We had a hard time choosing which Italian restaurant to try while visiting Chattanooga, and ended…read moreup at Giardino. Overall, we enjoyed our meal. We went on a Monday night and it was pretty crowded but we were seated quickly. They give each table a big plate of bread with butter, which was delicious and a nice treat. I ordered the arancini to start with. I love arancini, and so many restaurants in Atlanta put meat in them. These were SO good, maybe my favorite arancini that I've had recently. Good ratio of risotto to cheese and nice and crispy. The sauce that came with them was really good too. I wish you got more for the cost, but it was comparable to every restaurant. I ordered the Pomodoro al Vegetariana but subbed penne for the spaghetti (just not a fan lol). The pasta was really good and perfectly cooked. The sauce was maybe a little too garlicky? There was a good ratio of pasta to veggies. I don't like mushrooms but they blended in enough that I could eat them. My gf got the Penne Toscana because she's allergic to garlic, so this was one of the few things she could eat. (Side note, one of the other local Italian restaurants we called basically said there was nothing she'd be able to eat there.) Some of the artichoke pieces were really chewy and the dish was very oily, otherwise she enjoyed it. The inside is very nice, cozy and not stuffy. Our waitress was super sweet.

This is my go to Italian restaurant. The garlic rolls here have ruined me as they are just amazing…read more The salad is a nice chopped salad with cheese, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, mushrooms, beets (not for me!), onions, and oregano that are served with a nice bathing of oil & vinegar. You can get refills on the bread and salad if you desire. For the main course, I had the chicken franchese. The lemon butter sauce is amazing. It comes with a side of spaghetti and meat sauce, but you can opt for fettuccine alfredo (I think it goes better with the lemon butter sauce). The atmosphere is comfortable like being at an Italian grandmother's house. They play the classical music from the 50s and 60s as a nice backdrop in the ambiance. The mood is casual but it can also be a good place for a group or even for an intimate romantic dinner. Service here is always amazing.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch on a rainy Sunday for the first time…read more Seating was first come first serve basis with both low and high top tables. When we entered we were greeted right away and welcomed in. My husband placed our order at the counter while I found us a table. The food took quite a while to arrive as there looked to be one lady cooking and running the food. She was doing a great job. The restaurant started filling up but she kept a smile on her face. The food: I ordered the pasta with meatballs. The meatballs were moist, the pasta sauce was very bland. I wouldn't order it again. My husband ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and loved the multiple cheeses along with Italian seasons. He also enjoyed the meatball sliders. His only complaint was that the sliders didn't come with sauce on them. He loves sliders with cheese and extra sauce. He ended up building the slider and enjoyed it. The pasta salad was amazing- one of the best either of us have had! Kudos here. This shop also has ice cream by the scoop which is a fun addition. We didn't get any this time but will remember next time we have our kids with us. Overall the food was average. If you're in the mood for Italian you might give it a try. The table beside us ordered calzones and Stromboli that looked amazing.

We decided to give it a try, and wow we were not expecting it to be this good. I loved that you can build your own pasta dish by selecting your pasta, sauce, and toppings. It feels customizable without being overwhelming. The pasta tasted fresh and homemade, the sauces were flavorful, and everything came out hot and delicious. The prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes. They also offer free parking for customers, which is always a bonus when you're traveling. If you're looking for a casual, affordable, and genuinely delicious Italian meal in Chattanooga, Tony's Pasta is absolutely worth a visit.

They had no problem making the swap and I really enjoyed my meal. The chicken was great, and the portion was plenty big. I've tried a few different dishes and for the most part enjoyed them. In particular, I love the ravioli. The only thing that fell short for me was the carbonara dish. It didn't have a ton of flavor, but was still fine. I do think this is probably the best pasta in Chattanooga, so it's a great option if you are hoping for some pasta.

The bar area is cool looking and very vintage. We were brought water right away and ordered Pinot Grigio from Italy and beer. They brought us the most delicious warm focaccia bread while we perused the menu. We ordered the Spinach Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette and their Caesar Salad... both were really really good. I loved the Lemon dressing on the spinach. For entrees, we ordered the Bolognese with Meatballs and Seared Scallops with Risotto and Spring Pea Purée. Both meals were wonderful... plated beautifully and we enjoyed every bite! Our server continued to check in and we ordered another drink. Then came dessert... we had to try! We ordered S'mores Cheesecake and the Tiramisu. Both desserts were so delicious. We did get to meet Chase the owner of the place and he was very gracious we finally made it to try his family restaurant. We'll definitely be going back again. 5*
