Baggio's Italian Restaurant Knoxville TN

Nathan Thomas

Took my 18 year old daughter on a date night and wanted to try Baggios. First off…the place is somewhat clean and the staff and our waitress were very friendly. We sat in a booth. My seat was all duck taped up but whatever. Ordered cheese sticks and they were $7 and you could totally tell they came out of a freezer. Small and not really tasty. Then looking at the menu and prices seemed somewhat reasonable. My daughter ordered the shrimp scampi and I ordered the Baguio Special with mushrooms, chicken and small slices of sausage and tomatoes in a heavy cream sauce. They both tasted decent but you could tell everything our dishes were not fresh…you could tell they were all once frozen. Oh yeah, the dinner salad we got before hand was iceberg lettuce and small croutons. That’s it…could of been a spring mix with tomatoes, cheese, homemade croutons…but anyway. They also charge extra after your first refill of drinks. Was hoping for more of a fresh Italian experience but was a little disappointed. Oh and the breadsticks they brought to the table tasted like they came from a box and thrown in a microwave. But again…the staff made it a good experience and it was only our first time so we may try it again.

Wonderful from entry to exit. We were early (5:00PM) on. Fri evening but our server was great. Not being familiar with the menu she was very patient as we scoured our menus after she had immediately delivered our drinks and yummy warm bread sticks along with a side treat of parm dressing for dipping. So good. Our food came rather quickly but again it was early and my Alfredo was fantastic. My partner had something call Sausage Pepper Parmiggiano and it was extremely tasty according to him. Pricing was more than reasonable for the quality and quantity of our food. We both took home enough for a nice lunch. Knoxville is lucky to have a quality restaurant such as this and I will return again to support them. Reading reviews will give you a general idea but I believe every establishment should be judged by more than one event. Let's support all of our local merchants😊👍.

Fantastic Italian food! This is the best Italian I've had anywhere around central Iowa. Friendly service, nice location off the Knoxville square, & like I said before the food is fantastic.
