We enjoyed an appetizer of calamari (forgot to photo), veal parmigiana with a side of pasta and sauce, and I tried the trio of chicken parmigiana, lasagna (this tasted more like eggplant parmigiana) and side pasta with sauce. Everything was delicious and we ended up,bringing most of it home,e to enjoy as another meal. I highly recommend going to The Black Olive in jonesborough TN. The only downside is sitting in a booth where the seats have bad springs. The restaurant would benefit from updating their booth seats. Otherwise it was a worthwhile visit. read more

The service and food were excellent. They really were attentive to my needs. I had the chicken parm and the serving size was quite large. If I were to complain about anything it would be that they do not provide freshly grated parmesan cheese. On a Friday night it gets quite crowded. I look forward to returning. read more

Nice Italian option: the lasagna looked amazing, but I had a full day of meetings after so I opted for the grilled chicken salad. The chicken was well seasoned and lettuce was in good condition. Dressing was creamy and there was just enough. Nice staff and fresh fast service. Would definitely go back if I was in the area. read more

Our hotel front desk recommended this Italian place to us and it was very good. We were seated right away. Our server was friendly and accommodating. We started with fried mushrooms as an appetizer... Yum! Then we both added a $2 side salad to our meals. It was simple.. Iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cuke slices, and a few red onion slices. Everything was fresh and crisp and their blue cheese dressing was creamy and delicious. I ordered the chicken Milan, substituting the fettuccini Alfredo with zoodles to lower the carb count. I appreciated having that option. They were not a bit mushy, but definitely needed salt and parmesan to enhance the taste. The chicken was tasty and the portion generous. My husband got the Olive Special with chicken parmesan, lasagne, and spaghetti. We both had way more food than we were able to eat, so it'll be another meal for us. Feels like a family-owned and operated business and I'd love to go back to try some of their other options, too. read more

Walked in and were immediately greeted and sat. The waitress was super nice and efficient. We ordered the fried mushrooms as an appetizer. They were average. The house salad was good, would have liked fresh croutons instead of packaged but they did add banana peppers for me. The calzone was 12" of deliciousness. The cheese was gooey and the marinara was flavorful. The spicy chicken was full of flavor from the beginning of the bite to the end. Definitely could taste the cayenne pepper, it definitely timely has spice. The bread with it was super fresh. The food was served hot which is an anomaly where I am from. The restaurant is a mix of casual with a flair. Definitely recommend if you are in the area read more

I go here for the Italian nachos but plenty of other dishes to choose from. My experience has normally been pretty good even in busy nights, but I guess we hit a nerve last night as my party of 5 had late lunches so we decided to go a little lighter with with some cheese knots for the table, simply the nachos as a meal for me and my elderly parents splitting the appetizer combo as a meal and then the other two light eaters choosing to split a pepperoni role. It didn't take long to notice our waitress was perturbed with our light order and sitting close to the hostess area I was able to hear the complaint. Now what she didn't know we were saving a little room for a couple of the $9 desserts and I normally tip a little more % when we don't have full meals as long as service is good. Empty drinks for most the meal. Walked away still tipping 20% but probably out of societal pressure as the service was definitely not worth a tip at all. We'll be back but may be a minute. read more

We also ordered a bottle of wine (way overpriced for what it was). The bread and the extra olive oil dip we ordered were delicious, as were the salads.Then we waited. And waited. Over an hour after finishing our salads, the entrees finally arrived. I'm patient with holiday crowds, but no place should take this long. When the food arrived, I was not impressed by the portions for a $25.99 entree, but I hoped the taste would make up for it. It didn't. There was no taste at all! It was supposed to be a champagne sauce, but it tasted like flavorless biscuit gravy with no salt--and no cheese was offered to help it out. My 'Bella Vita' plate had only about 2 bites of chicken, 3 shrimp, and a few pieces of artichoke with some sun-dried tomatoes. I get that poor planning can make a holiday meal prep a challenge, but we paid full price--over $100 for two people before tip. We won't be returning.

There is one other restaurant as well as several businesses using this parking area so there is always traffic. Handicapped parking is limited with a couple spaces near their entrance and a couple more spaces further away from the door. You'll need to look for a ramp if needed as there is not one by their entrance, but that is not their fault. Walking in for lunch, there was a sign to seat yourself. The restaurant was slightly less than half full. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. There is a low wall on the left with tables on the other side which may be a bit more private or less busy. Most of the booth seats we passed need recovering and the general decor is older and could use a freshening. There is also a small bar in rear with about six stools. There is some background music noticeable but at a low volume which did not interfere with conversation. The temperature inside was rather cool and we left our coats on during our meal. Our waitress came by within a few seconds of us sitting down. She took our drink order and brought the drinks back within a minute. We asked for a few minutes to review the menu. After about ten minutes she returned, apologizing for getting distracted with bussing tables and taking other orders. It appears the restaurant was understaffed and our waitress was performing many tasks. We ordered two appetizers and two entrees. One appetizer dip came out piping hot in about ten minutes. The Buffalo Chicken dip was very good. There is distinct Buffalo flavor without significant spiciness. The majority of the included chicken was shredded as expected but there was one very large chicken piece in the middle. This needed a fork and knife to break apart to eat. The accompanying pita-type chips were warm, crispy on the outside and little puffy inside. The remaining appetizer was delivered about five minutes later, with the two entrees about five minutes after that. The Fall special Four Cheese Bruschetta dip was good. Three of the cheeses were well mixed and the mozzarella was layered on top in the middle of the bowl. Once this cooled a bit it was difficult to use the pita chips to dip any of the mozzarella so a fork was used. The fresh basil and roasted cherry tomatoes were nice garnishes. The Johnny's Special sub was fine but not really special. There was enough meat, lettuce, and tomato to feel it was a decent value but the flavor was overall bland. The onion, mayo, and Italian dressing were minimal to non-existent, at least as far as flavor was concerned. The bread was nicely toasted with a crispness without bordering on hard. The bottom of the sandwich did get soggy by the time the first half of the sandwich was eaten but it did not fall apart. The accompanying French fries were very good, crispy outside and tender inside. The Syracuse Stuffer Calzone was another decent value with adequate ingredients to make a complete meal. The steak was decently flavorful but there was also gristle (possibly grill scrapings) included which took away from the experience. The accompanying marinara dipping sauce was underwhelming. While the recipe ideas and flavors are interesting, the execution was lacking. The kitchen had an issue with the timing of sending out the different parts of the order although the entrees did arrive at the same time. Our server was obviously good at her job but was saddled with additional tasks beyond any reasonable expectation of being able to handle while still serving the customers. The overall potential of the menu does merit another visit.

While this is in the hotel, I feel like this is a local bar or at least that's how the bartenders treat it. If you're a hotel guest you're ignored and get less service.

I sat and watched an older female guest go behind the bar, one bartender follow a Middle Aged man out of the bar and when they came back together about 15 mins later, she only talked to him and the other gentleman he was there with not making drinks for anyone but the 2 of them. I saw the bartender who took my order stop making my drink to take care of people she knew. I've had that same bartender when I stayed her before and she was unpleasant last time too, so she must night like out of towners. I wasn't overly hungry so just ordered the fried green tomatoes. They were tasty but very dry. I told her I didn't want remoulade, so got ranch instead, for an additional dollar even though I didn't get the remoulade (and I actually didn't even like their ranch). I may eat in the restaurant again if I stay at the hotel in the future. However I'll look to see who the bartenders are and if it's either of these 2 ladies, I'll probably save money and not give them my business.
