Siena masterfully curates a dining experience that celebrates the rare, the original, and the truly exceptional. Within its warmly lit, elegantly adorned interior, couples and gourmets alike discover not only the art of Italian cooking, but also an atmosphere that whispers Old World romance

A Treasure Trove of Rare Delicacies

What sets Siena apart is its unwavering commitment to sourcing rare, high-quality ingredients that are otherwise elusive in Cambodia. The restaurant’s menu brims with authentic Italian specialties, many of which feature products directly imported from the heart of Italy.

From the Tuscano Pecorino cheese and premium cold cuts in the Tagliere Toscano, to Parma ham Ferrari and the unique, marbled texture of Australian Wagyu Tomahawk (MB5), these treasures underscore Siena’s dedication to offering genuine flavors and precious finds. Even the seafood—such as in the Carpaccio di Capesante (scallop carpaccio) and the spectacular Pizza alla Pescatora—is a testament to the restaurant’s tireless pursuit of culinary authenticity.

Signature Creations & Italian Classics Reinvented

Siena’s menu doesn’t just echo tradition; it furthers the lore of Italian cuisine with its signature reinterpretations. Take the Tartare di Salmone con Carpaccio Branzino Marinato e Affumicato alla Barbabietola: a visually striking starter, the delicate salmon pairs with beetroot-marinated, smoked sea bass and a creamy burrata, finished with onyx-hued Venus rice chips. This dish illustrates Siena’s kitchen philosophy—honor the classics but never shy away from imaginative flair and textural contrasts.
