Reviews for Giardino in Chattanooga, TN

What a wonderful experience my party had at Giardino. The lowlight conditions made the space feel intimate, the quality of the... food was outstanding, and the experience overall was fantastic. There is no dress code of which I'm aware, but seeing as this isa nice establishment I would recommend at least a nice, clean shirt and decent pants with casual shoes. I would recommendbooking in advance as this place definitely fills up quickly. The pricing is about on par for what one would expect of a qualitydining experience and the server broke down in detail several items on the menu when asked. I shall definitely return. Read more

One of the best restaurants in Chattanooga by a wide margin. Exceptional quality and attention to tradition. Normally I don?t... eat italian food in restaurants because it?s never as good as it is at home, but this place delivers in a way I?ve only had inNew York and Italy. Even down to the choice of tomato for the marinara sets this place apart. Calamari: 8/10 - aioli andmarinara are 10/10, but the squid wanted a little lemon Charc board: 10/10 - good quality meats, burrata tastes homemade, okraand beans were perfect Caesar: 6/10 - dressing is a little flat, and I prefer a little more leafy than heart Seasonal pearsalad: 10/10 she smashed it Rigatoni: 10/10 - subtle use of the gorgonzola. Doesn?t overpower, and lets the sausage shine inthe sauce. Chick parm: 10/10 because they don?t treat the chicken like a delivery vehicle for the topping. Perfectflavors. Pumpkin cheesecake: 10/10 - eats like pumpkin pie cheesecake. Best I?ve ever had. Other thoughts: Charc board camewith baked apples. They desperately need a dessert with those. Even just a plain cheesecake topped with the apples would beunbeatable. Alfredo sauce was a little flat for my tastes, but it is true to standard as a parm cream sauce. Bree was great.She took good care of us and made our night better than it already was. Read more

We went here for our anniversary yesterday and it was our first visit. I'm not going to lie, I was GIGGLING at the owner's... responses to some of the ridiculous bad reviews posted here. So I hope you guys see this and know that you have gained many goodcustomers by absolutely flaming the entitled ones. Anyways, I was very glad that they made their parking lot bigger because itis VERY popular. Very cute restaurant. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our server was John Michael and he wasabsolutely perfect. He was so friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. I'm excited about coming back to try outtheir new patio seating soon. I had the lasagna con bechamel and it was literally the best lasagna I've ever had. My husbandhad a mushroom eggplant pene dish that was also really good. 10/10. We will definitely be back.

Really good food at very reasonable prices. Dinner last night was Chicken Parmesan and Rigatoni Al Gorgonzola. Both dishes were... excellent and so was the Giardino Spritz order by my wife. Service (by Jon Michael) was really good and we especially liked hisrecommendations and opinions. I would have never ordered the Rigatoni on my own. We'll be back very soon..... Read more

Excellent. Wine list is fun and adventurous while being easy on the wallet. The marinara is, well, stunning. Chicken parm might... be the best I've had in a very long time. Jake and his team are easy going, welcoming and genuine. And very knowledgeable. Read more

We had the most amazing service the other night for my partner?s birthday. In our reservation we said there was a bday and to... please not sing? the employees were incredibly respectful and were very kind to us & our requests! Even though we sat outside(and we were the only folks out there), our waitress came around frequently to check on us and make sure we were well-taken careof. It was a fabulous evening, the food was incredible, the service was pristine. We will absolutely be back. :-) Read more

Holy moly... I have no words for how amazing Giardino was. We started with the Arrosto di Maiale which was incredible. Hands... down one of the tastiest Lobster Bisques I've had.. the perfect mix of texture, creaminess and just a pinch of sweetness on thefinish. I got the Rigatoni Gorgonzola and my friend got the Shrimp Polenta.. both were incredible and very filling. For dessert,we finished it off with tiramisu and creme brulee.. we even ordered lobster bisque to go because it was so good. 14/10recommended Read more
