Have always had great service food has always been good beer always cold desserts are always delicious!

Amazing food and service. I've been here three times - the Greek salad - the home made pizza - both UNBELIEVABLE!! Today I came in late for lunch - Cyndi was about to eat lunch but she immediately set her meal aside and helped me - joyfully and checked on me a few times too. Awesome Job Cyndi- Thank you. Best meal to date: the Gondolier Salad!!! read more

Gondolier Restaurant - delicious - Italian Near Me - Clinton, Tennessee

This is the first time that My Wife and I have been to this particular location and this one was by far our favorite. Hot Wings and a Gondolier Special were what we had and we were extremely satisfied. Our server Regina offered friendly and personable service, poured a fine mug of beer, and even shared a smile while eating her first anchovie. I hope the Gondolier recognizes her efforts because good service is just as important as good food. read more

Poor Customer Service. They would not honor a coupon I had from school fundraiser. They stated that dessert was not food. It said nothing about that on coupon very disappointing read more

My wife had the Chicken Picatta and I had Chicken Marsala. We were disappointed to discover that canned mushrooms were used in the sauces. Also, sauces were thick and not very flavorful. While portions and service were good, we were a little disappointed. If we come back, we may try one of the salads or pizzas. read more

Service is amazing all the food came out so fast and piping hot. Im am so pleased with my experience here! cant recommend enough.

Great food, so many different choices and such a friendly waiter! Definitely will be back !!

On our way from Gatlinburg to Louisville, I was craving for pizza. I though that I would have to settle for a pizza chain. To my surprise I found this restaurant. The pizza is supper good. Plenty of other Italian choices. read more

Gondolier Restaurant - Italian Near Me - Clinton, Tennessee

Stopped by with my Mother on a road trip heading North on 75. We were hungry, with dining options near the freeway somewhat limited. Food tasted - as a previous reviewer noted - like warmed up frozen grocery food. And my Mother's Salad had a plastic cap from what probably was the salad dressing container in it. Waiter didn't offer any discount upon this discovery, just to replace the salad which had pretty much killed our appetite (we declined.) In general, the service was slow, even though the place was not near capacity, with our waiter more interested in playing with the TV on the wall than serving his customers. Not sure what all the other reviewers rating this place 4-5 stars were smoking. On a good day, I would give this place 2-3 stars. Add slow service coupled with a plastic cap in the salad, and you get 1 star. read more

Probably my favorite place in town to go. Food is good and the staff is usually pretty good, although they have a couple of waiters that need to find a new occupation. Always clean inside. The pizza and the steak quesadilla are excellent. They have a great selection of desert, though it's kind of pricey read more

Great place to eat. Warm and inviting. Our server, Justin, was amazing.

Great service and the food was great. The waitress delightful and our kid was a handful. I'd go there again.

In town for the weekend and tried this restaurant because it was close to our hotel. It was on a Friday at about 5 pm. We were seated quickly. We desided to eat out on the patio area. Our server was polite and knowledgeable. We had a large pizza and it was pretty good. Better than eat at one of those national chain pizza joints. If I ever have to stay in the area again I will definitely go back. read more

Food was bland and not fresh!! We ordered a salad, a pizza and sphagetti. None of the items tasted fresh!

Excellent service every time! Pizza is always good and we love the zucchini sticks in the appetizer menu!!!

Traveling through the area on the way home, we were looking for a good meal for ourselves and our grandkids. This place did not disappoint. Great pizza, great spaghetti, and our server Bruce was VERY good at his job! I would highly suggest this location for anyone passing through!! read more

