Gentlemen, guard your ladies. Fabio has landed in Chicago.

Only instead of the blonde, made-for-Zoolander model, it's the brown-haired Top Chef Fabio Viviani.
 
With two successful restaurants in California, Viviani joined forces with the guys from Bull & Bear and Public House to open the snazzy new Siena Tavern.
 
The massive, multi-room, rustic-meets-industrial River North restaurant includes leather booths in the dining room, a pizza/crudo/mozzarella bar with high tops, and lounge seating adjacent to the (obligatory) DJ booth.
 
Start your meal with kobe meatballs or saba-roasted bone marrow with pickled maitake mushrooms and crispy bread. And now about Chef Fabio's signature dish: those gnocchi, topped with truffle cream, fried sage, and crispy pancetta.
 
The cocktail menu's loaded, too, numbered one through eleven. Try the No. 1 (Absolut, ginger zest, lemon and sage tincture) or jump straight to the No. 10 with Woodford double oaked, Luxardo bitters, maraschino, and apricot.

It's a romance novel in a glass.
