Italian Restaurants near Rutherfordton

“Usually I have a good experience eating at Gregory’s. It’s one of the few places around that still has a salad bar. That is what I ordered today…a one trip salad bar. However, the inappropriately dressed millennial waitress wearing nude spandex short, shorts, never brought me a plate. When I went to the counter to ask for a salad plate, she made eye contact with me and then turned around, continuing to ignore me while talking to another waitress. Nope…not going to be ignored! How difficult is it to bring a plate to my table so I can serve myself from your salad bar??? There are other restaurants in town! And what a shame for the inappropriately dressed millennial waitress wearing nude spandex short, shorts who was too lazy to bring me a plate…I left a nice tip to the appropriately dressed young woman (who was also wearing shorts) at the other restaurant!“

“Alba and Mario have a fantastic restaurant. Homemade Italian food at its finest. I had eggplant parm and hubby had chicken parm - you could taste the authentic flavored rapped in the dish. We happened upon Mario’s on drive between Chattanooga to Charlotte. It’s a small place but Alba is on top of her customers with a positive attitude. We got to chatting at the end of the night and explained that it was our 27th wedding anniversary… Albas wishes were so kind and sincere and honestly this was the best dinner choice. We finished with a slice of chocolate cake and it was rich and Devine. This is definitely a repeat location!!“

“I had the Margherita pizza and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The crust, sauce, cheese, and fresh basil were all excellent. I sat at the bar during a pretty busy rush, and while the pizza and a couple of drinks took a little while to come out, it looked like they were short staffed and doing the best they could. The bar service was still good, and everything was worth the wait. The atmosphere was really nice too, with a rustic and comfortable feel. I had a great experience overall and would definitely come back.“
