Editorial Review for Chianti – by Patrick Rooney

The Scene
What was once a pizza joint, is now a fairly elegant family restaurant. The charm of Chianti suffices for a couple who want a nice, reasonably priced meal of fine Italian food. But families flock because the kids can chew on pizza while the parents enjoy a well cooked Italian dinner.

The Chicken Francese ($10.95), Penne Alla Vodka ($7.50) or Fettucine Primavera ($7.50) fly out of the kitchen. The pizza and sandwiches already have a loyal following in just five months of business. The burnished wood evokes a warmth of feeling, but not a formal mood. The bread, while nothing special, is certainly competent and comes out warm. The meals are ample in size, inventive for these prices and quite tasty.

The Crowd
Young couples tasting each other's dishes, children gorging on pizza while their parents have a nice dinner.-- Patrick Rooney

The food was below par and the service really sucked. I will never go back there again I wouldn't waist your money on this place.

Pros: non

Cons: service and food

My wife and I lived in the neighborhood, and decided to stop in this restaurant. We did not know what to expect, but we are definitely glad that we stopped. It’s a simple restaurant and is not designed to be romantic. We found the food to be surprisingly good considering the ambiance (or lack there of) and the price. The waitstaff gets the job done, but will not win any awards. The only thing that keeps us from going back is that we live much farther away. We ate their several times before we moved, and have stopped by when we were in the area. I was actually considering going their today, except I found out on this site that they are closed on Sunday (today). Otherwise, I would choose this place over many of the more expensive places in Richmond.

Pros: food quality, price, speed of service

Cons: Waitstaff, location is somewhat out of the way
