Excellent food and great view of the city. They take pride in their food. Worth the short drive up Missionary Ridge for a wonderful meal.

Definitely get reservations! Food was outstanding as was the wait staff. Kind of wondering why it took me so long to have dinner here.

I live in South FL but when I visit my family in Chatt, this place is a must have for us. Great food and service in a very relaxed atmosphere.

I had the Veal Milanese and my wife had the chicken Alfredo, my daughter had the spaghetti. All were delicious. The veal was a little more sweet than I would like, but so good. The atmosphere was so quaint and homey, and the staff was excellent and friendly. The view is amazing. And the prices aren't atrocious.Kid-friendliness: My daughter got a kid's spaghetti.

We dined here for a special occasion, a birthday, and chose them because we could make a reservation. We had no recommendations to go by. The restaurant was pretty full, which indicated the food must be good. (Parking was not adequate for the amount of business they have.) Service was fairly prompt and our waiter was pleasant. I asked what he recommended, and his answer was knowledgeable and helpful. I chose the salmon, one of his recommendations, and noodles with a cream sauce as a side. The served bread and dipping oil for a starter, and it was good. Our food arrived hot and cooked just right. We all agreed it was delicious! I think my salmon was the best I've ever eaten! The noodles were obviously made in-house, and were delicious also, as well as the sauce. My new favorite Chattanooga restaurant!

Good pasta, I would recommend trying the spaghetti and meatballs! I also really enjoyed the fried calamari
Food is good but apparently you only have 2 hours to have dinner and socialize with your friends over dinner before being asked to leave or move tables because they have more important people coming in that need your table. Message received. Paying customers don’t matter when staff think your time is up.I left feeling very embarrassed that I had recommended this place to my friends who were then asked to move so that they could accommodate others.

We love Giardino's. The food is always delicious, the drinks are tasty, and the service is great! Great date night spot!
My husband and I finally got to try Giardino a few weeks ago and we were loved it. We sat on the patio and enjoyed a great sunset view. We had the half meat and cheese to start and it was a beautiful presentation and array of flavors. We shared a Caesar salad and it was tasty. For our entree, we ordered the penne toscana spaghetti and meatballs. Both were truly delicious and generous portions. We had the blueberry cheesecake for dessert. It was good but didn't stand out flavor wise after being blown away by the rest of our meal. One of the employees (the sommelier?) came by toward the end of our meal and asked us about our wines. He ended up doing a blind taste test of an Italian vs. California can. He was super nice, informative, and fun to talk to and made our visit even more memorable. We can't wait to return!

This was my time to Giardino’s. The food was phenomenal! The view of Chattanooga was breathtaking. I highly recommend the patio area. Heated with soft and relaxing lighting. The staff was spot on and super friendly. Food was freshly prepared and presentation had a true Italian appearance. I would say anything on the menu is worth indulging in. I will definitely be a local to this place. Reservations are required, you will not be disappointed!!

We love this place. The ambiance, the food, the drinks, the friendliness, the affordable pricing. Nothing negative. The owners treat each customer as a regular and seem very grateful that you are a patron. It is also a plus to see the owners of a business taking a hands-on role in their business.
