Very nice restaurant with an interesting menu, reasonably drink prices, really enjoyed the steak which was prepared perfectly to my specifications. This is a must stop when in Saratoga.

One in our party ordered the Penne pasta. It was very good but the portion was very small. Almost looked like a side order. The waiter had to get the manager in order for them to bring a little more pasta. The bolenase meat sauce was dry. Tasted just like chopped meat on top of the pasta. They were very busy so the service was slow.

Food -and wine were really excellent, top quality, great pasta and risotto. Service was very good although the wait was longer than it should have been. We liked the small rooms seating, far preferable to large open room where you gave to shout to talk.

We had a simple pasta dish that was delightful, nice and light which is exactly what we wanted. The bruschetta before it was great as was the teeny tiramisu after (it ended up being the perfect size.) Our waiter was attentive and as we were there to celebrate our anniversary, the restaurant took the dessert off our bill. A very nice overall experience.

The restaurant was very busy. Staff is super friendly and professional, service was great. Food was phenomenal. I had spaghetti with clam sauce and scallops, my wife had the Bolognese. The Seafood tasted fresh and delicious. The couple who was with us are both gluten-free. Their gluten-free pasta with seafood dishes were spectacular. They loved it and said that typically when they go out, it is difficult to get a good gluten-free pasta and this was some of the best they've ever had. They were extremely happy.

This is our favorite restaurant in Saratoga and perhaps the best restaurant in Saratoga. We have been coming here for years on our summer visits and it never disappoints. The food is fabulous and the service is impeccable. After we dine here, we talk about our meal there for days! Highly recommend!

Every thing was perfect. From the huge minute we arrived early and was able to be seated right away to the very last bite.

As always Chianti never disappoints. Great food great service. My favorite restaurant when I'm in Saratoga.

Steve

Food was excellent but service was not. We had a reservation but were late being seated and our server seemed to forget about us a few times during the meal. Not an overall good experience.

Kim

We were sat exactly at our reservation time. We were greeted by our server right away, drinks were delivered quickly, food was amazing from start to finish, service was top notch. One of the best restaurants we have eaten at in Saratoga.

Celebrated w/ out of town family after a winning day at the Track - everything was spectacular. Food was amazing - great salads to start; main courses were Medici risotto; specialty beef cheek risotto; capellini alla checca; and of course, house favorite tagliatelle bolognese. Chef Fabrizio came out to say hello after our meal. Mackenzie did an awesome job as our server. Megan and Jessica were experts in helping us enjoy a crafted cocktail nightcap at the bar. Best restaurant in Saratoga! Thank you!

What a disappointment! Highly rated restaurant failed to deliver. Came to Chianti with four former college roommates (graduated in 1971). Hoping for an outstanding meal and pleasant restaurant experience on our last day in Saratoga. Seating process was absolutely chaotic. We waited with many other guests for over 20 minutes in a section with servers moving about with drinks and dinner trays. The room in which we were eventually seated was absolute bedlam. The noise level was almost painful and literally impossible to engage in comfortable conversation. The cause of the noise was from two tables in the room, and there was no effort on the part of the restaurant staff to quiet these diners down. The noise levels from these tables was equivalent to screaming at times. Even the wait staff rolled their eyes when we commented. The process for getting our drink and food orders was rather slow, but, more importantly, the food turned out to be very mediocre Italian fare. Would highly recommend that you skip this restaurant in favor of others in Saratoga.

This was our second time eating here. The first experience was way better than the second. I got the dry aged steak "special", which didn't taste good and was tough. For a $78.00 steak I only ate half. My wife got a pasta dish with shrimp that was delicious. It was a let down considering our first experience was so good. One thing to be said is their drinks are excellent, everything we have ordered was perfect.

We ate here after attending the Races at the track. We liked that the restaurant was off Broadway, as the parking was a little easier. The server was so nice. She was able to accommodate our friends vegetarian palette. And as we were celebrating two wedding anniversaries, we were treated to dessert. we will be back

Absolutely a fine dining experience! The food was amazing. The Carpaccio is the finest we have ever had. Our waitress was attentive like we were family. Loved it!