I moved to the Clinton, TN area a few months ago, and, as is my custom, seeking out quality Italian-inspired/styled food is one of my first orders of business. The local Gondolier has a number of things going for it - for starters, the best white ricotta pizza I've ever had. About three times a month I've visited the restaurant, enjoying their individual pizza & side salad lunch deal for $6.99. All of the wait staff has been friendly, polite, and welcoming (and quick to remedy the situation in the rare event of an error in my order.) They also have free wi-fi (a big plus in my book - it's surprising how many "sit-down" restaurants STILL don't offer this service), comfortable booths, and a free bowl of bread and sauce (tasty tip - add a generous amount of the available Parmesan cheese to the marinara bread dipping sauce) As a Yankee, I will also admit I am fond of the fact that some of the servers will call a customer "honey" or "sweetie" sometimes - it's a form of southern charm that I'd all but forgotten after an extended stay in the "North". I'm glad to be back in Tennessee, all things considered. :) read more

The pizza and the meatball subs are phenomenal! (So are the desserts!!) They are always kind and polite too! Great place!

Since this restaurant moved in, my husband and I have become regulars for the last 8 years. We are friends with the owner's now and with many servers. Everything on the menu is wonderful. From the free bread and marinara sauce to their signature spaghetti and meatball or lasagna Italian dishes. The burgers and fries are better than most restaurants. And the quantity you get for their reasonable prices keeps us coming back. Did I mention they have pitchers of beer? Not many restaurants sell these anymore. If you want the best service ask for Regina or Breezy (Clinton location). You won't regret it. Manda & Ozz read more

I found Gondolier to be a great restaurant. It's clean and new looking with a Greco-Roman decor that offers a formal appeal to a casual restaurant. They offer complementary bread sticks that are soft, warm, and ever-so slightly seasoned; they were quite good. I ordered the large house special (supreme) pizza that was 14 inches an big enough to feed a family of 4. The pizza was average not spectacular, but not bad either. The worst thing I could say about the food was that the pizza oven might be cooking at the wrong temperature as the crust wasn't cooked to perfection. The ingredients were ultra fresh though; it was probably the best tasting sausage I've had on a pizza yet. Oh, and the offer domestic draft beer by the pitcher. They also have a very extensive menu in addition to your classic Italian cuisine. Well done Gondolier! Keep up the good work. read more

This was a good Italian restaurant. I had the baked ravioli and it was good. Good portion and good taste. I enjoyed the bread and marinara sauce pre-meal! I would recommend it!! read more

Although the food here is very good. The service leaves something to be desired. Inefficient kitchen And not enough communication between the service help. Needs better management. read more

I can't believe we waited so long to come here! The restaurant was clean, looked pretty & nice. The waitress did a wonderful job. She was friendly, attentive & got exactly what we needed. And the food!!! The bread and sauce they brought to the table was a crowd pleaser for all 4 of us! My husband ordered lasagna with Parmesan chicken and he really really enjoyed it. Me & the kids got a pizza with pepperoni, beef, ham & green peppers and it was so good. I had asked for garlic to put on the pizza cuz I usually need it but this pizza needed nothing. It was just right! We were too full to try desserts but they looked sooooo good. We will definitely go back. read more

Okay - I'm sad that Alan beat me to yelping this place first. Go out of the country for 21 months and you don't stand a chance anymore. I generally hate the Gondolier - and when I say hate I really mean despise. My wife kept telling me this one was different and since it was near the house we stopped by to use a gift card we received for Christmas. MAN OH MAN was I surprised. We've been back about once a week since then. The gyros are excellent - not the dried out stuff other Gondoliers serve. Tzatiziki - great. Spaghetti, lasagna, and pizza - superb. I had a cobb salad with chicken last time and it was out of this world. Most of the wait staff were attentive and courteous. Deserts are great too - but like Alan said - a little pricey for me. read more

Gondolier tastes like the grocery store frozen food section brought to life. However, because I haven't found anything better around town, I keep going back. read more

Very pleasant. Large servings. Split a Calzone and small salad. Great breadsticks with meal.

On the road, with a cold, just wanted a bowl of soup. Not that easy to find. But soup du jour was a homemade chicken rice and just what the doc ordered read more

2nd visit, poor service both trips, food decent first visit, very bland 2nd visit. Will not return.

Longest wait times for your food. If you have an hour lunch break, expect to get your food at 12:45.

