A hillside dining room with sunset views serving approachable Italian favorites—think rigatoni al gorgonzola and veal marsala. Times Free Press readers have singled out dishes here, and locals praise the warm, neighborhood feel.
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!

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.

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!!

Unfortunately, Giardino’s has ruined all other lasagnas for me, forever. A wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner. Great wine, food, service, and atmosphere. A must for visitors and locals alike!

Went for our Anniversary hoping it would be a special experience but it was not. For the price spent they did nothing special and aside from our server who was attentive and nice the front staff was terrible and the seating was not great. Food was good but not worth the price in our opinion. We went to Firebirds last year for our anniversary and had a great experience. This one paled in comparison.

Great place. We found it on our way to Nashville. A must stop. Great service. Great food and experience. A family run restaurant.
