    Free first timer breadsticks!
    Stacey T.

    This was my first time eating here. The service was very friendly and helpful. You do order at the counter, so told them I'd be a minute, having not been there before. They let me take my time and offered free breadsticks for my first visit. I got the white pizza lunch special, it comes with a drink. Very reasonably priced. The food came out hot and fresh. The manager checked on me often, great little lunch spot.

    Double pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza.

    Here is a picture of my $22 Large build your own double pepperoni, sausage and mushroom pizza. I have been to Painturo's before but never to get a pizza. I thought i would finally try one tonight. Needless to say i will not be back.

    I've only ever had food taken out from here. My boyfriend and I decided to eat inside for a change. Tables were dirty with dishes. Before receiving our pizza, we discovered every single dish full of Parmesan had mold inside & we check several tables. Flies were flying on our food. & the service was not the best. Would recommend for take out but not dining in.

    The pinwheels. These were good.

    The Italian food in Mount Juliet is, well, not the best. Our neighbors kept suggesting Painturo's, staying it was amazing. We finally took their suggestion and ordered some food for pick-up. The pinwheels and the Confused pasta were the number one items recommended to us. The pinwheels were pretty good, wheeled up garlic bread covered in cheese and served with a side of pasta sauce, what's not to love?! Carbs and cheese, yussss! The second dish was interesting and, for me, tasted bland. Which is surprising since this pasta dish is made up of Alfredo and Marinara mixed together. Maybe the bold flavors cancel each other out? The pasta was also severely over cooked and everything was just sort of mushy. I prefer my pasta al dente. Who knows, maybe it's better in the restaurant and just doesn't travel well? I will say, the entire meal was only $20 and was enough to feed a family of three. No complaints on the price!

    Margherita pizza

    We decided to try this place for lunch because we saw the good reviews on yelp and were looking for a decent local pizza spot. Upon arrival we went to the counter and were eager to try multiple items on the menu. We decided on 2 side salads with their homemade basil vinegarette, wings, 2 draft beers and a small Margherita pizza. We took the beers to our table and they immediately called our number for the side salads. Perfect side salad, the dressing was amazing and they included a breadstick that was extremely tasty, we got excited. They called our number for the pizza and wings. Looking at this $11.69 10" Margherita pizza, I was taken back. There was a crust with some scattered tomatoes, basil and a few very small slices of cheese. About half of the pizza was just crust with basalmic on it. After the couple pieces of it that we ate were both unappetizing and unfilling, I went up to just order a plain small cheese for comparison. It was $7.00 for a 10", while it had more cheese on it, there was little to no sauce. So both pizzas were disappointing, the wings were also tiny and just barely acceptable. If you want a good salad with excellent dressing, this is your place, not for pizza.

    My favorite is the calzones! Wish they had a small selections of wine to go with the Italian options.

    Pricey but tasty, I would go on a Monday or Tuesday to take advantage of the $5 off a large pizza. The Ceasar salad is also excellent!

    Visiting out of town and decided to get a quick bite. Basic…read morepizza place. We ordered a Caesar and Greek salads, large and a small margarita pizza. Salads were fresh. The pizza was so so. Felt the pizza could have been cooked a few minutes more, but that is my liking. It wasn't very busy, but had a lot of staff on hand. When it was slow the pizza makers would sit at the tables in the dining area on their phones, didn't mind that, but wasn't sure if they washed their hands afterwards when it was time to prepare pizza orders. Nice boys who periodically came by the table to see if we needed anything.

    One of my favorite restaurants growing up was this family Italian joint called Carmine's. My…read morefavorite thing to order there was what they called spaghetti with meatballs. But, speaking to that, it had a couple of intersting aspects. One, they would literally give you 10-20% more if you ordered that dish to go because their to-go containers when filled were noticeably larger than the dishes your entrees came on. And, two, their "spaghetti" was actually linguine and is 100% the reason linguine is my favorite noodle when it comes to traditional rope pasta. I told you that to tell you this, Fayzano's "linguine" is definitely fettuccine. Those noodles were super wide. Not that that's a huge deal, but much like getting linguine when you're expecting spaghetti, the mouth feel for fettuccine is not the same as the mouth feel for linguine. It holds the sauce different, it retains the clams different, and the proportion of sauce to pasta is super different. I mean--it was good. Clams in red sauce will always be my preferred go-to order, but I still would've rather had the skinnier flat noodles of a linguine than a super wide fettuccine noodle. It's just more satisfying to me. The service here was good. They got our food quickly and with minimum banter. And then they got out of the way, checking in maybe every five to ten minutes, which is the perfect amount. The ambiance was good. It's a good neighborhood pizza and pasta joint like Carmine's. It's not very big but it has a lot of spacing between the tables as not to feel cramped up in there. It's also deceptively laid out to feel fuller than it is, which is nice. It gives the whole place a nice energy. I still wish thru had real linguine, but if that's my chief complaint then you know this place is doing something right.

