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

    Group of 6 for dinner; table was ready when we arrived. Once again, as always, the food and our server, Kevin were outstanding! Had the time to enjoy our friends and food without being rushed. Fabrizio’s kitchen did a great job with the food and Kevin really knows the menu to recommend an item or guide someone less familiar with the menu to an item they will enjoy. Angel is always pleasant with a greeting when you arrive and the bussers also gave us enough “space” to enjoy our food without making anyone feel rushed. All in all, a great night of food without being rushed friends. Thank you to everyone at Chianti for helping make that happen.

    We went to Chianti for the first time for our wedding anniversary, and it was wonderful. The food was phenomenal; we ordered a shrimp and prosciutto appetizer, the scallop and clam pasta, and rack of lamb. Everything was perfect. Service was fast and attentive, and the restaurant was beautiful and well-appointed. We only wish it had been a tad quieter; the restaurant is pretty tightly packed and it was a full house, to the noise level during the first half of our dinner was loud. Still, we will absolutely come back!

    We love. Chianti and dying here whenever we are in the area. Service is always friendly, welcoming and professional. Food is delicious with many innovative specials per evening. The noise level is off the chart! It is always very loud, we are willing to overlook this because we love the food and service so much, but I can be quite a challenge. Not sure who is issue could be addressed as the dining room tables are very tightly squeezed into the space. Maybe something management can look at in the future. We will continue, to patronize this restaurant because we do love it.

    Service was great! Kevin is a knowledgeable and attentive server. Overall the food was very good, and we would have given 5 stars had the scallops been cooked with a little sear. It’s the little details that make all the difference.
