Stevarino's Italian Eatery — Restaurant in South Pittsburg

I got the opportunity to visit the second location for this restaurant in South Pittsburgh, TN and meet the Owner for both restaurants the other evening. This branch is settle in a small town atmosphere where everyone knows your name but growing. Google is building facility in the area so I think with the other industries this area will start growing. The restaurant is in a old building with lots of personality to it. The other store is more upscale modern chic decor compared to this home home historic feel here. I liked the home town feel myself growing up in small towns myself. The menu's are not the same so I couldn't get any dessert gluten free but maybe in the future. The restaurant is on the main drag with narrow two traffic just like many small home towns in America. Not but for restaurants but they do have this amazing Italian/Irish pub here. I wanted to give a shoutout to my server but I forgot her name. 😬 She did a great job and made sure I didn't have any allergic reactions. The service was really good friendly, seated fast at that time and the food was delicious as the other restaurant north shore Chattanooga. I tried the pesto chicken gluten free pasta this time as well as the gluten free fettuccine Alfredo with Cajun style blend ingredients on top. It had alittle bit to it. When I came to the restaurant I had to turn around twice to find parking which I recommend going to the left of the restaurant near the post office you should find spaces. On the outside of the building it is older but gives a western home town feel. Walking in two the left you will see a very long bar with TV'S mounted to watch a game. The states Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia are flying proud in this bar. There are two separate parts of the restaurant like the other. The left is the sports bar and straight to the right is the formal dining area. The table cloths are paper again that some are written in crayon welcome which I thought was unique. In the front of the dining are you will find an old foot pedal pipe organ that still works, fireplace, and piano. You might see someone playing some tunes every now an then. I knew what I want so the menu was only scanned through. I ordered the pesto with chicken gluten free with fettuccine Alfredo with Cajun spices with a house salad and vinegarette. As you can see from the photos the food looks amazing and taste delicious. 😋 I was very satisfied with the textures, spices, and ingredients. I would highly recommend this restaurant and it's just off of hwy 24 not far in town. You will be greeted and feel the same small home town with exceptional food as I...

Visited Steavarino's on a Tuesday evening for dinner and was highly disappointed. Although we were seated almost immediately, there was trouble from the start. The service was subpar and the décor is odd, but tolerable. My table of two ordered water to start and my glass had dirt on the side and in the water itself. Seems like the dishwasher needs some maintenance, as the utensils were not much better. Another glass of water was served upon request, but I did get a weird look from the waiter. A starter of warm bread was served. Not the finest quality, but it did it's job...until I found a hair in it. I thought that perhaps it was my own hair that had fallen onto the plate, but it unfortunately upon further investigation I found that it was baked into the loaf. I regret that I did not bring this up to the waiter. If not for the hair, the bread could be immensely upgraded if it were served with Italian herbs and olive oil for dipping instead of oily margarine. Additionally, the menu is lacking significantly. It has a few classics and pizza as well as a few flaws. FOr example, it mentions that some things come with sides, but never lists what the side options are. When we asked the waiter, he said things like fries and slaw were the available sides. My table passed and ordered an entrée of spaghetti and meatballs and an entrée of the carbonara. Each were okay at best, with the price point not matching that quality of the food. The pasta was all to similar to the cheap boxed product that can be bought from the grocer and the sauce had a somewhat equivalent taste. I could have made equal, if not better, pasta at home and saved on the disappointment. If you are looking for Italian themed slightly-better-than-middle-school-cafeteria food, Stevarino's is your best bet. If you are looking for something more authentic and worthwhile, look elsewhere.

Edit: Considering that covid-19 is still a thing, none of the staff seemed to be masked or taking any other safety...
