About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Romantic
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

    The service was attentive and the food is OK. I don’t recommend this restaurant to any party with an odd number of people. They will shoe horn you into an uncomfortable cramped table. This was our experience and I noticed several others in a similar situation. My request for an adjustment was met with contentious indifference.

    Fried calamari app was tender but a bit pale. Mushroom risotto was excellent. The shrimp with angel hair pasta was tasty but the shrimp were a bit overcooked. Got a complementary anniversary dessert, that was lovely.

    We decided on Chianti based on reviews online. The dining staff are pleasant and hardworking. However, we unfortunately were placed at a table in a smaller room with dull lighting and the noise was incredibly LOUD. We could not have a conversation throughout dinner. The food is quite lackluster. We ordered the lamb and the spaghetti Oro di Cabras. Both were very bland in flavor. The onions on the lamb were the best part. The spaghetti had a warmth from the bottarga, however it was otherwise dry and flavorless. For the price paid, we expected better. Sorry, Chianti.

    Dear Kelly, Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your meals. Our culinary team is very talented and takes the quality of the food they produce very seriously. I wish you had informed a manager so they could have addressed your concerns immediately. I am deeply sorry we missed the mark with your evening. Our guests' feedback is very important to me as it provides me with insight to continue to coach and train our team. I will advise our Executive Chef of our concerns and will do everything to correct any issues we may have. I hope you consider dining with us again in the future. Sincerely, Nancy Bambara, VP, DZ Restaurants.
