Chianti Kirkland in Kirkland

Weve been here at least 7-8 times and its ALWAYS wonderful food and excellent service!

Very good food and very good service from Alfredo, the prices are affordable. Super recommended

Very rich food!

If you are not white you are not welcome Extremely disappointed The Lady was so rude with us she ignored us And didn t even give us the menu as we have been waiting for a long time. So we just left.

Great, delicious food friendly stuff

We ordered a very expensive salmon meal with vegetables and it was incredibly over salted. They used a sauce that was too salty and they covered both vegetables and salmon with it. For some reason the price for that meal wasnt mentioned on the menu either. Another thing we ordered was a rib eye steak that had a weird looking mushroom sauce on top - very unappetizing looking and tasting.

Awesome place to get dinner with family!

Amazing food, perfect portions, great staff. Priced good. Highly recommend

Great food and service Cindy and cozy

Food is greate, service is on top!

As an Italian who wants to eat things that make them feel like theyre in Italy, this really hits the spot. No where else do I feel more comfortable to get a fantastic plate of food.

I loved my carbonara at Chianti and my wine was the kind I could accidentally drink a whole bottle. I took a star away since my husbands clams had some sand, but I would absolutely come back in a heartbeat! They were having a party inside and had very little seating. They offered us a table outside and got a heater out for our table, I was very happy with our service.

I dont usually write reviews of places, even if the experience wasnt good...but this was pretty disappointing. The waiter sat us outside and never came to check on us, after our appetizers or entree. We had to go inside to ask for extra things like parmesan, salt,pepper. The food itself was a let down. The eggplant parm had no flavor and was super soggy. And my pasta was nothing special, Ive made better sauce at home. And the biggest let down was my boyfriends gondola. The dough inside was raw and there was way too much cheese, and the eggs on top were undercooked -raw egg white. :(

TL:DR - Second rate in any world. The only draw should be that it is close to a parking lot that is near the water. Chianti is to Olive Garden what The Ram is to Red Robin. Its a conceptual step up that isnt perceptable if you actually pay attention. The food was okay, the prices were debatably bad, and the space was like corporate housing. It might be worth the trip if your legs are broken but Paradiso is just a few steps away. Parking: The day and walking distance will determine your parking options but the location itself has a direct view of a paid lot. Wheelchair accessibility: Technically it is but practically it may be difficult.

We have been coming to this restaurant for so many years, never have I been dissatisfied. Even through post Covid, we knew they were struggling with staff, owners always tried their best to accommodate. I have gluten Allergies and once they greet me the cook Mauricio knows exactly what I will order and makes my Bolognese amazing. We will continue to support them.

Chianti is a wonderful place to eat if you are in Downtown Kirkland it is a must stop place, with delicious Italian cuisine I love this place and come here all the time for birthdays, events or just for fun 10/10 would recommend

After being seated, we waited over 10 minutes and no one checked on us or took our order, we had to flag down a waiter. The food took an hour to come out, and the waiter never came by to check on us. The inside was very loud and others nearby were also left waiting for long periods of time

Loud unable to have a conversation. Food was bland and it took way too long to get service

Chianti Restaurant: A Serendipitous Italian Gem in Kirkland Chianti Restaurant in Kirkland turned an ordinary evening into a delightful birthday celebration. What started as a chance encounter became a culinary journey through authentic Italian flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The owners Italian roots were evident in every detail, from the charming ambience to the carefully curated music. We ventured in during happy hour, making the experience even more enjoyable as we explored a variety of dishes at accessible prices. While Chianti can be a bit on the pricier side outside of happy hour, the quality of the food justifies every penny. The menu offers a true taste of Italy, and we indulged in dishes that left our taste buds dancing with joy. The spaghetti puttanesca and spaghetti Rosso were both exquisite, and my husbands calzone with two fried eggs was a unique and delicious surprise. The attentive service and the outstanding culinary offerings at Chianti make it a standout choice for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience. If youre willing to splurge a little for quality, Chianti is well worth the visit. Our impromptu decision to dine there turned out to be one of the best birthday surprises. Grazie, Chianti, for a memorable evening filled with fantastic flavors!

we have been waiting here for an hour on valentine s day and we still have NO FOOD!! it took us 30 minutes for her to even take our order. i am sitting in the booth as i write this. me and my date are starving here. it s a damn fixed menu and still can t even get any damn food.

