Chianti's - Pleasanton

This was one of my favorite restaurants to go downtown Pleasanton, so it hurts my heart to give it such a critical review. The owner and the servers are sweet and give wonderful service, but the price they now ask for their food is crazy! We went to my sister's birthday and I was amazed to see her asking $25 for her pasta and $50 for a tiny sea bass. In addition, they paid $9 for side soup and $12 for side salad, which should be included in the already expensive meal. We were not told that would be extra if we ordered. Then, above that they add 20% luck if you have a party greater than 5. Like they don't make enough money on their overpriced food! But where it went wrong, they accused the bliss, including the wine we had. The wine should not be included in the amount you tap on. Especially if it's an expensive bottle. What used to be a cute place has now turned to a high price of my family and I can no longer enjoy a cute event like a birthday.

Fairly authentic Italian food. I got The spaghetti carbonara and it tastes great! The sauce is very rich and creamy, the spaghetti and Meatballs is classic but could use a little bit sugar for my taste. Everything tastes great, tho nothing special.

I walked in here for dinner at around 6:45 pm and was lucky to find outdoor seating as by the time we left, the place was overflowing with guests. We ordered the Pasta Primavera, Ravioli alla Noce and Tortellini Alfredo con Gamberi. All dishes were awesome and very flavourful. The only issue I had was that the quantity for the money paid did not match. On an average, each dish costed $20. However, the quantity was less than what I expected at other Italian places with similar pricing. Nonetheless, we washed it down with a Limoncello with Mascarpone. It was equally good. Not worrying about the serving size, I will definitely be back for more.

The Fettuccine alla Vodka had great tasting salmon and the spaghetti was very up scale taste but not as expensive as could have been. And I didn't even have a reservation with front row seats and warm family welcome also coffee was nicely made. I would come here a again!

Great Italian restaurant. the food quality is delicious and the ambiente is also quite good.
