We didn't ever have to ask for drink refills. She was on top of everything. Incredibly friendly and kind. Seriously fantastic! Then the food - oh my word! Incredible. The bread you can get out front is excellent with a garlic butter dip that is just so good. Their Caesar salad is one of the best I've had - tons of shaved parm and pine nuts. We almost never like spaghetti and meatballs when we're out - never as good as homemade, but their bucatini and meatballs was incredibly flavorful. The pasta was perfectly cooked. Husband loved their meatball sub - best one he's ever had. I also loved the baked chicken pesto pasta - such good flavors in here. We come for vacation every now and then - this is now a must for us every visit!

What can I say? This is as authentic Italian as you'll find almost anywhere in the U.S. outside of…read morereal Italian neighborhoods. I'd give it a 4.8 or 4.9 -- a perfect 5 is basically unobtainable in my book. Ristorante DellaSantina sits on the outskirts of Sevierville / Pigeon Forge, sort of behind Hollywood, perched on a small hillside along the road. It's unassuming. You could drive right past it. The interior is quaint and tastefully done -- simple and clean, the way an Italian restaurant should look. Our host was excellent. The place was a little backed up because some tables were still sitting and talking long after they finished dinner. Please be considerate of people waiting: take the conversation to the bar or head out so the next table can sit. Once we were seated, service moved fast. The staff zipped around with purpose. Appetizers came out quickly, and the entrees were virtually right behind them. The longest wait was the fresh-cut fries -- and they were shockingly worth it. The food is outstanding. Italian cooking varies by city and region, so flavor profiles differ. We started with a salad and the meatballs (get the meatballs). We both ordered chicken Parmesan. My wife had Bolognese on the pasta and tomato-basil on the chicken; I had Bolognese on both. Coming from a heavily Italian area for 60+ years, I've eaten a lot of home-cooked and restaurant Italian. These sauces were perfect to me -- barely acidic, well balanced with herbs, not the sweet style some people prefer. They walk a very fine line. Everything tasted fresh. No commercial junk. Salad was excellent with a great Italian dressing. The meatballs are as good as you'll likely ever get in a restaurant -- maybe even at home. The hand-cut fries were a huge pile (had to be three potatoes) with a slight exterior crisp and an interior like butter. The chicken Parmesan was the best version I've had in 40+ years. My wife loved hers too, even though she usually prefers a slightly sweeter Bolognese. Both plates came with rigatoni cooked al dente. No dessert at the table -- we were already exploding before we finished. If you're traveling, split a plate or you'll be packing leftovers into a hotel mini-fridge. We did grab two custom ice creams from their pizzeria next door and ate them later at the hotel. OMG -- awesome. Same building: thin crust and Chicago-style pizza. We recommend this restaurant with no hesitation. It will likely be the best Italian meal you've had.

Let me go ahead and state that this review may be tainted slightly by nostalgia and fond memories…read more A long time ago when my wife and I were newly married the Johnny Carinos in our town was our go to date night. They closed decades ago and despite my being an excellent cook and learning to make several of our favorite recipes, it was never the same. Last night while on vacation, we realized that there was a Johnny Carinos near where we were staying. There was no question what was for dinner. We showed up after a long day of being tourists together. Neither one of us was terribly hungry, but we were not going to let that stop us. She started with a sangria and I ordered a raspberry Italian soda ( I've never seen my drink anywhere except Johnny Carinos and forgot how good they were). We shared a small plate of Italian nachos. They were a little lighter on the Alfredo sauce than we remember but were still fantastic. The fact that they had a small plate now suited us since we were both getting entrees too. She ordered the Chicken Scalopini and I ordered the Chicken Milano (without mushrooms). Both dishes were larger than we remember and we barely dented them before getting full. Both were exactly what we had wanted and cooked flawlessly. I can happily say that Johnny Carinos lived up to my memories .

