This isn’t just pasta—it’s a warm hug in a bowl. 🍝🥰 Tony’s Pasta Shop never misses. Every visit feels like comfort food made special just for you. I’m especially a fan of their tomato-based dishes, which are rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. But I also love to mix and match with a pesto or creamy sauce to get the best of both worlds. The service is consistently warm and welcoming, and my food always comes out quick without sacrificing quality. In all my visits, I’ve never had a bad experience, just plate after plate of deliciousness that keeps me coming back. If you’re looking for a spot that’s reliable, satisfying, and guaranteed to leave you happy, Tony’s is it.

A Nostalgic Return with Delicious Dividends Having grown up in Chattanooga, I hadn’t visited Tony’s Pasta since the late 90s—back when dial-up internet was still a thing and boy bands roamed the Earth. I’m happy to report: it’s not just still here, it’s still spectacular. The moment I sat down, memories came flooding back—especially of that iconic bread and oil dip. Decades later, it still holds up like a carb-filled time machine. Absolutely delicious. I ordered the grilled salmon pasta, which was flavorful and well-prepared. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes would’ve taken it from “delightful” to “chef’s kiss,” but it was still a win. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the place has clearly expanded since my last visit—growth looks good on them. Though I don’t personally imbibe, the dedicated wine counter looked like something out of a Tuscan dream—plenty there to impress the vino-inclined. And let’s talk patio: I imagine that in weather less reminiscent of Dante’s Inferno, the outdoor seating would be a slice of heaven. In short: still a gem. Still worth the trip. Highly recommend.

It was my family and I first time eating here. We were not disappointed. The service from hostess to server was tremendous, the wait time to sit wasn’t too bad, our food came out relatively fast, and tasted amazing. Compliments to the chef!

Honestly, the best part of this place was literally the bread. I loved it so much because it has pieces of garlic baked into it, which is absolutely to die for I literally took some home. We got the the crawfish, seafood pasta, I don't remember the name. It was very good. However, I personally built my pasta and did the alfredo sauce, which honestly was so good, I was really surprised very creamy cheese deliciousness and I got the spinach garlic raviolis, they were absolutely delicious. I did add the chicken honestly. It was a bit dry, I don't think it's worth the price that they market it as so I would just not get that, but the pasta itself.I would get it again. Truthfully, our waiter wasn't the best. I've been a waiter for over 10 years. I honestly don't think he really just cared just very much gave the bare minimum of serving but definitely noticed they have other servers there that know what they are doing and enjoy their job .

Planned a surprise birthday dinner party for my wife. She loves in house made pasta I selected Tony’s because they serve in house made pasta and bc of location. Happy that it was within walking distance from our hotel. They DO NOT take reservations and will only seat you if your entire party is present. We had 9 people. It was prom night so that made our wait for a table over 1 hour. I will say that there is a place to stand, have a drink and enjoy your company. About the drinks, we decided to grab a beer only to discover the beer cooler was down and the kept the beer in a cooler by the cash registers. We discovered after getting our beer that some were cold and the beer in bottles were warm. The cooler the beer was in, all the ice had melted and the beer was in ice water… so you will want to pay attention to that. Once seated our waitress named Davis was very pleasant and professional. She took care of our table of 9 very efficiently. She had a great personality and was very attentive. They serve in house made bread. Regular and bread made with garlic cloves in it. Served with a bowl of some sort of dipping sauce, I thought it was olive oil and onion but not sure. Either way it was delicious. Our entrees came out quickly and were delicious. I got the chicken parm and I will say that I was a little bit disappointed with my spaghetti, made in house, seem over cooked and stuck together in a blob. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The birthday girl got the vegetable lasagna and felt like it was under seasoned and lacked flavor. We had also ordered some fettuccine Alfredo which they thought was really good. Overall it was a good meal with great service. The atmosphere was great and we had a very good evening. Thanks for a good dining experience with the family.

