Overall, an enjoyable visit. The food was fresh and menu offered a wide variety of options for every pallete with a fresh, unique and creative ingredients beautifully assembled and presented. Service was great with frequent checkbacks, refills and a good pace to the meal. Dining room was clean and well-maintained. My only issue with this visit was the noise in the dining room. The acoustics were loud and it was difficult to hear normal conversation at my table. I would recommend the restaurant explore options to improve sound dampening for a quieter, more enjoyable dining experience. I'll be back!

Ren was a fantastic server last night. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and the overall experience was perfect. Thank you to Ren, The Kitchen and the Bartenders. Street Pasta was excellent Penne Toscana was Fabulous as were the Spaghetti with Meatballs and finally the terrific Pepperoni Flatbread. All items were served Hot and were plated beautifully. Carrot Cake is a MUST for sharing after dinner. Chianti Grill has never disappointed. Consistently great and the cozy fireplaces make the ambiance during fall and winter charming and romantic.
