Very good wine selection. Service was amazing. Food was delicious. Exceeded our expectations. I felt the atmosphere totally reminded me of Tuscany. I would definitely go back to that restaurant.

Love the Brick Chicken. It is always great. Also had the Arancini appetizer - 2 risotto balls - perfect for sharing. Attentive service with great wine pairing suggestions. We will definitely be back.

Stephen Locke

Great atmosphere and good food.

Hanchester Zhulu

Overall pretty satisfied with the experience. The service was awesome, the environment was perfect, the food however wasn’t as good as I expected. The lamb was a little bit disappointed, but the pasta and the wine are just perfect. For this price range, I was hoping they could do better.

John Bryden

Fantastic meal , great service and amazing food

What is there not to love about this place. Cafe Chianti is already in Halifax for many years. First in another location than today. From the moment you enter you are treated as a real guest. This hospitality can only add to the impeccable service by the waiter. Every course the food got better and the starter was already amazing. All food is prepared fresh with love on site.we could not find one thing wrong with the food. There is enough free parking in the neighbourhood after six and all day during the weekend. This my wife's and I first visit and we certainly will return to experience bloody good deliciously fresh food.

This restaurant's owner laid off their entire staff and their head chef back in March and now they've reopened without bringing any of them back. If you've had a good experience here before you should know that the people who were responsible for that are no longer working here. Owner refused to give accurate RoEs and to pay out severance to long time employees. I will not be supporting this restaurant or any other restaurants owned by the Kenny family including Kenny's Pizza.

Karthik Bonthu

One of the best restaurants in Halifax with such a great ambience. This would be my first choice to dine in the city.

Cafe Chianti is a very good restaurant to dine in. My wife and I have eaten there several times. The portions are very generous and they taste delicious. The prices are good considering it's quite a high end restaurant. The wait staff are excellent, very courteous, prompt and attentive to our needs. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Italian food and charm. I was told that some of the pasta we ate was homemade.

Margaret Surette

Loved the food and the atmosphere. Was there for a presentation in the back room, which was a good size and private. Would have liked slightly bigger portions though.

JD Surrette

Great ceasar salad, pasta has mainly seafood

Food was great..atmosphere and the vibe on point..service was too slow...it took over 45 minutes to get our food...then we had no time to eat it as we were heading to a a Cirque de Soleil show..we had to have it for take-away:(

Lizette Sánchez

My husband surprised me on Valentine's day by taking me here and well, I gotta say I loved it. The food was delicious, the staff was really friendly and the decoration is amazing. Such a romantic place! A must visit!

Michael Hebert

Staff, food, atmosphere - all exceptional. I had the seafood chowder to start and I'm still craving my next trip back there for it. Great experience.

James Logan

Excellent food and staff make it a real pleasure to dine there, look forward to dining there again.

Mike Foley

Very nice atmosphere and delicious food. We bought a Groupon for $100 worth of food and drink for $60. This made our night even better by saving a few bucks. I'd definitely recommend the restaurant with or without the Groupon.

TH Hunter

I went again and my experience was as good or even better. My extreme compliments to ownership who came to our table to talk about our last experience, the management who remembered us as we walked in the door, servering staff who were always attentive and the kitchen who produced once again an excellent meal.

Ash-Lee Hommy

Had an amazing early Christmas supper with visiting parents. The feature was to die for and the calamari, best I have ever had.

Steven Watkins

Was here as a stop on a food tour. Very good risotto, highly recommended.

Soleil Chahine

Seriously delicious pasta. I would recommend the lobster ravioli. There are huge chunks of lobster tail in the pasta, which were cooked well. Great location downtown. Upscale atmosphere for a romantic night out. Decent wine list.

Jason Ing

I used to think that Italian food was boring and overrated even after eating at higher-end restaurants in the Toronto area. Cafe Chianti changed my mind when we visited about a year ago. I had the chicken parmigiana and was truly impressed.

Cynthia Piccott

Halifax's best place for a dinner to remember!

