I came to this restaurant specifically because I was craving calamari--that was really the only reason I chose it. I ordered the seafood pasta and asked if extra squid could be added in place of the scallops and mussels. When my dish arrived, I was disappointed to find there was no calamari included at all. If that had been mentioned when I placed my order, I would have chosen the pesto pasta instead. That said, the food itself was very good, and our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. They also brought us a complimentary slice of strawberry mascarpone cake to make up for the inconvenience, which was a thoughtful gesture and very much appreciated. read more

Wonderful little spot, very unassuming, but fantastic food and service. The chicken dishes were excellent. So much better than the chain restaurants that are in the area! read more

Great tiny family-run restaurant that really knows how to cook! Try the baked ziti! We've never had better! It's a very small seating area but it was sufficient and the wall mural is stunning! read more

Finally. A place that is unashamed to be Italian and not Italian-American. So delicious. Everything. I had a white wine sauce ziti with zucchini and broccoli. Very light and just right. The limoncello cake, superb! Check it out! It's just right! read more

We were not sure what to expect as we are traveling through Tennessee from New York. We went to this restaurant on a whim, and we are very glad we did. Is a very small restaurant. The atmosphere is absolutely clean and refreshing. Family owned The service was amazing. The food was outstanding portion size was good and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Spaghetti was cooked El Dante, which was wonderful. Chicken cutlets were perfect size the meat meatballs were medium size they gave you six of them. They do have canned soda the children work in the restaurant as well. I cannot say enough about the cleanliness of this place parking was good. I give this five stars and I am an Italian who loves eating other Italian food and it was delicious. read more

My Little Italy - Yum - Italian Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Wow, oh wow! This place is an absolute gem--one of those rare, authentic, soul-warming spots that you can't help but fall in love with. It's locally and family-owned, and you can taste the love in every single bite. Everything is made fresh, cooked to order, and bursting with the kind of flavor that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening on your taste buds. I'm from out of state, but every time I'm back in town, this is a non-negotiable stop. A must. A ritual. A comfort! Even though the space itself is small, the heart of this restaurant is enormous. The staff is warm, genuine, and attentive, and the chef/owner radiates passion--you can tell he truly cares about the craft of cooking and about giving guests an unforgettable experience. I ordered the house salad with their Italian dressing--crisp, refreshing, and bright. Then came the star of the night: the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and bell peppers. Let me tell you... I don't think I'll ever get this Alfredo out of my mind. The sauce is silky, rich, and creamy without being heavy--pure comfort wrapped around perfectly cooked pasta. Easily one of the best Alfredo dishes I've ever had. Dessert was the limoncello cake, and it was phenomenal. Delicately lemony, light, and the perfect sweet finish. My friend ordered the traditional marinara with meat (robust, comforting, and full of Italian-home-cooking warmth) and the tiramisu, which was soft, airy, and wonderfully balanced. And I can't forget the bruschetta--remarkable. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy, the bread had the perfect crunch, and that touch of sweet glaze tied it all together like a little bite of heaven. I truly hope this place stays around for years to come. It's the kind of family restaurant you want to cheer on and watch grow. I can't wait to see how they expand--and I already can't wait to come back. read more

We are NY Italians although we've lived in Knoxville for 21 years. We almost never go to Italian restaurants because we actually know what it is supposed to taste like and 955 of the places are awful. My Little Italy it 100% pure true NY Italian food!!! This place is so good, the service is perfect. It is not polished, it is not posh, it is authentic! You visit with the servers, you exchange stories, you meet the chef. It's one family (as it should be). It's not fast, it's relaxed and fun and the food is really homemade! It's noisy and cozy and it's like being in our grandmothers house on Sunday with all the cousins and such. We're going tonight again because we just love it here. The baby on the sign is our servers baby. We just love these people, they are just wonderful! read more

My Little Italy is a charming mom-and-pop restaurant in the Great Smoky Mountain area. The food is outstanding! We enjoyed crispy bruschetta, authentic eggplant parmigiana with a rich, chunky tomato sauce, and perfectly cooked ziti. For dessert, we shared a cannoli with both caramel and chocolate drizzle, which was a perfect finish. Our experience was a solid 5/5 from the time we walked in to the time we left. The staff were very kind, service was quick and the ambiance was inviting. Highly recommend this spot for anyone in the area! Food- 5/5 Service- 5/5 Ambiance- 5/5 read more

Nice little family run place. Great service and great food. Seated right away even though it was busy for a Wednesday night.

