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

    Our table was ready on time. We weren't rushed at all. Food was tasty and hot upon service. Our server, Kevin, was excellent as always! Main comment is that I would like to see them change up the menu to offer different dishes. Food is always prepared well, but options are stale. Would rather see more Italian "specials"versus a $50.00 dry aged ribeye steak.

    The food was delicious. I highly recommend the carpaccio Chianti and the orecchiette alla norma. The service was ok—it was a little more hands off than we were used to. Our server never checked how our entrees were or asked if we needed anything. But the food more than made up for that.

    Four of us met at Chianti’s to catch up after a two year hiatus. First time for us to enjoy this venue. Our service wait server Liz, was excellent and attentive. Food and drinks arrived promptly.

    Seated right away. Pleasant & professional staff. My food was very good but my 3 companions said their pastas were just good. Nothing spectacular. I highly recommend the lenti & quinoa starter. My vodka penne was light & tasty but a bit salty. My husband thought his pasta was a bit too garlicky & he enjoys garlic. Bread & wine were excellent.

    The food was decent. There was a range from fried to fruitti di mare. I think each dish could have been a little finer for what the meal tried to be. Maybe it was just a busy night and also a bit loud. The wait staff was attentive.

    Food was amazing. Service was really quite good. Super impressed with server’s ability to recite from memory a long and detailed list of specials and prices. Love that she informed us of specials’ prices without having to ask! (Can every restaurant please do this?!) My only complaint (after working in fine dining myself) is that my water glass too frequently was allowed to reach empty and remain so for prolonged periods. Restaurant was a bit loud for a romantic dinner for my wife and me, but it was good natured.

    New Year’s Eve. The service was excellent. The food was very good except for the New York strip steak. We ordered medium rare and it came out more on the medium. Also, it was very fatty and didn’t seem like it was a prime cut of steak. Definitely not the best, but overall still very good dinner.

    Went for New Year’s Eve and everything was spectacular. From the shrimp appetizer, both types of carpaccio, dry aged none-in ribeye, and my favorite of the night, the veal osso bucco.
