| - I love pasta, I love it even more when it's on special. And at Chianti's, they do $8.99 pasta Sunday-Tuesday so it's a perfect love affair.
Looking for something quick on a Tuesday before heading to an appointment, my sister and I headed here. And even though it was one of their busier night, we weren't left in the lobby starving for 45 mins *cough* Olive Garden *cough*
There is a lot to read through on their menu, from salads to soups, to all of their different pasta dishes and then their specials board. I went with the penne campesino (sundried tomato, pineapple and chicken in a curry cream sauce), my sister ordered the smoked salmon and seafood linguine and we ordered a chorizo sausage & spinach fettuccine to go for our dad.
My pasta was great, the sweetness of the pineapple and the yellow curry gave the sauce a different take than a traditional cream sauce. I'm not a fan of smoked salmon so I didn't try my sister's dish but she said it was equally as delicious as mine so I'll take her word for it. Our take out came just as we finished settling the bill, which I really appreciated. I've had instances where your take out comes your dine-in meal comes out and you end up taking cold food to someone or they forget and now you're waiting another 20 mins for them to make it.
Chianti's focus is quality food, and I always get good service whenever I go there. I'd choose Chianti's over the other mainstream Italian places that seem pretentious, sometimes pricier doesn't always mean better.
