            Once again, it was a wonderful experience at Chianti. The food is very good, the marinara sauce is delicious, the wine list has plenty of good choices and is very reasonable and the people are very nice. Been going there for years and I can honestly say I always had a good experience and very good meals. They do a really good job hiring the staff there. The wait staff has always been very friendly, attentive and helpful. Has the feel of an old-time, NY family Italian restaurant. This falls under the category of hidden gem! Would highly recommend it.

            We were greeted nicely seated promptly after our reservation confirmed. The seating area is nice, tables set apart. Our server was very nice and did a good job. The food was very good. Crab cakes crispy and tasty. I had the chicken piccata and the meat was tender but the sauce was more creamy and thicker than is my preference. I didn’t taste much lemon but there were plenty of capers. My wife had the pomodoro pasta and was quite pleased with that. Overall a pleasant experience.

            Food and service was great. Will definitely go back. Noise level is strangely high for a small place.
