Saratoga Bistro & Bar Closes

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Three Vines, an Italian bistro and bar located in Congress Plaza, closed its doors on March 28 after more than a decade in business.

Originally opened in Oct. 2014, the eatery weathered a number of storms, including the sudden death of its chef/owner Serafino Zaccone on Jan. 18, 2018. Zaccone, who was only 35 when he passed, launched Three Vines with his brothers-in-law Joe Krason and Alex Nikola.

“This was not an easy decision,” Three Vines said in a social media post. “In fact, it’s one of the hardest we’ve had to make. But sometimes life calls you in a new direction, and it’s time for us to move on to the next chapter. This isn’t goodbye forever — just goodbye for now.”

Three Vines prided itself on serving handcrafted Italian classics and creating a familial atmosphere.
