Service is professional, me and my friends tried several dishes on several visits like the seafood linguine, breaded chicken, tenderloin, cheesecake, calamari, overall all items tasted good, but not special, could cook the same at home, and that is what we all agreed on. The Italian cuisine offers much more variety and dishes, that could be incorporated in the menu. I hope that for my review I do not end up sleeping with the fishes

Showed up here at 830 and the restaurant closed at 9, Was seated and served drinks and food before 9. I’ve come to Cafe Chianti many times in the last 15 years and will continue to do so because I like the atmosphere and the food. Last night I had the pizza and my partner had ravioli and although I thought my pizza was a little too loaded with… cheese all the food tasted great. The waitress was very helpful and even concocted us some drinks that weren’t on the menu. When the bill came the waitress had taken off the pizza and one of the drinks (even though we offered to pay).

Went there yesterday with a friend after reading the reviews. We ordered Arancini Di Riso and Escargot tart in starters which were good. In the main course, we ordered lobster angolotti ricotta and it was… extremely salty that we had to send it back. Even though we dint like the dish, they made us pay for it. Disappointed with the service. Won't be going there again. Cosmopolitans weren't great either.

If you are looking for authentic Italian, this place couldnt be more perfect. The atmosphere was romantic and eloquent, transporting me to the heart of Italy. I had the brie appetizer and the gnocchi for my entree. It was literally to die for 😍 The staff were super friendly and we got our food within 20 min of sitting down. I will be going back to this place 100%

Great atmosphere, and the service was spot on. The waitress was friendly and made sure everything was going smoothly. The quality of the food was excellent. The filet just melts in your mouth. I would recommend getting the seafood linguine with marinara sauce. However, I found the pizza a little lackluster.

Okay, but over-rated and over priced. The presentation is very nice, as is the service and atmosphere. It's a great place for dates or intimate dinner with friends. However, there were some very obvious and avoidable errors with some of the dishes.
I had the duck, which was very nicely done at medium rare. The vegetables, too, we're very nice. The risotto was under done with crunchy bits throughout. Not what I would expect from a higher end Italian place.
The spaghetti seafood had fresh seafood, but mushy, not fresh (pre-cooked) pasta. A disappointment at, again, a higher end Italian restaurant
