chianti cafe

good dinner. great portion size.servicewas ok.

went there today for a quick dinner, and everything was great. theservicewas great and the food came out very fast and it was hot and delicious. i ordered the penne campesino and the server, taylor, was helpful and happy to accomodate my substitutions. overall a great experience and i will be back very soon.

great service, would go again. this is a bit overdue but went to chianti's last year to take advantage of their tuesday specials for my birthday.servicewas great, and they let us stay for half an hour more to play board games.

overall greatserviceand great food. would go again this year.

excellent pasta. i really enjoyed the tortellini pasta dish i ordered - very tasty cream sauce with a bit of spice to it... exactly what i was hoping for! theservicewas friendly and prompt, and the food came out quickly. i will definitely be back.

april2018 -first time here, theservicewas on point. deep fried zucchini, lacked flavour, mushy and overly soggy.. defiantly not golden brown or crispy. pasta wasn't anything special...

experienced chianti for lunch for their pasta tuesday special. i was able to pick a pasta and the sauce. i chose the cheese ravioli with a curry sauce.

the meal started with a fresh warm roll. soon after the drinks were served my caesar salad appeared. i was offered freshly grated parmesan cheese to top my salad. very tasty, one of the best i've had.

it wasn't log after finishing my salad that the huge plate of my pasta choice was delivered. again the parmesan cheese was offered. it was good that i was hungry as i don't think i could of finished the whole plate!

food was terrific,servicewas friendly and fast, the atmosphere enjoyable...all-in-all, a great meal!

came here with some colleagues after work last week. despite having the restaurant practically to ourselvesservicewas slow. on the upside, food isn't very expensive. i'd recommend sticking to the pasta menu which will give you the best bang for your buck. its not going to blow you away but i'll come back some day.

have not been to this restaurant in years, once inside it appears to be the same, still comfy.serviceis friendly, chatty and took care of us quite well. for starters the wine selection is pretty good.
on to dinner.. bruschetta and mozza appetizers. not great, bruschetta is missing garlic and the baked mozza and its sauce are both a little disappointing. main courses of lasagna and gorgonzola ravioli. lasagna has great flavor and is loaded with meat, the ravioli really taste of gorgonzola both served with warm buns.
the food is pretty good here but theserviceand value are great.

i keep coming here year after year when i bring my junior high band students to edmonton for band festival. theserviceis excellent--even with a large group of teenagers. they go beyond just serving and make an effort to engage the students and make the smile! the food is good although the portion sizes are so generous that most of the group cannot finish! i am a bit disappointed in their bread--although it's was obviously fresh and hot out of the oven, it just isn't the quality it used to be. (or maybe it was just the calgary crowfoot location that had such bread.). also, the olive oil and balsamic vinegar is gone as well :( still love the pasta though and they are so flexible with "tweaking" the menu items to accommodate the customer.

nice ambiance, andservicewas 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

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 friendlyservicein 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 theservicewas friendly.

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. theservicewas 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.

tasty. the food was tasty and a good portion size.
theservicewas slow and terrible.

great place. awesomeserviceand delicious food.