Dave Logan

Great place for a late dinner pizza and drink.

Toxic Unkown

This is a super fancy place (for us blue collars). A bit overpriced for the quality of food but it was all edible

We are at Chianti's at our Halifax trip with the kids. The food was amazing, the service was great. Nothing to complain about!

Katie Tetreault

The owners laid off the entire staff at the beginning of the pandemic and hired a completely new staff without telling the old staff and now the old staff is fighting to get RoE’s. I definitely won’t be visiting next time I’m in Halifax

Padraig Joyce

Amazing. The best food we've had in the city. Don't compromise, this is where you need to be.

Alexandra Curinga

I went here on my own to enjoy a nice dinner, and it did not disappoint. Great food and service. Definitely a wonderful date-night place.

Genesis Infante

Was looking/expecting for a 4/5 food place. Quite surprised of the great service and atmosphere. Even the food was very surprising good. Prices are on the higher side but I thought it was worth it in the end.

Kara Baisley

The food was so delicious, the service so friendly and helpful. We had a large party eating here last night and they did everything they could for us to make our meal perfect.

Sarah Rumley

James Lecouffe

It is a fair price for fine dining. Service was above average and it's very clean. Seafood was fresh and tasty and the servings are a good size for fine dining. Will be going back again. Only thing I good criticize is the scallops were not seared long enough but I still think it's a 5 out of 5 as it had the best seafood linguine I've had in a long time. Back again a year later, still the best fine dining in halifax. The tenderloin was to die for. Will be back again.

Gordana Kol

The best coffee

Zainab Khaliki

This is the worst restaurant I have been to, I found a piece of tin foil in my main dish and it wasn't worth the price plus the owner was really aggressive and rude.

Mona GS

Nice vibe, cozy restaurant. We dined there for birthday and enjoyed the food. It was nice that it was super close to our hotel too, short walk!

Kelly Donovan

Fantastic as usual. This place never disappoints.

Sara Rankin

Wonderful way to celebrate a special birthday!

Louis Bryant

Best Calamari in Town Hands Down!!! The 4-Cheese Garlic Bread is also extremely good! My review on Cafe Chianti is limited due to my reordering the same entree on multiple visits, but my colleagues agree and recommend the following items: Mushrooms, Bistecca(Grilled AAA strip loin of beef, Tuscan fritte, piccante aioli, veal jus), Gnocchi Sorrintina (Handmade spinach and potato pasta, pomodoro, baby spinach, smoked mozzarella). The restaurant is dimly lit and caters to a romantic evening for 2, but if you show up with a group of 3 or more, you'll be equally accommodated and probably wouldn't even notice. Wait staff is attentive, friendly, and remember you when you return to dine, but that might also be due to having a $3-400.00 tab at the end of the evening. Definitely one of the better dining experiences in Halifax.

Such a beautiful spot and the service is excellent! Most of the servers have worked there for a long time. The pasta dishes have so much flavor, you really can’t go wrong with any of them. Throughout the year they have Groupons that pop up.

Monica Stoilov

Love everything about this place. A must eat at in Halifax.

Evan Groot-Koerkamp

Absolutely amazing.

Rob and Susan MacDonnell

Again an outstanding dining experience.The waitress Kristy remembered us from five months ago...the owner visited our table and the food top notch. Loved the whole dining experience. Will be back.

Neil Fine

Food was amazing, presentation and taste. The best part was the service! I don't have enough room to describe it but I will say if you go, ask for Simone. Best server I have ever had in my life! If you are reading this Cafe Chianti...give her a raise!

Brianna rodriguez

Owner sucks

Sam Fisher

Atmosphere was fantastic. Wait staff was friendly, attentive and fast. Just a few minor issues with the food. Risotto was just slightly undercooked, but way too salty. Plating was very outdated but overall an excellent experience, would recommend!

