chianti cafe

pleasantly surprised.
went in on a whim and thouroughly enjoyed ourselves.
fresh and full of flavor.
good service...
we'll be back...perhaps not right away, but it'll happen!

nice ambiance, and service was fair, but i didn't enjoy my food at all. it didn't look good, it didn't taste good, but i was so hungry, i didn't send it back. i didn't feel very good the next morning either, but i can't blame that on them. i had a couple of draft beer (traditional) that went down nicely. the beer was a reasonable price, the entre was $24.00 the calimari was rubbery and not seasoned very well. it wasn't greasy and it was hot enough, both good things. with a 20% tip, my solo bill was $62.00

excellent fiod and service. food was delicious, 4 of us and we all enjoyed our food, my son said the best curry cream sauce ever. . breadon our server was fabulous, what a nice young man and great sense of humour, will definately be back and recommend . 5 star

good place for lunch. had a penne pasta dish with a curry flavoring. the pineapple adds a lovely contrast. great deal especially if you order the half portion which is enough for lunch. also pleasant surroundings in an older building.

terrible experience. went with my wife. a waiter brought us to the back area, not main area.
the people at the area were all asian.
many kind of asian, chinese, korean and filipino but no white peoole.
they stared at us and i realized the situation.
my wife and i are japanese.
i was so disappointed and left the area right away.
when we were leaving i checked the main floor.
there were enough available seats for us and people at there were all white.

will keep coming back. i love chianti's; the staff is always so kind and professional (a few of whom have stood out to me over the past year) and the food has always been good and come out in a reasonable amount of time. if you're looking for excellent pasta and friendly service in a casual atmosphere, this is the place! also, monday and tuesday are cheap nights, which is nice!

i recently ate here as part of a group xmas party. as a group, we had the group menu which includes soup or salad, pasta entree and dessert. several of my group chose the fettuccine supremo. i've never before encountered such weird funky thick doughy noodles passed off as fettuccine. yes, i have had homemade fettuccine. the noodles were 2-3x normal thickness like noodles that are not properly cooked and have stuck together. such a shame because the sauce was pretty good otherwise. all of us except one only ate about half and didn't bother getting it to go...i know i wouldn't have eaten it later and i don't like waste. the one guy who finished his loved it however and has had it before. 1/5 people liking is pretty bad imo though and they should rethink their noodles...or don't call it fettuccine. seriously, you couldn't even roll one with a fork and had to cut it in pieces to eat it. also annoyed that the group menu only gives a choice of pasta or pasta...what gives?
otherwise the service was friendly.

excellent. wow, what a great christmas party we had (23 people).if you want amazing food,amazing service,and a beautiful atmosphere this restaurant is for you. our server was there to help us the whole evening, she always made sure that we were looked after no matter what the situation was. we were having such a good time we spent almost 3.5 hours at the restaurant and the servers kept coming back and looking after us and making sure that we were happy. even the manager stopped by so many times to make sure that everything was good,and it was amazing!! if you want a truly amazing evening for christmas party or to dine out you need to go to chianti!!!

edmonton diner. i was invited to lunch at chianti cafe in clareview; and although not a lover of pasta, i was very please with my spinach fettuccine dish. the service was great and the meals were served within a reasonable time. i would go back and recommend it to others. the bread rolls were also hot and fresh; portions were adequate.

i'm a tad salty. utensils were very dirty sent them back, soup was extremely salty making my mouth very dry and to top it off the main course was undercooked.

bread was good though.

friendly staff, awesome server. he was adorable too. delicious food. free cheesecake for birthday :)

chiantis, i’ve missed you!

enjoyed a light lunch at chianti cafe yesterday. i’ve been wanting to try this cafe/restaurant out for a few years now, but never had the time or opportunity to go, despite being in the area several times. all i can say is wow, i think i found a new favourite italian resta

i have been there a couple of times and all i have to say is: the food is great

pasta frenzy does not disappoint!
had the campesino and mediterrano. both were served piping hot and fresh within 10 minutes! amazing flavours, good service.
