Cappuccino's

The wait was 2min to be seated. The food was excellent. Portions were huge. Our server Mya was very nice, knowledgeable and attentive. We started with the Arancini appetizer. My husband had chicken parmesan and I had fettuccine Alfredo with scallops. The proteins were cooked perfectly, the pasta and sauces were the best I've had in Knoxville. We would definitely return.

Our family’s search for the best Italian restaurant in Knoxville is finally over! Cappuccino’s was such an enjoyable experience from the food, to the staff, and ambiance. We had the lasagna, veal parmesan, and spaghetti with meatballs and no one left disappointed! The food was outstanding and if you go, please get the chocolate cake with fresh astrawberries for desert because it is to-die-for! Both the waitress and the manager were very friendly and went above and beyond wherever they could to make out dinning experience great. We will be returning to cappuccinos and we’re excited to try Copper Cellar, because we’re convinced it must be just as great. We’d definitely recommend them to friends and family!

This was a pretty poor experience, but not awful. Every dish our party ordered was severely under seasoned, although not fatally flawed. I think our table almost emptied the salt shaker trying to make it taste like food. Meatballs were tough, unseasoned, and a little weird in a hopefully not rotten way. For a mostly empty room, the service was ridiculously slow. Sauces and flavorings on the entrees were not appealing, but again, not criminally awful. I'll never be back, and wouldn't recommend it, but acknowledge that there may be someone out there who likes it.

We have yet to have a bad meal at Cappuccinos! The service is always great and half price wine night is amazing!

We had a pleasant time. My husband and I both got the lasagna and while the taste was great it was essentially a pound of ricotta cheese, some pasta topped with a 1/4lb of mozzarella. We couldnt eat 1/4 of it before feeling as though we were going to get sick from the dairy. The staff was very nice and offered us a new dish so we got something to share. My friend loved his dish and tiramisu! The restaurant was very clean and we will be back next time we pass through!

Absolutely loved this place. Food and wine were great. Kind staff. 1000% would go back. FOOD: I'm vegetarian, so I did the pesto dish, which had a lot of vegetables in it, and an oil base, not cream, as they do in Italy. Not overly salty. My girlfriend got a salad with grilled chicken and it was a good size unlike how some other restaurants try to skimp you on it. We came to this spot because they were open until 11PM as opposed to another Italian place we intended to check out, which we did the next day and it was a cullinary dumpster fire unlike Cappuccino's. ATMOSPHERE: Perfect. The interior has a cozy, old-school feel to it like something classy from decades ago. The Cappuccino's side of the restaurant was perfect for a romantic date. We had a booth on a raised platform area. Other dining is on floor level, where some of the chairs had faux animal which was cool. SERVICE: Super kind waitress, Daisy, served us. This establishment is lucky to have her working there. Food didn't take long. Complimentary bread with oil was awesome.

We went here at the end of a long day in Knoxville to celebrate both of our kids’ birthdays. My daughter wanted chicken Marsala, and chose Cappucino’s. Great choice! Both of us ended up getting the filet Marsala with risotto. It was delicious — perfectly cooked filet and the flavor was over the top. My husband got 2 orders of meatballs, and my son ordered chicken fettuccine. Everyone loved their meals. Service was excellent as well; my only disappointment was that I never got a refill on Coke (water was refilled multiple times.) We look forward to going back sometime when we’re in Knoxville again.

My wife thought the truffle oil in pasta was too strong, but I liked it. Baked manicotti was great. Old fashioned cocktail was nice. Atmosphere feels like a high class 1980s restaurant.

Bread for the table was great - came with an oil dip and butter. Variety of wines. We ordered the Pesto Pasta and the Cacio E'Pepe. - The portions are more than enough for leftovers to bring home - price is worth the quantity of food. - Service was attentive and well informed. - Ambiance felt fancy and cozy - we sat in the curved booth tucked in the corner.

