I saw that this restaurant wasn't far from our hotel and my colleague didnt wanna drive into Knoxville, so we ended up here. The hostess, who ended up also being our waitress, seated us right away. She indicated everything is made in-house and locally sourced. After looking at the menu, which seemed a bit small, I decided to go with the beef gnocchi. Our waitress was a bit quirky and slow to fill up our iced tea which we both drank pretty quickly. She kept repeating everything we said to make sure she understood which is great in theory but becomes annoying in reality. The garlic roll appetizer is really nothing special and between my colleague and I we only ate 3 of the 4 rolls. However. I noted other reviewers seem to go crazy over it. Compared to a local Italian restaurant back home which has awesome garlic knots, this dish was a disappointment. The gnocchi, which we both ordered, was pretty good even though it's a new menu item. The menu indicates it has horseradish, which would have given it some pop; however, it was not even noticeable. We both felt if you're gonna advertise it on the menu, customers should be able to either see or taste it in the dish. I added a chocolate ricotta cake for dessert, which I really shouldn't have, but ordered anyway. While the cake was pretty good, the chocolate sauce that it comes with was not as good as the one I had eaten two nights before in Cincinnati. This one is a bit bitter. The ricotta was also a mini mystery. In addition, the menu indicates there is a cream cheese icing. However, there is no icing, just a dusting of powdered sugar on the cake. It turns out the ricotta is cooked into the cake, as well as added into the cream cheese filling. Both of which are not really noticeable as far as look or taste. Overall, the place is small and reservations are always a good idea for restaurants this size, but I was just expecting more.

OMG! We stopped in here for pizza after seeing excellent reviews. This is undoubtedly the best pizza we have had outside of Chicago in five years since moving to East Tennessee. We ordered the Supremo on the original dough. The toppings were delicious and generous. The pizza was the perfect size for two. Our server, Cory, was very informative and friendly. He had an uncanny sense, always arriving just when we needed another drink or something else. I know that this is now our go to place for pizza. It was already our place for great pasta.

The MUST GET - goat cheesecake. Gelato is also great but the cheesecake is mind blown.

This place is truly a hidden gem. A little far from Knoxville but worth to come for sure. Came with colleagues on a Wednesday after work, and got mind blown by the food. The ambience is really good for any gathering. Not too many parking spots outside though. We got the garlic rolls with different flavor. Both made us drooling as soon as the lady brought them to the table, and it's gigantic. Chicken wings and burrata salad are great appetizer options. Then after waiting patiently, the pizza I ordered came. The freshness straight-out-of-the-oven is so good. My friends' pastas are so yummy too and we had to share. Most importantly, save some space for the goat cheese cake, which is mind blown. You'll not regret if you get it.

Chicken Parm

OK... have to say it was a disappointment! Took my Mom to dinner Sunday for Mother's Day. Service was slow and being such a small space quite noisy. Split Chicken Parm and Kale Salad. Salad was lackluster... dressing had little flavor and I had to ask for extra. The Chicken Parm was very good. It had been awhile since I had dined here, but I didn't remember only 6 dinner entrees being offered. One was actually not available. Pizza took up the whole right side of the menu and there was a brisk takeout Business going on that seemed to get a lot of attention... sorry but think I'll try other options next time. Dessert was good but small.

I always love Amici, I feel like it's a special night when I go there, even though the atmosphere is relaxed. The food is always great, the service is even better, and I like the unique things they have on the menu. The specialty cocktails are super. Tonight I had the margarita pizza. And by the way, the heated olives appetizer is amazing. I hope they never get rid of it. All was very good. My cocktail was the Chattanooga glider, a mixture of whiskey, aperol, Amarro, and it was good.

I had one of the best dinners in quite some time last weekend at Amici. My friend and I started with a bottle of wine and the Arancini appetizer. Soooo good! The plate arrived with 3 giant mozzarella cheese balls, delicately covered in bread crumbs, filled with chicken and jalapeño strips, then baked and served over pomodoro sauce. They were delicious and the perfect start to our meal. For entrees, I had the Mushroom Agnolotti. Hand-made pasta, filled with mushrooms & cheese, in a sauce that was so light yet rich, with a tiny hint of lemon. It was also topped with a bit of corn & parmesan. My friend had the Chicken Parmesan and said it was delicious as well. The only regret was that the chicken parm red sauce was similar to the red sauce of the appetizer, so they wished they'd had more of a change-up between appetizer and entree. Service was great - our server was very friendly and helpful. Note - be sure to have a reservation! When we arrived, the restaurant was already pretty full, including a good number of people eating at the bar. I've added this to my short list of favorite restaurants in the Knoxville area. It's definitely worth the drive!

Both things had no flavor though. Even with an herb butter, there was no flavor. Disappointing. The mac n cheese was the weirdest I have ever seen and my husband tasted it and then would not eat it. He said it was nasty. The cheese fries were ok. They usually come with a cheese sauce, but we asked for melted shredded cheese instead. They forgot to put the bacon on them. They were ok. My husband said his chicken teriyaki bowl was really good and it was huge. I think they probably do some things really well and some need some work. If I lived nearby I would eat here again to try other things.

We popped in because we wanted a beer before the St. Patrick's Day parade. We ended up staying here…read morea few hours because you could see the parade from the window. It wasn't crowded inside, there are a lot of seating options for big or small groups. Several tables could seat at least 6. Michael was bartending when we went. He did a great job at making us feel like locals! He was attentive even though it was quite busy from people coming in from the parade. The arcade area was pretty cool. Each side had a bar, but only one was open at the time we went. We didn't get food, but it looked like they had some yummy options from what we saw get delivered to other tables. The music was good. The people were friendly as well. This is definitely a place we would return to if we come back in town!

Give a 4 but was really thinking 3.5 stars just because of the food (I didn't order any drinks and…read moreit was a quick stop in). I saw the ramen on the Yelp pictures and it spoke to me, so I walked in and ordered some. You have to stand in line at the bar to order your food so that took awhile, but the food came out pretty quick. I wasn't too impressed with the ramen, and I've had ramen all over the world. The broth was good, I enjoyed the spicy flavor. However, having tomatoes in the ramen was weird and I didn't enjoy that. My biggest complaint is there was very little meat in the ramen, like 2 small chunks of brisket. It seems like a great place to have drinks and hang out, but as far as the food it was meh to me.