This place was so good. A little hard to find, but worth it. Impressed before we even walked in, they have beautiful fragrant herbs, along with other gorgeous landscaping, planted all around the restaurant. Gorgeous architecture. Then the food, we were all impressed, even my husband who isn't a big fan of Italian, and my son who is on the spectrum and VERY picky. The pasta is hand cut and tasted fresh, not dried. Everything tasted very fresh and cooked from scratch. The bread is wonderful. Service was super friendly and relatively quick considering how busy they were.

Phenomenal place. Everything about Tony's is excellent. Thoe location and atmosphere are very inviting and bring on a calm. The service was top notch, very polite and attentive. Jaclynwas an outstanding waitress! Our meal was prepared very fast as well. The food is outstanding. The homemade bread was very good light. Fried ravioli was good, but the stars of this meal were our main dishes. The lowest country linguine and pasta carbonara were incredible. My wife went so far as to say that this was the best carbonara that she has had, and she loves Italian food. We finished everything off with the tiramisu which was also great. If we lived in Chattanooga im sure we would be back here often!

i’ve been at Tony’s several times and the food is always delicious. I really like the atmosphere because it comes off as an authentic Italian restaurant. I especially like sitting upstairs on the balcony. There’s always a nice breeze. Doesn’t matter which dish I have never had a bad dish here.

Being in the heart of the arts district the restaurant definitely commands beautiful views. The Italian style hard soda was great in both flavors. My chicken mushroom mozzarella panini was perfect. I liked how the chicken was sliced in half to get the mushrooms in the middle. The fries were so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The fresh bakery bread is wonderful.

The best marinara sauce I've ever tasted!!!! Large servings, wonder hot, crusty bread with tender garlic baked into the loaf. Sicilian salad was large and tasty. With definitely put this on the go to list! Service was excellent as well!!!

Had lunch there and ordered their build your own pizza with mozzarella. Also decided to try their cucumber salad and a glass of Sangiovese wine with our meal. Our waitress was very courteous and kind. Free homemade sourdough and garlic breads were served with dipping oil and were very tasty. However the pizza crust, that was under the tomato sauce and cheese, was a complete disaster. It looked and tasted like frozen pizza dough heated up. The crust was the same thickness all around (1/2 of "cardboard") without a typical pizza crust edge. This was definitely NOT wood fired pizza as described in a previous review. Even the waitstaff conceded that the restaurant only has a regular oven. So you may enjoy the atmosphere, friendly wait staff and probably one of their pasta dishes, but I strongly recommend staying away from the pizza.

One of my top 10 favorite meals. I love Tony's!!!! Worth the drive from Birmingham every time (and made at least 3 or 4 times a year). I haven't had anything at Tony's that I haven't liked. The bread is delicious with the olive oil and Parmesan. I switch between getting the bolognese baked in mozzarella and the fettuccine Alfredo. Both are equally delicious. The meatballs are also divine. Pasta is hand cut and you can tell, there is no better Italian restaurant out there. Bonus points for relatively easy parking and beautiful views. Highly recommend sitting on the second floor, very homey and quiet. Service is always great, there may be a wait but it is always worth it.

This is the closest flavor I have had to Italy in the US. Customer service here is excellent. My waiter took note that I ordered my meal without cheese and when he brought the oil out with cheese for the table, he brought me my own oil without it. So thoughtful! They have a gluten free menu and 3 different pasta options for gluten free (penne, spaghetti, fusseli). I ordered the gluten free bolognese with spaghetti noodles. My husband built his own with gluten free fusseli, the garlic Gorgonzola sauce and grilled chicken and bacon. We also ordered the gluten free flatbread. Seeing the pictures doesn't do it justice. I was so impressed with the gluten free flatbread. Great flavor! My father in law (not gluten free) had the house bread with garlic baked in and enjoyed his pasta dish. I wish I had eaten here earlier in my trip because I would have come back!

