Nestled in the vibrant heart of Saratoga Springs, Osteria Danny is a cozy Italian restaurant that has quietly built a reputation as one of the Capital Region’s culinary standouts.
From exciting casino action and live harness racing to upscale accommodations, fine dining, and live music, it’s the perfect place to play, stay, and unwind.
Whether you’re in town for a weekend getaway, a day at the track, or just a night out with friends, Saratoga Casino Hotel combines the energy of a casino with the charm and sophistication of the historic Saratoga region.
At Osteria Danny, the menu is crafted fresh each day, reflecting the chef’s mood, the season, and the best available ingredients. This allows for playful variations and dishes you might not find twice—but always within the bounds of authentic Italian tradition.
Regular highlights include:
Burrata with roasted tomatoes and basil oil
Lobster Risotto with lemon and herbs
Cacio e Pepe – simple, perfect, and deeply satisfying
House-made Gnocchi, often paired with short rib ragu or pesto
Pan-seared Branzino or veal Milanese, depending on the night
And of course, there’s always a decadent dessert on offer—like a pistachio panna cotta, olive oil cake, or espresso-drenched tiramisu.
Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available, and the wine list is curated to complement the food, featuring both Italian imports and local selections.
Osteria Danny is housed in a modest building just off Broadway, but don’t let the understated exterior fool you. Inside, you’ll find a charming, candlelit space with exposed brick, warm wood tones, and an open kitchen that fills the room with delicious aromas.
The ambiance is romantic but unfussy—you’ll feel just as comfortable in jeans as in your Saratoga summer finest. With only a handful of tables, service is highly personalized, and staff are happy to walk you through the nightly specials or recommend wine pairings.
Chef Danny Petrosino, formerly of Mamma Mia’s and a Saratoga fixture, opened Osteria Danny with a simple goal: serve food with soul, tradition, and a touch of surprise. That philosophy has earned the restaurant a loyal following and a place on many lists of the best restaurants in Upstate New York. And it’s been featured in New York By Rail’s very own Saratoga Springs: Restaurant City highlighting the best of the Spa City.
The restaurant is open everyday starting at 5:00 pm and is open until 9:00 pm Monday – Friday and until 10:00 pm Saturday and Sunday. The menu changes frequently so every visit, expect something new.
