Best Restaurants with a Notable Wine List in Saratoga Springs

Twice a year, I drive 2 hours to pick up my wife from the Montreal train after a family visit. The train arrives at 7 and we always look for a place to eat after her 8-hour journey. This year, she traveled on a Monday, when not many restaurants are open. I searched for an Italian restaurant and stumbled on this jewel of intimate dining. It is located in what used to be Albany’s Little Italy and appears to be one of the few survivors. It’s stayed on for over 40 years, and for good reason. The staff was attentive and welcoming. The appetizer we had-the eggplant - is a long-standing menu items and was far and away the best we’ve ever had, even in Italy or Boston’s North End. The main dining room was pretty full but amazingly quiet. Both of us really enjoyed the cod and chicken main dishes. Will most definitely return

Unique and excellent tasting experience. Everything we had was fantastic and wasn't anything that we have had previously anywhere. While we have had octopus, pork and short ribs before, never with the flavor and tenderness.

A friend recommended dining at the Dorset Inn and we couldn't have been more delighted with the excellent food, friendly, attentive service and overall experience.

A restaurant that never misses a beat. Warm, professional service compliments superb food in every respect. Personally, I could be blindfolded and point at the menu and be delighted with the choice.

Wonderful, friendly service, very tasty food (especially the BBQ pulled shortvribs and sweet potato fries).