What details? Ruined a Valentines dinner for my son and his GF. Took an hour for anyone to pay attention to them. They left. They were paying customers even at 17. NEVER will recommend them. Kid-friendliness: NOT KID FRIENDLY

Excellent

I went yesterday and the service was so disappointing. I waited 40 mins and the food never came out. At least offer some bread and butter to customers if the food is going to take THAT long. And in between that, we barely saw the server and prob refilled water once. The atmosphere is vibey tho.

Expensive and disappointing. There s absolutely nothing I can recommend about this place.

The food is average, but the servers are incompetent: 1) Our waitress got two drink orders wrong 2) Our waitress got two of the food orders wrong 3) Our waitress charged our credit card for the wrong table and had to void the charge 4) Our waitress duplicated the drinks on the bill so it was wrong 5) Our waitress fixed the bill but the the credit card was declined from voiding so many incorrect charges One of the worst dining experiences I ve ever had - would not recommend. Save your money and go to Ristorante Paradiso instead!

Upscale authentic Italian food in a cozy atmosphere. The food is thoughtfully put together. The serving staff does a wonderful job, even when restaurant is busy; making sure we were well taken care of and making recommendations when needed. We will be back. Parking: City of Kirkland parking lot right outside the door.

Came in lunch on Sunday. Room was cold service was good, but food came out too long & theres was only total 6 customers in restaurants, didnt realize only offer lunch menu was looking 4 full menu .... loves the fresh HOT breads & dry tomatoes garlic sauce. Dishes was Luke warm, meatballs was litter bit burned.

Good place, sometimes their is live music in the place next door. We like it because it is a laid back place where our kids can enjoy themselves as well as we can

We went for dinner and the food was average. 20% gratuity was added by default for a table of 4. We asked them to remove meat from a pasta and instead add veggies. This was added as 10$ additional charge for a side of veggies and failed to state this explicitly at the time of order. This definitely seemed overpriced and unfriendly for vegetarians diners.

This is the best Italian restaurant in downtown Kirkland.

2 stars is being generous. Let s see, where to start. They brought us one water and never refilled it. We had to ask for napkins which were never on the table. Our veggies were undercooked and even though we kindly asked for them to cook them some more, they forgot until the meal was over. Never brought bread, never asked if we wanted Parmesan on our food, and this is supposedly an Italian restaurant. Worst part, went to the restroom and their soap dispenser was broken, all they had was an old water bottle that someone put some dish soap and a little water in, and that was down to just a few drops. I told the manager there was no soap in the mens restroom, and he acted surprised despite the fact that the actual machine was broken and he knew. What is gross is that the cooks and waiters use that same bathroom .let that sink in. Not to mention the service was horrible. Do not waste your money on this restaurant, none of the workers take pride in the place, and it is a total disaster.

the location is grey but the food was not great at all. the bruschetta had some weird paste on it and the gnocchi had some odd tasting onions.

A pleasure to be in downtown Kirkland. It makes any food taste good. Our pizza--the Ferrari -- was really good. Much like Italy but with more toppings. The calamari was tender, olives good, but I wasnt wild about the tomato based sauce it was in. Similar flavor to the sauce for bread. Very sun-dried tomato flavored. Slightly bitter with a tomato paste and sun-dried tomato texture. More garlic? Onion? needed. Likely paired well with wine. Maybe thats why the waiter gave us a dirty look when we didnt order any. No water refill. Good service beyond that. Lovely place.

Great location and good food. Have eaten there dozen or so times and service is consistently slow. Not sure if its the staffing or a training/management issue but have experiences this literally every time we ve visited. Last time I cleaned the patio table myself so we can sit down after waiting 15 minutes to be greeted and seated. We quit going there.

