Giardino

Went tonight for first time around 5:30pm on a Friday for date night. HIGHLY recommend doing a reservation. Got patio seating and as you can see the views don't disappoint but you wanna know about the food. Two people, no drinks (we are water people), Appetiser, two meals, dessert: $75 before tip. Our waitress Lainey was AMAZING. She was so busy but made sure to check in on the tables like a champ. They were snappy on the bread, the butter was nicely balanced and not overly salty. Also if u want more for your meal ask for it! They will oblige! Also the Cat Host Parmesan made sure to table touch like a natural, and he's super sweet! We were also told they actually took him to the vet when he got hurt by something to make sure he was ok and get him better....that's CLASS folks. Got the Bruschetta, was delicious, had some sweetness, the tomatoes aren't overly acidic and balanced it out well. Bread was crispy and on point. Pappardelle Bolognese noddles were wide and cooked well. Meat was seasoned right on point with a good balance of salt and cooked to perfection. I like sauce could have used a little more but that's more so on my preference, the noodles were sauced amazingly otherwise. The other dish Penne Tuscano was just as rich and delicious. Sauce was creamy and the chicken was moist and done amazingly. Finishing out with a Tiramisu it was just divine. Nice coffee flavor, mascarpone wasn't too sweet but enough to balance out the bitter of the coffee flavor, nice dusting of cocoa with just a little juiciness at the bottom which was on point. TLDR: Everyone was super nice, attentive, and made sure that not just us but everyone around us was well taken care of (from my perspective) is it cheap? No. Atmosphere good? Yes. Seating good? Yes. Food Good? Absolutely. Sweet cat=Win.

Omg!!!! We found this place online and decided to try for dinner and dannnngggg talk about legit Italian food!!!!! The pasta was homemade and you could tell a huge difference in flavor and texture because of it. My husband is 100% Italian and said this was some of the best he has had in years. We are still dreaming of it to this day everything tasted fire and nothing else has compared since. Wish they had more locations in other states.

This was the most wonderful experience. Food was amazing, presentation was perfect and the service was top tier. The owner was working the floor and catered to his guest. Highly recommend this for a large group of private one on one. Thanks Giardino for the best first proper date experience a couple could have.

In the words of Nike, “Just do it.” Go on a date or just treat yourself to a nice night out. The food was excellent! We had the Pappardelle bolognese and the sauce is the real deal - cooked for 7 hours and the pork tomahawk scallopini which was also delightful with a wonderful cream sauce. Wish this restaurant was in San Antonio!

Excellent meal made to order with plant based requests all met and all expectations exceeded! Not surprising considering the attentive service. The atmosphere is lovely and the menu will surely please everyone in your group, including wine connoisseurs. Absolutely welcoming to families and equally perfect for special occasions, there is plenty of seating and parking for the many regulars who frequent often and those trying the restaurant for the first time. Incredible sunset views from outside, where they have a covered seating area as well.

Absolutely loved Giardino! I got the pappardelle bolognese & my husband got the chicken Parmesan! Finished the meal with tiramisu cheesecake! My new favorite Chattanooga restaurant- will definitely be back!

Absolutely delicious food. Each of us tried a different plate and we all liked all of them. The lasagna, the bolognese pasta and the fungi pasta were spectacular. The service was great. As the appetizer, we had the flat bread and it was phenomenal. Will go back there when visiting Chattanooga next time.

Had a great anniversary dinner here. Boyfriend and I both got the chicken parm (which was heavenly) with a side of pasta. I got pappardelle bolognese for my side and it was delicious. My boyfriend got pappardelle with the rosemary cream sauce and it really lacked flavor. It wasn’t bad but wouldn’t get it again. We also got the calamari and it was good!!