The service is consistently going down hill. Been dinning there for at least 3 years and each time is worse than the last. Always have to ask for silverware and rarely receive drink refills. Sad. read more

How do you say canned sauce. I got the cheese ravioli with marinara sauce topped with mozzarella cheese. The ravioli was gummy and flavorless. The sauce was tasteless. They must expect the lavish blanket of mozzarella cheese to redeem this dish but it didn't by a long shot. The fabulous looking desserts - we got chocolate cannoli, Reese's cake (HUGE slice) and baklava (the ONLY tasteful item today). My daughter got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo, fair tasting, my hubby got the gyro with spaghetti on the side. He was the only diner fully pleased with his choices. We did ask for boxes to take home what we didn't finish, the stray dog in my yard may get the ravioli. I would have preferred Olive Garden even though it has worse reviews than this place. read more

Pasta at this location is awesome and delicious. I highly recommend ordering the egg plant ptarmigan. Excellent!!!

We ate there after reading a couple of good reviews and we were visiting Clinton during a festival so were not familiar with the town at all. The food was very good and portions were ample. Prices were good and the service we received was exceptional. I can't recall what we ordered but I do remember everyone was well pleased and we did order desserts. There were 4 of us, two couples and we split two desserts that were large enough to share and were just decadent! Very good place to eat and be well taken care of while you enjoy your meal. Would recommend you give it a try, we ate there at noon on a Sunday. read more

The pizzas and cheese sticks are great. The tour of Italy just decent. The overall cost was a little high for the quality of the food. In the tour of Italy we found some egg shells. read more

We don't even need menus any more! We have our favorites (Spaghetti Gondolier and Southwestern Chicken Salad w/Raspberry viniagrette!) and seldom change. LOVE the chicken soup, too!! Oh - and the breadsticks! Shut the front door - they are amazing! Service is quick and friendly, place is clean, and price is perfect. read more

Dropped by the Gondolier for dinner on a recent stay in Clinton, TN. I was impressed. The food was excellent, the service fast and cheery and the prices very reasonable. I started with their fresh bread. It was hot and soft. Had a great taste. Next. I had the chicken parmesan. It was cooked well, the breading was just right and the sauce was delicious. Next time I'm in Clinton, I plan to stop back by the Gondolier. If you're in the area and looking for a good restaurant, I'd recommend you do the same. read more

Staff were very pleasant even though we came within an hour of closing. Kid friendly. Food was just ok. Marinara needs more herbs, garlic and a pinch or two of sugar to take the acidity from the tomatoes away. Desserts looked heavenly. Flat screens with sports to appease the guys. Beer would have been a nice option. read more

I went to dinner there and had the most amazing manicotti with chicken and rice soup. The manicotti was just a little bit too cheesy but still on the end of some of the best I've had. I had never had chicken and rice soup before but it ended up being really great too(that says something because I'm very picky). Plus my waitress was really really really nice. read more

I am a truck driver . I stopped at walmart and decided to sit down and give the gondolier a try . My waiter was a very nice young man Jaelin.S.... extremely pleasant and helpful. I commend such a young man with a great work ethic. I was also please with my meal which started with chicken and rice soup. Very flavorful not stuffed with just rice and nice white meat chicken. My ceasar salad also was just right correct amount of dressing shaved parma. I was pleased. Then came bread sticks with tomato sauce. I was very surprised. The sauce was mild not over seasoned. A very good sauce. And to top all this of a tremendous portion of spaghetti with eggplant parmagiana... covered in melted mozzerella. An extremely generous portion of eggplant . It was tasty for sure. I couldnt possibly finish . So guess whats for lunch tommorrow. There display case was also impressive with hugh cakes cannolis and brownies. To which i passed on . As i was stuffed. I will return read more

Excellent chain restaurant. Fast polite service. Many vegetarian options, especially for this area. Don't skip desert, very impressive. We will be back, but we are still looking for that best Italian restaurant. It was Pasta Plus when we lived in Maryland. read more
