Everything about this visit was AMAZING! Our waitress, Nicole, was the BEST! She made fantastic recommendations, and she made us feel so welcome from the moment she greeted us. Both of our meals were delicious, and so was the combo appetizer. The portions are pretty big, so make sure you bring a hungry belly and a big appetite (and ask for Nicole if you want the best service in the world!). If my husband and I ever find ourselves in that area again, we will definitely be stopping in.
We live in Knoxville and found this quaint restaurant while out and about. Nicole was our server and she was top notch; she even put up with my husband's quirky jokes and questions. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and it was difficult to narrow my pick to just one dish. We both ended up ordering Alfredo dishes we were not disappointed. Portions were big, the sauce was delicious and not heavy. We both made several "yum" comments and sounds as we ate. As I said, the portions are large, so we both ended up needing to-go boxes. Can't wait to enjoy the leftovers! Thank you Nicole for being such a wonderful server and thank you to the kitchen staff who prepared our delicious meals. If you are out and about taking in the beautiful scenery that fall offers, put this restaurant on places to visit. We will definitely be back!!!
Excellent service, food and atmosphere. The portions were over the top generous. Seasoned well beef filet tips with spaghetti, chicken Alfredo and Ravioli. We did not need to order a desert, we were so full, but why not! We ordered the Reeses Cake and it was super yummy! So yummy we brought some back home. We will come back when we are in town. Great value.
I couldn't figure out what I wanted and got the Cajun 3 meat pasta, AMAZING!!! Friendly wait staff and was greeted with friendly hostess. Small town great food great service!!!
We went to The Patio Italian Restaurant on Valentine’s Day and had a great experience! It was busy, but that did not affect our experience at all. Our server was amazing and very attentive! We ordered the pepperoni and sausage calzone and chicken fettuccine alfredo. Both were very tasty, and we didn’t wait long at all for our order. We greatly enjoyed dining at The Patio Italian Restaurant and highly recommend. Looking forward to dining here again soon!
Best Italian food we have had ever! Authentic and delicious. We were 1st time visitors and will definitely stop there again.
Great, food, service and atmosphere. Love the option to eat in open air covered patio at front entrance. Received friendly greeting and immediately taken to table. Didn't have to wait long for our order. The black peppered salmon and cajun in noodles is my favorite. Wonderful blend of flavors just right. Highly recommend. Wheelchair accessibility is very good. There is an additional separate dining area to accommodate large groups towards the back of restaurant.
We were given a gift card for The Patio and it was so good. We try to go at least once a week. The best Italian food I've ever eaten. When you go try the Ravioli Alfredo you can add spinach and bacon. Its so good my go to favorite. My husband say the pizzas are amazing. The service is great too. They have outside dining too.
