Chianti Cafe

On Cabot Street in Beverly this little jazz club has some of the best bands around. Sure the layout is strange but it just adds to the coziness. The music volumne isn't deafening and the bartenders are providing great service.
Parking is on Cabot Street or nearby municipal lots and the walk to Chianti is interesting with window shopping and people watching.
There's even a HD TV on the wall away from the stage with live feed to the band! No misses out no matter where you sit.
The restrooms are well stocked and clean.

Live music - excellent food... its a restaurant dont let the café in the name confuse you!

Beautiful and cozy place, you can really tell the staff and owners care about what they do and provide for their customers. The waitress we had, Monique, was super friendly and incredibly helpful and knew exactly how to help us find what we wanted on the beautiful menu they had. The chef deserves just as much praise, the food is exquisite, only a seasoned artist can make plates this delicious. And I must say, congrats to the owners for having a restaurant for so many years in this town, if only we had tried this place sooner when we moved here 2 years ago.

The food here is far better than I expected: subtle, complex and sophisticated. We stopped by for dinner before a concert at the Cabot and expected okay Italian food. Instead, there were amazing pears in prosciutto, brilliant bread and tender skewered lamb. Next time, I’ll visit when I have more time and can get dessert!

I took my wife here on our first date, the night I proposed, our first anniversary, the due date of our first kid... if they don't reopen we will be devastated. Between the food and the service and the ambience with the live jazz, this is the best date night restaurant on the North Shore.

Full yummy menu open late. This is especially great in the summer when you don't want to leave the beach. Great music, no cover, no minimum. Great crowd. Not as fussy as some places where your afraid to clink your silverware. Listen in the front, talk in the back.

Chianti was suggested by locals that we met outside the Cabot Lodge upon our arrival. Great restaurant. The menu has everything to please from Italy. I had just two appetizers which was plenty of food to eat on an evening that I was not hungry. The waitress was outstanding and friendly. Great place to eat in Beverly.

a simple romantic place for a small Italian dinner. If you're looking for a night away from the kids and you don't want to spend a lot of money this is the place to go. They have a great pasta bar and the drinks are very inexpensive plus they the jazz lounge every night of the week.

I love the food, drinks are fabulous and the best part... The Jazz!! People are always warm & welcoming.

Tried this place this past Sunday night while in town with my daughter visiting colleges. Jazz singer made for a nice atmosphere but we chose to sit in the atrium which was nicely decorated with white lights. The bread and dip (similar to hummus but made with different beans) were delicious. My daughter ordered the cheese tortellini and I got the angel hair pasta, both with the Pomodoro E Crema sauce.....to DIE for! We split a dessert, the lava cake with salted caramel ice cream which were equally decadent. Easily the best Italian meal I've ever had. The hostess was very friendly and our waiter was wonderful. We didn't have to wait very long for our food either which was a huge bonus! Will definitely go back again if I'm in town.

An awesome little Italian restaurant on Cabot St! They ha e love music very frequently and a back dining room if you don't want to sit near the stage. Excellent pasta and sauces!

Great spot for a drink, meal and some jazz. Must save room for dessert....the tiramisu was out of this world!

Best tarsmisu on the planet. Welcoming, great good and music.

Consistently delicious food and desserts! Beautiful greenhouse and patio area for seasonal seating. Excellent waitstaff who are very familiar with dishes and complimentary wines or their custom cocktails.

The food is always great here and so is the music . Great place to come for a drink and relax. Everything is pricy but it doesn't take away from stars because the food is very tasty .

Try the cheese fries . Shrimp is also very stand out here .

OCTOBER 2019. Atmosphere is pleasant. Staff is attentive. Food is good!

2022 UPDATE Since covid they are only open for events. See Facebook for event calendar and tickets.. Still rocks!

Chianti mixes class, gourmet cuisine and music into one great restaurant. I fell in love with the pear martini after one sip and my only complaint was the size of the restaurant, which was taken care of when they expanded into the space next door! This is a must on my list of restaurants to frequent on the north shore.

This is a beautiful little restaurant and has some of the best jazz bands in Boston I highly recommend the rib eye steak And some of the wonderful pizza that they offer are great. It's a beautiful place.

Great food and music. We usually plan to be there when Bobby Keyes plays the last Tuesday of the month. Hope all this starts up again real soon!!!!

The jazz revival is back at Chianti with award winning Tuscan food. Rich Marino had a Dream for a class act jazz bar where you can get the finest Italian cuisine and the finest jazz music without cover charge! Early schedule Weds and Sunday eves. The musicians love to play there and jam on after hours.