This place was bussin, no cap . My grandughter is my all spirit, laugh out loud. Any ways, this food tickled my taste buds. I stole my daughters pizza, and i dont regret it. However, the gentlemen across from me was rather disrespectful, claiming we have a "reservation". He looked a lot like my fourth son and reminded me of him. Thanks for your quick service.

Our server Tamara was excellent. Answered all our questions, was super pleasant. Very good server. Sweet personality. The sauce wasn't anything special. But the ambiance and atmosphere made up for that. Always makes your meal better having a good server . Give her a high 5!

Went last night for the first time. Really cool, intimate atmosphere. Very old school, classy and not noisy Waitress was very professional and knowledgeable about the menu Great wine list Food was wonderful My husbands Italian so he's a tough audience in Italian restaurant He said the lasagna was almost as good as his moms Very affordable We will return‼

We hadn't been here in quite awhile, so we decided to pop in. We wanted to grab a drink at the copper cellar bar before we ate & the bar is just as impressive as we remembered. The copper is gorgeous and the combo with the dark wood just screams OG class. The hosts were friendly enough when we came in & seemed efficient. Our bartenders (Skylar & Riley) were very friendly & Skylar popped right over to take our order. She was unfamiliar with the drink I ordered (Pimms Cup), but she enthusiastically said she'd go look it up to try it make it. Unfortunately, they didn't stock Pimms, but she made me a French 75 instead. We had fun at the bar and our table was ready at the cappuccino side right on time. We started with the orange & white scallops. So good! The special was wolffish with pesto & it was fresh & clean tasting. The brussel sprouts were a standout, too. Our server was nice enough, but definitely could have been more attentive. She did not check in with us very often to make sure we were all good. We enjoyed our food & the wine and when we left, we asked ourselves why we hadn't been there in so long & decided we'd be back sooner rather than later.

Simply the best. You can't go wrong with the fish of the day. Top notch service. Cappuccino's can't be beat.

Everything was perfect from bread to dessert! Amazing prime rib delivered with impeccable service. The place itself was gorgeous and relaxing.

Very flavorful grouper. The fish was cooked to perfection. The salad and bread were fresh and tasty. The service was attentive and very friendly. The menu has many other choices that I want to try. We will be back!

Gluten free noodles were good. The waiter had great knowledge of what was gluten free which made dining in easy. Alfredo is my go to but unfortunately wasn't gluten free so I got a marinara meat sauce which was just as good. It is a more quiet restaurant and definitely on the fancier side.

Food delicious, service good. Old school atmosphere. Prime rib sandwich at lunch is an outstanding bargain,

Awesome atmosphere really good service. Food was amazing. We had fresh bread and oil, Orange and white scallops, charcuterie board, 16oz bone in pork chop, Baked seafood manicotti and the tiramisu The fresh bread with oil- it was awesome bread was fresh and oil with seasoning Orange and white scallops- they were really good I don't like scallops but I tired them and it was something I would order again. Charcuterie board- this was amazing I would recommend to anyone the cheeses were awesome but the jelly's it comes with to try are amazing 16oz bone in porn chop- also amazing and if you use the jelly's from the charcuterie board it has an even better flavor. This is 100% something I would order again. Baked seafood manicotti- I'm not big on seafood but this was something that I enjoyed. Tiramisu- amazing taste and the coffee taste was not to over powering it was perfect. Overall the service was awesome and the food was amazing.

Their website is far more attractive than this old, tired restaurant. 1. People step out to smoke on the front steps and it wafts right in to where we were seated in the restaurant. 2. The food is subaverage. Caprese basically consists of two slices of old tomato, each cut in half to create the appearance of more, What is described as fresh basil was old wilted basil. 3. Wine selection is nothing like the wine list on the website. Mainly consists of old grocery store standards like Coppola's. 4. Looking for new places to frequent, after we had ordered, staff refused to share the menu of the co-located sister restaurant Copper Cellar. Claimed that other patrons would suspect she was "illicitly" ordering off that menu in violation of their practices. Now really! That is just silly! Has anybody noticed that businesses no longer prioritize catering to customers? Seeing more and more almost haughty or imperious customer service these days. It is a sign of something not good.

