Il Chianti Italian Restaurant Henderson

by Ryan Rose

Il Chianti Italian Steak and Seafood at 72 W Horizon Ridge Pkwy in Henderson brings upscale Italian dining to the Black Mountain neighborhood. Established in 2016 and led by Executive Chef Rodolfo Janeo Jr., the restaurant serves homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and premium steaks in a cozy setting inside the Black Mountain Marketplace shopping center. This is one of the few fine dining options within walking distance of Black Mountain homes.

What Makes Il Chianti Stand Out?

Chef Janeo brings over 30 years of culinary experience to every dish. The menu features handmade pasta, grilled lamb chops served sizzling on a hot skillet, and linguine with littleneck clams tossed in white wine, garlic, and clam juice. Bruschetta arrives on toasted Italian bread topped with tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and aged balsamic reduction.

The Italian wine list complements the food with selections chosen to pair with the kitchen's signature dishes. The atmosphere strikes a balance between upscale presentation and neighborhood warmth, making it suitable for date nights, family celebrations, and casual weeknight dinners.

Does Il Chianti Have Any Specials?

Tuesday and Wednesday evenings feature a three course prix fixe menu for $37, which includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. This is one of the best dining values in Henderson for the quality of food you receive. Thursday and Sunday nights are Cheese Wheel Nights, where the kitchen tosses your pasta tableside in a giant melted cheese wheel. Both specials draw repeat visitors throughout the week.

What Are the Hours?

Il Chianti is open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner service, with doors opening at 3pm. The kitchen closes at 8pm on weekdays and Sundays, and stays open until 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant is closed on Mondays. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and Cheese Wheel nights.

Fine Dining Within Walking Distance

Living in Black Mountain means upscale Italian dining, Cheese Wheel tableside service, and a chef driven menu are part of your everyday neighborhood rather than a trip across town.