Awesome location. Feels like Europe on this one square block in Chattanooga. Amazing atmosphere, great for families or dates! We got here at 6:30 on a Friday and waited about 45 minutes for a table. Didn't mind waiting, though. It smelled so good in there and we were pumped about that table bread. I'm a garlic-lover, so the garlic bread was my MO. I don't know if they take reservations, but if they do make one!!! Worth it

Monday 11/04/2024 1:45 pm Party of 2 Tony's Pasta Shop Set inside the art district and just a block away from the museum, this restaurant is tucked away from the street and surrounded by local art. It was late so we really didn't have to wait. There may have been 5 other tables enjoying the outdoor dining spaces. Along with the birds that didn't mind helping themselves to any bread left out. I ordered the calamari with a Caesar salad. $6 & $12. Aunt got the house salad and fried ravioli. Same prices. Everything was great. Service was promp. Our orders were accurate. In my humble opinion: 4 stars

My wife's side of the family has real Italian roots, and she grew up with some authentic Italian food. She loved this place. I did as well. The bread, pasta, meatball--all tasted fresh/homemade from scratch. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck when it comes to portion sizes too. Staff was kind and welcoming. Great atmosphere in downtown Chattanooga.

I have been so excited to try this restaurant! I'm a huge Italian fan! We came to Chattanooga a few summers ago and when we got there the wait was just too long for us. But! I knew I would try back on another visit, because I've heard good things. I brought my daughter in early this go around, anticipating we would wait (no reservations or call aheads, which is fine!) Before I say anything else, I have to say that the host stand is amazing! They truly run the show. And so does the team serving wine or appetizers while people wait. I watched them our entire time and they were awesome with everyone. Once we were sat, our server was kind and ,after I asked, gave us a few suggestions. Our server asked for our order with entrees and appetizers at the same time. We ordered one appetizer and a cup of soup...but we also were served bread at the table. I wish we'd spaced out ordering our entrees because we'd barely started our appetizers before our entrees came...we were at a small table so we really couldn't fit everything. The server hadn't checked back to see about clearing a few plates that could have been removed before bringing our dishes. The server apologized about the spacing...but, as a former server, I could tell some extra training to help with pacing would have helped the server out so much. The food was good, but I think it was likely rushed in preparation because of the crowd, which led to some things (like our calamari) tasting a little dry. I did a taste of their Alfredo sauce tho, and I'll try a white sauce based dish next time, because it was delicious! My daughter is young and she LOVED her meal. Definitely kid friendly, as long as you get there before a large dinner rush. The atmosphere is gorgeous. We will definitely come again on future trips. I know now how to space out my ordering...but, hopefully service training can improve to assist with the experience. I've had several friends tell me they always go when they visit...so, I'll come back and give another dish a try as well!

We have been on the hunt for a great Italian spot since moving to Chattanooga. I knew when they brought out the warm, fluffy bread it would be good! I got a glass (or two) of pinot grigio and the seafood ravioli. My fiancé had the baked penne. Both were absolutely fantastic, but what got that fifth star was Chesarae's (sp?) service. She was so sweet and attentive! We will 1000% be back, as I've already sent pictures to my family back home with the caption, "we are taking you here!!!!!!!" The garden patio was cute, but next time we'll ask for the upstairs patio. Great stuff!

Tony's was the perfect balance of quaint and upscale! I am a big fan of Italian food and can safely say Tony's is one of the greats considering their food, prices, and atmosphere. No notes or complaints, service was awesome, the food tasted amazing, and the location is so adorable. It was super busy (and rightfully so) so make sure you come early and be prepared to wait a little if you come at peak hours. Will definitely be coming back!

Popular Italian restaurant in the Bluff View Arts District. Walkable from the Hunter Museum. Yelp said they opened at noon but hours actually start at 11:00AM. Plenty of seating indoors and outside. Staff is efficient and friendly. I ordered a Panini and Coffee but the menu has lots of homemade pasta items. I plan on returning for dinner. Family friendly.

Salmon medallion (appetizer) is tasty. Calamari is crispy and not oily. I enjoyed my salmon pasta entree (split half & sharing with my younger son). We were seated outside on 2nd floor terrace. Ambiance is enjoyable and memorable.