We were disappointed but the quality and taste of the food here. It is definitely not an authentic Italian cuisine but even putting that aside, the food was not that tasty or good. We tried pasta, chicken Parmesan, bruschetta, Caesar salad and pizza and all were disappointing. The service was also not that great as they seem to be short in staff. Overall, ok place if you don t expect too much but given the pricing, we won t be going back and do not recommend it.

The gnocchi and the marsala chicken are fantastic. Good value for the price and location is great. Its nice they are open late

Brunch/breakfast service just started but I can t recommend it. Service was slow despite being one of only a few tables there, breakfast was served to the entire table save one person who had to wait an additional ~10 minutes for their food. Food was okay, the avocado on my dish was incredibly unripe and inedible.

Great italian food at a great location

Food is delicious, prices affordable,

Unfortunately I waited an hour for a specific table, and it was given to someone else who just walked in. No communication within the staff and very disorganized.

Good food, my husband wanted to eat Hachapuri (GEORGIAN ATZHARSKIY GONDOLA ) We were able to get the table right away( Saturday night) which was a big plus.

What a cute little bistro-type restaurant in Kirkland. Being from the East Coast where Italian food is aplenty & quite tasty, my standards are high. Chianti blew me away. The Lobster Ravioli was so creamy. The calamari was delicious & not too chewy. Portion size was excellent. Did I mention the bread... Oh the bread. This place is a gem. Highly recommend.

Very Nice food something diferent but the best pizza in all USA try the pizza peperoni, pizza Ferrari,chiken marsalla the best plates

Was there for my friends birthday and had a great time. The food was very good and also the service was great. I would definitely recommend it.

Service and the food is exceptional, highly recommended. They made our experience unforgettable . Can t wait to be back .

Was there with family and friends for my birthday and we had an amazing experience. Food was delicious and the service was on great. We will be back soon. Thank you Chianti.

Went here specifically because they had Gluten Free options. We both ordered GF and my sister who requires GF got extremely ill after eating there. Dietary restrictions: If you advertise for GF we should be able trust it is! Very disappointing and messed up our weekend.

Food and service amazing! Recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Perfect Food

We are visiting from Montana and this was some of the best authentic Italian food I ve had. I come from an Italian family and it reminded me of dinner at my grandparents house. In addition, the service was absolutely amazing. We were constantly checked on and taken care of in a timely manner. Highly recommend.

Great food and great service, we had a wonderful time. Thank you so much Chianti we will definitely be back soon.

Food was delicious!

Very good service and food.

I love the place, I was fascinated by the atmosphere and how fast they are

Excellent place

Horrible experience

Not Italian by any means. Feels like Costco pre-packed meals. Bruschetta isn t toasted. No flavor!

Always have a great time here! Friendly staff, great service and amazing food.

The food is ok and the service was good. But they really need to fix the decor! Walls of fake plants and a mish-mash of everything! The location is so nice, it seems like they could do so much with that space. A couple of people in my group wont go back because it is so tacky!

Our family s favorite Italian restaurant in Kirkland

I have never written a review before. This experience was a much needed review. We went to dinner for a birthday, the waiter was extremely rude, not even sure he smiled or said anything to us. The food itself was terrible. We ordered 6 different plates, and not 1 of us took more than a couple bites. The food was dry and very bland. On top of all this, my drink had some slime object floating in it, they finally brought us bread 25 mins later to only find a big green piece of slime in the basket of bread. I would not recommed this restaurant. I take in consideration that sometimes things happen, but our experience was not a one off. We were reading reviews as we sat there to see some of the same issues with others. Its a great location but the service and food needs some serious improvement.

