food, service and experience will make our night special!
If you're thinking about eating her, definitely do it!! It's worth all of the money and then some from the service to the amazing food. I took some family there and we were all so happy with our experience.
We have never been disappointed with the meals or service.
Spectacular setting on a beautiful day. Food, especially the pasta, was delicious. Good cocktails. Our server, Caroline, was FABULOUS.
Great restaurant in Benicia, the best, there by far. Food was terrific, service was outstanding. But be prepared for a far more expensive dinner than a year ago. We had 2 drinks, split a Ceasar Salad (that was fantastic!), and each had relatively inexpensive pasta dishes for our main course. With a 20% tip the bill came to $140! We brought our own wine. That said, still a marvelous restaurant! Gene
We celebrated our 30th anniversary at the Bella Sienna! We loved everything about it--the service, food, view of the delta...all of it. The lamb tenderloin is excellent. And so is everything else we've tried on the menu. Definitely a 5-star restaurant!!
Food was excellent, wait staff very friendly, BEAUTIFUL OCEAN VIEW!
Classic Italian with fresh ingredients. Paired nicely with an interesting Italian red bottle. Our server Liz was busy because the place was packed but she never stopped smiling as she rose to the challenge. Especially appreciated the food runners who delivered the pasta hot to our table. Were thrilled to have a waterfront view after reading all over social media that this was the premier dining spot in Benecia.
The server was great! She was on top of everything and had a great personality. The bread was cold and not "good" bread. It was just OK. We split a Caesar salad, and of course, didn't expect it to be big since we were splitting it, but it was so small and literally, each of us only had one crouton on our salad. There was actually an end piece of romaine in the mix, that was not something you'd normally have in the salad...the base of the head of lettuce where it's still attached. You don't eat that part...at least I have never seen that in a Caesar salad and I've had many throughout the years. However, the dressing was good. I had the Pappardelle Allo Zafferono- saffron pasta with shrimp, mushroom, artichoke hearts, and shrimp bisque sauce. It was fabulous!! Definitely the star of the dinner table for us. My husband had the special which was white fish (can't remember what type) with mashed potatoes and asparagus. The fish was nicely grilled but the seasoning was just OK. It was kind of bland. For dessert, we split the Tiramisu and it was excellent. It wasn't a very big piece, but we were fine with that because we were quite full. It was good though and so was the coffee. The ambiance is nice at Bella and I know there is more of a modern look/decor which is fine. I just really would love to see a little bit of greenery/flowers on the table. I know it's kind of old school, but it's always a nice touch to have a small decanter of some sort greenery with a bit of color. As far as restaurants go in Benicia, it's a pretty good restaurant. I've eaten there a few times and I live in town. As far as restaurants in the bay area...it's would not rate it as a good restaurant...just OK.
