Pennell’s is a great Italian restaurant! They have a limited menu, but everything is so good. The atmosphere is very unique, and the employees are very good as well. One notable thing that I haven’t seen many restaurants do these days is serve a side salad, which was delicious as well. Highly recommended!

Their steaks are phenomenal! A must try for all. We weren’t left unattended which was so refreshing as so many restaurants are understaffed and tend to address those coming in quicker than bringing a check over. But not here. It is always pleasant. Pricey but you do get what you pay for.

This is a must go to when in Saratoga. I was there with a group of eight and the service was outstanding. Everything was served at the perfect time, you weren’t rushed but you weren’t waiting for the next course either. When you go, the Clams Bianco is the appetizer I recommend. I could have just asked for an extra loaf of bread and soaked up the sauce for my dinner, it was that good. The salad with the house dressing was excellent and the entree portions are large. We were so full that none of us even tried the desserts. The coffee and Sambuca rounded out the meal perfectly though.

Driven by a million times. SO glad we went. Traditional American Italian fare. So delicious. You won’t be disappointed. Definitely make a reservation, the place was packed! We had a large party and they didn’t miss a beat. Our table was ready in time, our food was hot and delicious, nothing not to like!

Hands down the best Italian food I have had in years. The service is impeccable and all around a fantastic experience. I definitely recommend the meatballs. If you sit at the bar Shelia and Tim will take great care of you. My wife and I can’t wait to go back.

A MUST every time I visit Saratoga Racetrack I crave Pennell’s. Make Reservations, unless you get lucky like me w/ a seat at the bar, which I prefer. Ol school New York ambiance w/ the wooden bar that you never want to change. Love the bartender & company at the bar. All very hardworking chefs, staff & absolutely wonderful owner, Bruce.
To start, we always order the Clams Bianco. Garlicky-butter goodness! The bread to dip into the white wine clam sauce, devine!
Veal Parmigiana is the BEST I’ve ever had! Over penne pasta this time. It’s huge so I was excited to eat it the next day & I never take home leftovers & eat them. A+
NY Strip totally melts in your mouth. Cooked to perfection accompanied by buttery mashed potatoes & green beans.
Makes me hungry writing this review!
Almost forgot the entrees come with a salad & all the dressing are homemade, or at least the ones I’ve had. The Blue Cheese & Thousand Island are wonderful, but the ladies next to me had a special ranch dressing that I have to try next August when I’m back!
Everything I’ve had here had been A+ & always a great experience. I hope they get the Meomi Pinot Noir back next time, but either way I’ll be back!!

I’m from Brooklyn, so I have a special place in my heart for the old school, Italian-American, garlic and oil/red sauce joints of my youth. There are plenty of restaurants that have that style of menu, but the restaurants that do it well are becoming rare. I’m adding Pennell’s to that elite list.
Ambiance:
We were there for a sixth-grade class reunion (don’t ask…just organize one for yourself…trust me, you’ll thank me later) where we dined in their party room in the back. Great for events. We had about 20 people. Seemed very homey in the rest of the restaurant.
Food:
Portions were sizable, so you’re not just ordering dinner, you’re taking home your lunch that you’re going to heat up and enjoy the next day. Everything was cooked beautifully, but the shining star was the NY Strip Steak.
Staff:
The thing that impressed me most though was the staff.
The young woman who organized our event on the day—”Neigh-Alicia”—(of course that’s not how it’s spelled…I’m writing it phonetically) was delightful, thoughtful, responsive, and readily accommodating to our needs.
Cameron and Talon (yes…as in an eagle’s claw) were so efficient, but more than that—were confident enough to interact and communicate with us directly so that their service made our event run more smoothly.
And to top it all off… We were having so much fun that we were lingering too long after closing time. I have never been kicked out of an establishment so sweetly and politely.
I’m dining at Pennell’s again when I’m back in this neck of the woods. You should too.

Pennell’s never disappoints. The food is fantastic and the portions are ridiculously big. Dan the Bar Man is excellent…attentive without being overwhelming. Prices are great. Had the Shrimp and Scallops Marinara which was top shelf. Friends had the Chicken Parm and the Haddock which was as she said “the best she’s ever had”.

The food is always hot and delicious. The service is on point and the atmosphere is unique to the space, not dated but timeless. One of my favorite places in Saratoga.

We had dinner here in June and it was superlative in every way!
Every detail was perfect: fresh salads constructed with sturdy, fresh lettuce and topped house-made dressings (the garlic ranch was especially divine); my husband’s strip steak was charred a perfect Pittsburgh; my Haddock Francaise was moist, lemony, and delicious. You know a restaurant has their act together when even side dishes are excellent: the French green beans were exquisite as were the mashed potatoes. Our waitress, Alyssa, was friendly, and very professional.
We haven’t been to a restaurant in many years where we could say everything was a home run, but Pennell’s pulled it off. Even the bus boys were nice!
