There’s something magical about Saratoga Springs in the summertime—long days, bustling streets, and the excitement of the track season in full swing. At Chianti il Ristorante, we embrace the season with timeless Italian dishes that shine this time of year, perfect for lingering evenings on Broadway. From crisp salads and vibrant pastas to indulgent desserts and cocktails, here’s what to savor this summer at Chianti.
Tagliata E Rughetta
Few dishes capture the spirit of Italian summer dining quite like our Tagliata. This show-stopping 14oz prime strip is grilled to perfection, sliced, and served over a lively salad of arugula and radicchio with shaved Grana Padano, sea salt, and olive oil. Naturally gluten-free and ideal for sharing over a bottle of Barolo.
Bufala Caprese (GF)
Simple, elegant, and undeniably summery. Imported mozzarella di bufala pairs with heirloom tomatoes, prosciutto, and a drizzle of basil oil—bringing the bright flavors of Italy right to your table. A gluten-free starter that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Penne Senesi (Vegetarian)
For something heartier yet still light enough for warm weather, our Penne Senesi is a standout. Sautéed spinach with garlic and oil, Gorgonzola, crushed red pepper flakes, breadcrumbs, and toasted almonds come together in a dish that balances richness and zest. A satisfying vegetarian option that’s perfect with a chilled glass of wine.
Espresso Martini
And for a little pick-me-up after dinner? Try our Espresso Martini. With Espresso Vodka, Vanilla Vodka, Coffee Liqueur, Chocolate Liqueur, and fresh-pulled espresso, it’s a decadent way to wrap up your night—or kick it into the next chapter.
House-Made Gelato & Sorbetto
No summer evening is complete without something sweet. Ask about our rotating flavors of house-made gelato and sorbetto, showcasing fresh fruits, classic Italian inspirations and a few new twists. A refreshing way to end your meal, whether you’re going for creamy gelato or bright refreshing sorbetto.
Whether you’re dining before an evening at the races or simply enjoying Saratoga’s lively summer nights, Chianti il Ristorante offers the classics you’ll return to all season long. Make your reservation and let our team take care of the rest.
