About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Charming
Situated in the heart of beautiful downtown Saratoga Springs, Chianti Il Ristorante serves sophisticated, authentic Northern Italian fare in an elegant setting. Combining seasonal food, an award-winning wine selection, a welcoming and knowledgeable staff and a detailed, inviting ambiance Chianti provides every guest with a superb and unforgettable dining experience. Aesthetically inspiring, its rustic walls, hard wood floors and green onyx bar invoke the authenticity of conventional Italian architecture while remaining slightly modern. The culinary philosophy at Chianti is based on a respect for tradition. With artisan breads and pastas, housemade sausage and braised meats it is culinary craftsmanship at its best. Our guests have the chance to savor fresh food, from a selection of expertly-sliced carpaccio, to a variety of wild fish, to risotto that is made only with Vialone Nano rice grown exclusively in Italy's Venetto region. "The hottest restaurant in town." The New York Times

    This was our second time dining here. We were lucky to have the same waiter. I can’t remember his name but he is the most professional and friendly waiter. We loved our food. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    We were delighted to celebrate our anniversary at Chianti's. And, we drove 2 hours from home to do it! Well worth the trip. From the bartender who recommended a drink similar to a Bloody Mary (but lighter) to Kevin, our server, we had professional and friendly service. The Capellini Checca was outstanding--fresh and tasty. The Bolognese was wonderful. Can't wait to make the trip again. Thanks, Chianti's!

    Had another wonderful dining experience. We had a salad to start with Gorgonzola and fried pancetta which was excellent! For the entrees we had penne alla vodka and a pasta dish with sausage that was spicy. Both were excellent as always. The tiramisu was good but not a true tiramisu. It was a light mousse with tiramisu flavor. No ladyfingers. While still very good I do miss a true tiramisu. Our waiter always provides the absolute best service!!! Would definitely recommend!

    This has always been a special dining experience--dress up in summer season if you want or at least smart casual any other time. And the food has been in the past always top notch--especially for the price you pay. Our visit in April-this was not the case--many patrons in jeans, staff seemed in short supply and casual with no tie. We were in the sectioned off glass enclosed room--which was fine until it got busy--\ ONE waiter for the entire sectioned off room. He was pleasant--but because he was busy--he seemed rushed--and less attentive than we would expect for the price point and past reputation of being one of the top dining experiences in the city. The food ( pasta Norma, also pasta with lobster sauce and shrimp, shared salad and shared octopus special app.) were good but not exceptional. My wife and I both thought the pasta dishes were OVERSAUCED. A Very non-Italian thing to do!! Again food flavors were good--but for us the best part of the meal was the octopus app special which was DELICIOUS. Wine selection was also very good. But going back to the very casual overall experience of the crowd and waitstaff--along with food that did not impress for the $120.00 total for two pasta dishes, By the way--only the pasta of the day is homemade. 1 salad and 1 app and two glasses of wine--with tax and tip incl.---we would of been especially disappointed if we had "splurged" and went for a seafood or meat entree givien the casualness of the service, and overall casual ambiance of the dining experience. We were not expecting gourmet cuisine--or stuffy formal service--but we were remembering the past experiences tht wowed us with both food, service and attention to detail. and attentive, personable service. I guess time marches on.. We enjoy Boca much better for being consistently good, personable and attentive service and more reasonable pricing.
