We were so hungry, and Italian food sounded great. The fellow who came over to our table had a…read moreflat affect; his manner wasn't rude but he definitely was not friendly. He probably was tired? We ordered the spinach artichoke dip appetizer which was DEVINE! Husband then ordered the pasta pomodoro with sausage with which he was very disappointed. He said it tasted "okay", nothing spectacular. I ordered the Vodka di Gallo. The pasta was very dry, what little sauce had been put on it had completely absorbed into the pasta. I asked for more sauce. A lady delivered a teeny bowl of sauce, I was surprised that they would be so restrictive with their sauce! I mixed it up as best I could. We were never offered Parmesan cheese, so I requested some. The lady returned with the TINIEST little round dish of granulated cheese. I dumped the teeny tiny amount proffered onto my entree, and giggled. I took the attached picture to show the tiny amount of cheese that I was given. My pasta was flavorless, so I left it as you see pictured. We asked for the check and departed. As I went to post this review I read other reviews about bread being given with meals. We were offered no bread. It seemed to us the staff was ordered to be very miserly as opposed to what in a normal Italian restaurant was happily offered. Bread on the table. Cheese offered when the entree is served. Your server checking on how your meal was. NOPE. We had to flag down a different server for help. According to the reviews, they used to offer bread. And now they don't. Wow. They give you a miserly amount of sauce. Parmesan cheese only is given if you flag someone down and ask for it, (it was never offered), and when you do get your cheese allowance, it is a thimbleful-as evidenced in my picture. When I went into type up my review just now, I was horrified by their bad health department rating. Yikes! If we had read that before we chose to go there, we NEVER would have entered. I hope the owner reads the reviews and makes improvements. Health department corrections needed immediately. Patrons are your profit. What a shame.

Unlike a Gilbert & Sullivan musical, nobody on gondolas sang for me as I entered Gondolier, but…read moremaybe that's because I was ordering to go. There was a good crowd though. I picked up two small pizzas and a spaghetti & meatballs. I was actually quite impressed with the pizzas, one being a small with sausage and pepperoni and the other a Super Vegetarian with mushrooms, peppers, green and black olives, and tomatoes. I hate olives, yet somehow I still liked that pizza! The toppings were well balanced, thoroughly cooked cheese, a good amount of sauce, and a decent bake on the dough. The spaghetti was the definition of average though. Almost no sauce so I can't say how it tasted because thankfully I had pasta sauce at home. The meatballs were fine but nothing to sing about. Gondola or no gondola, I would row back to Gondolier for another pizza and perhaps try something else like their sandwiches!

We have driven by this restaurant on several occasions & finally decided to stop. It was lunch time…read moreso why not. The restaurant was welcoming & it smelled good. The waitress told us to grab a seat wherever we wanted. She was quick on taking our drink order. After reviewing the menu we decided on the lunch special & a capri salad. Our capri salad arrived & looked appetizing. After our first bite we looked at each & said "it's not Florence". The tomatoes did not have flavor, drizzle of olive oil was light & very light balsamic vinegar. The lunch special of 2 slices with 2 toppings was outstanding, even with a big flop. It's big enough for two people or tomorrow's lunch. Will go again, maybe for dinner.

To find this place, you have to go to Crafty Bastards Brewery. You can order at the bar, and then…read moreyou pick up your order at the "hole in the wall". Clever!! It's very open and spacious in the brewery. And now that I know it's dog-friendly, the pup will be coming with us next time!. They have bands occasionally, too - so make sure you check the schedule. We arrived one night, and the band was sold out - so we had to leave, but had just enough time to have a brew and a pie. So check in before heading that way to ensure you can indeed get in. It can get busy, and the line can get long - so be prepared, and you might want to get two at a time those nights. As for the food, I have to say the Greek salad was AMAZING. Super fresh, zingy dressing. Just so good. The pizza was decent - nice thin crust and fresh toppings. Will it go down as the best pizza you've had - nah, but it goes good with a cold brew. Overall solid place.

WORST PAPA JOHNS EVER!!…read more I have several issues with this Papa Johns. - Pizza quality is terrible. We've ordered pizza several times here, and their pizza consistently has large bubble areas of no cheese. They must be skipping out on the cheese to save money. Little Caesar's $6 pizza is far better. - Pricing: Each Papa Johns runs their own deals, and this one is consistently the most expensive by far. You'd think with the added cost, they'd provide better pizza. NOPE! - Scammers. When we went to pick ip the pizza and stuck the credit card in the machine, the Papa Johns worker said there are inly 2 options for tip, I believe 20% and 25%. She tried hiding the "no tip" option. She tried convincing us that not tipping was not an option. Sorry folks, but simply picking up an overpriced pizza, we don't tip. - Politics shoved in your face. Whatever your political affiliation, with the papa johns sign on the delivery car, you should keep that separate. Saw this papa Johns delivery car from a previous visit to the store.

The extra 1/2 star is because they have turnip greens and many places don't. That said, it's more the processed greens than the homemade kind that is thicker and more flavorful. The brisket was mostly good. A little dry and too much fat though. I prefer juicer, lean cuts. This had some nice meaty pieces. But, just didn't completely hit the mark on taste. Overall: I'd come back. It's a good location right in the middle of downtown Loudon. Good vibe and quick service.