After 6 1/2 hours on the road we stopped near Farragut, TN. We had been talking about having an Aperol Spritz and a Hugo. Nearest restaurant to the hotel was Cappuccino's. Road weary we stopped in. The place was perfect. We were seated right away by a friendly waitress. Hot bread and spiced oil was set on the table followed by a perfectly made Aperol Spritz and a Hugo. We each ordered an entree ... Cacio e Pepe for me and ricotta dumplings for my daughter. Everything was delicious and we had enough for lunch the next day. Highly recommend

The food was alright. I felt that it was quite average. I did enjoy the bread, however. The service was good considering there was only one server working.

Excellent food and service. Super cozy and great for a date night. Definitely will be back.

Good solid food. Nice atmosphere. Service was a tad slow but they were very busy. Would go back.

As an out of towner- would not be my first recommendation for places to eat but wasn't not horrible. The food was reasonably priced and the service was incredible!!!! Would recommend the meatballs aperol spritz and grouper!

Might look like just another suburban Italian grill, but here we have an excellent restaurant with exceptional service. Had a lovely ceaser salad, bread, and my company had spaghetti and meatballs! 10/10

My cousins and I came here for a post-Christmas dinner celebration. We didn't make a reservation but were able to get a table for 4 easily. They have a happy hour menu so be sure to try it out. We ended up getting a bottle of wine and it was good. The appetizers were delicious and reasonably priced. They have a good selection of food and pasta. I got the veal cappuccino with sweet potato risotto and it was really good. Would definitely come back again.

Service is good. Table bread is good. The rest is consistently bad. I had the lasagna with bolognese sauce which was supposed to a popular menu item. But it was so gross. It came out watery, flavorless and the noodles were undercooked. And it was huge. A huge plate of yuck. My dinner date ordered a prime rib sandwich and we were horrified at the slice of fat that was served in the sandwich. There was like 15 ounces of fat and 1 ounce of beef in the cut of meat. Who runs the kitchen, man? I would be embarrassed to serve this in a sandwich. It's too bad. The interior is gorgeous. And the wine isn't half bad. No way I'll come back. I'm not paying for bad food again.

Cappuccino's Restaurant of Knoxville has the best signature dessert menu. I'm a huge fan of their Lemon Mascarpone Cream Cake with balsamic blueberry sauce. The chef at Cappuccino's specializes in creating the perfect dessert for taste and texture.

Cappuccinos / Copper Cellar is a classic in Knoxville. This restaurant is unique because it really is two restaurants in one. One side is Copper Cellar and one is Cappuccinos. You can order from the menu of either restaurant regardless of which side you choose to visit. Anyway, they've been around for probably 40 years now. So, like me, you may wonder if it's still relevant today. Are they past their prime or still good as ever? Well, in my experience, I like Cappuccinos. They have seasonal menus that rotate the various options. Also, they've kept up with trends, the restaurant interior is really beautiful and modern, and they have great options. That said, I usually don't order pasta when I go out. So, even at an Italian place like this, I typically order one of the other options. In this case, I ordered the pork chop topped with cooked peaches and goat cheese. Also, I had the watermelon radish salad (oddly, it's not a watermelon & radish; but radish variety called watermelon radish). My wife had the roasted pear and goat cheese salad. Everything was great. Service was excellent. I'd recommend Cappuccinos for dates, family gatherings, or business meetings. It's a step above the chain restaurants but not as fancy as formal options that require a coat and tie. Probably not the best option for small kids -- but not many $20-30/entree restaurants will be. Finally, they have gluten-free pasta and other options for people with allergies. Overall: Recommended.

Food was delicious. My lemon martini was tart and slightly sweet. Exactly what I wanted. The waitress was very helpful in giving us advice on what to order and what drink to pair our food with. Nice, quiet place and cozy atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

I ordered from The copper cellar menu and my wife ordered the wild mushroom ravioli from cappuccinos. My steak was perfect and her ravioli was so unique but delicious! Connor was an awesome server to make everything even better!

