Probably the best overall Italian restaurant when it comes to menu, friendly atmosphere and price, bar none! Located at 3900 Clark Road in an obscure professional business center, Chianti's is an Italian lover's favorite. The food is excellent, the wait staff is un-paralleled and prices are very reasonable.
The menu is quite extensive and includes daily specials. Tuesday is Lobster Night that includes a whole Maine lobster, soup or salad, veggies, potatoes and warm Chianti bread. At $19.95 it's a great deal. If you are able to get there early enough to be seated between 4PM and 530PM any night, they have a three course early bird special that includes many of our favorite dishes, again for only $19.95.
Check out some of the favorite meals we have had there off the regular menu:
Chicken Marsala is always a fan favorite. The marsala sauce is thick and incredibly rich in flavor. So rich in fact, that you think you are drinking marsala wine by the glass!
If you prefer piccata sauce, try it with chicken or the veal shown below. You can hear the chef tenderizing the veal before you even walk in the door!

Can you see how big these meatballs are? Well, you wont believe how big they are in taste too! Your choice in pasta. When someone talks about a "meat lovers special", this is what they are referring to.
The rack of lamb is my favorite. Skip the sharp knife! You wont need one. And while Mary had a little lamb, you won't have a little lamb portion at Chianti's.
Try the minestrone soup. You wont find any better.
Make sure you leave room (if possible ) for dessert. Sarasota Magazine raves about the bread pudding made from fresh croissants topped with rich vanilla ice cream. You will rave too!

Overall, a great place to dine!
