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.

Anchoring Saratoga's vibrant downtown Forno Bistro is a family-owned bistro that offers a variety of rustic, Tuscan-style food rooted in tradition. Our chef's use only the freshest seasonal ingredients to prepare dishes with respect to their flavors, appearance and aroma. The menu is sophisticated but approachable, expressing the sense of hearth and home that defines the Tuscan style of life. Forno Bistro's rustic, Tuscan-style food is hearty and unpretentious with sophisticated flavors rooted in tradition and always open to new interpretations and adaptations. Many of our dishes are greatly influenced by the use of the wood-fired oven: homemade pizzas, sautéed calamari, and wood-fired towers of vegetables. The oven is always the inspiration.

    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.

    Very nice restaurant. The serving staff is friendly and polite. They need training by the management in order to go to the next level. Example: they wiped off my table between dishes but the table was left wet. I had the waiter bring a dry cloth to wipe the wet table.

    Boca Bistro has a nice selection of food - definitely something for everyone. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and was helpful in selecting a wine. We started with the omelette, fried artichokes and cauliflower then ordered entrees of chicken and the Mediterranean bowl with shrimp. All were delicious.
