Il Chianti Italian

What a great restaurant! The lamb chops and mushroom risotto was amazing. Also the seafood pasta is so good ?
This was my first time here, but definitely not my last.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

An odd location but worth a visit. Vanessa, our server, was amazing. I told her what I like and she brought back a perfect spicy seafood pasta with red sauce. Food is exceptional, and it was nice that the chef/owner introduced himself to the customers in the dining room, including me and my wife. We'll be back

This is the best Italian food I've ever had in my life. You know when people say they put their heart and soul into their food? Well, that's exactly what Chef Rudy does. You can tell as soon as you take your first bite that he is passionate about his profession. I didn't know the difference between good and great food until I ate here and the difference is a chef that loves what he does. Because Chef Rudy loves to feed hungry people you can taste the love and commitment in every dish he serves. You can feel the vibe as soon as you walk in a smell the aroma of all the delicious food in the air. Just try not to fill up on those mouth watering breadsticks before you get your main course!

First time here and will definitely be back! The employees make you feel right at home. Fresh warm bread, with awesome oil and balsamic vinegar !
We ordered the special with lobster and shrimp, with thin homemade noodles. Everything was fresh and hot. We had the brûlée cheesecake for dessert, and of course it was amazing!!! Father-in-law wanted a cocktail but No bar just wine, beer and sangria.

I came across this Italian restaurant on Yelp. It had good reviews and the food looked amazing.

I started with a glass of sangria, which tasted wonderful. I then ordered the grilled calamari, artichoke and spinach bruschetta on crusted bread, linguine with clams
and Orange roughy with Risotto.

The calamari was cooked perfectly. It was served in a brown sauce, which was simply amazing. I’ve had calamari in the past, but never served like this. Without question, this by far was the best calamari I’ve ever had, and I’ve had calamari in many different countries around the world. The sauce truly elevated this dish.

The linguine and clams & the orange roughy with risotto were cooked and seasoned well. Both dishes had good flavor and tasted great. The portion sizes were adequate and each dish was priced accordingly.

The Chef/owner (Rudy), stopped by the table, introduced himself and inquired about my meal. This is something often not seen in restaurants but when it does happen, it speaks volume on the importance the establishment places on immediate (real time), customer feedback.

The restaurant has an old school Italian vibe with photographs and other memorabilia affixed to the walls. The wooden paneling coupled with the dark burgundy walls makes for a good combination.

The staff is very familiar with the menu and will offer recommendation on some favorite customer dishes.

I would definitely recommend this spot should you be craving Italian food.

What an absolutely amazing experience. Best Italian restaurant in Las Vegas, Henderson or quite frankly the State of Nevada. Incredible atmosphere and a restaurateur (Rudy the Chef/Owner) Who made me realize that the old Vegas dining experience that I thought had died and been completely Commercialized, actually still exists!! I was born and raised in Las Vegas, and for years have believed that all the old-school restaurants were gone. The ones where the customer experience is paramount. The ones were all the food is homemade. The ones where you always know the chef/Owner is going to come out and make you feel extra special, and take pride in everything they do. All the ones I have remembered from my childhood have disappeared due to the incredible growth of Las Vegas and addition of upscale fine dining at every hotel on the Strip!! Don’t get me wrong, there are some incredible restaurants on the strip, but none of them allow you to truly embrace the old school Las Vegas restaurant experience, where the chef is the owner, and the chef is more concerned about his reputation and your personal experience than actually making money. If you would like to experience the personal dining experience that Las Vegas used to offer , which I assure you is far superior to what it has turned into now, I recommend you visit Il Chianti Italian restaurant and get to meet Rudy!!! I promise you it will be an experience you never forget!!! Thank you, Rudy for keeping the original old-school Las Vegas alive and well!!! Perfizione el mio nuovo amico Rudy!!!!
