"Chianti Reserve management brings their skill and understanding of Italian food to downtown Pleasanton with over 30 years of experience in Italy and the Bay Area!"
Many of the culinary staff members …
Food here is quite good. Portions are healthy without being overmuch, and the food is always served hot and fresh. But the standout about the restaurant (in a city with several Italian eateries) is the service. Attentive is not an adequate word. These folks cultivate repeat customers. They remember your ordering patters, your names, etc. Its a serious differentiator for them, no kidding.

This was my first (and last time) ordering from Chianti Reserve - it was unbelievably bad! The Cesar Salad was very mediocre - the dressing was bland, no anchovies were included (as pictured), and the croutons tasted store-bought. Next I had the Gnocchi ai Gamberi (Italian dumplings with seafood in a tomato cream sauce). The sauce had zero flavor and the dumplings were also bland, gummy, and tasted like raw dough. Finally - I had the Limoncello Mascarpone Cake - actually I didn't have any of it; I tossed it straight into the trash. It was drizzled with CHOCOLATE sauce! Who puts chocolate sauce on Lemon cream cake? It was supposed to have Raspberry sauce drizzled on as shown in the picture. I really don't know what happened here, how even a Lemon cake could get so screwed up but it was. I absolutely do not recommend this place at all as there are plenty of other better choices locally and on DoorDash.

I love Spaghetti Carbonara! so everytime I go to an Italian restaurant that is all I order. WHEN I TELL YOU THEIR FOOD HIT THE SPOT! If you love that flavourful creamy taste, this is IT!!!

Best ravioli's w/lamb sauce...excellent. My daughter hates lamb but she loved the sauce. I didn't tell her that it was lamb until she had seconds. That a 5 stars in my book of rating!!!