Jeff Laufer

Jayasheela Murthy

Loved

Hilary Ann Greene

The food was very good. My husbands steak was to die for. My gnocchi was delicious. The only issue I have is that there was no change table for my daughter in the bathroom. I understand that this venue is not technically targeted for kids, but I shouldn't have to change my daughters diaper on the FLOOR of your bathroom because the sink area wasnt big enough for that either. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to someone who doesnt have kids, but if you want to bring your diaper aged kids I wouldn't recommend it.

The Winner

Our waiter was very nice and friendly. Loved the pizza.

Blossom Mendoza

Fantastic food and service! Will most definitely go back.

Breton Umlah

Such a fine place to eat in Halifax if you enjoy European fare. Very stylish in their new building as well. The wait staff are busy but are still on top of how you're enjoying your meal. The price is a little high for me, but it's worth it if you have a good reason to go. Plus they are a 5 minute walk from downtown.

J D

When I think of Chianti , I think of silence of the lambs where Hannibal lector cannibalizes his victims while drinking this wine and some nice fava beans. Luckily you don’t have to worry about that here and can enjoy some good food

Mark Nelson

Fantastic caesar salad. Deserts were also very good.

Sharon Pierre Louis

Great food and service

Penny Margolis

Steak overcooked, lobster tails dry. Very disappointing 'special'. The waitress used a photographic 'chart' to illustrate the restaurant's precise definition of medium, vs medium well. Perhaps the chef wasn't familiar with the chart?

Grant MacNeil

Isman Dullovi

Nigel McIntyre

The ambiance and decor was tacky and dated. The service was inconsistent and uncoordinated. The food was plated to look fancy, but the flavours were lackluster. Certain ingredients tasted as though they came from a package, some were just poor quality, and others seemed to be prepped and handled without care. I was highly disappointed. The experience is definitely not worth the price.

David Foster

Nice ambiance (if a bit kitsch), very well cooked and presented food, and professional wait staff. I found the food to be over seasoned however, overpowering the intrinsic flavours. For example, Dijon on lamb is a great combo, but too much Dijon masked the amazing flavour of a fine rack of lamb.

Ingrid Pinette

We love it there ...always a great meal

Alexander Rudiuk

Keon

Excellent ambiance and food was fantastic!

Skyler Becker

We had the most amazing experience! Our waiter (Andrew) was lovely and the food was exquisite. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the risotto was delicious! The chocolate torte was a great choice for dessert. It is fine dining so it's a little expensive but it's worth it. Would definitely go again!

Paul Eisner

Connor MacLeod

Megan Milner

I always enjoy my experience at this restaurant. Tonight I had their steak cooked medium rare, which was absolutely delicious. The staff are always so professional, courteous and always available to refill drinks or take your plate away when you're done. I highly recommend!!

Cool Cat Clayfield

Delicious food, but I felt like the food was pre-cooked and reheated to cut down on wait time. No juicyness. Waitress was attentive, decor not to my liking... slightly ornate.

Kristina Jensen

A little piece of Italy nestled in downtown Halifax

Wooje Choi

Great atmosphere, and the service was spot on. The waitress was friendly and made sure everything was going smoothly. The quality of the food was excellent. The filet just melts in your mouth. I would recommend getting the seafood linguine with marinara sauce. However, I found the pizza a little lackluster.

David MacDonald

Hollie Turner

Delicious meal in a cozy environment!

Shevskii 92

Laid off the staff in March and hired a completely new staff without telling the former workers they would not be coming back.

Shaun Mac

Outstanding food and service, very warm atmosphere not found in many restaurants, will definitely be a repeat customer!

