My friend and I took a little road trip to La Cucina after a friend recommended it for the…read moredelicious food. Overall, the experience was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd drive out of the way for again. If I lived closer, I'd definitely give it another try. We started with sweet tea and bread. The bread with dipping sauce was tasty and a nice start. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and my friend had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Unfortunately, both entrées were pretty bland. My chicken lacked flavor, and I ended up leaving most of it along with half the noodles. My friend only ate one meatball and passed on the rest. The highlight of the entire meal was the Crème Brûlée -- absolutely amazing! If you go, I highly recommend ordering dessert and maybe trying a different entrée than we did. A friend had suggested the lasagna, and I wish I had taken that advice. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful country setting, and the interior feels warm and inviting. With a few tweaks to the entrées, I think this place could really shine.

The serving of flounder was so generous I had the second half the next night. The mashed potatoes and broccoli with capers was very good. What I will definitely get again is the tiramisu.

This was one of the oddest restaurant experiences I have ever had. I called in a Deluxe (pepperoni,…read moresausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion) pizza on a GF crust with vegan cheese, but they mistakenly made me a plain vegan cheese pizza on a GF crust first. It took ten extra minutes to get out of there, but they didn't charge me any more than what I already paid, so it felt like a buy one, get one free offer and the ambiance was decent. I blasted the heater in my car so the pizzas were still warm enough. I ate them both in about 17 minutes, and that is really how to fill up one's stomach. Both had a decent crunch on the outside of the crust, but the deluxe was far more flavorful, and tasted like classic Italian cuisine. The plain pizza was smothered in cheese and it felt like I would have rather fed it to my two-year-old sister, but it still tasted good. The last time this kind of accident happened was several years ago at Mellow Mushroom, but overall, I was still treated to a good meal.

The service from them, the speed at which the food was brought out was good, except for two dishes that were slow in coming. The interaction with the maître d was horrible! So - NEVER reserve a room well in advance at the Black Olive in Jonesborough TN . IF you do, make sure you add about 5 to ten extra people to your party (who may or may not actually be coming). That way, when you are seated in the reserved space, you actually have enough seating. WE reserved the space for 20 people well over a month ago, for five o'clock. We were later called and asked for an exact number. We told them we didn't know, but that maybe only 15 would show up, and we reserved for 20. So what did they do? They set three tables for us. Two pushed together and one alone. Where in reality, 12 people could fit. We had 18 people show up for my very special milestone birthday dinner. When we arrived, we were told they could not seat that many, that the rest of the room was reserved for another large party that would arrive in an hour. They allowed the overflow of our group to sit at two other tables in that room, while they were empty. BUT at 8 minutes to 6, we were told the other party had arrived, and those of our party that were sitting at the other table would have to leave! Thankfully, we had all finished eating, but had not had dessert which was supposed to be an entire carrot cake we ordered to be cut and served to all who wanted it within our party. The rest of the cake we were going to take home. Mind you, a whole carrot cake there costs $80.00! It was my birthday, and we weren't concerned about the price. When those of our party were told they would have to leave, the maitre d ' (a man with a man bun) started clearing all of their plates from the table. We were never asked if they wanted dessert! We kept reminding them about the cake. The waitress said she would cut it for us if we wanted. We did. She did not. There was never a cake brought to us. Thankfully, we were not charged for it either. Needless to say, we were told repeatedly before, during, and after our meal by this maître d that he had arranged seating for 15 people and that we had told him there would only be 15 - wrong. We told them 20. Plus, there is no way even 15 people could have fit into the seating he had arranged. Bottom report - we were not happy, but we will get over it. And for most of the 18 people who were there ---- we won't be back. It used to be my favorite restaurant in Jonesborough. I will no longer be there, nor recommend it. Our minister was part of our dinner party, and now he has a new sermon to work on.... Bad customer service and how not to let it escalate. We were never told any of the waitstaff's names. So I don't know who to tell you was a great waitress. On our way out to pay, the girls at the register were frustrated but friendly. When we got home, we realized that while we had paid for our almost $400.00 meal, we received receipts for two take-out orders. I hope those customers got their food for free, as when they arrived, there was no receipt for them.

She said it wouldn't be a problem and put our name on the waitlist. We headed in to sit at the bar and we were promptly greeted by 2 bartenders. As we waited for the others to arrive, we both got a drink. Within 10 minutes the others showed up and our table was ready. Cam, who was one of the bartenders, waited on us. She was phenomenal. Great service from beginning to end. Daisy set up a spot for us and everything was excellent. The restaurant and bar area were both clean and comfortable and all of us enjoyed our meals and drinks.
