14 Best Italian Restaurants in Chattanooga

“I've been a few times. The food was absolutely great one time, and one of us ordered the same dish the next time and it was mediocre. I haven't been enough times to say that the restaurant is inconsistent. I would like to lean on the great side. Bar is fine. Really good craft cocktails. I enjoyed that also. Atmosphere is also pretty cool.“

“This place is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be coming here again ASAP. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. And luckily, we were able to eat outside where we could see the mountains in the distance. It was beautiful. I had a “Make Your Own Pasta” with the homemade spinach linguine noodles with the tomato spinach sauce, as recommend by server, with grilled veggies. It was sooo delicious! Everything we had was awesome. Highly recommend!“

“I had the Veal Milanese and my wife had the chicken Alfredo, my daughter had the spaghetti. All were delicious. The veal was a little more sweet than I would like, but so good. The atmosphere was so quaint and homey, and the staff was excellent and friendly. The view is amazing. And the prices aren't atrocious.Kid-friendliness: My daughter got a kid's spaghetti.“

“My friend and I found this place by happy chance, just walking around. The place was packed but as there was only 2 of us they got us in right away. We were greeted warmly right away and were seated. Even though the place was busy we were given ample attention by every server that passed by. It's a quite fancy place and we were challenged reading through menu as they use the correct Italian names (I loved that btw but we are simple people over here) But with Yelp pictures we were able to make our choice. I decided on the Ricotta Cavatelli and I added chicken. It was so perfect! My friend got the salmon and said it was cooked perfectly. My favorite part was the seasonal vegetables that came in the dish, everything was cooked perfectly.“

“First time there.Had the Tagliolini Bolognese. The sauce was thick and flavorful. Pasta was tender and not mushy.Ceaser Salad, fresh and tasty.The owner was great, we had a table of 6, he came out and "Entertained" us; we talked, laughed and enjoyed the whole night.Will definitely go back when in Chattanooga.“

“Had a wonderful dinner for our anniversary. This was our first time eating here and they didn’t disappoint. Started with the eggplant rollatini, absolutely delicious! For our meals, my husband had the veal marsala and I had the veal francesca ??? combined with their amazing garlic rolls and you’re in food heaven! This place has the “like family” feel, nothing like those other commercial Italian restaurants ? and prices are on point too. Our bill was less than $60 and worth every penny!“

“I just went here. I got one of those small 8 inch pizzas with 1 topping, I got sausage. It came out fresh and hot in maybe 5-10 minutes. I didn't feel like I was waiting long at all. This pizza made my day, please eat here atleast once.“

“Cute and simple atmosphere. Service in the restaurant is good and the service in the bar area has improved a lot in the last year. I do think there can be better training still - regardless, everyone is friendly and happy to help! Personal favorite is the margherita pizza - I recommend asking for extra basil if you're a fan. available seating outside when it's nice out and it's always been very clean inside. Stop by for a pizza and a beer!“

“Cajun pasta ? with shrimp chicken and sausage was Awesome ? love the atmosphere. First time visiting this restaurant and was with a group of 6 for lunch ? parking around back.Short stroll up along the street to the front door at the intersection of Cherokee Blvd and Manning Street“

“We are from out of State. Found Jet’s Pizza on Instagram and the reviews did not disappoint. The best pizza. Staff was so nice and friendly, recommending lunch special they had going on. The manager came out and checked on us. Asking what did we think… LOVED IT.“

“Sort of a difficult place to rate for me. Lol If I give give stars then that suggest it's one of the best things I've experienced. So I gotta leave some room for done favorites! That being said though, I had zero problems here. The marinara had a bit of a sweet taste and was really good. Waitress was sweet and did just fine. Food was good. Place was clean. It was quick and very reasonably priced. I'll have no problem goingback“
