the thing that sets this retaurant apart is the service, excellent. My food would rate a 4.5 only because I was so spoilt when i visited Italy in 2009 and was instructed to order the house specialty .... still havent found the pear and blue cheese fettucini to match it in any subsequent travels. Anyway the food on any other... More

with a visit to Classico and loved their Mothers Day set menu. We were greeted like old friends and enjoyed our meals very much, with the stand out being the rich slow cooked tomato soup and seafood entree, wonderful. We have been to this lovely restaurant many times now with family and friends and I don't think anyone has ever... More

My son and I were on the way back from an errand and looking for a place for lunch. He was using the Internet to look for the nearest restaurant and several restaurants came up. The nearest was Chianti as we were driving along Hutt Street. It was 2 pm on a weekday and the restaurant was packed. For starters... More

I dined here with a group of colleagues on a Friday night. The restaurant was full and it was easy to work out why. The food, whether it was beef, seafood or pasta was magnificent as was the wine list. The only thing better was the service which was prompt, attentive and suitably friendly. I'd eat here again anytime (and... More

We decided to try Chianti out because friends were raving about the place and sure enough we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, the decor nice and the staff were friendly and cheerful. My husband had the scallops for entree and that was just devine, succulent scallops packed full of flavour with a slight crunch from the baked parmesan!... More

Brilliant service, excellent wine list and above all, superb Italian food. The whole crab was amazing and the spaghetti divine. We went for breakfast and dinner on the same day! More

Chianti Classico is an Adelaide institution, in the busy Hutt Street precinct. They are open 7 days for breakfast, lunch and dinner- or a coffee or glass of wine between times. They offer high quality Italian inspired cuisine, with excellent service and a well chosen selection of wines. Pricing is reflective of the quality- good value for the quality offered.... More

This is one of only a couple and probably the best in Adelaide where the friendly waiting staff really know their job. The food is consistently great and very good value for a top class restaurant. Maria is an angel and there are no pretensions at Chianti Classico. Book to avoid disappointment! Great for breakfast too - something very hard... More