I went to Cappuccino's for date night and it was a great time. The decor was beautiful and the food was great.

This place has a wonderful atmosphere and the staff is very attentive. I would like to give 5 stars, but my fettuccini alfredo was a bit bland. However, my husband had nothing but good things to say about the wild mushroom ravioli. If you're looking for Italian food in Knoxville, be sure to stop here!

Old favorite place with updated decor and menu. The scallop appetizer with and orange Tuscan glacé was delicious and with 6 scallops enough to share. Followed by the roasted beet salad. Then wild mushroom ravioli with a slightly sweet creamy sauce. Very nice!

The interior is so funny to me, it feels very spaghetti western (Italian restaurant with cow hide decor) However, it's charming and the food is absolutely delicious. I have enjoyed the mushroom ravioli, a dish with filet, lasagna, arancini, and another dish I don't remember. Great date night restaurant at decent prices.

Excellent! Tonight I tried this place for the first time to celebrate my birthday and was blown away. I can't believe I've lived in Knoxville my whole life and haven't eaten here until tonight. Everything we ordered was very well prepared and fresh, even down to the bread! The portion sizes are large and we all finished our meals with plenty to take home for leftovers. I especially enjoyed my dish, the lobster carbonara. The pasta was wonderfully cooked and full of delicious chunks of lobster. I will definitely visit again for another special occasion!

I've been here a number of times with family, and while the ambiance is very nice, the service and food (given the price) is only OK. I most recently grabbed dinner here a couple of days before Christmas (for my mother's birthday). There's plenty of parking available, which is always appreciated, and we were quickly seated upon arrival. Our server was competent but she rubbed me the wrong way somehow - nothing too serious, but just had a slightly irritating way of speaking to us. Our table bread and butter was tasty, but I didn't love my entree (a steak). I think it was something like $28, which seems pretty pricey for Knoxville. That being said, no one else seemed to have a problem with their food, so maybe I'm just being picky :) On the drink side of things, the mixed drinks we ordered were quite weak, so people were a bit disappointed by that. As mentioned above, the ambiance is cool - interesting lights and a nice interior decor. I'm sure my family will be back sometime soon, but I hope we get a different server, and I'll probably order a different (cheaper) dish :)

This place is amazing! We have tried a couple Italian spots in town and Cappuccino's beats them all, hands down. The wild mushroom ravioli is on point and is what dreams are made of. Everything we have had has been fresh and such great flavor that you can't go wrong with anything you order!

I have been looking for years for a restaurant that matched the vibe of the classic Italian restaurants of my childhood in upstate NY. Cappuccinos's delivered that nostalgia for me in every way! The decor, the music in the lounge and the food were all on point and I was transported back to the 1970s in a way that made me so very happy. Thank You Cappuccino's! I'm just sad that I don't live in the area and I won't be able to enjoy this amazing time warp every week.

The 1 star is for the gnudi bolognese & bone marrow. The service, for a half empty restaurant, was slow enough to allow naps between visits. But I'm ahead of myself. We almost walked out before ordering. I asked for the wine list & suggestion for a red blend. The server pointed to a list of 5 reds by the glass - ok, only 5??? A bottle might be good... but every thing reasonably priced (less than $100) I could get at a grocery store. I expressed my concern & was shown the actual Cappuccino wine list - not Copper Cellar. As I stated, the marrow was wonderful - probably the best part of the meal. The gnudi bolognese was 'new' to me & I enjoyed it. Now the issues - we were teased with bread, but never received any. There was NO offer of pepper for our salad. NO offer of cheese for our pasta. The final blow was the check being delivered with NO offer of dessert or even a CAPPUCCINO!!! The check was also incorrect with the appetizer and salad added to the bill without wine (to make it even). Unless you have hours to waste - don't go to Cappuccino.

The lasagne was delicious but it smells weird. Like old or moldy and dirty. I couldn't put my finger on it but it was not appetizing.

