In the midst of a busy Saturday evening at Little Siena during leaf season, the owner and the kitchen were wonderfully gracious to both regulars and strangers. In my case as a stranger, they were facile and energetic to accommodate my dietary requests, created on the spot a terrific eggplant accompaniment to my entree, and filled my traveling cup with...

We have been going there for years (the old and new location) and keep going back. Choice of the buffet or from the menu during lunch and dinnertimes. If visiting in the area an excellent choice and it's very convenient location, close to I-40 from the Marion/Shelby exit. The staff and Amy very nice and welcoming. Buon appetito!

My husband and I were visiting Marion, NC and decided to give Little Siena a try. We dined at Little Siena on a Wednesday afternoon around 2:30. This was about the time the buffet was closing but Owner Amy stated we could still get the buffet if we wanted, but we chose to order off the menu. My husband and... More

Dined here as a party of three on a Saturday night about 7:00. Restaurant was about 1/3 full. Courteous staff seated us and waited on us promptly. Drinks and complementary bread (which was very good) was served quickly. Two of our party ordered the buffet and one ordered off of the menu. Salad bar was a limited in choices, but... More

I went to Little Siena and loved their food. The margaritas were also great. I had the manicotti and it was wonderful (loaded with cheese!). I definitely do not understand the bad comments about the owner, Amy. She was extremely welcoming and very happy to be out and about talking with everyone - I felt very comfortable and respected in... More

I have been going to this restaurant for a couple of years. I have property up in this area and love to go to this restaurant whenever I come to the mountains of North Carolina! Friendly, family restaurant. Excellent food and wonderful service. Amy is the owner and very hands on. They recently moved to a new building and it... More

My husband and I drive 45 minutes one way virtually every weekend to eat at Little Siena. The food is great, the homemade salad dressings (OMG, the Thousand Island and Ranch!!!) are exceptional, and the staff treats us like family. I love the lasagna, and my husband says that both the chicken and the eggplant parmesan dishes are the best... More

Bad service, prime rib buffet with no prime rib for almost 30 minutes, rude and unprofessional management. There are MUCH better options in Marion. If you want Italian, go to Roma in Nebo or even Eddies. Or get the best fresh Mexican at Jalapeño or Eddies Burritos, or excellent BBQ at Smokey - Qs. Better food, better prices, and MUCH... More
