I still haven't tried the one in Sylva (heard good things), and I think I'll pass on the one in Bryson City. As for this joint, the outdoor dining area is supreme. Well, maybe it was just supreme on that day thanks to the weather. I was on my way to poker (it went well again thanks to me designing and applying TNP a year ago), and I wanted to get some good calories under my belt since tourney poker players don't eat much for 7-10 days when WSOPC is in town. I definitely got the calories! The Chicken Parm and pasta portion here is HUGE! The salad is also the best salad of the four Italian restaurants I have tried in the area. For bread, the garlic knots were very high quality, and if you like garlic knots, you will love it. But in the bread category for me, Frankie's wins with ease, simply because it's a large portion of traditional Italian bread with butter. I love butter. In fact, it's one of my favorite things in life. Sometimes when I'm driving and I glance at my rearview mirror, it looks like a stick of butter, especially during sunrise. For Chicken Parm, I have Frankie's and Bizzaro's tied for the lead over Vale and Bocelli's. But all four are good! For pasta, Bocelli's is in last. For some reason, that sauce works well with the Chicken Parm but not with the linguine. I give Bizarro's the nod for best pasta of the four. For service, all four are amazing. For value, Bizarro's. For atmosphere, Frankie's. For outdoor dining, Bocelli's. For quality red wine, Vale by a mile. Best red wine I have ever tasted! For storytelling, Vale! He will feel like a good friend within a 15 minutes. So ... for Bocelli's, solid Chicken Parm, best salad, great garlic knots, didn't love the pasta, and excellent service and outdoor dining. Definitely recommended! I need to try the pizza at all these places next round.

The food however was disappointing. My husband had the Tortellini which he said was good but not the best he's ever had. I had the Eggplant parmesan which was the worst I've ever had! I'm not sure if it wasn't cooked enough or what but there was so much breading that I couldn't taste the eggplant and it was so thick it was hard to swallow. When I scraped it off to eat the eggplant I realized the eggplant was paper thin sliced. The mozzarella slices on top were hard! The worst part was that the waitress never asked how our food was and never questioned the MOUND of breading I left on my plate at the end. Guess we were paying for ambience alone.

Down at Bryan city for annual fishing trip and we had to go back to Pasquale's. It is just as good…read morenow as it ever has been. We had a wonderful Keyonte, reserve, breadsticks and salads. I had the pasta carbonara and it was delicious. Classical made wonderful and really good prices. They do a great job at this restaurant and we make sure that every year we stop at least one time for dinner. It was worth it. The folks at the table the side of us had a calzone and I just wanna give some kudos to the restaurant that made that particular dish. If we go back again, we're getting that and splitting it between four people it was that big it was that wonderful and it smelled delicious.

Our other friend's veggie burger looked a bit odd, quite light in color, but he said it wasn't bad. - Boo and I split a large pizza, which was more than enough - half cheese, half pesto with tomatoes. Both sides were tasty and we enjoyed the thin, crispy, cracker-like crust.

My wife liked her spaghetti and meat sauce but I got the veal with the lemon sauce (Paolo's…read morePiccata? -- didn't see veal as a option on the online menu) and it wasn't good but I ate it after sending it back and received the same rubbery veal... the lemon sauce it was swimming in was also too strong. We will still go back and I'll try other things on the menu because the area is very quaint, the service was good.... and the other Italian restaurant in the area (Frankie's) has other issues (in the headlines for non-restaurant, owner related incidents).

This is my second time here. Menu varies throughout the year and always very interesting items. My…read moreonly complaint is the serving sizes. For example, I love the meatball over polenta appetizer but there is such a small amount of polenta. And for the price, it would be nice to be have a little more pasta served with the entrees. I've never gotten a doggie bag here because the portions are small and after spending over $100 for 2, it would be nice to have a little bit of leftovers. That said, food is delicious and obviously all homemade. Cocktail selection is very unique, hip and good. Service is excellent and the servers really know their stuff! Service

This was my first time at Ilda and it was really good! We started with the grilled caesar salad…read morewhich was my favorite thing! We also tried the mussels, mushroom fettuccine and a rabbit dish that I'm totally forgetting the name of. The rabbit dish was amazing but it had too much salt. The mushroom fettuccine on the other hand was lacking something, it didn't have that umami flavor to it. However, both were really good selections and you could tell that the pasta was handmade. As for the mussels they were good, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Our server was wonderful and the inside of Ilda is super cute! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends, but I think you need to make a reservation in advance. Also - give yourself some time to find parking ahead of time - they don't have a designated lot.

We ordered the Sasquatch pizza both times, no debate needed, it's just that good. Consistently excellent, exactly what we remembered from the first visit. The place has a cozy, local hangout feel to it, the kind of spot that makes you want to settle in, and they've got live music out back which adds a nice bit of energy without overwhelming the conversation at your table. Staff here are genuinely friendly, and we ended up talking with two different people, our server and one of the bartenders, who both turned out to be from Jacksonville, same as us. Small world moments like that make a place feel less like a stop on the road and more like somewhere you belong for an evening. Great value for what you get, too. This is officially a return-trip tradition for us now. Five stars, no hesitation.

For "street style" pizza, these pies weren't cheap either....Think mine was 27 bucks, plus I added extra cheese...so about 30 bucks!

Given that there was enough for 2 people (or 2 meals), it was worth it for me.