Server was so rude. Had a group of 9 people order lots of drinks and food. Toward the end the server was visibly annoyed for some reason. He shook the to go box in my face when he brought it to the table and rolled his eyes at me. Will not be coming back. Horrible service for celebrating a birthday.

In town visiting family, our cousin suggested brunch here. So glad she did. Brunch was amazing Greeted warmly, the hostess was quick to find seating for us despite being a large party without a reservation. Our attentive server, Matthew, was awesome. My water glass was never empty! He complimented our boys' behavior. The buffet begins with a choice of regular or chocolate waffles with every topping imaginable. If you enjoy eggs, there is everything from scrambled eggs, to quiche to an omelet station. A salmon lover, I was happy to see salmon and cream cheese with croissants and even as an option on the fluffy omelet made-to-order for me. There was also a carving station and several options suitable for lunch that I did not try. The desserts. Oh, the desserts. I was so full after brunch that I barely had room. But I managed to have two sticky buns. Delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and will visit again when in the area. Our nine year old asked is there one in our hometown. That compliment pretty much sums it up!

We had a really outstanding experience. Although we were one of a handful of tables, our server Eric, was extremely accommodating. The food presentation and flavor was incredible. My husband got the filet and while it was fork cutting tenderness, there was a complimentary blue cheese sauce that completed the dish!! My mushroom ravioli was out of this world. Our friend's grouper was probably the least exciting dish although the most expensive, which I didn't think was justified. But still great presentation. Top notch place, decor and meal!!!!

Ummm.... this place is SO good. 1. Definitely looks like a strip club from the outside 2. Don't grab a drink at the bar before dinner-- it's to the left when you walk in on the Copper Cellar side. The copper cellar side of the restaurant feels really sketchy. 3. The bread and olive oil (with garlic, spices, Parmesan cheese, and other things I never knew I needed in my life until now) is so good... I might have used the rest of my calorie intake for the rest of 2019 but it was worth it. 4. I had the eggplant special appetizer and the mushroom ravioli and it was absolutely one of the best meals i have had in Knoxville. 5. Our waitress seemed so genuinely happy to be there. She also brought us 3 baskets of bread = angel. My hopes really weren't that high for this place but I decided to try it and I am so glad I did. I will absolutely be back!

Everything about this was wonderful! Ambiance, service off the chart, food was delicious...extra wonderful with a beautiful presentation. Only one reason this place is not a 5. When we asked them to box up our dinner...they brought us the box and we had to box it up ourselves at the table. I hope my score is not overly harsh, but a restaurant of this caliber should take the plates to the kitchen and box it for you. Other than that I love it. And this small service piece will not keep me from going there again. I hope they look at these reviews and step it up a notch. P.S. cocktails excellent and very reasonably priced.

All of the food was good. You can order from the copper cellar side as well which was nice so that one of us could order prime rib. The only thing I would not recommend is the chicken caprese. The server tried to explain it to me which I was thankful for and should have ordered something else, but I decided not to. The dish is a traditional caprese (cold tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, balsamic) with whole filets of chicken added into the salad. I did not enjoy it because the rest of the meal quickly made the chicken cold. The eggplant Parmesan and chicken Marsala were very good.

We eat here often. Always good w great service! Their fish is fresh, well prepared and often with great sauces. Marinara meatballs are a always ordered appetizer. I think we've eaten there for over 30 yr!!! Wow I guess both restaurant and I are vintage!!!

I take great pride in attempting to write comprehensive reviews on yelp, giving both praise and criticism when it is due. Unfortunately, today it is going to be mostly criticism. Before I get into the bad, I want to start off by saying that the wait staff is wonderful. They are informational, attentive and friendly. But the food... the food was some of the blandest I've experienced. Beautiful presentation, big portions... but no flavor. I ordered the ricotta and bolognese with a salad. The salad was mediocre, but the bolognese was some of the worst I've ever tasted. And perhaps that's not even the right way to phrase it because it honestly had no taste at all. My husband had the "filet" which turned out to be more of a "second-rate over sauced sirloin" (his words). He was rather disappointed until he sampled my dish. He then decided he was the luckier of the two of us. I've tried other restaurants in this chain- like Calhouns for instance- which I'd equate to an Applebee's like taste/menu. But it's acceptable and leaves me satisfied. Sadly I cannot say the same for Cappuccino's. PS: Be warned, the heart symbol on the menu does not mean "healthy option" it means "chefs favorite." Kinda strange.

