    Our server was terrible and inattentive, didn’t get it seemed like we were her only table. Ordered the meat ravioli. It wasn’t smothered in the sauce nor topped with any cheese. In addition they only gave 6 raviolis, was still hungry afterwards. Barely gave my party of 4 enough bread as a starter. No bread was offered with our meals very disappointed this is an Italian restaurant after all. No bread with your meal, come on. Served warm water when the temperature inside hovered near 80 degrees.

    This was a 6.30 reservation on a Thursday and the restaurant was surprisingly full. Understaffing was evident as it took 5 minutes to be seated and 30 minutes before our food order was taken. The blackberry salmon was tasty as ever and the regular salmon dish equally so. Both were served with perfectly cooked brocolli. We paid $15 corkage for the wine we brought in and total with tax and tip was $96.

    This was our go-to restaurant for many years when we lived in the area. I was really excited to take friends there again. The main reason was an email I received from Chianti's speaking of special menu items in June. What I failed to notice was these were only on the weekends. That being said, We did order two appetizers which were our favorites from past experience. The Caprese salad was a major disappointment in that the mozzarella cheese was cut too thick and not very good quality and the tomatoes were mediocre. The other item was not shown on the menu but they accommodated my request for their Prawns in a wonderful Pesto sauce. This dish, of all we ordered was the best and I could bath in that sauce. For our main courses, I ordered one of my favorites, Veal in Champagne Sauce. This also did not live up to prior experiences. The sauce was almost non-existent and somewhat flavorless. My husband ordered the Meatballs appetizer and that dish was very good. Our friends ordered Alio E Olio, which was never ordered or forgotten by the kitchen. She was made to wait about 10 minutes for her meal to be made. Her husband ordered the Garlic Combo Pizza and was pleased with that. I know the owner and his son who is usually in the kitchen, but neither were present that night. I hope this experience was just a one off and not a downturn for this restaurant. We will be back. This restaurant was too good to us not to give them another chance.

    Good food. Waiter was pleasant and efficient but needed some polish. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and when the waiter saw this, he said, "Do you want a piece of cake or something?" He just needed a bit more coaching. And I wish waitstaff EVERYWHERE would quit referring to patrons as "you guys." I am not an effing guy.

    My wife and I took our family and our parents for Mother’s Day dinner. Everything turned out very well. The food was great and we had a really nice evening. It was very busy because it was Sunday, Mother’s Day, but the servers were working hard and were king enough to keep us updated on our order. We will be back !!

    It was Mother's Day so there was a fixed menu and the prices were higher. I didn't know this when I booked otherwise I wouldn't have booked it. It appeared as they were overbooked and the kitchen couldn't keep up with the patrons. The food was still good but the experience not as smooth or enjoyable as previous regular dinners.