Super cute decor, super bland food. Focaccia is actually pizza dough, Gorgonzola pasta had no Gorgonzola flavor and served with a random bland red sauce pasta to further delete any flavor.. Cuts of chicken were really odd, breast meat but in a haphazard non organic/chicken breast shape. Carbonara has cream sauce in it. Really nothing is as advertised, the whole menu is really bland butter noodles or bland pizza dough.

great pizzeria.Everyone liked it and everyone was happy

Worst dining experience to date in Kirkland. Terrible table service and had to ask three times for bread. Meal came out incorrectly and then when correct had hair in it. I stopped when I saw it and when I politely mentioned to the server (ALEX) he told me not to make such accusations and people loose hair in the kitchen. When I stated I was not happy, he responded then do not come back. Happily will never ever dine here again and if you want quality food and service, strongly advice you all to avoid too. Wish I could rate zero star but cannot to post this.. (also, a photographer was taking pictures throughout the restaurant without any authority from restaurant guests. I asked to not be shown or associated. No communication or authority was given to dine in guests)

Well I was there yesterday evening about: 7:00 p.m. . Service was just okay ran out of water twice and instead of them making sure water was full I had to ask them for water. Secondly I ordered pizza that was $23 and the pizza was good but they threw the mushrooms on top uncooked. Ive never been at a pizza place where the mushrooms are not cooked. Yes they were raw put directly on top of the pizza as if they forgot to cook them with the pizza in the pizza oven. And thirdly the menus were really greasy and grimy as if they hadnt been cleaned and sometime. Anyways very disappointed with this place definitely wont be back again.

Appetizers were ok bu the pizza was very disappointing: menu said prosciutto and fhungi , and we got basic ham with mushrooms cooked dry on top, even the dough was bland and looked industrial.

What a horrible experience. I should have gone to ristaurante paradiso. This place is a waste of time. Ordered my food, and waited even past the pick up time, and these people seemed like they didn t know what online ordering was. Go elsewhere! They also don t give you water! We also had to wait 30 minutes after our order was said to be complete! Go elsewhere!

These guys always give us 5 star service, the location is right on the lake, and the food is fantastic

Lovely experience. They easily took care of our large party of 8. Wonderful appetizers, drinks and entrees. Service was excellent. Lorenzo took great care of us. Thank you!

Was greeted right away by a fairly nice waiter. I asked if I could sit outside even though I was only going to have a drink & possibly an appetizer. He said it was fine. Was given a different waiter upon seating. I asked for the bruschetta without the meat. I specifically mentioned how I did not eat meat and did not want any meat anywhere on the platter. It came with meat. I pointed it out to the waiter & he agreed that there was in fact meat. Waiting for him to realize the issue he then said, yes that s the meat. Do you want more? No! Instead of having to repeat myself again, I just scrapped it off my food. Most vegetarians would not be so forgiving. I would ve stayed at least another drink, but the waiter never came to check on me while eating. He only returned after I stopped eating. Then when I got my bill, I am nearly certain that the item was more on the bill than the menu ($2 more), but still. Food was okay, $16 for an appetizer that wasn t even what I asked for was over inflated. Never again. I do not recommend this place.

Our favorite restaurant in kirkland, food and service just amazing! ANA the best!!!

MY experience last night was this; they used BREAKFAST sausage in place of Italian sausage with fennel. I spoke to the cook afterwards and he laughed! They used pizza dough made into a flatbread, dry, hard and with bitter seasonings and called it Focaccia. When asked about what cherry would be in my old fashioned, she said Italian, yet it was a maraschino which is colored with dye. We were seated at a dirty table although I made reservations for a special event. Our table also lacked the usual olive oil/vinegar as others around us. We were offered no pepper or salt. After our appetizers, we had to search out our waitress to order dinner and she said Oh, you want to order dinner? Yes, that is why we are here! The list goes on. Later she proclaimed Sorry, we are short staffed. It was a birthday, and we never had an opportunity to order desert. I am really, really disappointed and will NOT come back. Barely Italian!!!! Not a very friendly staff either. The friend who I was taking out to celebrate said she didnt feel welcome at all!!!

5 of us came in for an early dinner. Service was great with helpful suggestions. All of us picked different dishes and the taste and quality was excellent. Sauces were amazing and complemented the dish. Desserts were also great from the lemon and raspberry cake to the tiramisu. Comfortable and I rushed atmosphere.

Ok American Italian food. Good location near the lake. Disappointed in quality of pizza - was hoping for traditional fresh pizza and got more of a American cheese pizza with basil thrown on.

