Having been here many times since it first opened I couldn’t believe how bad it has become. No penne pasta in an Italian restaurant and cold raw egg in carbonara. Staff attitude was poor and finally 10% service charge was actually 20% and when this was pointed out there was no apology. Although there were three children we were not offered childrens menus. Nearly booked a big birthday for 20 people but changed my mind. So sad to watch a restaurant go downhill like this

The whole thing took forever the food was lukewarm. The carbonara had a cold base of raw egg avoid as we were told that’s normal !! The place was empty and still service poor the older woman gave the impression she didn’t want to be there. She was rude at best. We will t be going back.

Wonderful food, beautiful restaurant and fabulous staff. Made so welcomed by 2 extremely friendly staff particularly the young Italian one, can’t remember her name but a massive thank you and we will come back and hopefully she will still be there. Well worth the money, if fact, definitely worth the money. Thank you to everyone including the chefs. Just wonderful.

disappointed we used to be regulars and often struggled to get a table at weekends. Not this time only 3 tables occupied. Staff not very welcoming service menu very restrictive ( no soups offered mains limited) unable to deliver pasta requested, when meals arrives out of the 8 mains ordered 4 were lukewarm and 4 were cold which were sent back then they arrived lukewarm, carbonara no creamy sauce and bacon was like eating pebbles, all portions were very small. Certainly not worth the £210 it cost us. It's a shame this used to be a restaurant with a great atmosphere and great food, don't know what has happened, but changes have certainly put us off, and judging by how quiet it was on Sunday night many others too

So disappointed very poor service even though the restaurant was not busy . The woman server acted like she did not want to be there . We went Sunday 28th July . Selection of olives were not a selection all the same out of a jar . 4 cheese pizza was dry and not enjoyable at all . Was going to have a pudding but didn’t want to waste any more money on basic food . The only positive was the aperol spritz served with out an orange slice even though the bar women making the drinks had an orange in her hand and was told by male waiter to not use it 😵 . So 3 aperol ‘s without orange . No tip left would not return . What is Italian about this restaurant definitely nothing !!

food was mid. my partners carbonara was not good!! the pasta was undercooked and very crunchy. she asked for mushrooms and got told it was already in the carbonara, but came without lol. the staff never came to check on how our food was so we never made the staff aware. we felt quite judged when we first got there, the young boy was quite rude. pizza was pretty good but tasted like overcooked garlic bread with toppings. disappointed for my first time in falkirk.

Really disappointed having been before covid and enjoyed our meal. When we arrived our table of two was sandwiched in between two other tables which really felt like a table of 6 so had to whisper throughout meal. Should have known not to expect much when the table to my right was complaining and sending food back when we arrived. Ordered our drinks and food. When my husbands wine came I asked if it was OK and he said it was just alright. Later transpired that they didn't have any of the wine that he asked for so had been given something else completely. At £8 a glass he should have been given the options! The starters were Pate and Calamari, they were OK, nothing to write home about. The calamari was served in a bowl making it difficult to use cutlery and I didn't fancy using mu hands! Then the food came - we quickly realised neither of us had what we ordered and sent it back, turns out it was the table to my lefts. I had noticed them getting a bit angsty at how long they had waited, the plates were walked in a big circle off of our table and onto theirs. When the correct food came, my gnocchi was delicious to be fair but my husband's risotto was very al dente verging on under cooked. At £72 for two 2 course meals, 2 soft drinks and 2 wines it was certainly not worth the money. We went out last weekend and for only £30 more had 3 course meals, a bottle of good nice wine which we asked for and beer and a soft drink. Will certainly not be back again. The ambience was all wrong lighting to bright, music blaring, I like a bit of busted as much as the next person but not in an Italian restaurant on your wedding anniversary. Our waiter had obviously been for a cigarette break and not tried to mask the smell with aftershave or mints 🤢. If you want to smoke fire in but don't go and serve paying customers stinking of smoke. We asked for the bill which came and then we were ignored for 10 minutes, eventually went to the bar to pay on the way out and the waitress and waiter continued their conversation throughout rhe process, absolutely zero interaction with us. We did not complain and were polite throughout so there was no reason given to them for the rude service. Chianti has always had a decent reputation but we won't be back.

