14 Best Italian Restaurants near Jonesborough

“We've been wanting to try this place and decided to stop for lunch, my husband ordered enough to take leftovers for dinner, but it was so good he ate it all. He had the chicken parm, lasagna, and Alfredo instead of spaghetti trio. I had a beef gyro and fries, and it was great“

“I ordered pizza for the first time from there and it was amazing!! I can’t believe I waited this long to try this place out. The absolute best pizza in the area. Clearly very clean ingredients and the crust is phenomenal. Beyond 5 stars!!“

“Went with my daughter and her friend for lunch on Friday and had the best service! Our server had a large table of ladies he was also waiting on and did it all flawlessly. We all had the Stramboli along with the cheese bread. Soooooo delicious!! We will be back!“

“A perfect place to get any Italian dish. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Pricing was shockingly cheap given how nice the restaurant is and how delicious the food was. Tiramisu is to die for. Would definitely recommend eating here.“

“Tonight we enjoyed our anniversary dinner at Carrabba's. And even though our teens love it there, we enjoyed a lovely solo meal. The service was kind and wonderful, and the food was delicious, as always. Thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“We recently moved from New Jersey to Eastern Tennessee. And the only thing we really miss is the pizza. We got to TN and had some HORRIBLE pizza that people here thought was good, and all hope was lost. Until... we were in Johnson City for the day today. We were looking up every pizza place in desparation of finding something that looked half decent. So we stumbled upon the Crazy Tomato joint. We were skeptical for obvious reasons. But...WOW. I am not exaggerating at all when I say their pizza was better than some of the places back in NJ. I couldn't even wrap my brain around it, as my wife and I had already accepted that we'll never have really good pizza again. But it was actually REALLY good. The Hawaiian was delicious. The sausage was really good and was also a very generous amount. It was also a plus that the owner greeted us as soon as we walked in, and he was very nice and welcoming. I didn't catch her name, but the waitress was very pleasant as well. The outside doesn't scream EAT HERE, but I promise you that you won't regret trying their pizza. Looks like we found our spot. We are about 45 minutes away from this place, but it is well worth the drive!“

“We have been coming here for almost 16 years and Love it! However, on our visit today, the salad was very cheap and different from how it used to be. We are not ones to complain, but it was wilted and bag salad, not the fresh salad we have been used to. Pizza was awesome as usual, but can’t recommend the salad and won’t be ordering it again unless they go back to the fresh! The ranch was way to thick too. Just helping others out when ordering on your next visit! ❤️“

“This place has some of the best pizza ever!! Their salads are the best!! With their homemade ranch dressing!! Only one thing I wish was better and it's how they cut their pizza, it's never cut all the way through, always have to recut it or tear it apart!!“

“Excellent food. I had the grilled chicken salad, my friend had pizza and my other friend had the chicken marsala. Everything was wonderful. Our waitress, Debbie was most helpful in offering dressing choices, pizza toppings and sides. She even brought us a slice of cheesecake after finding out it qas a birthday celebration. Would definitely recommend and will be returning ?“

“I am always reluctant to eat at chain restaurants due to not knowing how long the food has been frozen and not having the fresh taste.The Johnson City TN location exceeded my expectations. Everything tasted amazing! As a former server I kind of have high standards. Our server was phenomenal. We did not need to ask for anything. She was intuitive and brought refills, extra bread sticks and boxes.“

“today we had 3 places picked out we normally go to in the area. parking and other issues prevented us from eating at those facilities. so we ended up stephens for the first time ever and we are so glad we did. we got the taven pizza it is equivalent to a supreme. it was amazing!!! the toppings were fresh, there was a abundance of toppings and i've never seen that much cheese on a pizza and still have a flaky crunchy crust. FANTASTIC is an understatement. we can't wait to go back.“

“We had lunch at this location today. The food is delicious but I have 2 comments. The penne with white clam sauce is more like Alfredo with clams in it. Delicious but not authentic. White clam sauce should just have olive oil, garlic, clams and clam juice. I cannot recommend the eggplant parmigiana at all. It was paper thin eggplant slices with a thick oily breadcrumb layer smothered in marinara and mozzarella cheese not parmesan. It was not appealing and I couldn’t eat it. But the garlic knots were the best I’ve ever had. Freshly baked and swimming in a very nice garlic butter. The salads were fresh and the calamari was perfect. So I recommend the place just not it’s authenticity and definitely not the eggplant dish!“

“Listen, this is like my favorite place to eat but I was SEVERELY disappointed in my order today. Did the size of the baked spaghetti change permanently or did I just get screwed over today? It's the same price but maybe 1/2 to 3/4 the size it normally is. My dad also drove through today and got the same small size of baked spaghetti. If you're going to shrink the size of the order, please shrink the price too.“

“The staff is always friendly. And I never have an issue adding or subtracting anything from my meal. I love the chicken bowtie pasta (without the chicken), but I always replace the chicken (because it's flat, with no taste, and just overall not my favorite) with shrimp and blue crab/lobster ravioli. I also add garlic to my dish. That is the absolute best combo!! It's by far my favorite dish ever. I will say that I wish the bread that is served with it wasn't Fench bread, but instead garlic bread. It tastes fine as it's buttery, but it would be nice to have something better. Prices are great as well. My husband loves the Greek spaghetti with salmon. It really is so very good. Takeout or dine-in, the food is always piping hot.*Updated review. I knocked off one star because the girl that answered the phone to take my takeout order, was unfriendly, pushy, and didn't even let me finish ordering more food! Also, when I order my pasta and subtract the chicken, I'm always given shrimp in its place, but this time I didn't get anything! Unhappy!“
