The Siena empire is expanding.
Anthony Tarro confirmed with GoLocal that he is opening a new location of the popular Italian eatery, currently in East Greenwich and Smithfield.
On Wednesday, Tarro and an investor purchased the former Coastal Cabin in Narragansett at auction for $950,000.

“I’ve been looking to expand the company for the last several years. I have a desire to be in South County,” said Tarrro. “I see Narragansett as being a great area for us to expand our brand.”
Vision and Time Frame
Known for its elevated Tuscan cuisine, Tarro says he has a specific “casual upscale” vision for the new location.
“My plans are to build out a more casual theme restaurant under the Siena Brand providing a more ‘casual’ experience for the locals, residents and seasonal renters and tourists,” said Tarro. “We would still provide a high level of quality and consistency while still providing value.”
And there might be a twist.
“I’m considering calling it Siena-by-the-Sea,” said Tarro.
Tarro says as far as time frame, there is some “work to be done.”
“It’s going to take us coming up with and developing a plan for the property in the building based on what the restaurant needs are going to be and what we can cooperatively obtain by working together closely with the Town of Narragansett,” said Tarro.
“In my heart of hearts, you know, if I could be open by the summer…that would be maybe Herculean,” laughed Tarro. “But it would certainly be something that I would love to do.”
Stay tuned for an opening timeline.
