Saratoga Springs… Known for the horse races… This quaint little town has a downtown that hosts a number of small shops and restaurants… After spending the day at the races, we walked thru downtown visiting some of those stores while we waited for our scheduled dinner reservations…
Tonight's dining adventure would take us to Chianti IL Ristorante… From the moment we announced our arrival, we felt completely welcomed… We were seated in one of the dining rooms to the left. Our server tonight; Kevin… Kevin knew the menu like the back of his hand and with passion described each dish in full detail… I could practically taste each dish from Kevin’s descriptions…
Our feast started with the Salumi e Formaggi… Assortment italian cold cuts and cheeses with spicy mostarda... For the first time I was introduced to the Caper Berry… Beautifully arranged on a wooden cutting board… It tasted as good as it looked!
Next… The Coccio... Calamari, garlic and herbs sautéed in a delicately spiced tomato broth with a side of crostini… An amazing sauce with a kick that just screamed for bread…
Then the Tiger Shrimp… Where do I even begin with this one…? A four ounce Shrimp served with mixed greens… Wow… Just wow!...
If you tell them what you want, if they have it, they'll accommodate your request even if it's not on the menu… The product that executive chef Fabrizio Bazzani creates in his kitchen is nothing short of magic!
Our mains this evening...
Linguini Vongole...Clams with an accompanying sauce over pasta was amazing!
Pork Shoulder Ossobucco served with Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans… I honestly have never tasted a dish this good and mind you I've had this dish in many fine restaurants… Many really well prepared but none exactly perfect like this one!The tangyness of the sauce was something my palate just was not prepared for… Other than the bone, I ate every morsel of this dish…
Veal Chop… Prepared medium rare was another delight to the senses… Like the Ossobucco, accompanied by Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans… Magical…
Strip Steak… Prepared Medium was fabulous!
We shared a half order of the house pasta special… A Rigatoni with white wine, mushrooms and Veal was another one of those amazing accompaniments that just tied everything together…
As if our senses weren't already on overload, out comes the dessert… Semifreddo Mascarpone E Ciocciolato...Semi frozen dessert of ricotta and mascarpone cheese with rose water, almonds, and chocolate bits… The chocolate, attached to the plate added a challenge to the dessert placed atop it...
Add to this the Chocolate Hazelnut Gelato, a double Espresso and a couple of Cappuccinos and life is truly complete… And mind you prior to tonight I did not eat anything Hazelnut but this was just so good…
This place is a perfect ten! From the personal attention of Jim the manager, Kevin our server and David the owner, for our first time here it was an extremely special evening! So much so we've already planned our return visit… Despite the fact that it's a seven hour drive round trip, we’ll make a weekend…
If an amazing dining experience with off the charts attentive customer service is your bag, I've got the perfect restaurant for you; Chianti IL Ristorante in Saratoga Springs, New York! Ask for Jim and tell him Paul sent you… You'll love it as much as we did… It bears repeating… Wow!