My West Knox favorite!!! Don't feel like going downtown? Check out Cappuccino's- The food and service are consistently outstanding. (The gnocchi and mushroom ravioli are my faves!) Great wine list, awesome and yummy variety, and definitely be sure to get any of their olive oil cakes for dessert!

The food and atmosphere was fantastic. We had the rice balls, lasagna woth meatsauce, meatballs and spaghetti, caprese salad. Everything was fresh and authentic. It took us 14 years to find great Italian food but at least we found it!

Lovely restaurant that you'd likely never try, simply because it's packed in with all of the businesses along Kingston Pike and might miss it. FIND IT!!! This is a duo style restaurant with the long-time standing Copper Cellar on one side (nice menu & ambiance as well) and the new redesigned Cappuccino's on the other side. Lucky for all of us, they share a bar & kitchen, so you can actually indulge in anything under the roof in one visit! Ok, Cappuccino's...brick walls, beams overhead, bottles dangle with dim lights inside, leather and cowhide chairs, intimate booths, and Italian music (like, real music, not just "when the moon hits your eye...") that transports you to somewhere else. Italy, perhaps? Then you meet your "gondolier" for the evening. The two servers we have spoken with have been accommodating, engaging, informative, and warm. There is no rush here, it's an experience...savor it. The food, get ready! My husband is completely enamored with the oysters and we both enjoyed the Caprese. I had to try the meatballs when I found out they were pork-free. They are actually 100% ground turkey. Different. Probably won't order again, but they weren't terrible. My husband would disagree and offer a stiff warning if you're considering them. As we have been twice, for entrees we have had - Quail special (he loved it!!!), Spicy Shrimp Pasta w gluten-free pasta (he also loved it!!!), Lasagna (decadent, melted in my mouth!!!), and Filet Mignon (slightly overcooked for medium, but still tasty!). Unfortunately, the only pictures I have are of 2 entrees. For dessert we have tried the gluten-free chocolate cake/tort (AMAZING!), cannoli (one of the best I've ever had!), and the lemon cake (yummy). We also met the new chef, Frank. He seems to really care about the food he/his kitchen serves and isn't looking to compete with the standard Italian chain restaurants, his vision is authentic (seen in his sauces) and yet new presentations (seen in his pairings). Bottom line...it's a pricey experience but so worth the occasional splurge. And guys, think romantic date - hold the door, pull out the chair, go for the bottle of wine, take each course one at a time, and when it comes time for dessert, don't forget the house made limoncello.

We had dinner at Cappuccino's tonight for the first time and it was a stellar experience all around! We arrived just on time for our reservation and they brought us straight to a table that had already been prepared. The service was prompt and wonderful, and the food was amazing! We could have sat there all evening and ate the bread with spiced olive oil because it was just that good. Our bill was not even as high as I expected, as the ambience of this place is spectacular and the food is delicious. The servers were all very hospitable and pleasant, and the manager was even making rounds to ensure that everyone was having a nice meal. We are already making plans to go back to Cappuccino's!

My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner this past weekend. I ordered the pasta gnudi with meat sauce. It was delicious! My husband had the seafood manicotti which he liked as well. The service was exceptional.

Food was ok service was not good Eric seamed new for a high end restaurant it seamed he was not sure of him self! When he brought the check layed it down he just walked away! Not professional at all! All though I ate here before it was good but sadly disappointed this time!

Very confusing sharing a building with copper cellar. made a reservation for cappuccinos, went to the hostess and she said we didn't have one then seated us in copper cellar. ended up switching over to the cappuccino side of the building after we figured it out. very good food and drinks.
