Italian Restaurants near Powell

“Love this place! It's got a wide variety of food and a wonderful delivery driver.“

“Thank you for taking care of so many lunches and dinners for our daughter while she lived across the street!“

“We traveled from Cookeville 7/2/2025 to try Altruda's. I did not catch our waiter's name but he had glasses and reddish hair. He was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is cozy but also gives speak easy/old world style vibes. We requested strawberry daiquiris but they said they were out of strawberries. The salad was the absolute best. The rolls were very good, but they were drowning in butter. Now the entrees were just ok. We were kinda disappointed. The cannelloni had too much cheese. It was kinda like a cheese soup with some pasta. The manicotti was ok, it was also drowning in sauce. We also ordered cannoli and tiramisu. They were both really good. The price for 3 entrees, a sweet tea, a sprite, 2 desserts, plus a tip was under $100. The prices are reasonable. Overall we had a good experience and we had food left over for lunch today. The experience was nice and we will give Altruda's another try when we have the chance.“

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

“I highly recommend Osteria Stella for anybody seeking an authentic Italian meal experience plus a romantic, dark atmosphere. The environment, service, food and drinks are all amazing. I cannot brag on the food quality and staff enough, it was truly a fantastic experience. We loved everything we were served and our server Matt was a rockstar. I loved getting to try their imported meats for an appetizer, and the house made gnocchi with pesto as my entree. Thank you guys so much for the memories. Check out Osteria Stella when you can!“

“We just served our Holston Middle school staff Fazoli’s for their staff lunch and they did an amazing job! Food and service was excellent, this is definitely a go-to in the future for other lunches. Thank you!!“

“Everything we’ve ever ordered is flavorful and delicious: Filet, Sirloin, Chicken Bryan, Chicken Pollo Maria, Salmon, any of the pasta dishes. Then choose the $10 Take Home, get an entree to go for only $10–you’ll thank yourself when you’re enjoying more scrumptious food another day.“

“I am a regular for the soup and salad its my favorite but we also got the steak & shrimp carbonara and a few other things. The food is always hot, the salad & breadsticks is always plentyful. Our server Lauren was nice and very attentive.“

“I would recommend Gondolier to everyone. We had another restaurant who refused to allow us to have our baby shower. I called Gondolier 2 days prior to our planned date and they were extremely accomodating. The serving staff was so so helpful, patient and kind. The food was wonderful. We didn't realize until we got up to leave that we had stayed 30 minutes past their closing time, but they patiently waited until we departed without saying anything about us needing to leave. We had a wonderful time and will certainly go again and again. Thank you so much!“

“The food at this restaurant is delicious and the staff is great!“

“While visiting the area we stumbled across this wonderful restaurant. The service was great, the food was sublime and the atmosphere, relaxed. For an Englishman in America it was gratifying to find an Italian restaurant that actually knew what it is to be an Italian restaurant. No fakery at this place. Truly authentic with fresh made pasta, delicious herbs, and the PEI mussels were the best I have had stateside. 100% recommend to all who meander their way to this city!“

“Excellent food, every time. Service has always been great. This is one of our favorites in Knoxville.“

“staff was friendly and helpful made some great suggestions for someone who has never been there. absolute banger, fresh ingredients, modern take on authentic Italian Pizza, margaritas are class with plenty of modern takes on the menu“

“Amazing local restaurant, a must try, you’ll love it! The ground steak parmigiana is AMAZING! So is the spaghetti and any pasta, but the lunch sandwiches are a real gem as well.“

“My family and I always love coming here! The food is yummy and the service is always great!“

“Great little Italian restaurant. The food was amazing. The ambiance is set for an intimate dinner with your favorite person or your entire family. I highly recommend.“

“Authentic Italian food with a big menu. The spaghetti and meatballs was so good I visited two nights in a row getting the spaghetti and meatballs! Hard to find a good Italian restaurant but this is it. Large dining room. No wait. Great service. Highly recommend.“

“Best food and wonderful friendly service. Thank you Oscars for being simply awesome.“

“Excellent experience and food was on point!“

“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.“

“We're visiting from Georgia for youth soccer vs. Knoxville. Rosati's is right next to our hotel. I'm admittedly a PIZZA SNOB and won't eat mass-produced big chain pizza... even if it's offered for free. Life is too short to eat bad pizza. I was pleasantly surprised by Rosati's!!! I ordered a 12" Thin Crust with sausage and mushroom. It was DELICIOUS. The Crust was slightly charred and crunchy. It had ample quality cheese, and the sauce was unique, not your basic plain red. It was actually seasoned well. I could taste basil and oregano. The tasty sausage was big chunk, which I prefer over crumbled. The owner checked on my take out order a couple of times and was very friendly. There are several tables for dine in. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. I highly recommend this pizzeria ☆☆☆☆☆“

“the food is always great and the service too.“

“Amazing service, food, and prices! We love this place. We’ll be back!“

“My friend and I went there today.A gentleman on his break eas very kind answering my 2 questions. We ended up getting the cheeseburgers deluxe with added fried onions. They were really good. My son and his wife takes me there sometimes to get pizza and ounion rings. They are the best. You will not be disappointed at this place ever.“

“Fantastic place! Absolutely the best bartenders and drinks in Knoxville! The small food menu is absolutely stellar! Can’t wait till my next trip!“

“This is the best NY style pizza in Knoxville and the best Grandma's style pizza in Knoxville. Service is usually always good, sometimes a little slow but nothing to really complain about. The pasta dishes are pretty good but we almost always order pizza and some salad. Parking can be a little difficult because there is only 1 handicap spot and we have someone who uses a walker.“

“Love the pizza and the stuff is so friendly an nice clean place but I live in Seymour so I got to drive a good distance to get the best pizza I wish they could open a Jet's Pizza in Seymour TN they would have my service every day for sure“

“I ordered GF Alfredo dish and it tasted really good. Cheese pizza looked great as well !Exception delivery service as it was 45 min ETA amd the drive arrived in about 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend. I love the fact they have GF options!! I'll try thr pizza next time.“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! The best marina I've ever had. Probably the best crust too. It's even better if you can eat fresh out of the oven it's even better! They are open till 3am or 4am.“
