    Small black olive, hamburger and Canadian bacon pizza. Best part is when you purchase one the second one is free

    Stopped here after a day of travel to Cloudland Canyon State Park. Best pizza I've had for quite some time! The staff was friendly and helpful. Very clean restaurant and bathrooms. Recommend you give them a try when in the area.

    I have yet to have a bad experience at Rafael's in the decades I have dined there. My go-to is the House Special Calzone and Greek salad.

Everything we ordered was delicious, and you can really tell that a lot of care goes into the food. The service was also fantastic. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel special without being overbearing. Alleia is definitely one of those Chattanooga restaurants that feels like an experience, not just a place to grab dinner. It would be great for a date night, celebration, or just treating yourself to a really nice meal. We will absolutely be back!

We chose to sit outside on the covered patio, which was beautifully lit with twinkle lights and had a great atmosphere for a relaxed dinner. To start, we ordered the arancini. The flavor was good, but my wife and I both felt it could have used a bit more sauce. For our entrees, we had the rigatoni and the lasagna with Sunday sauce. Unfortunately, the rigatoni wasn't my favorite. The dish felt a little unbalanced, and the sauce was on the greasy side, which didn't pair particularly well with the noodles and lamb. The lasagna, however, was the standout of the evening. It was surprisingly light, and we loved the spinach noodles. The flavors came together beautifully and made it the best dish we tried. Overall, while not every dish was a hit for us, the ambiance and lasagna made the visit worthwhile. I'd recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

First thing to know: they don't take reservations, so plan to arrive early. But if there's a wait, don't worry, it can actually be part of the experience! On Thursday through Saturday, check out the Waiting Room. Look for the door right next to the main entrance, head upstairs, and you'll find a great bar where you can relax while you wait. We started downstairs at the bar, and our bartender was amazing! She made a fantastic Old Fashioned. The only thing that could have made it better? Clear ice! You know I'm always looking for that! Once we were seated, we started with the Garlic Knots, and WOW, were they good! And here's a little insider tip: don't let them take the bowl when you're finished! There's some incredible garlic butter left in the bottom, and you're going to want that later! We also ordered the Margherita Pizza, and it was sooo good! For our entrees, we tried the Alfredo Lasagna, Baked Tortellini Lasagna, and Chicken Marsala. The Alfredo Lasagna was good, although I was hoping for a little more Parmesan flavor. The Baked Tortellini Lasagna, on the other hand, was fantastic, great flavor and definitely one I'd order again. The Chicken Marsala was also excellent. And whatever you do, get the Bread Service! It's a must-have. And remember that garlic butter I told you to save from the Garlic Knots? Yep... you're going to need it! Of course, you have to save room for dessert. One cannoli, please! And yes, it was the perfect way to finish the meal. The service was amazing, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere made the drive completely worth it. So, what are you waiting for? ROAD TRIP TIME TO EAGLEVILLE! One final hint: watch those speed-limit changes as you get closer to town! Let's just say the city has found a creative way to encourage everyone to slow down. Cheers!

    It is a very small place and you can expect to wait if you come at the peak hours. The food and…read moreservice were absolutely amazing! My husband and I split the chicken marsala but that was after we gorged ourselves on the amazing garlic knots and even ordered an additional order! Their wine selection is very good. We went with another couple and split a bottle of wine and had some old fashions. Our waitress, Lauren, was very attentive and even put up with our antics!
