Chianti

My sister and brother in-law came in from Wilmington, NC and we went with my mother to one of her neighborhood favorite restaurants, Chianti’s in Gayton Crossings. Now, it’s not fine dining but it has good food and reminds me of the neighborhood restaurant in every town in America. It’s not a chain and has been run by the same family for over 25 years. There is something charming and comforting about that.

I've been going here for at least 17 years and always enjoy my experience in the restaurant. Frank and Marta have a good place with excellent food and a complete varied menu. Service is good, friendly, polite and professional. Once you build up a routine the staff gets to know you and you become a part of the establishment. Fun, nice place to go to and look forward to going back.

Best cheese pizza in the Richmond area that my husband and I have found so far! We also enjoyed a meatball sub which was also delicious! We can’t wait to come back and try more on the menu.

The food is ALWAYS great. We've been coming here for years and there's always a crowd. The value is also really good. I think their veal Marsala is the best in town.

I'm shocked at the reviews since Covid of supposed longtime customers who say they won't come back b/c service was slow or they were placed on hold too long. Newsflash - there's still a huge shortage of workers. Also, would you rather have huge price increases and full staffing? How about some understanding and loyalty. Plus, there's always a wait so it's your loss.

The only thing that disappoints me is I waited so long to try this place. It’s cozy. The food is amazing. The drinks are strong. The servers are top notch. I love it so much.

Delicious!

We had a to-go order during the Saturday dinner rush. The order was not quite ready at the time promised, but the staff was very quick to acknowledge this as kept us updated on the final item in our order as we waited. The staff was in very high spirits and exhibited a good camaraderie which helped raise the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The patrons seemed to be enjoying their time in the restaurant and the waitstaff seemed attentive. Would highly recommend!

Got some takeout! We had eaten here once before and absolutely loved their Margherita Pizza. This time we went with Fettuccine Alfredo & their Salmon Pizza.
Creamiest Fettuccine we have ever had! Would order this again for sure.
The Salmon Pizza took some getting used too. I didn't taste the capers, and it was a little too salty. Still good though! And filling. Will be back to try more of the menu. ❤

Stopped here for the first time after picking my son up from preschool. They were pretty full except for the bar and a couple of tables. The waitress was slammed but the owner/chef waved motioned us to sit anywhere from the kitchen. He apologized and took our order. My wife ordered a gluten free pepperoni pizza w/mushrooms and peppers. I got the steak and cheese w/a side of fries for my son. The s&c was juicy and flavorful. Her pizza was very tasty and a great crust unlike other GF pizzas she's had. The Stone IPA was cold, hitting the spot with the steak. We will surely make this a weekly stop after being impressed with their service, food, and ambiance.

Chianti's was going to open at 4 today, but since I had lunch reservation and no way to contact me they opened early just for me. Food was delicious and service outstanding. Thank you for a delicious birthday lunch.

Wanted a simple, quiet lunch after a hectic morning. Chianti was just the place. The nicest server suggested a few dishes and then delivered a delicious baked marinara spaghetti accompanied by the tastiest foccocia. Just what I wanted.
Chianti is just right. Not too fancy. That perfect home Italian restaurant feel.

It is very hard to find veal parm.....for whatever reason. So we tried Chianti's because it was on their menu.....and it was fantastic. Service couldn't have been any better. Will definitely be back!!

The food was wonderful and tastes quite authentic! The kitchen was busy with to-go orders and pickup orders, but the food was plentiful and delicious... make sure to wear your elastic pants lol

I'm a New Yorker and this place was taste of home. It's very cozy and the prices are great, crust is thin and crispy. I would highly recommend this establishment

Really busy for a Wednesday night at 5:30 but service was still pretty quick and the food is always amazing. Mediterranean pizza is fantastic and so is the Annabelle salad.

This has been our favorite pizza and wing spot nearby for years, the food is delicious and the family staff are always in a good mood!

Place was packed! Food was pretty great with generous portions. Service was very good, even though they only had 3 people out front.

Very personable staff and active participation by the owners. The food was absolutely delicious with an abundant choice of wines, including a nice selection of draft beers.
We had a party of six, and we were shown a lot of personal attention by our waitress with a visit from one of the owners to say "hello" .

Favorite neighborhood place to gather. Great pizza and pasta dishes at such reasonable prices.

This was the first time we visited this place and the food was amazing! Sid was our waiter and not only did he give us amazing service, but he also was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave some great recommendations! The house wine was good and the pino noir did not disappoint. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!

A little piece of Brooklyn in the West End of Richmond. If you’re looking for authentic Italian food, look no further. Entrees are excellent, appetizers are too. Try the calamari and eggplant rollatini. Pizza is the best in Richmond, and why not? The owners are from Bensonhurst where pizza making is an art form.
