Giardino Pizzeria & Restaurant

*TRUCKERS BEWARE*
If you want to work all day and have a pleasant meal at the end of your shift, this isn't the restaurant for you. Walked in solo and was the only table at 5:30pm (speaks a lot towards the probable quality of the food, locals avoiding this place at diner time that is) and sat unhelped and waited, and waited. Finally, a small family of four walks in and sits. Waitress finally decides to leave the back and promptly helps them while ignoring me, sitting alone with no drink or anything.
This is the kind of service you'll receive here. I wear the orange shirt and look the part of a driver. Definitely don't make the walk over and support a business that doesn't like you.

Got the steak alfredo with some garlic. Was a very tasty pizza. Would recommend to any trucker parked for the night, it's worth the walk across the street.

The Fettuccine Alfredo was delicious! My daughter gobbled it down and didn't stop until she was full. The pasta was flavorful. The chicken seemed to be marinated and the broccoli was a nice touch. The staff were so accommodating when I asked about what had sugar. They were very kind!

This place is a gem. Location and atmosphere leave something to be desired. Talk about the best food in a hole in the wall Place This Is It. Service was excellent. Our servers were so nice and prompt. Some of the best Italian food I have ever had. It's not the American knockoff version. Will stop again when I'm passing through next time.

We have been eating here for years and last night had one of the best meals we’ve ever had! The food was so fresh and the special requests were followed to a tee! There was a new girl behind the counter and if she’s the one that prepared this food then she should get a raise ! Thanks Giardino’s!

Upon 1st, walking in the place was completely empty. (RED FLAG) it smelled old as if something died centuries ago. The pizza was not GOOD AT ALL. TOOK 1 BITE AND discarded the rest. The server was polite.

❤️AT FIRST SIGHT might not happen, but eat here & you can experience ❤️ AT FIRST BITE!I discovered this delicious pizzeria over 6 years ago & I fell head over heels for the whole thing. I say it like that because It's not just the delicious food, the family friendly environment, or the affordable prices that are great, but also the awesome staff. All of these things together make GIARDINO my favorite place to eat.?

Small and good atmosphere, nicely decorated with several tvs, good menu selection, and nice appetizers. We had steak and cheese with the works, fried green tomatoes, fried mushrooms and onion rings. Our food was delivered very quickly, and was so good! We will be traveling back and forth between Mountain City and Chilhowie quite often in the next few months, and we will definitely be stopping back by! Good value for our money, we had enough left over for a take out box, so I have lunch for work tomorrow . Thanks so much for a delicious meal!