Emily White

Went for a family meal here and the waiter did not give us the time of day. Took over half an hour to place a drink order and another 15 minutes to get an appetizer order in. Some of the meals were good like the haddock but the veal was not as described and we sent it back.

fizrah Gold

Great service

Yvon Roy

Greg Duncan

Just amazing

missy lavoie

If you are looking for authentic Italian, this place couldnt be more perfect. The atmosphere was romantic and eloquent, transporting me to the heart of Italy. I had the brie appetizer and the gnocchi for my entree. It was literally to die for ???? The staff were super friendly and we got our food within 20 min of sitting down. I will be going back to this place 100%

Tyler A

Adam Taylor

Great experience as always. Your staff is so attentive. Food? Absolutely not! Each dish is a masterpiece of incredible flavours. Every morsel is better than the last one. The Lamb is delicate yet powerful in flavour. Been half a dozen times, once when it was clearly beyond packed and service lacked for a minute. But when the staff knows there’s an issue, they make it right. This restaurant is one of the finest in our city! Already can’t wait until the next visit ????

Dan Sawler

My favorite restaurant in Nova Scotia.

Wonderful meal with outstanding service, true fine dining experience.

Guess Who

Service is professional, me and my friends tried several dishes on several visits like the seafood linguine, breaded chicken, tenderloin, cheesecake, calamari, overall all items tasted good, but not special, could cook the same at home, and that is what we all agreed on. The Italian cuisine offers much more variety and dishes, that could be incorporated in the menu. I hope that for my review I do not end up sleeping with the fishes

L. Carr

Delicious food! Everything I tried was excellent. The caesar was fresh and delicious, the steak perfectly cooked and the tiramisu melted in your mouth.

Margaret MacDonald

Amazing food cooked to perfection. Excellent wait staff great environment.

Appies were great. Mains were only okay-especially for $30 a piece. Lots of food. Just not super flavourful. Should have done double appies and dessert.

Elizabeth Campbell

Slow service and the pasta was awful. The chicken ans calamari were good.

My wife and I visited when our cruise ship stopped in Halifax. Only a short walk from the ship and easy to find. The dining room is beautifully decorated and very inviting. The food was excellent and very satisfying. The have a great selection of wines by the glass with the wine list hosted on an iPad. Pretty cool! I definitely would return on another trip to Halifax.

Wish I could give this restaurant 0 stars. The owners laid off their entire staff in March of 2020 during the pandemic. Just recently in June they've re-opened with entirely new staff - they even replaced the head chef. I can't imagine supporting a business that disrespects and treats their staff so poorly. The staff who worked there before the pandemic now have no jobs and cannot qualify for government assistance. This restaurant cares more about its profits than it's workers. It doesn't deserve your hard earned cash!

Hugh Dalziel

Great waiter and service. They a decent wine list, great place to eat and be able to talk and hear the conversation, food was good but not amazing given the price point.

peter barrett

Never ate there but just saw they sponsored a Christmas dinner at a community kitchen in halifax. Good on you guys!

Mirjana Stevanovic

Amazing food, amazing staff and ambience.

Fouad Tawakol

Yord Frankfurt

The owner laid off all their entire staff in March of the first lockdown and didn't rehire any of the original staff for what I can only assume monetary gain. Don't eat here because they don't respect their employees. If you sift through all the "atmosphere" reviews, you can see the ones that actually depict how badly the previous staff were treated. Don't let this go unoticed.

Neil Autton

Excellent food in a very nice setting. The staff were amazing! Never felt rushed, wonderfully friendly, and juat great service.

Ensley Harris

Wonderful food and atmosphere!

Sara Miller

We had a beautiful evening at Cafe Chianti and can't wait to go back! The service was excellent, the food was incredible. We had a variety of dishes ... seafood linguine, manicotti, caesar salad, beet salad, olives (these were amazing!) and the cheese toast. Everything was fantastic. They even acknowledged our anniversary with glasses of champagne, a wonderful touch. Two things really stood out for me... first, the owner (I think?) was on hand and supporting his staff. This is rare these days but it tells you they have a vested interest in their restaurant, I appreciate that. And second, the next time we visit we can order a whole different assortment of dishes. The menu has a lot to offer. Far too often you look at a menu and they have a handful of signature dishes and not much else. Not here... the whole menu is well stocked. We're already talking about what we'll try next! Try the olives... trust me.

Bill Haley

Our meal was delicious and the service was top notch. Will definitely be back !!!

