Chianti is cozy, delicious, reasonable and familiar. I have my "regular" dish too. I always order the same thing. Yes I try to deviate, but I always go back to my tried-and-true. Monte Mari, it's a Parmesan cream sauce with scallops, peas and mushrooms. I let the waiter sweat it out for a bit while he's turning the Parmesan grater over my dish. If he stops I give him a disapproving look.
Plus they always bring me Tabasco here. If they didn't do that this place would be a dealbreaker because Tabasco for me is like salt for other people. Especially for pasta.
The gnocchi looks awesome. The ravioli looks amazing. I've tried appetizers, desserts, drinks, seafood and salad here. Everything is good. I've gone for lunch and dinner. I've been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years. The staff is friendly, efficient and attentive.
It's good. It's heavy. So if you're trying to eat for abs or you are in some kind of fitness training understand these are serious carbs. Seriously good carbs. Fantastic carbs.
