About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
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

    Had a great dinner at Chianti! The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and the food was fresh and flavorful. Our server, McKenna, was a standout—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal. She had a great attitude and made the four of us feel welcome from the start! We love the DZ restaurants.

    Very loud but very good restaurant. If you can get past the noise, the food and service are excellent. We were there on a Friday night in a small room off the main dining room. The menu is great and has something for everyone. Everyone loved their meals, but the standouts were the cacio e pepe pasta, the duck and the artisanal pasta with lobster special. Would go back.

    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.