Michael Moakler

The food was well prepared and presented the staff were lovely and fun to talk to and the ambiance and the comfy seating were awesome I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Cafe Chianti...halifax. Our family so enjoyed your very excellent service last week. It was so positive and delicious, server was so right on! Thank you again. We will be back for more Ravioli!

Jim Wallace

Very nice Italian restaurant in downtown Halifax. Excellent ravioli; tasty appetizers, and a good wine list. Excellent service. Will go again.

Andrew D

Okay, but over-rated and over priced. The presentation is very nice, as is the service and atmosphere. It's a great place for dates or intimate dinner with friends. However, there were some very obvious and avoidable errors with some of the dishes. I had the duck, which was very nicely done at medium rare. The vegetables, too, we're very nice. The risotto was under done with crunchy bits throughout. Not what I would expect from a higher end Italian place. The spaghetti seafood had fresh seafood, but mushy, not fresh (pre-cooked) pasta. A disappointment at, again, a higher end Italian restaurant. The brick chicken dish had good chicken--moist and flavorful. However, the potato accompaniment was bland, without seasoning and totally tasteless. It seemed like a warmed over dish from a day or two ago. Not good, especially for a... well, you know the rest. Dessert! Yay! The lemon cheesecake was dry and had an artificial after taste. The flourless chocolate cake and the cheesecake were drizzled with a chocolate sauce that can only be identified as Hersheys syrup. Yes, Hersheys syrup, straight up. Finally, the creme brule lacked the smooth consistency of homemade, and was more like that of a mix from a box. Not good. Green tea was a local store brand, President's Choice. Although I'm sure the store brand is of the highest quality, it's not what I would expect at a fine dining establishment. I could go on about the mediocre appetizers, but if you've read this far, you have the idea. Overall, the chef is 'phoning it in' at this place, and not living up to the prices or atmosphere. My advice, savvy diner, is to lay your money and expectations elsewhere.

Jamie Ward

Had a reservation last night for 7pm, managed to be seated right away. Ordered Lobster Ravioli, which to be honest was very tasty. The issue I had was it didn't show up until 8:40 pm, and rather a small portion. After we left we had to make a stop for McDonald's on the way home

Cassy Archibald

Amazing food, excellent service. One of my favorite restaurants in Halifax.

Steve Jennex

Our group's reservation was for 7:15 pm. We finally were served our meals around 9, and in the time between sitting down and finally (finally) getting what we ordered, it was a struggle to get a couple of baskets of bread for the table and some wine. Ridiculously small portions that seem over-priced and the atmosphere of a bus station: that was our experience. Lots of other places to go.

I honestly left out of this place feeling unpleased, there was a gentleman going around greeting tables, not sure if it was the owner, I believe his name was Roger. I watched him as he went back and forth, sometimes a third time to EACH table except OURS. Laughing, offering a glass of wine etc. our table was skipped and overlooked by Roger several times. The tables he circled and spoiled were all white folks as our table that was not receiving that same attention were not. pretty darn obvious of the favoritism that was shown. We felt unwelcomed, neglected, and confused. It is heart broken to experience this especially in these times. Most definitely will not be returning as these feelings will forever stick with us.

Peter Soliman

Food was delicious, staff was friendly. Highly recommend

The first time we made a reservation, when we arrived, the front woman told us to wait about an hour. Wonder what was the point of making a reservation. The second time, even though we didn’t want to go again, we had to use our Groupon, so we were trying to make a reservation, but the phone kept saying there were no room to leave a message, but went to try if they would have any seating available. It was empty, so we got seated quickly. The server was attentive, but we had to wait for our main for a while. There were only 2 tables including us. I noticed the server was outside for a while, and as soon as he came back from outside, the main came, with the plates super hot. It looked like the main were sitting for a long time. The pasta was soggy on the bottom and the both pasta and the fish were so so. Not much taste. Overall, we felt like this place needs a better management. Too pricey for what you get. Pretty disappointing experiences.
