Chianti Italiano - Sarasota

Very good food. Even though they were short staffed that evening, they went out of their way to make things enjoyable.

Excellent authentic food, living in Sarasota I’d keep away from tourist locations because a place like Chianti has superb food, service and they cater to their guest.

Great staff service. Fish was bad, smelling tasting rancid, had to dispose of it. 2 of 4 had fish. The other 2 dishes were fine.

This is a great little Italian restaurant. We could mix and match entrees, salad and sides to get exactly what we wanted for a perfect meal with pasta vegetables, meatballs and salad. Tables, booths, hightops, bar. All great. And, Bill was a great waiter and bar tender. We will be back many times.

We had a surprise birthday party in the back room and the food and service were amazing. The staff was attentive without being intrusive. Every appetizer, drink and main course were served hot and fresh. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is laid back Italian. I highly recommend Chianti Ristorante if you are craving Italian food.
