At long last, my friends and I finally made a reservation for dinner at Ristorante Della Santina. This restaurant has been open for a while so I was excited when it was time to go. The dinner at Ristorante Della Santina made for a nice summer evening—Italian style!
The restaurant is located at 2004 Red Bank Rd. so it was only minutes away from our meeting point.
We made a reservation for 6:00 on a Thursday evening because we heard that it can be busy on the weekends. This worked out well because we were seated immediately at a table of our choice.
My friends and I do appreciate a nice tablecloth for a dining experience.
The restaurant offers pasta, seafood, chicken, and other specialities. We decided on our entrees: lasagna and eggplant parmigiana. Spaghetti is always my second choice, but the lasagna was the entree for this first dinner at Della Santina.
We loved the fresh Cesar salad and homemade dressing. Delightful starter.
Anita’s eggplant parmigiana was excellent. I am looking at this picture and want some now.
This picture may not capture the height of the lasagna, but it was a generous portion. Leftovers later!
It is hard to find Spumoni so I had to order it. Spumoni is an Italian milk sherbet with 3 flavors: cherry, pistachio, and chocolate. Ristorante Della Santina serves Spumoni covered in a chocolate shell. Divine!
Always be sure to order Spumoni if you can find it!
Don’t you appreciate a nice to-go container? This is a good one.
We enjoyed our dinner at Ristorante Della Santina very much and plan to return soon to celebrate Elaine’s birthday. I would say that is the nicest Italian restaurant in Sevier County and a good destination for a special dinner. A little more than 5 miles from downtown, it is worth the drive through Dolly Parton Parkway to get your taste of Italy.
Buon appetito!
