Siena’s of Leederville remains a brilliant option for relaxed, family-friendly Italian in the heart of bustling Leederville. The restaurant is large and lively, with a warm Mediterranean feel – think statues, murals and plenty of cosy tables – and it manages to balance that busy Oxford Street buzz with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for kids.
The star feature for families is still the dedicated playroom towards the rear of the restaurant. Fully enclosed with a glass wall, it allows parents to keep an eye on little ones while actually enjoying a hot meal. Inside you’ll find soft flooring, a small climbing structure, along with wall-mounted toys for toddlers and educational charts for older children.
Siena’s kids’ menu offers plenty of choice for even the fussiest eaters. The dedicated kids’ menu is available for children 12 years and under and includes many kid-approved Italian favourites. Pasta lovers can choose spaghetti or penne with Bolognese, Napoletana, or cream and bacon sauce, while pizza fans can select from Margherita, Margherita with ham or sausage, Hawaiian or vegetarian. There are also classic options like chicken nuggets and chips, or battered fish and chips. For families looking for slightly lighter options, Siena’s also offers special kids’ meals such as grilled chicken breast with salad or grilled fish with salad. Individual kids’ meals are currently priced from around $11, and there’s also a Kids Meal Deal which includes a main meal, kids soft drink and a scoop of gelato – perfect if your child always has room for dessert.
Adults are well catered for with a broad Italian menu featuring pizzas, pastas and mains, plus an extensive drinks list. On cooler nights, hearty dishes such as creamy carbonara or a rich lasagne are especially comforting, and there are antipasto boards and garlic bread that are great for sharing with the table. Siena’s also offers a dessert menu if you’d like to linger a little longer after the kids have finished playing. If you prefer to bring your own wine, BYO is available for a small corkage fee, or you can choose from their wine and drinks list.
One of the reasons Siena’s works so well for families is its size and layout. The spacious dining room can accommodate large family gatherings or group catch-ups with friends, and staff are used to seating parties close to the play area so children can move between the table and the playroom. The restaurant also offers takeaway and online ordering, which is handy if you love their food but need a family night at home instead.
Located right on Oxford Street, Siena’s is easy to combine with a stroll through Leederville or a quick stop at nearby Oxford Street Reserve Playground before or after your meal. With its dedicated kids’ play area, varied children’s menu (including healthier grilled options), and consistently reliable Italian favourites, Siena’s of Leederville remains a top pick for families looking for a stress-free night out.
