Sometimes the best meals are the ones you weren't planning on…read more My friend was craving Italian food late in the evening, and Tony's Pasta happened to be nearby. 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.

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.

What an absolutely incredible dining experience at Alleia! We were driving from Tampa to Tennessee…read moreand, as huge foodies, we always love exploring new restaurants along the way. Alleia turned out to be one of those meals we'll be talking about for a very long time. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, with such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Our server, Dakota, was exceptional ~ kind, tactful, and genuinely welcoming. After being on the road for about 9 hours, we definitely weren't dressed for a beautiful dinner out, but Dakota immediately made us feel completely comfortable and assured us that we were more than welcome to dine there. That kindness set the tone for the entire evening. Our cocktails, the Spaghetti and Pretty in Pink, were both 10/10! But the food was truly outstanding. The halibut with creamed corn, arugula, and tomato relish was absolutely phenomenal, and the trout with zucchini and squash was prepared to perfection. Every herb, flavor, and ingredient felt thoughtfully chosen and beautifully balanced!! For dessert, we had the tiramisu, uniquely served in a clear little cup where you could see every gorgeous layer of mascarpone, along with the flourless chocolate cake. Both were fantastic and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. We've been talking about this dinner since last night and are genuinely sad that we live so far away! Everything ~ from the atmosphere and cocktails to the food, desserts, and especially Dakota's wonderful service ~ was outstanding. He made our evening feel extra special! 5 stars without hesitation. We sincerely hope our travels bring us back to Chattanooga soon because Alleia will absolutely be on our list to visit again!

Both seemed they had been defrosted earlier in the day but overall the taste for both were still quite good. Just a bit of sections that were still pretty cold/frozen. The service was great and our waiter kept checking how everything was. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. It was also great to see how he and the other waitress interacted with the other customers. The atmosphere was also great. The brick walls and lighting lent to an authentic and cozy feel. We look forward to another date night here in the future.

If this is so, management should give him small less challenging tables. Our food orders were about half wrong and the portion sizes we much smaller than in the past. I ask for the manager/ owner. He was a little condescending and dismissive about all the complaints. 20 dollars plus tax and tip for a very small piece of overcooked and dried out chicken and a couple ounces of spaghetti is not acceptable. 18.50 plus tax and tip for a half a bowl of spaghetti and a meatball and sausage. No that's. I'd rather stay home and fix my own dinner. Farewell provinos

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 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.

She could have told me anything and how would I know? Anyway, we were seated very quickly and our server was there before we knew it. He took our drink order and have us a few minutes to check out the menu. When he came back we asked if we could do half Demarco and half sausage and pepperoni. Said yes so that's what we got. Pizza came quick and it was prolly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long long time. Although I can't remember the last time I was there, but pretty sure it was good then too. I will say that there was one very serious problem and we could have handled it better. You see there were 4 of us with one being our 9 yr old grandson. Pizza had 8 slices, so we each had 2. Now tell me how fair is it that Grandpa only got 2 and the kid got 2. We should have ordered a 2nd pie.

I was tempted to ask for extra red or marinara sauce. The crust was good, no burning on the bottom. I had to eat half the slice before I got to the special cheese. The peach sangria was very refreshing & for 1/2 off I thought about extending my stay, but I had to keep room for the next pizza stop. The bartender & staff were all really nice & working as a team. Communicating with each other & the patrons. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.
