The charming exterior has always intrigued me and I was excited to finally have the chance to try it. The interior is simple. More could have been done to spruce up the environment. We were warmly greeted and really enjoyed the service. Fun fact, one of the servers is Italian; born and raised in Sicily. You don’t find that very often in Chattanooga. We ordered gnocchi and an eggplant dish which were good but not extraordinary. The gnocchi was a bit too soft and the roasted peppers in the gnocchi were a bit too big. However, I did appreciate the freshly grated parmigiana. The eggplant was seasoned well but wasn’t something you couldn’t find at another Italian restaurant. Overall, the experience was enjoyable but the food and atmosphere had room for improvement.

Bistecca steak and potatos was amazing (perfect flavor and medium rare and tender). The kale salad was good and the goat cheese cheesecake is pretty good too. Will return for sure.

A hidden gem. Authentic fresh Italian food and culture. A slice of Italy. Delicious to the eyes and the taste buds. Felt so upscale without the upmark in prices. If you’re tired of cookie cutter food and want delicious culture give it a try. To go lunch very quickly prepared but so good! Thx

This was the best pasta I’ve ever had in a restaurant. From Las Vegas to Portland and New York to Miami, this was world shatteringly amazing.
I would have posted pictures of the entrées, but we demolished it.

The bruschetta was good, but the high hopes that I had for this restaurant were squashed about 2 bites into my lamb marsala when I pulled the long black hair out of the bite on my fork. Unfortunately, nothing was done about it and the meal was still full price. Needless to say I did not finish the dish. The service was decent but could definitely use some attention when it comes to timeliness on refills.

Really excellent fresh delicious Italian food. Worth the drive-up signal mountain on a foggy day.

The best restaurant in Signal Mountain? I’ve been coming here for years and never had a bad meal. Delightful staff, fresh (and local) ingredients, and they really know how to cook Italian food!
I came here less than a week after spending two weeks in Italy and *still* had a wonderful meal.
The addition of a plant-based menu is simply fantastic. Really helpful for finding something to eat for the whole family.

The food is pretty good, but not amazing. I think their pizza is probably their best entree. They do have some very nice salads and appetizers though. The biggest downside is the interior. The atmosphere is uncomfortable and I usually try to sit so that I can look out a window so that I don’t have to see the inside of the building. Fortunately, they have a very nice wall of windows, so it works out. With some well thought out renovations this would be a nice restaurant.

Good Italian restaurant on top of Signal Mountain. Food is nearly always very good. They have moved away from table service and now you order at the back, find a table and they bring your food. I’m not a big fan of this way of serving though as the table service is lost. They do bring out water and bread with the food but that’s all the service you’ll get.

Nice family place with quality food and service. We both had pasta dishes, mine with seafood and my wife’s was prima vera. Mine was nicely spiced, fairly strongly, and hers was mild, she thought it was bland. We both have diet restrictions, she’s vegetarian and I don’t eat dairy. They were very patient and attentive helping us make the best selections and even altering the dishes to suit us. All in all it was a very satisfying experience.
