Given its aspirations, Terra di Siena's prices are not out of line. We can help punch up the odds. Here's a meal I had last week. Alas not, due to the unbalanced vegetable salad upon which the flan was perched. Inventive, unusual, refreshing and priced to match, this sweetener went fine with the flavorsome Illy coffee the restaurant serves.
Servers move fast, and food is rushed to tables by runners as soon as it is plated.
Because the restaurant was far from full on both my visits, I noticed staffers refilling glasses and checking half- finished plates much too often. On the other hand, butter came unbidden with the dish of crusty bread at the first meal but had to be asked for the second time around. The furnishings are as Euro-contempo as the food. The guy at the table behind us on the upper level was dining alone. For company, he was working his cell phone, talking to friends.
