What's New
We’re always cooking up something new, in more ways than one. Check out the inspiration for our seasonal menus, track the progress of our onsite garden, and see what local events we’re participating in.
Best Appetizer Award
We have exciting news to share: Earlier this month, we won first place for Best Appetizer at the Taste of the South Hills! Our own Chef John showcased our new Pimento Cheese appetizer and our famous Cast-Iron Cornbread to help secure the popular vote. Eighteen different restaurants participated in this 12th annual event, hosted by the Dormont-Mt. Lebanon-Castle Shannon Rotary Club and benefits a variety of charitable organizations in the South Hills. Congratulations team!
Easter Brunch
We will be open normal hours for the upcoming holiday weekend, so make sure to stop by and indulge in Easter brunch! From Mimosas and Bloody Marys to delicious seasonal plates, like The Porch Omelet, you’ll experience a relaxing atmosphere where you can enjoy spending time with family and friends. Brunch is served every Saturday and Sunday starting at 10AM. The best part? No reservations are needed!
Appetizers You’ll Love…
Variety is the spice of life, and our selection of appetizers allows you to get a taste of the many flavors that we’re cooking up in our kitchen. Our Double Heart Spinach Dip, made with marinated artichokes, hearts of palm, spinach, and Parmesan, is a creamy, hearty shareable starter that your entire table will love.
Or, add some zest to your night with our classic Calamari, complete with crispy zucchini, piquillo peppers, and spicy tomato sauce. Whether you choose one or several, these small bites are a wonderful way to help transition from a long day to a relaxing night.

Dawson's Orchards Farm Dinner
The summer season will be here before you know it and we’re already looking forward to Dawson’s Orchards Farm Dinner series, a lineup of events where local chefs craft a unique menu featuring fresh, local produce that is then paired with selections from local wineries and breweries. Our own Andrew “Red” Jacobson, Executive Chef at our Schenley location, will be the featured chef at Dawsons’ event on August 10. In addition to his delicious meal, all in attendance can also enjoy a behind the scenes tour of a working orchard, given by the owners themselves.
Community Supported Agriculture from Penn's Corner Farm Alliance
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a valuable resource for bringing a box filled with a wide variety of farm-fresh seasonal food right into your home - especially when it’s sourced from our friends at Penn’s Corner Farm Alliance, who have been working with farms all over Southwestern PA since 1999. We use many of the local ingredients found in these boxes in our kitchen every day!
The Porch at Siena is one of the few pickup locations in the South Hills, making it a great excuse to try some of our new recipes before you bring home fresh produce to use in yours. Learn more about Penn's Corner CSA program and then try it out for yourself. Sign up today!

Welcome Our New Executive Chef
We’re excited to announce the promotion of John Reicherter to Executive Chef at The Porch at Siena. Most recently, John was our Executive Sous Chef at our Schenley location.
Chef John was introduced to the culinary world at an early age when his mom owned a deli in Lewisburg, PA. It was then that he found a passion for scratch-made food and realized that you don’t need fancy ingredients to make a great-tasting meal. After gaining a hands-on culinary education by working in several restaurants throughout Manhattan and Queens, he moved to Pittsburgh in 2013, where he started as a fry cook at The Porch at Schenley. John has a strong dedication to using locally sourced ingredients and can’t wait to create new dishes using the fresh produce from our Porch side garden.
Stop in to welcome John to the Siena team and enjoy some of his delicious creations!

Weekend Brunch
After a busy and hectic work week, you deserve a break! Let us do the work and stop in for weekend brunch, where you can enjoy seasonal specialties like “The Porch” Omelet and kick back with a Bloody Mary on our porch. Available every Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM-3 PM, it’s just what you need to get your weekend off to a great start!
Our Lunch Service Style
Between back to school shopping and back to back meetings, there isn’t always time to enjoy a leisurely lunch. Here at The Porch, we offer a quicker dining experience during the weekday daylight hours, where you can walk in, order and pay, and select any seat you like. After that, your food is delivered right to your table and we’ll take care of the cleanup once you’ve finished. A great meal shouldn’t require a hefty time commitment.
