Chianina is part of the Visa Nights program, offering customers with Visa Signature or Infinite cards issued by local banks a complimentary bottle of Laurent-Perrier champagne or Origen de Resalte wine with their dinner. Learn more about the program here.
Located on Avenida FD Roosevelt, Chianina is the new destination for lovers of Italian cuisine and high-quality meats in San Juan. The project grows out of a shared vision among chefs Xavier Toro Santos (Rare 125, Primitivō Miramar), Wilson Guzmán (Jacinta) and Javier Hernández, who bring their talents together to create a singular concept: an Italian steakhouse that celebrates the best of both culinary traditions.
The restaurant takes its name from the chianina, one of Italy's most prestigious cattle breeds, known for its tender meat and exceptional flavor.
More than a steakhouse, more than a trattoria
What sets Chianina apart is its Italian steakhouse concept, one that has rarely been explored on the Island and combines the best of two culinary worlds. That fusion takes shape in a menu where premium cuts of meat are paired with Italian pasta tradition, creating a singular dining experience.

Among its most notable dishes is the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a cut prepared with the respect that Tuscan tradition deserves, enhanced with fresh herbs. Fresh pasta, made in-house daily, shines in creations such as the Tagliatelle al Ragù, where the pasta's perfect texture meets a rich sauce that evokes Italian family kitchens.
For those drawn to more delicate flavors, the Risotto ai Funghi offers a creamy experience with wild mushrooms, while the Carpaccio di Manzo elevates simplicity to an art form with thin slices of beef dressed with extra-virgin olive oil, drops of lemon and shavings of aged Parmesan.
And what about dessert?
The desserts at Chianina deserve their own chapter. The Tiramisú, prepared according to the traditional recipe, achieves that perfect balance of coffee, mascarpone and sponge cake that defines this Italian classic.
A unique experience
Beyond its food, Chianina offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere suited to both casual dinners and special occasions. Whether you are looking for a romantic dinner, a celebration with friends or simply a great meal, Chianina provides the right setting.
For those who appreciate a complete dining experience, Chianina also has an extensive wine list with more than 150 labels, carefully selected to pair with each dish on the menu.
