9 Best Italian Restaurants near Lenoir City

“We stoppped in for lunch yesterday (Friday). The atmosphere was attractive and charming. We were waited on by Troy who is an amazing individual and a delight to converse with. I had the seafood ravioli, which was just enough for lunch and soooo delicious. The man had the chicken parmesian and he raved about it. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. We will definitely return!“

“We're visiting Knoxville and were looking for a nice Italian meal. This place didn't disappoint. We were greeted by friendly staff and got a few suggestions. We started with cheesy bread, perfection! The dough was good with a nice chewiness, lots of cheese and garlic. I had a ham calozone and it was cooked perfectly, that great dough, real ricotta cheese and seasoning, a nice robust marina on the side. My husband had the tortellini with meat sauce and garlic bread. The pasta was the perfect. We both had the recommended tiramasu, this is the star of the show. I have never tasted such wonderful food. We each had a fountain drink and all together was only $50. Service was phenomenal. I'm sad to go home because I know I have nothing close to the quality of this place. Absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. We'll be heading there again tomorrow for lunch so we can have it one more time before leaving Knoxville.“

“I am truly impressed by the level of service we received today.

The young gentleman who attended us, slim, wears glasses, and looked almost like a teenager (unfortunately I did not catch his name), provided one of the most outstanding customer service experiences I have had in a very long time.

His knowledge of the menu was exceptional. He was able to describe items in remarkable detail, almost entirely from memory, and his recommendations were spot on. Beyond that, his communication skills, professionalism, and willingness to help were simply on another level.

It is rare to find someone so dedicated to creating a great experience for guests. He made us feel welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for throughout our visit.

Blessings to him, and thank you for serving us with such excellence. Your attention, attitude, and commitment to customer service did not go unnoticed. Keep up the amazing work!“

“With chain pizza restaurants I believe either you like their 'style' of pizza or you don't. In the past I've learned I don't like Marco's style as much as other chains but I do want to give them kudos today.

We were going to a friend's and they wanted to cater in Marco's from this location so we offered to pick it up on the way.

They were quick, they were friendly, it was super hot 🔥 and for as many item as we picked up reasonably priced.

If you live near this location and like it Marco's style I would recommend you order.“
