Chinato is one of my Italian restaurants in town. The space is super convenient and located on E. 4th Street. It's the perfect spot to start out a night downtown. I have been here probably 20+ times and have always had great service. The wine selection is superb and the cocktails are on point.
The endless bread and olive oil with Himalayan sea salt is incredible. I could gain 10 lbs just eating the bread alone. My favorite dish (and what I get every time I come) is the gnocchi. It is phenomenal and the portion is huge. It tastes just as good reheated at home. I also always start with the tomato bread soup which is mouthwatering good. My fiance always gets a different dish every time we go and he is always pleased. Definitely check out Chinato if you have never been.