As I've been twice before I let him take the lead in ordering he had meatballs to start I had mussels both were delicious 😋 i had the chicken and mushroom pasta my hubby had the seabass special we both raved about our meal which was washed down with 2 bottles of pino grigio! the meal was lovely and the interaction with the waiters enough! My husband says he'll definitely be back which for him is a gold star I've told him for yrs he'd love it hopefully now we'll make it a regular occurrence

Tonight was a birthday dinner with family which we had booked weeks in advance and were looking forward to it as had been numerous times and never had an issue until tonight. We were booked for 630pm dinner with 13 (inc 2kids aged 3 and 8) of us and the place was very quiet only had 2 other tables of 2 people in when we arrived. We had got our table and waited over 30mins for our order for drinks to be taken. Whilst waiting the restaurant was on the chilly side as heating wasn't working. No-one had called us before hand to advise and we had some of our table sitting with our jackets on as they were cold. On the order for drinks we asked waitress about heating which she said she would sort (however never did). We ordered food at 7pm (main meals only) and waited over an hour for the food to be sent out. A couple of other tables arrived well after us and were served their meals before us. No waiting staff checked on our table while we were waiting or apologised for the delay. When food arrived a couple of meals were returned as inedible and burnt to a crisp (lasagne & garlic bread) pasta was cold. The waitress was asked what has been the hold up to which she responded that they got a new head chef on Tuesday of this week and he didn't know how to make the pasta dishes and was asking her how to make them. This was a birthday meal for my mum to spend with her family and was totally ruined with the way we were treated and the food that was served. Needless to say the only fast bit of service we received tonight was how quickly the bill was given when asked for. I will defo not be back as similar issue was had there on mother's day but this was my mums choice for her birthday. Its a shame really as we liked eating here but it's like staff and owners can't be bothered and the staff that are there don't care about customer service, all they care about is money. Go at your own risk.

Staff good and decor lovely. Not sure whats happened it's changed so much, seems to have changed hands. I actually left my starter and the food was very bland, not the usual restaurant standard from Chianti. I agree with the other reviewer...tasted like shop bought pasta and the meatballs were fatty, hard tasted like cheap meat, Staff was made aware. Menu options reduced also. Such a shame as been going for years and handy to get to, better places to eat.

Well since we had not been out or a nice meal for well over a month decided we would give Chianti a visit as both of us had not ventured near the place in many years. Table booked for 19.30 and arrived at 19.15 and showed into a small lounge area next to the main dining area as our table was not ready for us. You would expect to be asked if you would like a drink while awaiting your table im afraid this was not the case no one came near till just after 19.30 where again you would expect to be asked sir /madam your table is now ready nope just a nod from the waiter to follow him not a good start to the meal. Sat down where two menus were left on the table with no offer of drinks yet! Now the place was not that busy but got the feeling a distinct lack of staff might be an issue. Two other families have now arrived and low and behold both served drinks and orders taken yet they arrived well after we did. By this time, we had been in the place well over 30 mins with no sign of being asked for a drink. Eventually had to ask to have our order taken and for drinks to be served. We decided to take the Antipasto di Montagna (2 people) Mix of Italian cured meat, mix of Italian roasted vegetables, mozzarella, olives, cheese & bread could only be described as a child portion and at £28 quid for something you could buy the lot for less than ten pounds. Main course I had the salmon which was ok partner had the Pollo Milanese which was dry and spaghetti looked like it had been a reheat and was certainly not fresh. And to finish of with sticky toffee pudding according to my partner was the high light of the full meal I had strawberry cheese cake that came in a glass yes, a glass as its only a biscuit base with some filling and two cut strawberries on the top left half of it. . To sum up very poor service meal was at least mediocre and that is being kind in my words very highly unlikely to be back at the prices they charge for poor service and food that bad we never even a coffee.

After my scathing review from October 2021, I must say Chianti is back as one of our favourite lunch venues in the Falkirk area. Three very good courses for £18.95. Good quality, big portions, good service, great value. We'll be back before too long.

Visited here yesterday with some friends from Edinburgh. Even though the restaurant was quiet we were made very welcome from the minute we arrived. We all had from the lunch menu, either 2 or 3 courses were available. We chose for starters, - minestrone soup, bruschetta with wild mushrooms and cheese, and calamari. Main courses were - carbonara, sea bass, and chicken in a cream and mushroom sauce. All beautiful and adequate portions, esp the carbonara. Would most certainly recommend here

Found ourselves in Falkirk on business and was recommended this gorgeous Italian restaurant. The food was amazing. My friend had Pollo e Crema which was chicken in a mushroom sauce. I had the Carbonara. These mains were preceded by Calimari and Foccacia ai prosciutto. The foccacia was the size of a standard pizza. Very reasonably priced for the portion sizes. Absolutely recommend this place hands down. They were more than happy to box up what we couldn't manage. Fabulous experience.

