   We went to celebrate a birthday last night and the food was excellent. The staff is so friendly. I highly recommend going to Chianti.

   Initially looked like a cozy little Italian place. However, the food is not good. My likely previously frozen lasagna was still cold in the middle. The cleanliness of the restaurant was poor too with a large layer of dust on shelves and old food in the gap behind the booth seats. Find a different place to go to.

   Enjoyed pizza with nice crust, lots of fresh toppings. Service was very pleasant and professional. I'm still suffering from sticker shock at restaurants, but the prices here seem like a good value compared to other places I've eaten at recently. My overall impression is that Chianti Cucina does its best to combine good food with good service at the best price they can offer. I thank them for doing that and will be coming back.

   It was good it was not great. I had the special crab and shrimp ravioli and the shrimpo were like rubber. My partner had the special risotto it was good. Someone else in the party got very ill that night they had the short ribs. I won't blame that on the food because we just don't know.

   Comfortable & welcoming like going to a friend’s house for dinner. Warm bread. Cesar salad fresh & crunchy with just the right amount of dressing. Excellent service! Crème brûlée was perfect ending!

   I enjoy this restaurant, however, the noise level is hard to handle...I chose a high top table in the bar, usually quieter...it was very difficult to have a conversation....My usual "go to" pasta was good, but not great....it is usually great!!

    The food was delicious and the service was great! We were a party of 8 and Everyone ordered something different. Not one dish was disappointing. Chianti Cucina has great food at a reasonable price. Would definitely go again and recommend!
