Started in Newburgh, NY, this restaurant is named for the Chianti region in Italy in which the owner was born. When he "retired," he moved south and opened his restaurant in a restored colonial in Little River; hence, Chianti South. The menu consists of traditional Italian dishes as well as some very creative dishes. It includes hot and cold appetizers, veal, quail, chicken, calamari, steak, pasta and more. Chianti South received the Wine Spectators Award of Excellence for three years in a row.