I've heard great things about this place for years and have always wanted to go, so my friends and I made plans to have dinner here. And after my experience here I will recommend this place to everyone. We walked in and were told that wait time would be from an hour to an hour and 30 minutes (party of 6). We walked around the area and it took about an hour and 40 minutes to get seated. The garlic bread + oil & cheese dip were amazing. The bread had wonderful pieces of garlic that were soft and kind of caramelized into the bread. Also the bread pieces were large, soft, and had a great garlic flavor. It was absolutely delicious. There were so many good things on the menu, but I ordered the Chicken Tetrazzini. It was lovely. Once I took a bite of my entree, I knew I made a great choice. It was perfectly salted and very rich in flavor. It was creamy, cheesy, and the grilled chicken was good. There were so many components done so well in my dish. At first glance, the plate my food was served in looked small but the portion size was large. I loved that I had leftovers and extra garlic bread! Wait time was pretty long, but we had a wonderful view on the rooftop during sunset and we all had a great time. I look forward to coming back here again. This place is now a favorite of mine :)

Incredible food, top notch service, and inviting atmosphere. We heard of this from our kids and they were absolutely right about it! Starting off with the best fried cheese ravioli that I have ever had and adding to it with some excellent breads made our mouths water for the main courses. Again, they did not disappoint. My black pepper linguine with bolognese sauce and Italian sausage hit all the high notes of the flavor scale. My wife utterly enjoyed the Cheese ravioli with chicken which carried a more subtle but no-less pleasing experience. High praise for Tony's, if you visit Chattanooga add it to the top of your list!

This has become by far one of my favorite Italian restaurants ever! They had ample gluten free options and everything was absolutely delicious! Table ordered the GF bread service, ravioli (not GF ) stuffed collared greens (GF and delicious) and the GF caccio e peppe. Everything was incredible, truly a memorable meal. I wish they had different gluten free noodles as I feel we've come too far to still be relegated to penne but otherwise everything was amazing.

Worth the wait. The homemade pasta is delicious. Their homemade sausage is fabulous. The tiramisu was good and our service was wonderful. The inside is a bit tired looking. Doesn't match the food and pricing. They need new tables and chairs. A refresh and elevate the space a bit. I'd go back though!

So good we had to go back. Visited the area earlier this year and couldn't wait for a return visit to sample the fare again. Our server Prashant delivered our food with precision, splitting generous portions and attending to our needs. Our main meal was a repeat of our last visit with build your own pasta and chicken, wine and beer. The homemade bread is delicious! This visit we opted for the Italian Cream Cake which was fantastic. When a restaurant can repeat a good experience it's worth their weight in gold. The popularity is well deserved and appreciated. I'm sure we'll return when in town again. Thank you Tony's and staff for delivering an awesome dining experience.

We came here while in town and the restaurant had a mix of ups and downs. For the positives - the food was good. Not outstanding, but really good and large portions. We started with the complementary bread. It was delicious but watch out for the whole cloves of garlic baked in (if that's not your cup of tea). Next we had a garden salad, standard. For entrees the table tried a mix of pastas and pizza. The baked chicken pesto ravioli was a hit with the table, but it was a little too heavy for my taste. The pizza was just ok. Now for the not-so-good. The restaurant felt dirty. We were seated on the upstairs patio, and on the walk up, it smelled like mildew and cleaning supplies. There was a huge stack of dirty dishes by the patio door, and several tables hadn't been cleared. The service was also spotty. The worst part was when the server brought the bread and was spilling oil on the walk to the table and he dripped oil on me and my purse. It might have just been an off night, because I know people love this place.

