Il Chianti Italian

Phenomenal! Amazing food, atmosphere, the check if super friendly, and we loved the food so much that he catered my wedding reception AND I went there for my birthday dinner! Chef Rudy was attentive, easy to work with, and able to cater to a very picky and particular set of foodies when it came to my mom and husband. They both wanted light bites and options for all the guests as appetizers before we had our actual dinner portion. We settled on surf and turf for the wedding, with multiple options like shrimp bruschetta, salmon and ribeye, calamari, pork belly lettuce wraps, signature salad, spaghetti and meatballs, seafood linguini, salmon and asparagus/veggies, and of course, Tiramisu.None of the dishes were a disappointment. The meat was tender and not overcooked, salmon was fall of the fork good/tender, the shrimp bruschetta and linguini very flavorful, and the spaghetti and meatballs were most enjoyable.I love Tiramisu and can stand by this one. Legit with the ladyfingers and everything. I cannot wait to go back to this spot! Worth the drive to this part of town!!

I really had forgotten how great this place is!!It's a cute small little spot in Henderson. Decorated invitingly. You can make a reservation or not. They're very friendly. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately as we had come kind of early. Our waitress was so nice. We opted on their shrimp bruschetta to start which came with a fantastic salad. The dressing was so good! The dish was fantastic itself. They have fresh delicious warm bread. We also had the fettuccini Alfredo. Again so delicious!! I definitely have to remember this spot (it is a little out of the way for me, but worth the drive.) Definitely give this place a try! They really do have some fantastic food!! Ready to go back and try some other things!!

The food is a bit on the high side for pasta but they do a pretty good job. They have nights where they haul out the big Parmesan wheel and torch it then toss your pasta in there to cheese it up. This last visit was one of those nights. Mom was paying since it was for our birthdays and anniversary. I thought she was going to have a coronary. There were probably many too many appetizers purchased and if they offer family style salad say no we paid 40 for two salads that were not family sized. The calamari was outstanding though. Good wine selection. Definitely be back just will be careful on the ordering

We came here for dinner for the first time this weekend. It was fairly easy to call and get a reservation for the same night. Everyone there was super friendly, including Chef Rudy who came out and greeted every table! All of the dishes were delicious, and the complimentary bread basket was so good that we decided to order another basket. We'll be back for sure!

I came across this Italian restaurant on Yelp. It had good reviews and the food looked amazing. I started with a glass of sangria, which tasted wonderful. I then ordered the grilled calamari, artichoke and spinach bruschetta on crusted bread, linguine with clams and orange roughy with risotto.The calamari was cooked perfectly. It was served in a brown sauce, which was phenomenal. I've had calamari in the past, but never served like this. Without question, this by far was the best calamari I've ever had and I've had calamari in many different countries around the world. The sauce truly elevated this dish.The linguine and clams & the orange roughy with risotto were cooked and seasoned well. Both dishes had good flavor and tasted great. The portion sizes were adequate and each dish was priced accordingly.The Chef/owner (Rudy), stopped by the table, introduced himself and inquired about my meal. This is something often not seen in restaurants but when it does happen, it speaks volumes on the importance the establishment places on immediate (real time), customer feedback. The restaurant has an old school Italian vibe with photographs and other memorabilia affixed to the walls. The wooden paneling coupled with the dark burgundy walls makes for a good combination. The staff is very familiar with the menu and will offer recommendations on some customer favorites.I would definitely recommend this spot should you be craving Italian food in the Henderson area.

Update: we had dinner with friends on a weeknight. The restaurant was much busier than our first visit and the service was not as timely. While we reordered the Lobster Bisque and had a Ceasar salad which were both very good, we weren't as happy with our entrees this time around. One of our friends barely ate her dinner as she didn't care for it. We ordered Fettuccine Alfredo, Linguine all's Vongole, Linguine all's Mediterranean and a Fettuccine Al Funghi. I am sorry this visit came out this way as we really wanted to love this restaurant. I am hoping that maybe it was an off night and another visit will show us a better time.

Great meal! Took the advice on the specials and the Calamari and it was a great choice. Service was quick and attentive. A little strip mall looking but we are definitely going back.

If I could give 4.5 I would. Found this restaurant for my mother's 80th birthday. I also had flowers delivered and they were very nice and placed the flowers on the table for when we arrived. I love that it is family owned. I made a reservation at 6pm for 6 on a Friday night. It was fairly busy and got busier as the night went on. I think their AC was broken or at least part of it was as it was pretty warm inside. We were all warm and it got much warmer once our food arrived. Our server did not say anything about it either. They had two big floor fans set up in the hallway facing into the dining area. We did not let that ruin the evening though and the food was very good. We ordered the following.Arancini - very cheesy and huge! They come with 3 balls but they are big and you can def share them. Fettuccini- creamy and buttery yet light. Lamb chops with risotto- pretty decadent and a good portion. Cioppino - I added lobster but the seafood (clams, mussels, squid and salmon) was an abundant and cooked perfectly. The broth was a bit thicker but tasty. They gave her the famous creme brûlée cheesecake and oh my it was good. There were 6 of us and we ordered 2 bottles of wine and the bill was VERY reasonable. We will definitely return but hopefully the AC is working better.

This place is fantastic, we've been several times and I forget to take a photo of our food to accompany a review, but hey...isn't that a sign you're living in the moment enjoying yourself? Chef Rudy has come to the table every time we've visited and is always a pleasure to talk to. The calamari is ethereal...it's not fried and the flavor is to die for. We washed it down with chicken saltimboca which was equally divine. A bit "pricey" by some standards, but you're getting quality dishes that'll leave a lasting impression on you.

I can't say enough about how incredible Il Chianti is! We first discovered this amazing Italian restaurant through Grubhub, and it quickly became our go-to for delivery. The food always arrived fresh, hot, and packed with authentic flavors that made us feel like we were dining in Italy itself. Every dish was better than the last, and we found ourselves eagerly awaiting the next delivery.We finally decided to visit in person, and WOW -- it exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the service is exceptional, and the food? Absolutely next level. Honestly, we've had Italian in Italy, and this place somehow does it even better. From the rich pasta dishes to the melt-in-your-mouth desserts, every bite is perfection. The staff is so friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about making your experience memorable.If you're in the Las Vegas/Henderson area and craving top-tier Italian, Il Chianti is a must. It's officially our favorite Italian restaurant in the area, and we can't wait to go back! Highly, highly recommend!
