7 Best Italian Restaurants in Cookeville

“Ny daughter and I were craving Italian. We stumbled on this place. When you pull up, it doesn’t even look like a restaurant. It’s in an old Victorian house. Walking up we are very disappointed to read that it was reservations only. As we were walking away, the hostess opened the door and invited us in and made room for us to eat. It was one of the best meals and service we have ever had!“

“Food was good, took about 50 minutes for a pizza to make it out. Servers were friendly, but young and seemed pretty inexperienced. We had a large group, and they seemed overwhelmed with just the numbers. Probably a better experience with a smaller party. Worth trying if you like pizza.“

“My wife and I came in on New Years Eve and had the absolute best service ever! Heather was by far the best waitress we have ever had at any restaurant we've been to! It wasn't just us either, all her tables it felt she went above and beyond for! Not to mention our food was great as well!“

“Was super yummy and reasonably priced. Need one in California!!“

“I am from NY originally and honestly I have a high bar for pizza that I will call good. Since living in the South I feel like I am on an endless search for pizza that reminds me of what I can get at home. Big Tony's checks all the boxes. The pizza was exactly what I like for crust, sauce and toppings. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the space was comfortable enough to sit and chat with a friend I haven't seen in years until it was closing time. We will be back, even though it's an hour drive from where I live in Lebanon.“

“Harper and Savannah were amazing! First time dining here, but had heard wonderful things from friends and they were right. Will definitely be going back!“

“The two boys working are very sweet and delightful and respectful!! This was my second time trying them an by far the best pizza I’ve had in a long time !!!! N there Stromboli was amazing and so is there salad !! No pics we just devoured it lol“