This place was great previously currently avoid it if you can. The tables were not clean complimentary bread was not served, the pizza and pasta didn t taste good. They didn t offer salt or pepper. Just save your money and go somewhere else it s not worth the price you spend here. I would give zero stars it doesn t even deserve one star

Food was disappointing. Cocktails were watery. Service was subpar. Billing was all messed up. We didn t even bother boxing more than half of our food that was left. The picture shows their disappointing margherita pizza.

I wouldnt recommend this place I got a ravioli dish with lobster in it and its a shameless portion wasnt even full and 29$ ridiculous :/. The service was mediocre as well we didnt even get our bread before our entrees. Id rather eat at ristorante Paradiso instead.

The food is good here. This was our second visit this month. I had to send my martini back because it wasnt what I ordered. Also ordered cheesecake and was given a piece of white cake so that was sent back. Got the cheesecake and was very disappointed as it had no flavor and tasted a bit old. However, our main courses,(beet salad, pizza, and rigatoni bolognese) were all delicious! Service was good but our waiter could have been nicer. We will go again.

Met with a group of friends for dinner and drinks. First I want to say I really liked the the whole ambiance, all the colors flowed. We ordered many dishes, and they were all very good. We also ordered beer and wine, and the selection was great. We all had a great time and the owner and staff were amazing. Take your group of friends there soon!!

Bruschetta was good, with burrata, prosciutto, and feta cheese. The lobster ravioli was very good, a decent amount of lobster. The bucatini alla pesto genovese had no flavor or seasoning though and I had to add a bunch of salt and pepper to taste anything. Drinks were good as well, would recommend the German reisling.

Excellent Northern Italian food and friendly service. We had the place mostly to ourselves for a Tuesday late lunch/ early happy hour.

Poor service and they added 20% tip (service charge) to their bill for a party of 2 people!! Of course, they know no one voluntarily pay any tip for their service. Drinks are below average. Food is OK.

I went with my family. The service and food taste was great. I suggest you try.

The food is average, or even below average. Cheesecake has nothing to do with cheese or cake, lamb rack is disappointing. Overpriced.

We wanted to try a new restaurant in Kirkland and Chianti had medium reviews so we thought we would give it a try. It was overall a very disappointing experience. First of all, dont get it confused with their new (soon-to-be opened) other restaurant around the corner also with the same name - Chianti. One of our friends was very confused when standing outside of a closed restaurant nearby. Then when we tried to order wine, the server was not familiar with any of them (she was likely under 21 so expected) but she did not have any ideas on how to get more insights (no one else to ask?). The cocktails we ordered came out odd, usually with way too many mixers and often with unexpected ingredients. The salmon carpaccio was just smoked salmon - likely one of those big Costco salmon packages. The mains were disappointing as well with little flavor, too much salt, and even a hair in one of the dishes. The only redeeming factor is that we didnt pay an arm and a leg as at most restaurants in Kirkland. I would not recommend.

Great place for a night out with friends or your significant other. Definitely come here for some delicious gnocchi!

Spent great time with my family, food was amazing, restaurant staff was very professional. Overall the restaurant has a pleasant, soothing ambience.

Pizza tasted horrible and gave me really bad indigestion. The Emiliana Pizza sounded good on the menu but ended up being 95% cheese and the cheese was rubbery. Never going back here.

Food is ok, never got my water that I have asked twice.

The best restaurant in town! The food was amazing, the service was great and I cant wait get back there!

Nice place, cozy inside and outside, good service and wine.

Food is too good

Amazing place! Sweet owner, he got us a table really quick and was really kind

One of the best Italian places in the city supplemented by a splendid location. You pay for the food and the ambience. Shut up and take my money

The place is very cozy and nice under a really good weather but the food lacked taste, we ordered a focaccia which we had to return because it taste like cardboard, no taste at all, with that we ordered the bruschetta which was pretty good, we ordered a risotto that didn t have any taste, was not creamy, we couldn t eat even half of it and also had a carbonara which was ok, not what I expected, the service was good, I might come back to try something different but definitely the focaccia will not be included.

