"So glad we chose Chianti for our special evening out with friends. What a wonderful experience all the way around. The food was outstanding (best steak we have had in a long time) and the service was fantastic. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back. :)"

"Good food, great service and fun atmosphere. This is the second time we have dined here and not been disappointed. We had the same waiter we had when we ate here last time, Dave, and he was fantastic!! Very nice and very personable. Excellent food from the pastas to the steak special-I recommend them all."

"The concierge at the Marriott hotel in the Gas Lamp recommended this restaurant - we loved the location, ambience is very nice and classy, service is outstanding and their wine selection is also good.
Unfortunately, I would NOT recommend it to others as the food was below average and a bit pricey for what you get. I do not mind paying if the meal matches the price but not at this place. One is simply paying for the ambience and location.
We ordered a variety of dishes including the ravioli plate with crab meat, the penne pasta with slices of file mignon - pasta was dry and the sauce was beyond basic as if they simply opened a jar of Ragu.
Very disappointed."

"We were a large party and were late and didn't all come at the same time due to the crazy parking situation that we had overlooked when making the reservation initially. The food was good and the guest of honor, my 85 yr old mother, had a great time and that is all that matters. There were a few orders out of the 14 people who were there that needed to be corrected but everyone seemed to enjoy the evening."

"Thank you for a wonderful pre-Valentine's experience; my wife and I are not able to get out often and this was just the rejuvenation, quality time and romantic atmosphere we needed to continue growing our relationship. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our 15th valentines celebration with your team and are eager to come back again.

My wife had their salmon, it was to die for; I had their rib-eye which was one of the best steaks I've eaten in years."

"Wonderful Italian restaurant! Amazing food and great service. Will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone. The menu has so much to offer: I had a pasta with shrimps, mussels and clams, and my boyfriend had a filet mignon cooked perfectly. Homemade tiramisu, too! A must try!"
