When writing a review what do you chose to write about? well…read morein this one I guess I will just jump around. There are some really well put together dishes, rather tasty dishes and some that need to be left off the menu. Tasty? the Spaghetti Bolognese!!!! and the Stuffed calamari! (when they have it on special) and MOST of their pizzas! I am NOT a fan of their calamari, but I am a Calamari snob. The staff for the most part are attentive and very good at their job. There are some who do need some fine tuning on their customer service. But over all, this place is worth a visit.

RATED "...FAMILY RESTAURANT WITH DELICIOUS AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CUISINE..."…read more We don't usually go out for Italian food - having an Italian heritage means you never quite enjoy the experience - you've always got the almost genuine article to compare it to - Mum's lasagna al forno, Aunty T's home-made pane di casa, Cousin J's torta alla ricotta and it goes on...... So... it is with real pleasure... that I announce - a NEW FIND - CHIARA CUCINA ITALIANA in Kealba [St Albans]. We booked a table for six, for last night, and just hoped for the best... We knew, almost immediately, we were onto something pretty damn good, as we watched the BIG dishes of STEAMING BEAUTIFULLY COOKED, and SMOTHERED WITH HOME-STYLE SMELLING and LOOKING SAUCE, EXTRA WIDE PAPPARDELLE being carried to other tables... The PIZZAS also... LOOKED and SMELLED DIVINE... Hey...!!! We all thought... We're in for a good feed tonight...!!! WE WEREN'T DISAPPOINTED... Between us we had the folowing dishes... Entrees: SOUP OF THE DAY - CAULIFLOWER - Huge serving.. Huge flavour.. Creamy.. Smooth.. GARLIC & OREGANO PIZZETTA - Crisp thin dough.. Fresh garlic.. Lots of oregano.. Good olive oil.. ITALIAN SAUSAGE - Spicy pork salsicce, sliced.. Good tomato salsa.. Fresh white cheese, crumbled.. Scooped up and eaten with pane di casa bread.. Mains: CHICKEN PARMIGIANA - Thick chicken breast.. Napoli sauce.. Fior di latte mozzarella.. Fat rosemary chips.. Well-dressed very fresh rocket salad.. CRUMBED VEAL - Thin slices tender vitello.. Sweet and sour peperonata.. Fresh crisp cabbage and caper salad.. SAUTEED CHICKEN - Thick tender chicken breast.. Tomato and pancetta sauce.. Sweet potato mash.. Olive oil and lemon dressed greens.. Desserts: PANNACOTTA - Beautiful.. TIRAMISU - .. Water to table: Not chilled.. but it was filtered.. AND was poured.. We wanted to end with coffee - Smelled wonderful.. tried hard, couldn't fit it in...... next time.. Re Service: Friendly.. Efficient.. Energetic.. Loved that after each course, they would ask if everything had been okay... Yes... everything was much more than okay... except for two things - and I must be honest - not quite enough desserts on the menu.. and the Tiramisu was a little disappointing... Honestly... this didn't really matter on the night - we'd been overwhelmed by the flavours of the savoury food... Re Ambience.. Look it's not stunning visually - It's a very good.. very clean.. traditional type.. family friendly eatery.. BUT they do have thick white cotton cloths, contemporary table-ware.. and last night.. fresh white lilacs on table.. Thoroughly enjoyed this meal... Will definitely visit again... BEST BIT - We had Groupon Vouchers x 2 - The meal was an absolute steal... and included a complimentary glass of very drinkable pink moscato or a house dry red...!!! [Our gratitude and thanks..] REGULAR PRICES - Fair considering both QUALITY OF INGREDIENTS and PORTION SIZES.. Visited on Friday 23 October for Dinner with family and friends.

I expected mediocrity at high prices and I was still disappointed.

Pizza Diavola was nice, but the Pizza Rustica was bland and heavy, and the veal scallopine had split by the time it had arrived to the table.

They could serve me a plate of plain pizza dough here and I'd be in heaven!…read more We booked for 6:30 on a Tuesday night and to my surprise it was actually quite busy. We were tucked away in a windowed corner, worrying me that we would never been seen by staff. I clearly had nothing to worry about - everyone was attentive, fast and funnily enough, Italian! It took us about 2 seconds to choose our meals. I'm used to going to 90 secondi which has an identical menu. Margherita and gnocchi with 2 glasses of Sangiovese rosé. It couldn't of been more than 10 minutes before everyone was on the table in front of us! Absolutely delicious and the perfect share meal. Once we'd scoffed down the food we opted for the Nutella calzone. GET IT! Don't worry about the rest of the menu. Just get the calzone! It was almost more satisfying than the meal itself! So much chocolate, so so much chocolate and delicious pizza dough and perfect ice cream. It's very big though and can easily be shared with 2-4. It's nice to know there's an authentic pizza place less than 10 minutes from home for something a little different to the takeaway joint around the corner. It's made the regular list.

(Some dishes seemed to on the expensive side however..) I ordered the Eggs Benedict (with a side of Avocado) and it was super yum. I got 2 whole muffins (4 halfs) instead of the usual 2, which was nice and filling. The eggs were poached OK (ok - 1 was messed up) and the hollandaise seemed very saucy and watery but I actually really liked it.. (see pic added). My 2 companions also enjoyed their dishes. Gluten free pizza and mushroom risotto went down a treat. One person had a cappuccino and she said it was excellent. All in all fine food (Eggs Benedict was good value and yum) and service was fine too...