We were a group of 10 adults and 4 kids. we got our table at 8:40 pm Saturday June 26th, 2021 We were sitting about one hour by 9:30 pm and nobody reached out to us to get our orders or even bring a glass water! Finally they took our orders at 9:35! After waiting a while, I went inside at 9:50 pm looking for the manager, her name was Kathy. I complained to Kathy what nobody bring the utensils, our drinks, and glasses of waters. She responded in a very rude manner and showed aggressive attitude that we do not have ranking resources and we have to wash the glasses to bring you waters! She was so rude and aggressive. I even offered her, I can wash the glasses if the need help! Finally our orders were ready around 10:10 pm I go to about 250 restaurants in a year and this place had of the worst services that I have ever experienced and they charged us 20% for tip! Do not ruin your night in this place.

Poor service, wrong person as a manager, mean and rude servers, awful place if you want to have a peaceful night!!!

Ambience from the outside didn t seem too great, but once we were seated indoors felt like an Italian place. It was noisy indoors, difficult to hear each other, however the food was excellent- recommend their pesto pastas, wine by the bottle (Chianti was great). Lots of good options for food and wine

Sorry to say everything was bad here, the staff, wait times, THE FOOD. 1st off the pictures on Google do not match the food served. I mean the bruschetta?? The bread was a weird dry crusty FLAT bread that was burnt at the bottom (not a baguette like pictured) and the tomato on top near tasteless. The scallop pasta also tasteless, scallops were smaller than a dime. Im not sure what type of garlic , seasonings and salt this places uses, but its not been approved by anyone Italian or even anyone with taste buds. LOL Food was beyond horrible...guessing it might be under new management than years prior, but regardless still felt bad ponying up $90 for the 3 of us. Save your evening and Kirkland waterfront experience by skipping this place.

Server Catherine (Cat) was such an amazing server! Food was on point and everything was delicious! I would definitely come again!

My favorite go to Italian restaurant ever. Beet salad is to die for, lobster ravioli is a must. Thank you Chianti!

One of the best Italian restaurants, love the food and the staff, nice, friendly and hardworking

Their pizza came out supper oily (and burnt). The pasta dishes were flavorless and overall bad. Service was super slow we got our food 1 hour after ordering it as well as never got a refill for our water. They gave us half sized cups for water when all the other tables had larger water cups. This was by far the worst restaurant I have been to in awhile. You could blame it on the labor shortage but reading the review it seems like it s always been like this. It s also not like it was cheap it s definitely on the hefty side. I would probably never go back there

I had an impromptu family reunion nearby at the water front. I was scrambling to find a place that could seat all 10 of us. Luckily they got us a table, with no fuss, no muss. Cat our server was really friendly and attentive to our large party. I got the lobster ravioli, which hit the spot for me. My kids got a pepperoni pizza which they destroyed. I would highly recommend Chianti for a quick bite.

Great food, great wine and exceptional service!!

It s a cozy place with Italian cuisine and unusual interior located in the heard of Kirkland Marina. I like their beet salad with burrata cheese and pizza. They offer for starters tasty bread with savory oil and crashed parmigiana for pizza. Just try. Delicious!

Authentic Italian food. Atmosphere felt like a restaurant in small remote Italian village. Took one star off for waiting to place the order for too long and they did not change our silverware. Prices were lower than expected.

The food was very tasty, our server was amazing...super attentive yet not overbearing! The house red was fantastic, the only reason Im not giving the full 5 stars is that the portion sizes (except for the desserts...those were huge) were smaller than expected for the price. My lobster ravioli entree only had 4 small to medium ravioli and only two tiny morsels of lobster meat. Other than that, I was extremely happy with my meal and my service.

I enjoyed dinner here after meeting with a good friend, and was blessed by the meal. Filet medium prepared perfectly and served hot with a delicious and delicate peppercorn glaze. I haven t enjoyed a better steak other than snow beef at The Met. Vegetable side delightfully fresh with onion forward but not overpowering. Delightful. Tiramisu thoughtfully presented and delicious with a robust and comforting cup of black coffee. Wait staff was attentive and compassionate yet not intrusive - literally perfect and intuitive service. All in a very comfortable, relaxing, and home style yet not-too-quaint environment. Can t wait to bring my wife back here for date night!

