            Julie was a perfect waitress, lovely food, and wine, and dessert. The best dish tonight was the special tomato & lobster bisque soup.

            Chianti Cucina never disappoints. Our Valentine's Day dinner was delicious, well prepared, served in a timely manner and the service was great. Although they were very busy due to the holiday, we did not feel rushed and the dining experience was so pleasant.

            Our first time. They were willing to adjust ingredients, even offering off-the-menu dishes to meet dietary requests. All the food was wonderful (sourdough pizza was especially good); as was the wait staff. A neighborhood gem. We will be back.

            The waitress didn’t say a word about it being an issue if we split the bill with multiple cards, but after waiting and waiting to sign and leave, she explained that she accidentally charged my card multiple times and blamed it on us for giving her multiple cards. I’m just hoping the charges come off!

            Our server, Anna, was outstanding, helping us with decisions & making it easy for everyone to enjoy & share some of the best pizzas we’ve had. This will be our go to pizza place from now on! Best ceasar salad too, crisp, fresh with just the right amount of dressing. Felt like family & we all want to go back soon to try some of the other menu items!

            always enjoy this restaurant. Food is always good and excellent service. My only complaint is the noise level . It is hard to hear people talking at your table.

            The food was delicious. I had the Caesar salad and the seafood truffle risotto. It was so tasty! Our waitress was kind and attentive, always checking in on us. It has a beautiful ambiance. I definitely would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a wonderful place to eat.
