    Found this gem while staying for the weekend in the north shore area. What a pleasant surprise!…read moreTaylor our server was perfection! Attentive but not intrusive. The food was delicious (chicken Marsala has an interesting twist and the corn succotash - ) and the prices can't be beat. To top it off, as we left the building, Eddie the manager gave us advice on other places to dine while in town. Then he offered us to help ourselves to the fresh herbs and tomatoes they have growing on their patio. Wonderful experience! Eddie, Taylor and il Primo, y'all did Chattanooga proud

    We love Il Primo! Food is always excellent and the atmosphere is romantic…read more We decided for our New Years Eve meal to visit Il Primo. Bonus: Carbonara night is Wednesday night! Theirs is always excellent! We had a pitcher of cider sangrias and Cesar salads as well. Everything tasted amazing. So why four stars? Two reasons.... First, two pieces of plastic in my carbonara. I did not say anything due to the second reason. Server didn't seem to be too keen on giving us top notch service. We have taken note that when we are a table of four, they always give us the rundown of the nightly specials. In. Great. Detail. Every time it is just the Husband and I? Nada. Nothing. Not even an introduction by the server this time. It's not the same server either. Happens with whomever we have. Seems to be something that they need to work on at this restaurant. We love this place! Watchman (our server) did a great job when it came to serving the food. But I should not have to ask about the specials nor ask for his name. We always tip more than expected, but when will servers learn that going above and beyond will get them above and beyond the expected tip? Hopefully something changes before our next visit to Chattanooga.

    This place is superb. From the moment I walked in the smell of Italian food and garlic set the mood…read morefor what was to come. Our waitress, Kaylee was very good and personable. First we got our drinks quickly. Then out came a yummy salad with warm, pillowy yeast rolls swimming in melted butter, garlic and parsley, delicious! The 4 of us ordered differently. I had eggplant parmesian, very good! My wife had chicken francese, fabulous! One of our friends had lasagna which he loved. And his wife had chicked fettuccine and she raved about it. A very pleasant dining experience. We will make this a regular stop.

    I haven't been here in probably too many years but I had a taste for Italian and my wife had never…read morebeen. Showed up about 8:30 PM, had to wait for a table because the place was so incredibly dirty. The whole place looks "worn out"and little remains of its once elegant demeanor. The wait staff was young and more interested in horsing around with each other than taking care of diners. Paid $12 for 4 ounces of a very sour (!) Prosecco with a squirt of blackberry syrup at the bottom, but no straw to get to it. The fried raviolis were just cheese-filled and tasted of old oil. The salad contest consisted of whole leaves of iceberg lettuce, four slices of beets and six garbanzos. (This is for two people.) the salad dressing tasted of nothing but oil. The garlic rolls, for which I had raved to my wife, came out hard cold and stale. I ate a couple anyway thinking that the next batch would be fresh, but was told when I asked for more that they were "out." Since this was formerly a highlight of the Provino's experience this hit hard. My wife's entrée tasted burnt as as the only flavor and she refused to eat it. My eggplant Parmesan was cold inside and gelatinous, although the plate was warm. I suppose this Restaurant has suffered the same fate as Portofinos and the Acropolis; started by a family who is no longer involved and is now run by people who don't particularly care. Anyway there are other options for Italian in this town; heck, I would've done better going to Olive Garden. Won't be back - not ever.

    This is a beautifully family owned restaurant…read more Everything's was great from the moment we arrived. We had the bougie pizza bianca and the potato bacon pizza with the hot honey on the side. The wood-burning oven makes the crust come out to perfection.! Service was immaculate, everything came quickly, and they were so attentive, & very accommodating of my little one. The ambience is very laid-back and relaxed, we sat on the patio & will definitely be returning in the future.

    Pizzeria Cortile continues to be my favorite pizza spot in town. One of the things I so enjoy…read morethough is, while I can always count on a truly great, brick oven roasted Neapolitan pizza, and not just your everyday recipe formulations, on the weekends, they have other incredible specials as options, as well. This Friday, they offered a lasagne, and while the pizza special looked exciting, at this point, you just trust the staff to give you the right input, and Fong was up to the task. I just had to try the lasagne....the grandkids were so inclined as well so we ended up eating three portions.....absolutely delicious. The beer selection is always good as they offer a rotating draft beer selections that will truly complement whatever food you choose that evening. While it's a small location, it's comfortable and fortunately with the quality of service, even on those evenings where it is incredibly busy, they turn the tables efficiently.
