We stumbled on this beautiful gem last night and can’t wait to go back to try everything on the menu! The food was excellent! So fresh and delicious! You can tell that a lot of thought and love went into planning that menu. We sat outside because it was a gorgeous evening but the inside is full of elegant charm. They have an extensive wine list, including a generous selection of Romanian/European options. Chanta provides the perfect atmosphere for a memorable date night – we are already planning our next visit!

Chanta is a very elegant place. I love the soft instrumental background music. The staff is very professional and the place is clean. Is a small place with limited tables so please do a reservation online. My daughter loved the lemonade! I really enjoyed the Tiramisu cake, the 3 cheese bread and the cappuccino!

A cute, cozy restaurant for sure. Being of Eastern European heritage, I really wanted to support this business and was excited to try different versions of foods I grew up eating. We tried to order an appetizer and were informed by the server that two of the appetizers were out even though it was 5:30pm. We ordered the chicken paprikash, sausages, ribs and pizza for our kids. The dumplings and sauce for the paprikash were delicious. The chicken had an odd texture, it was almost firm. The sausages were very good as were the fries. The ribs and the sauce that accompanied it was very salty but the ribs were very tender. The kids liked the pizza. Overall, it was an okay experience. I wish it was more refined for the price.

This is one of the type of places I love to go to to get away from being forced to eat typical pasta, steak and fish.

We first ordered the Frittura Di Mare appetizer (3rd picture) which was very savory & satisfying along with two glasses of CA mont Sangue that our very helpful and kind server Haley was able to recommend us this amazing sweet red wine. They also provided us with some delicious bread that paired with a herb and oil dip that was very good. We would definitely recommend the Chicken Paprikash (2nd photo) as it was very delicious. The Pappardelle Bolognese (1st photo) was good however we wished there was more cheese on it. Overall, we would highly recommend Chanta and will definitely eat here again.

What a truly special place! I am embarrassed that we did not know this wonderful restaurant existed. Chanta is this amazing upscale restaurant cooked by the family we wish we all had when it comes to food. Vanessa greeted us at the door and was our hostess and waitress. She knew everything about each dish and each wine ( I found wonderful new wines I never knew existed). Her parents and grandparents were cooking. And man they can cook. Started with cheese bread and eggplant spread… best ever!! We then had lamb and chicken dishes…. Can not wait to go back!!!

Chanta is a charming European restaurant offering you food you may find in homes all across Europe. Between the decor, home style cooking, and the cozy feeling, it’s almost as if a family had invited you into their home. The food was amazing and you can feel the love in it only generational recipes can provide. Still dreaming about their cappuccino and papanashi!

I’ve always walked by and wanted to try this place, so I finally made a reservation and came on a weeknight. I was told the restaurant is family owned and operated serving traditional eastern European dishes. I ordered the Schweine schnitzel with creamy mushrooms, and the eggplant spread. Everything exceeded my expectations and surprisingly was able to eat most of it. I’d love to come back and order the lamb, which requires 24 hours advance notice. I’ve been told by my neighbor that it is to die for!