Visiting Tony's is like stepping into Little Italy. We had tickets to see a show downtown this night, but arrived early enough for dinner to beat the crowd. I would recommend arriving early, because by the time we left, there was a line out the door. We arrived around 5:30 on a Thursday and were able to get in, be seated immediately, and had a pretty view of the garden from the inside dining room. The Bluff View Art District is a beautiful neighborhood complete with European-style restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and art gardens. The streets between the historic building are cobblestone--overlooking the Tennessee River. We had never been before, but the service was fantastic. The server was friendly and helpful. Each table is given fresh bread that is made next door daily at the Bluff View Bakery. I decided to make my own pasta with my choices being fettuccine with alfredo and grilled chicken. Since we were in a bit of a time crunch, we informed our waitress. She told us our dishes would arrive the quickest on the menu-- and they did! We were able to eat in no time at all. The food came out in LARGE portions and was warm, fresh, and delicious. We could have taken leftovers for a whole other meal. Before we left, we took a stroll down the hill to visit the River Gallery Sculpture Garden. The restaurant sits on a hill that overlooks this park. Filled with unique sculptures (some for sale and some not), this park lies along the Tennessee River and allows for great views of the entire district. Overall, this is such a unique restaurant to find in Chattanooga. The entire neighborhood has so much character from the buildings, streets, art, and food! You must visit Tony's when in Chattanooga for great, authentic Italian dishes.

We waited for an outside table. We have 2 small well-behaved morkies. After 2 glasses of wine, we checked back in and found our request for outdoor seating was lost. We waited a bit more and we were seated outside. There we waited and waited and waited... nearly 20 minutes before we asked where our wait staff was? We were told they thought we had been waited on. No worries! Our waitress took the order bottled of Italian sauvignon blanc, Ceasar salad, chicken piccatta (lemon caper butter sauce - staple in Italian cuisine) and hand made spinach ravioli. The food came out quickly starting with homemade bread and the Ceasar salad. It was delicious. They use pecorini instead of parmasean and it was good. The ravioli was very tasty. The chicken piccata was a diaster though. Chicken fillets were not cooked properly and the lemon caper sauce was a clumpy, custardy mess! Skip that ... the desserts divine! Spumoni was dried cherries on top and tiramisu to die for!

What a place! Italian food ohh so yummy! Plus the Spamoni was delicious! We were seated on the second floor outdoor area. Love sitting outside and especially here. Nice view! The waiter was on point, and even though he was extremely busy, he remembered what we said. He gets extra points for that.

I have found Tony's to be hit or miss in the past - but last night we thoroughly enjoyed our experience last night! My children had Penne with Alfredo and Chicken (make your own), Chicken Picatta and I ordered the Black Pepper Linguine with Pesto Cream & Mushrooms (also make your own). Service was delightful and the location and atmosphere of Tony's is always a win!

When a tour guide heard we liked Italian food, they said we had to check out Tony's, and called it "Chattanooga's best pasta spot, bar none". With such a hearty stamp of approval, we made sure to pay them a visit this afternoon and found our guide's appraisal to be entirely correct. Inside, the restaurant is somehow spacious yet cozy. My husband and I were seated by a window with a delightful garden view and remarked how much this felt like a romantic date. If the vibe wasn't already happy, the arrival of our generously sized bread certainly made things joyful. The bread at Tony's has softened cloves of garlic hidden in its soft pockets, and it's served with a dish of olive oil that has shreds of parmesan swimming in it - game changer! We ordered a fried calamari to start, which was delightful - crispy, well seasoned, and a good mixture of both rings and leg pieces. My husband seemed to enjoy his Caesar salad with chicken just fine, but the true star of the show was my bowl of pasta. I ordered the angel hair with bolognese, which turned out to be a massively generous serving. The sauce, too, was a meaty delight, with a spicy kick that made me think it had some sausage hidden in it. Either way, it was so delicious that I unashamedly asked for a to-go container for the few spoonfuls left in my bowl. A few things to note - - The restaurant is nestled in the very center of the Bluff Arts collective. It took us a few wrong turns before we could find it. Walk down the driveway adjacent to Rembrandt's Coffee House and you'll see it at the end of the road. - There are a few parking spaces adjacent to the restaurant, but those are snatched up quickly, especially on weekends. That said, there's usually plenty of free street parking in the area. - No reservations. Seating is first come, first served, so be prepared to wait. We arrived as soon as they opened and found tables around us filling up quickly. That said, there's ample dining both indoors and outdoors, so that hopefully helps with wait times.

