12 Best Italian Restaurants in Johnson City

“I haven't been to Carrabba's in a while so had lunch there today. I had the 11.99 trio small plate choosing 1 entree, a salad, and type of soup plus yummy crusty bread with a dipping sauce that they make fresh every day. I can't say enough about the food. Everything was delicious! And generous portions. I couldn't finish it all so the waittress insisted so nicely that she prepare the leftovers for me to take home. I will definitely be go back there again. Great experience!“

“Love the food here and the old time not fancy Italian restaurant atmosphere. My fav restaurant in Johnson City area.“

“I just picked up a veggie pizza which I have had before but not recently. The pizza was loaded with veggies and was fresh and so tasty! The lemon pie is pretty good too. Thanks for a very satisfying supper. I will definitely be back. I did not have to wait long at all.“

“very good place to dine .“

“We just had dinner for the first time at The Black Olive in Kingsport and it was amazing! We got a few appetizers, I highly recommend the Manicotti, all the food was great! Everyone’s food was fresh and tasted awesome. Huge shout out to our waitress, Bianca, she went out of her way to make our experience great, she was an exceptional waitress!!“

“Ashley is fantastic!!! Very efficient, very nice and respectful, thankful and on top of EVERYTHING!“

“The Garlic Cheese Knots are NOT to be missed! They are the BEST!“

“I will first say it was the most we’ve ever spent on pizza. They are small for the price. That being said, it was the best pizza we’ve had in a long time. We had 3 adult size people, we got 3 pizzas and garlic bread. The teenager and husband ate an entire pizza each on their own. Very delicious, will definitely be back. The teenager ate the most of the garlic bread. Hardly any leftovers. Everyone needs to try this place at least once. Delicious“

“Food is always great, son loves the calzone. Always quick service.“

“My true review is a 3.5 out of 5. Let's get down to it.... I get offended by people claiming NY style when it is no where near NY style. First of all you can't claim NY and be cheap on your toppings, sauce included. At $2.50 a topping | should be having toppings in every bite and this fell short. I wanted to like them because the crust what the right flavor and crispness, and the sauce when you had it on your bite was perfection. But this was like being a teenager getting teased by your bf or gf endlessly waiting for something to happen but never does. And you're left behind wanting more but with overwhelming disappointment at the same time. I know it sounds harsh but just claim it as what it is. Take the NY style off the door unless you want to be more consistent, add extra sauce to your pizza, and quit being cheap on the toppings and make that pie greasy with goodness and you'll have something.“

“We went last night and Charlie was very nice to us and very accommading. She was running th dining room herself and hustling like crazy. I hated to see her handling all that business and all those customers herself. The cooks did deliver food for her at intervals. Charlie is an assett to take care of!“

“Stopped in for a quick lunch on Friday 07MAR25 with my kiddo and was impressed with the service and also the food. We ordered 2 lunch specials (2 slices, a drink, and chips) for just about $20. We live in Greeneville so the options we have are severely limited for fresh pizza. Have lived here since ‘09 and can say Stephen’s is definitely one of the best we’ve had to date!! Will be back anytime I have work in the area for sure!!“
