16 Best Italian Restaurants near Farragut

“Just awesome pizza. I worked down the road, the last 4 days and ate the pepperoni mini pizza, 3 out of the 4 days. Just amazing. Great service, too. I rated the atmosphere a 3, because it is in a gas station, but they do have a nice set-up if you do decide to eat “

“We stumbled upon Forno grill a few years ago after moving out to Knoxville and boy were we happy! As former NYer’s we tend to seek out the most similar pizza to match back home and this certainly is it. The restaurant is always immaculate and the staff are all super friendly and helpful. Every year for my children’s birthdays we provide pizzas for their class party and we use Forno grill ofcourse. They have always taken good care of me each time I’ve ordered. We are very happy to have such an amazing business close to us. Thank you for always providing top notch service and the most delicious pizzas around :)“

“This is a great little place! We came in because of the puns and stayed for the food. The customer service was great and the girl who helped us was so polite and kind while our kids entertained her. We got the deep fried ravioli, a pizza for the kids, the chicky parm and the mind grinder. We liked everything we got! We haven’t been to the food truck but if we see it we’ll definitely stop.“

“Visiting from San Diego and blown away by the quality of their pizza and garlic knots. You can taste the difference in their quality of cheese and their marinara sauce is noticeably superior. I almost never dip my bread in marinara but the I couldn’t get enough of this savory sauce.“

“I had a wonderful dinner at Altruda’s last night. Our server, Mia was fantastic. She was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to ensure my boyfriend and I had a great experience. I look forward to trying a new dish the next time I’m there.“

“Came in for dinner last night, service was good and food was delicious. Thought it was a bit odd when we walked in and there was a younger hostess eating breadsticks behind the small counter and looking up at us. I saw her seating people after I went to the restroom. Great overall experience though“

“Only sad face, and loss of a star was that they used to bring out more bread sticks and check on their guests. That didn't happen. To busy chatting, I guess? I mean, it was seriously yummy, and filling. And at the counter they are super great.They bring your meal out, on real plates. You get real cutlery. They bus the tables. It's very clean. But once they bring your meal, you never see them again. So only 4 stars.This was 6.99. so very worth it.“

“In my opinion, Lenoir City Gondolier is the BEST. They are our go to restaurant when we are in Lenoir City (we live on Sweetwater). I thought Sweetwater Gondolier was the worst and then we went to Athens. Lenoir City Gondolier has a wide variety of food options and serves large portions along with plenty of bread sticks (which are fresh)“

“Amazing! Fresh, tasty and huge value for the money! The marinara sauce is just like grandma made. Portion size of the calzones and stromboli were huge. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Definitely did not expect to find Italian food this good in a hole-in-the-wall location. Will certainly be returning here!“

“I’ve never been disappointed with any of their food. Pizza is amazing and so is everything else. I would recommend their pepperoni pizza and some buffalo wings with fries. Also their customer service is top notch. I’d definitely recommend going here for lunch/dinner“

“So tasty Italian style!! The bread and oil before dinner...yum. The salad, me, and the Italian Chicken soup...so good! I had the chicken piccatta.... excellent ?. My guest had the Italian Trio...so much good food. Our bartender was most excellent with some great suggestions. Such a vast menu, great servers and tasty food... it's worth a visit!!!“

“Great food and a great atmosphere with perfect lighting. The music was great and at a perfect level. Acoustics were great. You can hear each other talk and it is not loud I. There. To me this is the quintessential “old Knoxville” great restaurant. We are lucky to have it.“

“worst experience I've had in my entire life especially in a "professional environment". was degraded, talked down to, yelled out, and just flat out treated like crap!! I will tell everyone I know, make posts everywhere, and never recommend this place in my life. I will talk against you all and do everything in my power to have this terrible place removed from this city and cannot wait until the next city council meeting so i can inform everyone of this disrespectful and disgusting mannered place and the employees! I cannot believe Marcos pizza allows their employees to talk to and disrespect people as they have shown today! completely disgusting and just a disgrace to this city and all it stands for!“

“This Jets is always awesome! The jet 10 is one of the best pizzas all around at the best price! Thank you to the owners including their Pizza Perfect Pizza magic making amazing son & crew! everyone in our family absolutely loves the ranch. From this location it has never came to us any other way than perfect and it's always fresh! Thank you for that as well.Vegetarian options: They have fresh salads anything that that is partial vegan like vegetable pizzas and maybe sandwiches!Parking: This location is in a strip mall that is accessible and easy to maneuver with a traffic light on a busy busy main road it also makes it easier that there is slower businesses closer to the busy businesses it seems to be strategically placed in such a Manor can you wear the traffic flows naturally at the most busy times.“

“I just happened to see the restaurant when I passed through the area, and I am glad I went back and stopped. Short wait time, a great tasting pizza for a reasonable price, and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be back when I am in the area.“

“Always good food, however I was surprised at the cost. I had only one bowl of soup and usually adjustments are made since the printed cost is for unlimited refills which due to gastrointestinal surgery I can't eat more than one. So for one delicious watermelon sangria, one bread stick and one bowl of soup, including tip I paid $22. Sadly I don't think I will be back.“
