cafe siena

we liked the garden effect, it's comfortable and relaxing. a great place to unwind. eat out with a good friend and catch up over good food. must try: bagnet pakbet and cheese pizza. although their food can still be improved, we like how affordable and reasonable the prices are. :)

price is affordable and the dishes have a home cooked taste. excellent place for family lunches or group get togethers.... best bagnet pakbet in town!

there were lots of flies! the staff looked like they couldnt care less. i told them about the flies and they just shrugged it off.
they refused to give service water. the food was not good. cheese pizza was like ordinary bread with cheese on top. the meat in their kare kare was tough and stil had hair on the pork skin. eating their roast beef was like chewing on gum. their prices are steep considering the quality of their food and service.

their only saving grace was the parking, it was a breeze to park and the parking attendant was helpful. the experience just went downhill from there.

cafe siena is another hidden gem in antipolo that offers good food on a budget. nag order kami ng haley’s carbonara, nachos, chicken parmigiana, breaded cheesesticks (with pesto dip and red sauce) - all for less than php 700. okay na kasi the servings were surprisingly hearty.

will the food win any prizes? actually hindi - but the offerings were good enough for our hungry tummies, and sulit na sulit na sa budget. added factors: the place has its own parking, and mabilis ang service. all in all, we’ll definitely be back to give this place another try. 

taste - 👍🏼
ambiance - 👍🏼👍🏼
budget - 👍🏼👍🏼
accessibility - 👍🏼

**ps. other reviews have mentioned that this place has bad service - but we disagree! as long as you can get a table sa indoor seating area nila, mabilis service nila and very responsive ang staff. the only negative feedback we've heard from friends is: 1) don't order the buffalo wings kung gutom na kayo, kasi matagal. and 2) mabagal lang ang service pag sa outdoor area kayo, siguro dahil di ito highly visible from their counter indoors.

this is where i experienced the worst service i ever had in rizal. the waitress wasn't courteous at all. giving incomplete utensils and never came back to refill the drinks. her service was appalling.

as to the food, the roast beef with rosemary gravy was super salty. the meat was over seasoned and the gravy was too salty too. the side dish, potato salad was also salty because it had to much bacon bits. making it really, really salty. mind you, i'm also a cook. so my taste buds are on the salty side already. just imagine how salty it was.

the lasagna lacked cheese and the bolognese sauce was too sweet... similar to your kiddie spaghetti. also it lacked cheese and there was no bechamel sauce at all. lasagna with no bechamel? that's a no no.

both of the dishes looked like it was microwaved.

ok, let's move on to the third dish i had. i also tried their frutti de mare. when it was served, it looked like it was freshly cooked. unlike the first two dishes i had. it was al dente at first but eventually became soggy after a few minutes. because it was soaked in that 'milky' sauce they used. was also surprised to see crabsticks in it. didn't realize that italians used crabsticks for their pasta.

price? i think they're asking too much.

i read from one of the reviewers that it had ample parking space. well... that's a red flag right?

will i ever go back? maybe one last time. hoping a better service next time around.

i ordered korean beef stew ala carte and mango crepe for dessert. i was not that happy with the beef stew as i am used to eating this with short ribs, they are serving it with pure meat. i knew from the start that its not their best seller😊 but it was my craving during that time. the place is small but cozy. food serving for ala carte can cover 3 persons. the crepe is the usual but at least they used real mangoes rather than syrups. will go back and try their best sellers. before we left, another table ordered carbonara (which looks good and they say its their best seller for pasta) and it seems that they are a frequent client of cafe siena. 😉😉😉

talking about quality food and great ambience? come and visit cafe siena.

bagnet kare kare: 5/5(i asked them to fried their alamang damn so good!)
buffalo wings:4/5 (if you have blue cheese dip will get 5star for me)
all meat pizza: 4/5
mango jubilee crepe: 4/5 (if they make their crepe crispy, i will make this 5)

overall this cafe is worth to visit.

this place is welcoming with charming service. a good place to sample good food. prices are reasonable and the servings are huge. bagnet pakbet is one of my favorites. great food and service, would highly recommend. we shall return!

we tried the lasagna, buffalo wings, mango crepe (not in the photo), and brewed coffee. the servings were generous; the flavors were excellent; and the ambiance was cozy!

all in all, it's great value for money. we're definitely going back! 😀

good food with lots of serving. they never dissapointed us. make sure to try their bagnet pakbet, chicken parmigiana, cheese sticks, and pork binagoonan!! ♡

one of the best restaurants we've been into so far! 😁 easy parking, friendly staff, great food! will definitely go back even if it's hours drive from my place to this resto. 😁

me and my brother went here for another siblings date. cozy ambiance. garden effect. relaxing. away from the hustle and bustle of the streets you can commonly see in other restaurants here in antipolo. we got combo 1, combo 3, mango jubilee and choco hazelnut crepe. all our orders are so sulit for the price we paid. seasoning is spot on. the menu is simple but they nailed it. definitely worth the visit.

been visiting this place almost every week since october..  best food with cheaper price.  i also had a chance to have free meal because of the card..  eat there 10 times and you will have a free meal..:)  best food, cheaper price, good ambiance and a friendly staff.  chicken fingers with white sauce and bagnet pakbet is my fave..  thumbs up!

we ordered their peppered fish fillet, bagnet pakbet and five cheese pizza  and i love it!

went here on a sunday night. we always pass by this place and we've been wanting to try their food.

what we ordered:
breaded cheese sticks
nachos
lumpia ubod
bagnet pakbet
beef surf & turf
chicken parmigiana
5 cheese pizza

what's the verdict? their food is not spectacular. their cheese sticks were like the ones you can buy on the streets. only theirs is bigger. the pakbet was on the salty side, almost tasted like binangoongan. i was expecting their surf and turf would consist of beef and seafoods but it only has roast beef which again was a bit salty. the chicken parmigiana was just like fried chicken with cheese on top. and the 5 cheese pizza was really not good. the cheeses didn't even melt at all.

if you're gonna ask me if i'm going back here, my answer is not at the moment. our first time here wasn't impressive at all.