Tony's is and will always be a favorite!! My husband and I first went here when we were dating back in college...fast forward about 10 years, and we're back in Chattanooga, still enjoying Tony's Pasta! The service here is always friendly and quick, and the ambiance is the most wholesome, beautiful vibe, especially when you sit on the rooftop overlooking the river! Of course the food is always so delicious, too! The bread here is FRESHly baked by the bakery down the hill and the pasta dishes - especially the baked dishes are my absolute favorite. I'll forever recommend Tony's to anyone visiting Chattanooga!

Starting with the ambience, Tony's and the rest of Bluff View have amazing views of the river in a picturesque setting. Unfortunately, this is let down by poor parking availability, a lack of signage, and some unfortunately unkempt plants crowding paths. Service was outstanding, always available but not overbearing. Responsive to our questions and concerns, things seemed to be going well until we got our food. The food is absolutely subpar for the price point, reputation, and setting. I was served sauce from a cheap bottle (if any one on staff owns making the Bolognese, you embarrass yourself for thinking this resembles Italian) over bought in ravioli. Again, for the price, the ravioli was intolerably tasteless and tough. A first bright note came from the tomato basil sauce on another dish at our table. This tasted fresh and vibrant, but it was paired with a pathetically small amount of chicken for the up charge. This is the sort of place that charges an up charge for any change and even when you are willing to pay it, the result is far from optimal. I'd go back, but only if I had to be in Bluff View for another event. Not worth the drive or the effort.

Ambience was good. Starter was good (calamari). Service started good, but the waiter disappeared as soon as he got another table, then was gone for over 25 minutes. We sat with finished plates for over 10 minutes. The biggest dissatisfaction was the Chicken Piccata served with Polenta - it was an inedible paste, not a polenta or sauce.

I came here for my birthday and loved it. My friends and I loved the food and bread. I really enjoyed the bruschetta appetizer. Our waiter was attentive despite the busy hour. The restaurant was a little crowded in terms of space but would definitely go back for the food.

Visited Tony's pasta shop during my first semester here at UTC! It is by far the best Italian cuisine I have ever come across here in town! Service was amazing and it was a very fancy environment and very formal! We'll be going back

We enjoyed the calamari for an appetizer which was a small portion but delicious. My husband had the Low Countsy Pasta and I have the baked chicken ravioli with pesto....both were amazing! The bread is also fabulous!

The food was okay and portion wasn't much. I had the chicken piccata, there were only two small thin slices of chicken. They have a lot of bread though for the table. Service was good. Parking can be hard to find during busy time.

This place was highly recommended by everyone that worked at The Edwin Hotel as a Chattanooga staple. It was a short convenient walk from the hotel so we decided to check it out for dinner. They are known for making their pastas from scratch. There was a 15-20 minute wait to be seated on a Tuesday night, which is to be expected for such a popular spot. Frankly, this place was not really my vibe but more for families with kids and those who don't necessarily care for healthier options on the menu. Tried the Calamari appetizer, which was okay. Ordered the Chicken Piccata, which was also okay. If you are in the mood for something heavy that's also a good value for the amount of food you get, this would be an appropriate spot.

While the service was great, the food left us disappointed, dissatisfied and disillusioned. The "tomato sauce" on the kids spaghetti with chicken was thick and pasty. Ragú maybe be better, but I wouldn't know because I would never use it in my kitchen. Their Fusilli dish had huge chunks of cheap chicken and it the sauce WAS NOT Alfredo. Their Grilled Chicken salad was served with COLD cheap chicken. Anyhow, if you don't appreciate QUALITY of food and it's all the same to you, by all means eat here!

Stopped in Chattanooga on our way to Nashville. We were pleased to discover Tony's in this adorable art district. The fantastic fries were a precourser to the eggplant parm sandwich served on incredible bread. The black pepper linguine with crawfish, tomatoes and mushrooms in a light Cajun alfredo sauce was sublime. Will definately plan to make this stop again!

A Chattanooga local gem! Wonderful handmade pastas. The staff are friendly and gracious. Enjoy either the patio or roof top seating!
