“This is a restaurant that is well suited for people who look for and appreciate good food in an atmosphere that lends itself to enjoyment.”
— North Shore Magazine
I’ve found near perfection. It exists in a tiny establishment in downtown Beverly, and I hate to disclose the location because I want to keep it as my personal little place for a while longer. It’s called Chianti! This place has managed to get the magical mix just right- great food, wonderful ambience, and a warm staff. Keep it just the way it is and for a long time, please.”
