Food****Ambiance****Service****I had the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. The chicken was a tad on the bland side. We also had the tortellini which was a little better than the Alfredo. The ambiance was nice on the outside patio and service was also good. Chiantiâs is a decent Italian Restaurant.

We were visiting some friends in the area and were told to go to Salerno"s for pizza.Everyone raves about the pizza so we ordered a sausage, ham, and black olive pizza. The pizza toppings were good but the crust was terrible! You had to cut the pizza crust with a steak knife into smaller pieces just so you could eat it! The crust was so tough you couldn't take a bite out of it!Maybe we just got a bad pizza but I wouldn't order another one!

My brother and his wife went to this restaurant last Friday and seemed pretty impressed, so we went Saturday night..around 6:00. When we went in, we were the only people waiting to be seated, then two couples came in within a couple of minutes after we did. The Host or Manager immediately plucked couple #3 out of the wait line and seated them...Then he came back a few minutes later and motioned us to follow him...never spoke a word....no Welcome or Nice to See You...nothing...Maybe I could have understood this if they were seriously slammed, but they weren't., there were plenty of empty tables...Our server, a very nice girl named Tiffany, immediately took our drink orders and then came back in a while to ask if we wanted appetizers..Please understand, we had no problem with the service and the pizza was fine. We have another place we like better, but everybody has a favorite go-to place for pizza....Our entire experience was colored by our less than hospitable start....Décor wise, this is an attractive restaurant...and it was pleasantly cool on a warm August night....It appears they do a big pick-up and delivery business....I'm not sure we'd go back....

With an even larger group, our experience was much better than the previous reviewer. The service was friendly and obliging and the pizzas, although relatively few alternatives, were uniformly very good. Appetizers, too. The restaurant has a modern, big city vibe, which complements the more traditional feel of other places nearby.

Gia Mia was our lunch time visit to celebrate a birthday. It was very busy at 1:00 PM so we were glad for our reservation. Interior design was welcoming and the wait staff was friendly. Their pizza was tasty and seemed authentic. The steak salad was presented well and good. The prices, however, are a little high for what you receive..

The restaurant is a converted church just off the main road. Nice selection and reasonable prices up to more expensive. My wife chose Lasagna Emiliano with a Chianti Classico while I had the wood fired Pizza Tonno (Tuna with Onions). Very tasty with generous portions, taking some home. Will definitely come back.

My husband and I were on a legit date night and ate at Riganatos. The food was excellent! Highlights of our cuisine included the calamari with Banana peppers and olive oiland giant ricotta stuffed meatballs. The entire place is super clean you can even see into the kitchen where everyone seems happy and the place is buzzing. The front of the house staff is truly top notch. Clearly they have trained their staff well and the people who work there are proud of what they do- and they should be. Go eat here.

We had excellent service at this restaurant. Our waiter was nice and attentive. The food however left a lot to be desired my wife and I both ordered wedge salad and the lobster bisque. The wedge salad was interesting to say the least. It was a hunk of romaine lettuce. Not really what you would expect in this time of romaine killing people and all. We also shared the bruschetta appetizer. This was the highlight of the meal. The mushrooms on the bruschetta were especially tasty. The lobster bisque with some of the worst somethings Iâve ever had in my mouth. Heavy. Tasted like dirty coffee, cream and black pepper. Yeah. I know it sounds bad. It was. Our friend had a pasta dish and she liked it. Overall I was less than impressed. The service was excellent too bad the food wasnât.
