Chianti Cafe - Edmonton, Alberta

It feels like the taste is a bit bland for Asians, and after eating, there isn't a sense of satisfaction, of course, when I say satisfaction, I mean psychologically, the portion size is still sufficient. One bowl of noodles can make you feel full.

My family and I went here for for an early dinner. The drinks, service and atmosphere were very good. The food on the other hand wasn't the greatest. The pasta was okay, the calamari rings were a bit chewy and lightly too breaded. And the breaded cheese could have been ... hotter. Read more

We wanted a nice Sunday lunch and love this place for their homemade pasta and yummy bread. They have different pasta sauces that you won’t find in any other Italian restaurant which I really appreciate. You can try different pasta dish every time you visit. You can also do a half ... order of most of the dishes and maybe that way you can try more. We started with their complimentary bread. It came out hot and we had to order a second round because it was that good. Next was the Zucchini Fritti and Mozzarella in Carroza. It was gone so fast so we didn’t have any pictures. The sauce for both is so yummy. I preferred the zucchini in the end. For entrees, we ordered: Vitello con Funghi - this is my go-to dish. The veal and mushroom sauce is so delicious. The meat is tender and just melts in your mouth. You can pair this with spaghetti if you want for additional coat. Lasagna Al Forno - this one was really good and quite big. Very meaty and the pasta was nice and thin that it didn’t over power the meat. Gnocchi Pomodoro - It was nice, soft and chewy. The tomato sauce kept a good flavor throughout the whole meal. Fusilli Giardiniera Con Pollo - this was my husband’s and I had to steal some from his plate. lol. It was quite tasty and fresh. I wanted to try their crème caramel for dessert but they run out of it. We did try the this cooked strawberry on ice cream and that was quite good that I’m glad we tried it. If you love Italian food, you’ve got to try this place. Read more

Cute place, charming atmosphere, no issues with staff, however, the food was really bland and just not great overall. I did like the shrimp appetizer but its a little expensive for 6 pieces of shrimp. Rest of the food was under seasoned, slightly overcooked pasta and when I asked what ... the onion soup would taste like, the server had no idea. Read more
