I liked Chianti’s, plus it was one of the last (if not the last) place that provided an affordable dinning experience on West 4th. Unfortunately, the street has been taken over by the yuppy foodie scum that Urban Diner caters to. Chianti’s may not have provided been the best food, but it was authetic, gave large portions, had character and you didn’t need to own an SUV to eat there. It’s another sad statement about the way Vancouver is going. This city used to belong to everyone. Now it’s for the rich. Thanks, assholes.

Cheap and Cheerful it was, but that is a lot of rent

I liked the place.

Granted this was over 15 years ago. Chianti’s was my “go to” place for a candlelit dinner for 2 that wouldn’t break the bank.

Was it good? Couldn’t tell you, but it served a purpose and provided me with many great memories.

Ciao.

I’m not going to disagree…it was sub-par, and has been for some time.

I particularly like the letters I’d get mailed to my house wishing me a happy birthday (onyl been there once or twice and must have filled out a comment card).

What I remember…they always got the wrong day and always got my name wrong.

Two strikes…
