“ Really good beef stroganof. Plenty of mushrooms and beef with a really thick creamy gravy, not clumpy at all. Awesome rich noodles. Very satisfying and filling. Wickedly good garlic bread. Not too greasy with lots of garlic flavour. A very hearty meal. Just had the lasagna, decent portion with a good sauce. Their house pasta dish with pork belly is utterly awesome! ”
“ Fantastic Pasta!! So many options, delicious flavours, well sized portions and very fresh tasting. I recommend anyone to come here for a bite to eat. Also the retro tunes is an added plus. My only con would be the plastic cutlery, a little hard to eat with those but regardless amazing experience ”

Search no more, for Chanoey's is serving up homemade pasta that rivals some of HRM's high-end, pricey establishments but at an attractive price point that will accommodate almost every budget. Tonight, I took the plunge and tried this modest eatery for the first time, along with three family members.

If you are a pasta lover with an adventurous food spirit, you must try their delicious offerings. There is nothing that can rival the taste and texture of freshly made pasta, and the owner-chef, Carl, was head chef at Il Trullo restaurant, which explains his expertise and flavour mastery. He is accompanied by his eager-to-please wife, who serves as hostess and sous chef. We tried just one dessert: the cannoli. I can honestly say that it was better than what I experienced even while in Italy. It is simply the best ending to an already perfect meal. ”
