Wow! My new Italian favorite! A small, family owned vibe with the best food I have had in a long time!Four of us went and each ordered something different and each of us left with an additional meal from the leftovers. I had the sweet Marsala but instead of with steak medallions had chicken. Huge plate of food but so very flavorful! I ate more than I should have but I didn't want to stop. Didn't like the bread knots but if it's complimentary, you can't complain! Would have been better as a fluffy loaf and dip in oil and herbs and garlic. No matter what you order it all looks amazing and so I can attest to the eggplant parm, lobster ravioli and chicken parm. But that sweet Marsala is unreal-So so so delicious!!! Will be back soon!

It's always heartening when you hear about a place - through the digital "grapevine" - and it turns out to be as good as you'd hoped...maybe even a little better. The Basil Margherita 12" pie I had for lunch today was EXCELLENT. Their lunch specials - also available on the weekend - include pasta dishes and pies, including a drink (soda or iced tea), for $12.99. You cannot beat a deal THAT good these days, particularly when the food is so delicious. The cheese and gravy were really good, but that pizza dough was something special. I'll return for the penne alla vodka because it is a favorite of mine. I don't know if the pasta is homemade (my preference) but I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit to Chianti's. You will too. Bravo!

This was our first time at Chiantis and I would rate it pretty average Italian, but I'll also touch on a few things that set it apart. I have a dairy allergy (I know, going to an Italian restaurant isn't ideal for that), and our server, Arie (spelling may be wrong), was so knowledgeable and accommodating. She quickly pointed out a few dairy free dishes and made some suggestions for modifications. She also brought out garlic knots and mentioned they were not cooked with butter but rather oil and large chunks of garlic. Delicious! Even our 8 month old loved. I ended up going with the spaghetti bolognese. Portion was large but the flavors were pretty standard. My husband got the chicken parm and he said the same. A good chicken parm, nonetheless. They have a nice kids menu. My older son got the chicken tenders and French fries and buttered noodles. He loved it all! My husband took him to the bathroom at one point and said it was pretty gross and dirty in there. They may just need to do a little cleaning. Overall, 4 out of 5 stars but I'd really give it more 3.5 if I could. Not sure if we'll be back, but it was worth checking out!

This was a recommendation from a local and it was spot on! Some of the best pizza in all of Florida. Our server was top notch and had all of the good recommendations on the menu. She kept up on all of our refills and was great at his job!! Highly recommend the garlic knots!! Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a great spot for pizza and a drink.

Looking for some incredible Italian food in Sanford, look no further than Chianti's. We have visited several times as a group and the food has been wonderful each time. The dining room is small with little space between tables. Definitely not what I expected during a pandemic. The waiters are friendly although not very attentive.Be forewarned, the wine is very expensive and two glasses will run you close to twenty dollars. We had a long wait for food so we drank & debated for several glasses, surprise!Dessert is a dream. You can get the world's best cannolli here. I'm not kidding. The richest creamiest mind blowing treat around! I guarantee we will be back again!

My wife and went to Chianti's for our Christmas Eve dinner. The restaurant Is small and quaint inside. The server seemed like he could have been the manager was really awesome. We ordered a bottle of wine, and my only complaint would be I wish they had a couple more options, but I get it. The caprese salad we had was super tasty. Then my wife had eggplant parm and I went with Veal Marsala. The eggplant was crisp and then had a great red sauce. The veal, is the first veal I have had in years, was super tasty, but that Marsala was fantastic. I was full but left room for the lemon cake and a canolli to take home. They seem to have had lots of regulars coming in, and I understand.

Low key Italian restaurant in a popular shopping area. This review is specifically for their lunch. And speaking of lunch, the specials they have are excellently priced for the amount of food they give you. Huge lunch selections. That said, we went around 3pm on a Tuesday. There was only one other table and only one server working at the time. He was patient with answering questions and we didn't feel awkward or rushed. He let me order a lunch sized portion of the Chicken Piccata which wasn't on the menu. Our drinks were kept a full and he was attentive without being overbearing. The food itself is above average but not exceptional. The Chicken Piccata was hot, fresh, and very flavorful. My only issue was that the piece of chicken was very small and thin compared the the amount of pasta that came with it. This was the lunch sized portion so it may be different for dinner. My wife ordered the margarita pizza and if was one of the better ones I've had. Very fresh ingredients. All meals come with garlic rolls which are pretty average but tasty nonetheless. Overall a 5/5 for service and atmosphere and 4/5 for the food. We will back again to try dinner and some desserts. I recommend this place for anyone looking for an affordable Italian lunch.

Hey, it was ok when you're starving! I asked the server if they peel the eggplants before cooking. I ordered eggplant rolotini. Again, it was good. But the cook kept giving me dirty looks from the kitchen. It was so weird. Not to mention he looked like he should be working at Denny's. Certainly not Italian!! Don't know what his problem was but I have no desire to go back. Italian restaurants around here are such a joke and are money sucking places. $24 for eggplant rolotini is a joke compared to what it cost them. The female server was so nice. I spent $75 for 2 people, no drinks and one $14 appetizer. Left $100 on the table and left. Never go back.

We drive by this restaurant lots of time. We stopped in to try it. I was little worried when we went in. Well we got the menu $5 for a salad with a purchase of dinner. Wow better be an excellent salad. My lady order special stuff shells $29. She ask for spinach $4 extra that's a $1 a leaf. I had chicken parmigiana $19. Look like a big breast but it was on top of all the spaghetti. The food was good but pricy. $58 with tea and Pepsi.
