Reviews for Gondolier Pizza & Steak House in Athens, TN

My wife and I visited this joke of a restaurant on Friday September 30th for dinner. We are not from the area and we do know... what real authentic Italian food is and this place most definitely is not it. My wife ordered the baked cheese ravioli and Iordered the chicken parm. Both dishes absolutely horrid. I nor my wife would have served this to even the lowest of life form.The sauce was absolutely horrendous and the chicken was way overcooked. The server we had made absolutely no attempt to try andmake things pleasant from the time we were seated until the time we left. The Manager or owner, whoever she is does not know howto deal with people or criticism of any kind. One star is way too good for this place. Your restaurant should be shut down andnever allowed to serve the swill you call food to anybody else. An honest rating for this place would be a negative 100. Youshould be ashamed for serving the nastiness you serve. Read more

It nice to know that in small town rural America you can find good Italian. The staff was friendly and attentive. Clean... environment. And great pizza. Let's not forget the amazing selection of fabulous cakes. Read more

My wife and I have eaten there twice. The menu is large. A great selection of dinners, desserts, drinks of all kinds. We are... making it a part of our Saturday for a good place to eat. We will be there this Saturday as well. Making it our third visit.Plus they also have a pizza buffet from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. I believe. Read more

The menu has a variety of meals and the food is good, but the prices have greatly increased. I asked for a bit more sauce on my... baked spaghetti, as it's a bit dry and they charged me $2.75! I know everything has increased, but that's a bit much for a spoonfull of sauce, they also charged .75 for an extra cup of dressing. Most everything has went up at least $2. They still stayfull, but it's above my budget except occasionally. I do not know if this is the same at other locations. Read more

Excellent pizza. Toppings were a good size so you knew what you were eating not like other places that chop into minuscule... pieces. Great flavor. Our waitress was super friendly and easy to get along with. We'll be back. Read more

My recent visit was outstanding. I had a USDA choice ribeye steak that was flavorful, tender and cooked to perfection. For... $3.99 the add on for the salad bar was well worth it; one of the best I?ve had with a great assortment of fresh veggies, saladsand meats. The server Keela was super helpful, polite and friendly. I enjoyed the quieter, more relaxing seating in the backright. Read more

Very authentic Italian food! They looked a little understaffed with mini tables and bust but that didn?t get in the way of them... cooking some great Italian Home cooked food! Read more

Such great food! The variety is awesome. Our family of 4 had: the Hawaiian Pizza, Philly Pizza, spaghetti, and the pork... tenderloin shish-kabob dinner. We opted for dessert, too (which we never do) and enjoyed their red velvet cake and chocolatecheesecake. The staff was lovely and the prices were great. Read more
