Chianti Restaurant

Due to the weather in Shreveport we had a power outage while at the beautiful Italian restaraunt called Chianti. There was a live piano and bass jazz duo playing when the power went out. Instead of stopping or even pausing to acknowledge the power outage they kept playing. We were then treated to one of the most romantic, beautiful candlelit dinners, even though it was just soup and dessert. Although every table had a candle, the musicians played in near complete darkness. The service was excellent. Best power outage ever.

Average food, average service. I had their seafood pasta which tasted similar to (and not better than) carrabbas pasta but was pricier. The seafood was all really small and crab claw was disappointing. I probably won’t be returning any time soon.

I love the Green Room’s atmosphere! The service is always 5 star!!! I always order the mushroom tortellini, it’s that fabulous. I just enjoy this dining experience so much.

This is an upscale restaurant, I have been here numerous times and every time I have been here the customer service has been highly professional and high quality. I was in a party of 45 in this restaurant it took a while for food but we did not mind because we were having a good time. The food was great during that visit. The price matched the comfort and value returned in the services and atmosphere. This visit, I ordered the pan seared creamy pesto scallops app and the balsamic, honey and demi glase sauce over lamb chops with risotto, both were very good. The lamb was cooked perfect, but the sauce on the lamb contained too much balsamic vinegar and lacked the deep rich flavor of the demi glase. The proportion of olive oil to sauce was wrong as well. I would not have put olive oil on the plate. The olive oil ruined my taste buds and masked the rich flavors of the Demi sauce, I am hopeful that the flavor was there, but I am uncertain. My mom ordered the seafood linguini and we were disappointed with the size of the shrimp (we are in Louisiana, impress me as much with the quality. It was disappointing to get 40 – 80 count shrimp.) and we requested an alfredo sauce instead of the spicy sauce, she received the olive oil coated linguini. It has been a while since I last visited this restaurant, it was not due to food quality, it was due to my budget. Today was a special event and my mom asked me to choose a really nice restaurant to celebrate, I chose here. Leaving the restaurant my mom stated that she would have had a better meal at Olive Garden. This was not due to anything but the food quality during this particular visit. Maybe they had a bad night. I gave three stars this time, only because the customer service was so good.

My seafood pasta was delicious. My significant other’s chicken pasta was not as delicious.
Live music. Nice restaurant setting. A little pricey.
I like going next door to Vintage for their very reasonable wine flights. Vintage also serves the same menu in a more casual, but swanky environment. Dark with TVs and you can order cigars to smoke in there, so if you don’t like having smoke around during dinner then I’d suggest having dinner at the restaurant and having wine/​drinks and dessert at Vintage.

Came for pre interview dinner at LSUHSC to meet with the residents and attendings. I was glad I did because I was considering just sleeping in and ordering Chinese, but decided it would be better to be sociable and grab free dinner. I should’ve checked the website for attire because everyone came in dressy with ties, and I strolled in tieless with short sleeve in jeans. Anyways, on to the food! Started off with salad and ended with chocolate cake. Main course we were given tons of options, the two most popular were red snapper and beef tenderloin. I am a man, so I chose the latter. I was pretty satisfied with the meal, and finished it fast. I think I was the first one done at my table. Also, I was really tempted to take out my phone and take pictures, but refrained. You guys will just have to trust me that the food was good without visual support.

Generous pour on single malt scotch! Yay!
We sat at the bar while waiting for our table and the bartender was very nice. Noticed that I didn’t really touch my wine he asked me whether I liked it — and I didn’t. So, he offered to switch to another one and recommended one that he usually drinks, which is house pinot noir.
I usually get their pasta dish and most of the time, it’s excellent but last time it was a bit overcooked. Their signature veal dishes are tad bit sweet for my taste but has good flavor. Ever since Giuseppe went downhill, we go to this place whenever i have Italian cravings. Can’t compare to some of the best hole-​in-​the-​wall Italian restaurants in NJ, but it is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Shreveport. So, maybe 3.5 star.

Great food, great atmosphere, with live music on the piano and saxophone. Waitress was polite. The food was delicious and we will definitely go back

I come here once in awhile when I’m in town visiting family. Great decoration, great atmosphere (especially the Green Room). The food is decently priced for what you get. I ordered the Saffron Rissoto and it was one of the best things I have ever tasted. Bloody Mary’s are made from scratch and are delicious as well!
