Best Italian restaurant in Knoxville

Cade Young

I walked in and it smelled amazing. I already knew it was about to be a great meal. It surpassed my expectations and I initially didn’t even want Italian type of food! I was craving Japanese… my pregnant wifey wanted this, so I gave it a shot. Holy moly I’ll be back 🔥

Food was absolutely incredible!!! The names are so cute and funny. We had the undercover spice, pastative thinking, and the mind Grinder with parm fries. I dont think our table said a single word because the food was so good we couldn't stop eating. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was very fitting to the ... vibe. Will definitely be coming back everytime I am in Knoxville. Read More

I have been to this location twice now and have also patronized their food truck in the past. The food is always delicious! Fresh, quality ingredients. The staff is friendly and service was fast. The “Sweet Dreams are Made of Brie” is so yummy, the “six meat under” flatbread pizza was excellent, and you have to try ... the waffle fries!!!! So good! Even the Brussel sprouts were tasty! I will be back again and again! Read More

I had their food on their food truck and everything was fresh and delicious! I love that their fries have garlic, but not so much that I have to use a mint for the rest of the afternoon. We tried their Mac Daddy, which was a surprise when we ate it because it was so good but it wasn't greasy or super heavy, just light ... and cheesy. I love the original sauces that they use and especially the sauce for the Undercover Spice dish which was just enough spice for me to enjoy without any discomfort! The staff was very friendly and generous with their recommendations and service. Highly recommend! Read More

It was our first time trying Penne, the food was very good, beautifully made and prepared. We ordered chicken alfredo, a grinder sandwich, garlic waffle fries, bruschetta, and a flat bread kids pizza. All were very good! Definitely a recommend if you want a casual cafe style Italian restaurant.

I am in awe of how much flavor is packed into every bite! So so so good! Had to go back to try out their new Sunday Brunch Market and am blown away by the benedict. 10/10 highly recommend

Saw an advertisement on instagram and stopped in, well worth the hype! We got the fried ravioli, buff chicken pizza and chicken ceaser and it was all great. The honey garlic yogurt sauce was also amazing as well as the ranch. Definitely try it out.

Im always trying to find a great sandwich in Knoxville. Especially an Italian sandwich. This Italian sandwich by far is the best one I have found! Add in the delicious waffle fries and I had an enjoyable lunch yesterday. I highly recommend Penne for your Thoughts. My next visit i will definitely get some pasta to go. ... Get the fries, you will be begging for more. Read More
