Best Italian Cafe and Pizzeria is Gatlinburg's top spot for pizza, pasta and other Italian classics. They've been doing New York-style Italian since 1976. Between the classic pizzas, creamy pastas, enormous calzones and the best bloody marys, it may be challenging to choose your order...a great problem to have! When in doubt, start with the garlic knots. These legendary rolls are topped with olive oil, garlic, parmesan, romano and spices. Your mouth watering yet? 

We appreciate that the chef stays true to the classic Italian dishes, so guests can always come back to a comforting, hearty meal. Helpful tip: bring your appetite because the portions here are very generous! Make sure you save room for the homemade strawberry cheesecake. If we haven't already convinced you, come try for yourself and see if the restaurant truly lives up to its name.
