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.
Free Beer for Dads on Father's Day
Father’s Day is this Sunday and we’re raising our glasses to the men who have taught us some of the most important lessons of life: All Dads who visit us on Father’s Day (June 16) will enjoy a free draft beer on the house!
Whether you bring Dad by for brunch or for a night out with the family, a scratch-made meal on our porch is the perfect way to show your appreciation.
What's Growing in Our Garden?
Gardening season is finally here, and we’re excited to say that our rooftop garden is planted and ready to grow! This year, we planted seedlings for a variety of different vegetables including tomatoes (Pink Tiger, Black Cherry, Supersweet 100), peppers (Lunchbox, Jalapeno, Shishito), zucchini, eggplant, and more. It won’t be long until you can enjoy the fruits of our labor featured in our daily specials.
You’ll also find several types of spices growing in our garden including parsley, mint, chives, dill, rosemary, and sage which we’ll be using in dishes all over our menu. In fact, you can already enjoy homegrown basil on our classic Margherita pizza.
We’d like to give a special thanks to our friends at Grow Pittsburgh, who helped us to get our gardens ready in time for summer. Watch the video below to see all their hard work at our Siena at St. Clair location!

After years of hard work, your graduate is about to complete that long-awaited walk across the stage to receive their diploma. After graduation, celebrate their achievement with dinner at The Porch! It’s the perfect way to reward a job well done and look forward to a bright future.

Kick off al fresco dining season with us on Saturday, June 1, from 3-6PM with our Party at The Porch at Siena! In addition to enjoying a relaxing atmosphere on our porch, you’ll enjoy food and alcohol tastings from a few of our local partners as well as limited-time BBQ-themed specials and specialty cocktails from us.

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!
