7 Best Italian Restaurants near Oak Ridge

“We're from out-of-state but travel through Oak Ridge area often. Tucked away Mom and Pop place with the food and atmosphere to match. Family-friendly with big portions and truly quality dishes. Start with the Lyla Bites and move on to one of their great entrees. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“First time visiting, Think price of Buffet was a bit high, Better Price would be $9.99 for All you can eat. Cici's is also Very Good but pricing is Better....Nice to have a Pizza Buffet here in Oak Ridge, Food Very Good, but a better price would be Nice....?????“

“The food in this particular establishment was better tasting than in most Lil Caesars. There was an attention to detail, the food was hot, and all of the order I placed was available for immediate transfer. No having to wait and come back. As soon as the cashier took the money, she set out to bag up my order. My total in store time was less than 7 minutes. The store was clean and well stocked and the customer service was great. Will definitely visit again.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and menu! First time visiting - excellent salad and building our own pizzas. Will return!“

“Absolutely love coming here, I'm here about once a week. Decided to leave a review today. Hayden,? I think that's how you pronounce his name was my server. He was awesome he rocked very knowledgeable about the menu. Would definitely ask for him again. Now that I said that I think a host needs to be friendly to everyone if it's your first time are like me somebody that's there on a regular basis. When I was asking her a question before I was seated she act like somebody stole her puppy or peed in her cheerios. I understand everybody's got problems but if you're that sad are miserable maybe you need to work in the back. Until whatever is going on in your life passes. Like I said I've been coming here for a while now once a week sometimes twice a week. Today was the first day I just wanted to turn around and leave. Felt very unwelcome until Hayden my server came over.“
