Chianina — Restaurant in San Juan

Every time I travel to Puerto Rico for business, Chianina is at the top of my list. I’ve dined here multiple times, and each visit reaffirms why I keep coming back.

The food is consistently excellent—truly, I can’t pick a favorite dish because everything I’ve tried has been delicious. But what really makes Chianina stand out is the team. Giovani is incredibly knowledgeable and always has spot-on recommendations that elevate the dining experience.

When I come in for lunch, I usually sit at the bar, where Ashley takes amazing care of me. She’s one of the best mixologists I’ve come across; every cocktail she creates is outstanding.

The service is absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening, or for any...

Chianina is one of those places that you HAVE to come back to, because in one visit you can’t possibly try everything. So far I’ve returned twice and absolutely everything is divine! The food is top notch, the atmosphere is relax and the servers are friendly and attentive to your needs, answering menu and wine questions so you know exactly what you are getting. The chef Javier even came to the table (it was not a busy night) and was kind enough to ask about the meal and how was everything and recommended dessert (a lemon poundcake that is incredible!). Chianina is a place that I will definitely go back to and look forward to...
