Tony’s Pasta Shop & Trattoria
In the Heart of Bluff View
Perched atop the scenic bluffs overlooking the Tennessee River, Bluff View’s beloved Italian restaurant offers more than just a meal, it’s a journey to the heart of old Italy. Locally owned and operated, this charming eatery has become a cornerstone of downtown Chattanooga’s vibrant culinary scene.
From the moment you step through its doors, you’re greeted by scents that feel like coming home. The décor, with its rustic wood beams captures the warmth of a classic trattoria tucked away on a cobblestone street in Tuscany.
The Magic & The Menu
Much of the magic at Tony’s begins just steps away, in the restaurant’s own herb garden, where basil, rosemary, and oregano are picked fresh daily to flavor the dishes. The menu is both comforting and authentic, offering handmade pastas, and rustic breads baked fresh from the neighboring Bluff View Bakery. Every dish tells a story of tradition and community, crafted with care and local ingredients.
Two Outdoor Spaces
Guests can choose from two beautiful outdoor dining spaces, a cozy patio at the restaurant’s entrance, perfect for people-watching and soaking in the charm of the district, or the upstairs terrace overlooking the Tennessee River, where sunsets pair perfectly with a glass of Chianti.
Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely lunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving a taste of Italy, Tony’s Pasta Shop & Trattoria offers an experience that’s as timeless as it is delicious.
The Latest Dish
As regulars at Tony’s, we always look forward to returning, and our most recent visit was no exception. We chose the upstairs terrace to take advantage of a beautiful fall evening. Our server greeted us promptly and brought out two loaves of freshly baked bread with fragrant garlic oil; a perfect start to the meal.
For our appetizer, we shared the Calamari, which was perfectly prepared – crisp and flavorful. I ordered the Seafood Ravioli, while my husband chose the Chicken Tetrazzini with red pepper alfredo sauce; both dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. As we sipped our wine, we enjoyed the view of the Tennessee River, great conversation, and the relaxed Bluff View atmosphere that makes Tony’s such a favorite of ours.
