18 Best Italian Restaurants near Pigeon Forge

“Had dinner while on vacation. Had the Gorgonzola penne chicken. It was so good! My husband had the Jonny’s special (lasagna and Chicken parm) it was great. Everyone was so nice.“

“Y'all . . . Y'ALL! There are many places that claim to have NY style pizza, but THIS PLACE is L.E.G.I.T! In May, my wife and I ate at Famous Original Ray's Pizza and this place had slices that were EQUAL to them! Now, don't come after me NYC (I said equal), they really are that good. So, if you're in the middle of the Smokey Mountains and looking for a taste of NYC, stop in! Oh, make sure to get extra napkins, because you'll need them 🤣“

“Ordered carryout and waited to receive food for very short time. I wish the wings were tossed in the sauce as opposed to on the side. Pizza slices were large and tasted great, but not overly enthused with pricing. Would try other pies again but not recommended for kids that have easier to please palates.“

“Ristorante DellaSantina not only has the best Italian food I have ever had, but over the years it feels like they have all become family too. We are very grateful to have a place where we know we are always going to get delicious, healthy, fulfilling food as well as a truly open and welcoming visit with our DellaSantina family! You must give this place a visit!“

“Went there last night. Food was excellent! Service was excellent ( Thank You Molly) Highly recommend.“

“We had a great dinner, very friendly staff, and great food!“

“We had a great dinner, very friendly staff, and great food!“

“Food was delicious and service was friendly. Pizza crust was very light and tender and the Italian cream cake was a perfect way to complete your meal. I would highly recommend you try it!!“

“The food was great, however, I felt very rushed by the server when the restaurant was at 10% capacity. The food was prepared pretty quickly. I was also not told that I had to pay at the counter so I was waiting at my table to hand over my credit card. The restaurant’s food area is strong but I would put more effort is adequate training of the staff. 4 stars because I mostly care about the food!“

“They need to allow reservations for busy weekends and allow ample group seating.
The policy for large groups is ridiculous when there is no where to sit and wait. Food was great service was awesome. Unfortunately we were a large group stuffed into a booth and a chair on the end with no room to move so that was the worst part about our first time here.“

“We got catering for our DECA event today at school and it was wonderful! The food was excellent and so was the service! Highly recommend!“

“Advice to make business more successful, make the buffet on weekends not during week. Week is slow and weekends are busy especially when they have rod runs and jeep invasion there's tons of people. I see the most on weekends and just makes more sense and have it available in the afternoon and in the evening. That would become a best seller! Especially since you're open late, people would love it! You would put cicis out of business quick and you'd need to expand your buffet to make it bigger for bigger variety to keep up with the demand. Its all about timing. Maybe make a sign advertising the buffet with the price to put out near the sidewalk too so people see and know about it.“

“This place was absolutely amazing!!! Best pizza we have ever had! service was excellent as well! the mozzarella sticks were great as well! We will absolutely be back soon!“

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again“

“fantastic meal. I don't say this ever, but I don't think I could have made the steak any better myself. 5 stars.“

“I tried the cheese pizza at New York Pizza and Pasta in Gatlinburg. The pizza tasted really good the base was thin and soft, and the flavors were on point. The only downside was the wait, which was about 20 minutes. Overall, a tasty pizza worth trying.“

“Not very friendly and way to busy surfing. Could of been wiping down tables or bussing tables.No please or thank you either. Not busy with only 4 people eating in. But sandwiches are good.“

“Sammie was an amazing waitress! She was very sweet and accommodating at a time when the restaurant was filled to capacity. Delicious food and better service!“