In a very unassuming building off one of the main roads into Pigeon Forge this little Italian gem hit the mark. The food was delicious for everyone in our party. And our server was excellent. I ordered the fettuccine carbonara with chicken and you can tell everything was made fresh in house including the fresh brewed tea. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for Italian food in a sea of southern comfort. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and come again. Also nice to see a changing station in the bathrooms. read more

This was one wildly successful dinner from the time we walked in the front door where we were greeted with a big smile and a welcome to the service being incredibly friendly and super fast to the food being delivered quickly and being steaming hot and really tasty to.. From the photos you can see our dinner choices one being eggplant Parmesan and the other being fettuccine alfredo. We also started with some zucchoni sticks but they were gone before we could grab a photo. The zucchini sticks were incredibly natural ish where they didn't load them down with all breading and served a delicious marinara sauce. We were also sold the ranch sauce and this is the one thing I have is they didn't tell us that there would be a charge for the additional sauce but recommended trying both. That same thing happened I went my wife's dish when the girl asked if we wanted to put any veggies or anything in them she asked it as if it was just a question not hey we're going to charge you for each one of them so my wife answered and sure enough we were charged for each one of them. As mentioned earlier, the food was smoking hot and the marinara sauce was fantastic. I mean really really good. The fettuccine was cooked perfectly the sauce was delicious and my ziti was also amazing and cooked exactly how anyone should like it. The server was fantastically friendly and attentive but no in an overbearing way. Overall we were left with a really good feeling about this place and though the portions were more moderate than typical American portions especially for the price, will be back. read more

The food was so tasty, everything my party ordered was delicious. I would definitely recommend trying their chicken parmesan or the lasagna, the sauce has such great flavor, and you can't go wrong with any dressing on the side salad that comes with your meal they were all really good. The restaurant is family owned, service was good, our waitress was very sweet and efficient. It's a great place with food better than any other Italian dinner hotels will recommend if you're spending time in the area of Sevierville/Pigeon Forge. read more

Good Italian food in a small intimate cafe! Surprisingly good bruschetta and spaghetti!

This is a hidden gem. We were driving past and decided to give it a try. Oh my goodness , so glad we did the food was AMAZING! I had the Lasagna and ate every bite of the good size portion and my husband had the Seafood Linguine which was loaded with clams, muscles, calamari, shrimp and fish, He cleaned his plate and said it was delicious. The bruschetta was a bonus and also delicious. This place is owned by a beautiful, kind family. I highly recommend it. My only regret was not getting a picture, next time! read more

Amazing food and friendly place! A small little shop- don't let the size fool you! We give it a 5*

We are from out of town and stumbled across this delightful and unassuming Italian eatery. We enjoyed chicken parm and fettuccine with pesto. While the service was prompt, even though they were at capacity, both meals arrived quickly and were delicious. What stood out for me was the marinara sauce. I'm critical of watery sauce that lacks taste. My Little Italies marinara was thick, ruch, and busting with flavor. Best I've ever had. Bar none. read more

We were thrilled to find this tiny hidden gem. First let me say that this place is very small. It only has 8 tables and a couple of those only seat 2 people. The waitress told us that on the weekends and all summer u must have a reservation to get in. We were waiting at the door at 11:00 on a Wednesday in March when they opened and got right in without a reservation. They were very welcoming and friendly. Everything that we had was incredible from the salad to the desserts. The waitress told us that everything is homemade and family owned and staffed by an Italian immigrant family! We were just passing through but now I'm trying to figure out another trip out this way so I can visit this restaurant again. I highly recommend this place. read more

We were looking for this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. We drove by it before we realized that little building was it. We pulled into the parking lot and ALMOST left without going in. It was so small. And there was only one other couple inside. And the building looks like it used to be a Dairy Queen or something. Leaving would have been the biggest mistake of my culinary life. This place is AMAZING! The service is excellent. The food is beyond what anyone's Italian grandmother cooks. The pasta was done perfectly. The sauces were spot on. The veal, chicken and shrimp we had were tender and perfectly cooked. And the prices! Ridiculously low! And the inside decor, while not elegant, was nice! You have to try this place. It deserves its five stars! However, if you want wine, bring it yourself (which you can do). Apparently TN, in their wisdom, has decided that places that seat less than 40 patrons can't get a liquor lisc. read more

This place was exceptional for a small place. It's one of those hole in the wall places that doesn't get a lot of attention because I'd never heard of it from anyone. The service and food were top notch! My girl friend and I went here on Valentine's Day not knowing that they had a special deal for it. It was $60 plus tax for two people. It included your choice of appetizer which was either bruschetta or caprese salad, two salad salads-either house or Caesar, an entrée which there were about eight choices, and we both got the ziti, and dessert which was cannoli. By far the best Italian food that I have had in this area besides Fazoli's.! the service was great! Our waitress gave us a lot of garlic bread to go with our meal and was very attentive read more

Great Food, friendly service. Calamary and salads are top choice for us. Will come back and hope others enjoy also.

The staff greeted us right away and the server was very friendly. The smell was amazing right away, and I knew the food was going to be good. My daughter and I ordered the linguini marinara, seafood linguini, and shrimp scampi. Everything was beyond delicious. I can see why they are highly rated (4.9) on yelp. It was totally worth the drive over here from Pigeon Forge. The server thanked us for coming in, said have a great day, and was very courteous. I've been to Italy twice, and I had my favorite Italian place in Long Beach, CA. This place is my new favorite. The only knocks would be no alcohol and the place is small, but it didn't bother us. Wish we lived closer to come here all the time to try new things. read more

Family owned business with great food and excellent service. We had spaghetti with meatballs and chicken parm and both were delicious.

Small Italian restaurant with big flavor! Great meal. Glad we stopped by. The eggplant and veal dish was amazing.
