So time to update, 10 months since our last visit here. This time our server was well, dysfunctional in his hygiene practices. His clothing, his oder. Not mention after taking our order he walked over another table and apologized for forgetting to put in there. After 18 minutes of them waiting. So not off to a great start. As we wait for our order we are taking note of obvious proof that housekeeping staff quite months ago. I recall the decor from last time and that hasn't changed. And now the food, we ordered different dishes this time around. So my beef ravioli was so far beyond salty that it was completely inedible. By far the worst dish this year. And that says alot. After 10 minutes of not touching my food and it as far away as possible from the server finally came by. Plate removed, I declined to order anything else as I no longer trust the establishment. Compared to last time, they have dropped from 4 stars to one in just 10 months. No as my wife continues to eat her overly oiled dish. Swimming in olive oil. I just sit here. 20 minutes after the plate was returned and not even a management follow up. I guess that explains the quick degrade of standards. Shame really, will now we know that this is not a repeat visit for our future.

Well here we are in Chattanooga Tennessee. Of course my adventure starts here at Tony's. On first arrival we got seated in the smallest table I have every seen. Not sure if both my drink and my plate will fit. My server was sporting his combat boots. Fitting for a finer dining experience. Menu choices are plentiful, prices also in reason for the offerings. So a traditional Lasagna. As any Italian will and should be judged by his or her Ragu. As for the decor since I have time to kill while we wait for our course to arrive. Comfortable and simplistic. No odd, outdated or unnecessary distractions on the walls. Although some light background music would be helpful in mellowing out the loud patrons seated behind me. So portions are reasonable. But plating is less finer dining and more cafeteria. However, flavors are on point. Pasta, sauce, and overall dish was delicious. As for the gluten free pasta, cooked well, sauce ( sundried tomatoes and artichoke) just fell short. Not really any flavor to it. Worth the stop, yes. Will I again, not likely but who knows. So many more great finds out there for me.
