About Chianti

Down on Hutt Street, Chianti anchors Adelaide Italian dining with serious craft and zero pretension. Regulars head straight for the kitchen's handmade pasta—braised rabbit ragù over broad pappardelle, or sweet blue swimmer crab folded into squid ink ribbons. Upstairs, the private dining room handles wedding receptions and landmark birthdays with dedicated coordination, while the floor staff work the room with natural *sprezzatura*—sharp on pacing, generous with cellar knowledge, and never hovering. Evenings begin best over freshly shucked oysters alongside cellar half-bottles.

  • Signature Pasta Dishes: Handcrafted pasta anchors the menu, highlighted by rich rabbit ragu pappardelle and sweet blue swimmer crab casarecce.
  • Curated Cellar & Oysters: Freshly shucked oysters lead into an extensive cellar list featuring convenient half-bottle selections.
  • Polished Hospitality: Floor staff strike the right rhythm with knowledgeable menu pairing advice and attentive, unobtrusive pacing.
  • Private Dining Upstairs: A dedicated second-floor dining space backed by dedicated coordination simplifies milestone gatherings and receptions.

Before you head over

Practical advice to ensure a smooth dining experience. Visit the website to browse seasonal offerings and plan your meal.

  • Book Ahead for Peak Dining

    The dining room fills quickly during peak dinner services and celebrations. Secure your reservation well in advance rather than relying on last-minute arrangements.

  • Notify Staff for Upstairs Accessibility

    Private group gatherings are frequently hosted in the upstairs dining room. If anyone in your party has mobility constraints or recovering injuries, notify the venue ahead of time so staff can provide alternative staircase access and comfortable seating accommodations.

  • Flag Tight Schedules Early

    If you have theatre tickets or a strict evening schedule, inform your server upon arrival so the team can guide menu selections toward dishes with fast preparation times and pace courses to meet your deadline.
