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.

    My husband and I just purchased the Adelphi hotel residency. We go to Salt & Char quite often. We love,love, love this restaurant. Service, atmosphere to the waitstaff from the minute you walk into the restaurant. Especially Tyler the chef is a very talented and amazing down to earth human. Once of his creation butternut squash soup is to die for and I am hoping that soup will make it to the menu in the very near future.

    we splurged for a nice dinner out up in Saratoga at Morrissys on Broadway. Slightly upscale atmosphere , nice sushi bar, with quieter dining area past the bar. We had some craft cocktails and split a lobster salad to start. Susan had seafood risotto while I had seared scollops. Nice selection of wines by the glass or bottle. Attentive and adequate wait staff, our server Emily was personable and knowledgeable. A place we plan to visit again.