Waitresses were very rude , I think they didnt like how we look like. The restaurant was empty and yet they kept us waiting asking if there is a reservation . They chose for us the worst table. Plates were unclean and when we asked to change them they didnt even apologize for the uncleanliness . My friend dropped his fork and gently asked for another one . They never brought it and we had to go inside and ask for one. Horrible and discriminatory. We wrote on the check that they were rude and service was horrible. 10/02/2021 at 6 pm. I will never ever go there again and will never ever recommend it to any person and will officially complain. The one star is because there is no less than one.

Good food, nice service, but restaurants was cold had ro keep coat on.

The food and service were 4 stars. No issues there. The lower rating is due to small factors that made the experience feel cheap overall. I dont know any details, but it felt like they were struggling as a business. The napkins were really poor quality and thin. The bread served at the table was just kind of basic. (the oil and tomato sauce served with it was great, though) The room we were seated in needed a space heater to stay warm. Overall it just felt like there were cost cutting measures that detracted from the overall dining experience. Which is a shame, because otherwise it was great.

Good place very good

Everything was delicious and beautiful!

Always delicious

By far the best shrimp pasta dish Ive ever had!!!!

Amazing staff both waiters and chef. We have been there twice and they managed to impress us both the times. The waiter would discuss the order options with patience as if we are the only one there during busy hours. They would take our custom order and make it amazingly well. This time chef himself served our pizza as the waiter was busy. The food is amazing and so are drink options. The place is located next to the beach surrounded by greenery and makes you feel like you are somewhere on mediterranean beach. Amazing place to visit. :)

Would of gave it more stars but the stars fell!!!!! The who burger was way to big to even eat it was messy and gad a used smell of dead shrimp they are usually perfection had to be a fluke

The server was friendly, funny, and fast. I had the creamiest mozzarella in our beet salad. The carbonara was also amazing. Hidden gem in Kirkland!

Great service and terrific food! Wondeful neighborhood Italian to enjoy outside seating on a Summer evening at the Marina!!

Great place and food, but on our last visit it looked like the waiter lost common decency and decided to behave like a jerk. The way he communicated was just horrible. Didn t listen to our order and when he finally brought the wine continued to show his disrespect. We used to come there about once a week and hope to come more if that kind of service would not repeat. Couldn t even touch the wine after that treatment, so my friend proceeded inside to pay for wine and leave and even then he continued his unprofessional behavior. 17 dollars for 2 glasses of wine we didn t drink and of course worst experience. Please, management, if you care at all about the place try to hire grateful people.

Good wine and a great place to sit out on a warm summer evening. Family friendly, italian food - gnocchi, pizza, veal, and pasta. $20 or so a plate.

Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, modest prices, great food :-)

Amazing service! Thank you Adam for your attentiveness, yummy menu suggestions and for providing us an exceptional Italian experience. The food was excellent, love that it was served quickly, and warm bread just perfect with the sun-dried tomato dipping oil. Chianti is our new local favorite. You must try the tiramisu for dessert!

The food was a 3-star experience, although the pesto alfredo sauce was really very good. The fourth star here comes in support of a wonderful server this evening, Adam.

Best pizza and good wine list

Service was good and food was delicious.

Gnocchi was gummy and the sauce broke. It was like eating gummy bears swimming in oil. I should have took a picture of the Gnocchi before they took it away. It looked disgusting. The Linguine ai Frutti di Mare was just okay. Service was fine but it took way to long to get out food. The atmosphere was a bit cold. I don t think I will never eat here again.

I did like the food and place, but service was a bit too slow, to the point where Id have a hard time recommending this restaurant unless that slowness doesnt bother you.

Georgian and Russian food menu are extremely delicious! Strongly recommend to try khachapuri and vareniki!

Nice place with amazing food! Their Borsch is like a true Ukrainian one!

Great food, great service!

