I love all the Chianti restaurants I've been to in the city!
one. it's super cheap
two. they give you free bread
three. it's quick
four. you get your pasta fill
it's great for a group event too.. I don't find it to be high end at all so it's great for casual get togethers or a quick lunch.
my favourite dish is the tortellini romanoff.
o.. they didnt have much of a dessert selection - none of them were very appealing
though they have good cheap wine (i know it sounds like an oxymoron but it's true) and their long island ice teas aren't too bad either.