It's thin and you fold it to eat it, kinda like New York-style pizza, which I love. The pizza was a little pricey, around $28-30 for a half cheese and half mushroom/olive. It took about 15 minutes, which really wasn't bad because they were pretty busy when we went. The pizza was really good and definitely reminded me more of pizza back home than a lot of the places around here. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

Just never knew when Taste of Italy was opened or closed. I often wonder how local businesses survive inflation and the unskilled job market. Solorzano's - I did Not make up this name -- Claims to be real Italians from near Naples, Italy. Not fans of Naples Pizza.... Yes, a slight remodel and open from 10:30 am - midnight. We have excellent Pizza in Dayton, OH, and we tend to prefer Mountain and Tennessee cuisine during our Smoky Mountain week. My wife spies Zuppa Di Pesce, and I order Shrimp and Scallops Fra Diavio. Both are excellent, and we recommend a pasta entrée. Solorzano's Gatlinburg offers their design of Gourmet Pizza, and offers this pizza by the slice. It's ok, but a Chicago pizza is our style; and we'll stick with our pasta orders. Solorzano's has been open for several months, but has not learned Marketing - have not seen advance knowledge of this company. Also Biden did not cause Inflation - Lots of Corporate Greed did and Solorzano's shares in this greed. Solorzano's prices are way too high. DO NOT display your political Bias on the Menu! We recommend Solorzano's and hope for the best.

The tables were not cleaned; we literally had to look for the least dirty table out there. The staff taking the order genuinely seemed disinterested or perhaps he was just too tired.

A place with a unique combination of low expectations and low performance. We walked into the place…read moreafter looking at their online menu and the name seemed the only thing Italian about them. Despite the menu having very limited options, we went in expecting a quick bite and decent food. All we wanted was some food so that pangs of hunger wouldn't wake us up at night. But their performance defied our expectations. The pizzeria is stuck in the past and funnily not even in a glorious one. Arcade machines occupy nearly half of the floor space and it had games that were part of the zeitgeist more than a decade ago. New and engaging games like Floppy Bird and Temple Run to name a few. While one can forgive the lack of innovation in their menu, the food that was served to us disappointed us further. We ordered two Veggie pizzas and Boneless Buffalo Chicken Wings for appetizers. The Veggie pizza was underdone in the middle giving it the distinction of being both crunchy and mushy - mushy in the middle crunchy towards the edges. The excess cheese did not do the pizza any favors and the veggies lacked any significant crunch that would have salvaged this joint's reputation. The wings were seemingly microwaved and the buffalo sauce was more rancid than tangy. While it is along expected lines for chains such as Bellacino's to fare poorly in the innovation of their menus and quality of food (challenges attributed to scaling), the lack of cleanliness at this place truly sets it apart. The tables were not clean, there were food crumbs on the floor, and kitchen equipment had seen better days. All in all, do I recommend that you go here? It's affordable but so are bananas. That is what we ended up doing, going to Walmart and buying bananas. Is it tasty? If you love undercooked pizza dough with excess cheese, this should be on your go-to list. Is it unique? If shabby arcade games are your thing then yes.

It ended up being an issue as the staff claimed they had no clue about our arrival , there was no table ready for us , we had to make shift a table and then sit others down at nearby spaces . The young lady at counter was told about our call and all she had to say was you didn't speak to me and was not even trying to be helpful. A little disappointed as we have been to Orlando location and had great service . This location seems overwhelmed . You order pizza/food at counter and then get a number. The food comes out as ready but we had to get our own plates, silverware and even ask for basic things you'd think should be brought w pizza, such a Parmesan cheese and crushed pepper. The pizzawas good fortunately, we ordered 4 pizzas sausage and pepperoni, wings and a salad . The salad was to have balsamic dressing in it which it didn't and when my sister went to ask for the dressing she was handed an Italian dressing bag and told that's the same thing of what they use .. kinda interesting Overall although the pizza was good the service at counter was almost rude . The servers tried at least to be of assistance when asked for cheese and pepper. I just feel that as a pizza place some things should be on table actually or be brought automatically with pizza order . Giving two stars because of counter service .