The food overall was ok. The salmon carpaccio, the caprese, and the bruschetta were all pretty good. The carbonara was one of the worst Ive had. I love carbonara, but it was just not very good. The gnocchi was all right. The wine list is very limited, not much description. Service was acceptable. If you want cheap Italian that costs normal price, this is your spot. I would not return again. Sorry guys. Really wanted to like it more, but now I see why the restaurant is often empty.

Excellent service, delicious food

Food was decent, but portions were small (17$ for 4 pieces of ravioli), and service was slow and sloppy. I really want to like the place but we got the wrong dish- and were charged for the more expensive wrong one after the waiter promised to not charge us for it. We had to ask for bread countless times, and eventually it came burnt, the kids meal took >30 min and they never filled up the water in the warmest day of the year.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere and FINALLY a restaurant owner who knows how to create great ambiance with intimate tasteful music instead of the usual amped up noise. THANK YOU Chianti for knowing how to do it right!

Nice ambiance, wonderful food and great service. I really enjoyed the chicken Marsala and the smoked eggplant.

The only real good pizzeria in Kirkland. The pizzas are Italian style, with a thin crust. I recommend the Prosciutto e Funghi pizza (ham and mushrooms).

Its wonderful

If i could give a negative star i would. walked in around 815pm on a thursday night and they closed their kitchen. who does that 2 hours before closing time? never going back again.

I love this Italian restaurant! I have come here twice and it has been great both times. My first visit I got the pepperoni pizza and it was really authentic and delicious! Pro tip: dont ask for ranch dressing, they are authentic and dont have it. My second visit I got a Gnocchi and Sausage dish (cant see it on their online menu) and it was REALLY good. I mean the gnocchi was so soft and the sausage was quite spicy. Overall, I really like this Italian restaurant! 5 stars!

Good food. Very authentic feel. Gnocchi was very good, although spicier than I anticipated. The pepper slightly overpowered the cheese, which could have stood on its own. Carbonara was delicious. Eggplant rolls were unique. Like the flavor, but not the texture. Almost sushi-like. Service was fine, and the outdoor seating with views of the beach/marina was nice.

The best Great food and service Loved it

Pick a different Italian place. Unless you like ordering a shrimp dish and receiving a grab bag of shrimp options: shell on, no shell, and primarily salad bar minis. The wait staff is clueless. No managerial presence. This place will be out of business by next spring.

Excellent service and food!

These guys have some Russian food there! So good!

Overall good place. Charged me extra $8 tips. Not big deal. No stars.

I had take out pizza. Not the best pizza and some of the ingredients were burnt.

Nice place, service was good and food was good. A little in the pricey side though.

So-so food, dirty room.

Very nice, small Italian restaurant. The Penne alla Boscaiola is my favorite! Always delicious!

Great tasting food with excellent service.

Ok

Wonderful neighborhood Italian place. Great view of the park and marina. They have good pizza and a nice wine selection. We also liked the clams and mussels as an appetizer. It came with a spicy marinara that was just right. The patio is wonderful for a hot day.

This is a fun place for a casual dinner near the lake on Kirkland. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pizza is very well-made and cooked just right in the wood-fired oven. The gorgonzola pasta is excellent. The restaurant has a comfortable courtyard for dining outside.

Probably my favorite place to eat in Kirkland. There are many decent surrounding restaurants but Chianti is special. Superb wine list, excellent pasta, divine pies that taste like they were teleported from Italy, and excellent service! Love these guys!

Love the food, atmosphere, staff and everything else that comes along I take all my VIP guests from all over the world there and I recommend all my friends to try their super delicious pizza and my favorite dish -Chicken Marsala! Bravo and Grazie!

The food was superb. Tomato bisque soup and bruschetta with their daily fresh tomatoes. Awesome!

Found a metal wire and a stand of hair in both our pasta!! disappointing...

The atmosphere of this restaurant was great, I recently went on a week long trip to Italy and the restaurant is pretty authentic in design to what you would find there. The food isnt at quite the same level but nonetheless it is quite good

Too casual for me. Pizza is great though.

Service is casual and has some challenges with customer expectations. Food has excelled over several years of visits. Charming place.

Mediocre food and service.

Great as usual.

The food was ok, prices are not crazy. I like the place, but overall, just average, not bad, not great