It was a good portion size and I could tell it was freshly made. It was delicious. It has a Buttermilk fried Chicken breast atop their Spaghetti topped with house Marinara, Fresh Mozzarella and Fresh Basil. My wife got the Meatball sub with fresh handcut fries. The sandwich has hand rolled Beef Meatballs topped with house Marinara, Provolone, Mozzarella, Basil and Parmesan served in a fresh baked French Roll. This is a full size sub. It was about 8 or 10 inches. She gave it a 7 out of 10. She said she would get it again. It's worth stopping in and eating or getting some pasta and sauce to take home and make yourself.

Like, it's good enough that you *will* contemplate eating your order in your car before heading home. It's well worth the drive and it will live up to everything you've heard/read. It will. You absolutely need to patronize it. TdG had been on my radar for a minute but I'm not often in Hermitage* and I couldn't justify driving out of town for food when I have other options closer by. BUT I had to find out if the food was *just* that good. I'd read rave after rave. It's just pasta. Can it be that great? So, on a chilly late fall Saturday night I decided I needed to find out. I'd done my research so I knew the place was small. I knew I might need to play human tetris in the waiting area on a cold day. I knew what to order. But I also 'knew' that the 'say Yelp' phrase would offer a discount. The phrase was uttered but no discount came my way (which is the reason for the four stars instead of five). Lack of discount aside, everyone with whom I interacted was very polite and welcoming even despite the place being a madhouse of activity and orders. My food was ready in an appropriate amount of time and the bag had adequate weight/heft. The pleasant aroma filled the cold air as I walked to my car and surrounded me all the way home. I came home, poured a glass of wine, plated my food and... wow. This was/is phenomenal. I ordered the 4 cheese gnocchi and, without a doubt, one of the best gnocchi dishes I have had in life (and I used to be paid to eat**). I think I uttered the word 'perfect' between forkfuls. Each 'perfect' pillowy dumpling was lathered in a combo of mozzarella, asiago, gorgonzola, and pecorino. That alone would have been delicious but woven into the dish were ribbons of crispy prosciutto. Other.Worldy. It's getting cold. Sweater weather is here. Bathing suit season is months away. You're free to eat heaping plates of some of the best pasta you've ever had. *I came before they had a second location. **Among other things.

    I think it's rather funny that everyone and their mom continues to make the location of the place…read moreseem scary. In short, writing that it is in a low-income area. And to those people, I ask, "Have you ever been to Antioch?" No, this place isn't scary or in a rough neighborhood. It's definitely not Brentwood, but it's safe to say you can leave your pitchforks and torches at home. It is, for lack of better words, located in a hole in the wall of a micro-tiny strip mall, next to a sports bar. Inside, it is sweet and cozy. In this cozy place, you will find the friendliest of staff members. To have an entire staff give their customers the utmost respect is one of the most challenging tasks of any business owner. So the fact that this owner was able to achieve such a difficult task is something to applaud. There is no board with an entire menu, but there are small pamphlets off to the side with the menu. I ordered the pepperoni pizza along with the meatballs as an appetizer. My friend and I sat outside, where they have outdoor seating and tables. That, I have to say, is the only downside to this place. The seating. No indoor seating, and with how ever-changing Middle Tennessee's weather is, you might have to drive it home or eat it in the car. But with humidity changing texture in a box or to-go box, it might take the freshness away from the experience. After the food was brought out to us, which is a plus and highly appreciated, we were ready to eat. I did have to run inside to grab some packets of crushed red pepper. You must ask for it, which, without hesitation, the man minding the wood stove gladly grabbed for me. Separating a slice of pizza from the others was a sight to see. What you typically want to see separating pizza. The ooey gooey cheese in entanglement. I took a bite and fell in love with the freshness. Every ingredient is fresh, and you don't feel that awful sloth feeling that a Pizza Hut pizza would leave you with. The pepperoni was to die for. Although the meatballs had a flavor that I wasn't too happy with, I knew they were good, even if my flavor profile didn't desire it much. The meatballs were incredibly soft, and the sauce they bathed in, with a sprinkle of ricotta cheese, was divine. My friend happily downed the entire box they sat in. This now will forever be one of my go-to pizza places. And yes, it's worth it to eat in your car, if need be.