Chianti has always been one of my faves, so I suggested it for a friend’s 50th birthday lunch. Suddenly, some of our party highlighted to recent bad reviews, but agreed to keep the booking. It was wonderful. As always, great decor & vibe - no change there. However, the food and service were top notch, as it had always been. I spoke with the Manager, who said there had been a blip, but I can assure you it’s all sorted. So don’t be put off by reviews from earlier in the year - the wonderful Chianti is back! Large portions, reasonably priced and great choices. Each one of us wanted a change to the meal on the Menu, some wanted no chicken, others wanted a change of pasta, or extra garlic or no wine in a sauce. This was done with a smile. Nothing was too much for them. Can’t wait to go back!

First visit for a few years but it will also be the last. Lovely restaurant, lovely music, shame about the food and the temperature. Starters of Caprese salad - mozzarella surrounded by tomato slices and ONE basil leaf on top. The mozzarella was too cold and therefore too firm. Main courses were Rigatoni Toscana described as: Rigatoni pasta with fresh italian sausage, wild mushrooms, sundried tomato and a touch of cream. In reality it was rigatoni in a watery cream sauce with lots of mushrooms, two tiny peices of bland sun dried tomatoes and I never found the sausage! When I told the waiter what was wrong he apologised then came back a few minutes later offering to do it again with more sausage - I turned down that offer since I had had more than enough. We also had a garlic and rosemary focacccia which was nice for a couple of minutes then became extrelmly tough as it cooled. We didn't risk a dessert or coffee . The music was good but even the musician had to put his jacket on .....there was no heating, Even in the toilet the "hot" water didn't get aabove icy cold. We were only charged for one pasta but as I told the waiter I would have much preferred to pay full price in exchange for a good meal.

Hadn’t visited for a while but had always enjoyed it so we were really looking forward to our meal. We were a few minutes late but the table wasn’t ready anyway and we ended up being shown to our table 20 minutes after the booked time with next to no apology. No one came near us for around 10-15 minutes to take a drink or food order and we were contemplating leaving at that point anyway because there was next to no vegetarian choice on the menu - I was told that they were in the process of upgrading their menu but that I could have any meaty pasta dish minus the meat! The food when it came was fairly bland. The garlic bread didn’t arrive at all and was unceremoniously dumped on the table with no apology about 5-10 minutes later. There was no salt or pepper on the table so we had to wait until a waitress came near to ask for them. No flowers in bud vases/candles on the tables either, or drinks lists. Just napkins and cutlery! That might seem petty but table decor is a normal part of a nice dining experience in my opinion. For around 15 minutes after finishing our meal no one came near to clear away our plates. Eventually a waitress walking past asked if we’d “like them taken away” like she was doing us a favour. We asked her for a dessert menu and she brought it over then did not return to see if we wanted anything. We waited another 10-15 minutes then gave up and had to get someone’s attention to ask for the bill. We complained about the poor service and were given 10% off the bill but that will not persuade us to return. In their defence it was a busy Saturday night but by the time we were waiting to have our sweet order taken the place had quietened down a bit and we observed staff standing around chatting, and one staff member looking at his phone. Probably our most disappointing dining experience in a long time.

After getting off to a good enough start, it quickly went downhill after our main course being flung at us. We were then ignored for 40 minutes, what should have been a special occasion became a disappointment. No dessert or coffee was offered. We almost had to beg for our guests to be offered drinks. Understaffed and not suited to larger groups.

We have eaten here several times and really enjoyed our meal, however not so much this time. My son found an old napkin and mint under his seat and despite being empty our table wasn't ready for us. The table cover needed a good iron. We were asked what we wanted to drink without being given a drinks menu. The menu was torn and very messy. Pate was served with one oatcake and the bread of my bruscetta was clearly not fresh. Some of the meal was just alright but most was pretty bland. My risotto was not creamy, it was quite watery and was served on a flat plate and not a bowl. It cost £161 for hhe family meal and it just wasn't worth it. I wished we'd gone elsewhere to celebrate my husband's birthday.

Been here a few times for dinner food is very good and the staff are very friendly and professional, only issue I would have that the portions could be a little larger, but what you get is delicious

Good basic Italian restaurant. Always have the spaghetti and meatballs and it would be 5 star if they were consistently good. First twice they were great, after that something changed, still good but no longer historic.

We've been meeting friends there over the past few months and always get a table where you feel completely safe and away from others. Service and food is excellent and any slight changes to a dish are always taken on board so you get exactly what you want.

We have been going to Chianti for years and have to say what a really poor Christmas lunch we had. Minestrone soup tasteless and minute steak and chips was literally that… no vegetable or garnish. Very basic. Really disappointed as not the standard we expect.

This was my family's first time in Cafe Cornvina and it was amazing, beautiful on the inside, attentive, tradition waiters with speedy service but not so quick that you felt rushed. It is the type of place that suits all the family, but gives very romantic date night vibes too! We will definetly be back.
