Sadly I'm dropping my rave review to a 2 star.
We have popped in every now and again over the past few years, the restaurant underwent a welcome reno, familiar faces along with new ones are almost always pleasant and cheap pasta frenzy still exists, albeit it went from $6.99 to $7.99 to currently $8.99 which really isn't a big savings when most of the pastas run about $11.
We happened to be in the area and stopped in for a carb fix, the place was practically dead for 7:00. Got seated right away and got the complimentary bread with vinegar and olive oil; it was still as delightful and fresh as I remembered it. Waiters seemed to be in good spirits and busying themselves in the bar-
Husband and kid 1 order their regular, a carciofi and spaghetti bolognese, I ventured to try something new the 'supremo'-well it was way too salty and rich and the scallops and salmon were way over cooked the entire dish ended up tasting like hotdogs! I barely finished a quarter of it and just ate the bread on the table. My other kid ordered the ravioli and he's home sick from school right now after a few vomit induced trips to the washroom.
The waiter seemed complacent and never asked how my pasta was ...so we never made a fuss- hardly worth it for $8.99.
Sadly because of this last trip, Chianti will take a back seat to other restaurants in the area.
