Tutti Da Gio - Hendersonville, Tn

I'm giving this five stars because the food is great. But it must be said that this is not an enjoyable sit-down dining experience. As someone said, this is "fast casual." You line up to order, you are given a number on a stick, and the food is brought to you. If you want some parm to sprinkle on your food, good luck. If you want a little extra parm, the server might say, "More than you already have?" (As she said to us.) Bread was unimpressive. Forget getting any butter. All you get is some olive oil. As has been mentioned, they are very strict on where you sit. There were plenty of tables available when we got there. We didn't want to sit by the door since it was cold, so we sat at a 4-seater. We were made to move to a 2-seater. Funny that the other tables never filled up. You have to have a lot of nerve to make people move to another table. The carbonara is no longer made in the cheese wheel, BTW, and hasn't been for a few months, I was told. If I had to guess, there was cream used in the sauce. It was good, but cream is a no-no in traditional carbonara. And, no big deal, but guanciale is not used. They use pancetta. Could not care less because I use bacon at home, and it is great. The meat balls with my wife's dish were room temp. Surprising when compared to the perfect version of the dish to go we got at Hermitage a year or so before. We live in Chattanooga and were in town over the weekend for Thanksgiving. Our hotel was in Franklin. We drove 36 miles each way from our hotel to visit Tutti Da Gio in Hendersonville. That's 72 miles to have dinner. We would not do it again. If we ever visit TDG again (and I hope we do), we will go to Hermitage and probably get pizza, which is fantastic. Have to point out that one of the principal chefs of this business was less than friendly as he delivered food to the tables. He said they were short-staffed, which might be the reason. We were very disappointed with our visit, and I would have bet the house that it would have been perfect.

We had been wanting to try Tutti Da Gio for a while and finally made the trip! Oh my goodness! It was so worth traveling to this Restaurant! It was absolutely delicious. We are already making plans to return. The service was excellent! The food was incredible! And the Restaurant is just sweet with a laid back atmosphere. See y'all again soon!!!!

I had dinner at Tutti Da Gio and overall really enjoyed it! I ordered the gnocchi with shrimp, and it was absolutely amazing the eggplant sauce was so flavorful and delicious. Everything about that dish was perfect. We also tried the salami pizza, which wasn’t my favorite it was very thin, a bit soggy, and got cold quickly. On the bright side, the lemoncello slushy drink was incredible refreshing and perfectly balanced. I’d definitely come back, especially for the pasta and drinks!

Stopped into Tutti Da Gio in Hendersonville the other day and I’ve got to say, their pizza and calzones are spot on. The pizza came out hot with that perfect bubbly crust that’s got a nice chew but still light. You can tell the dough is made right. The sauce is fresh and not overdone, and the toppings actually taste like real ingredients, not the cheap stuff. I also tried the calzone and, wow… it’s packed full of cheese and meat, crispy on the outside, soft inside. Honestly one of the better calzones I’ve had around here. Portion size is generous too, so you don’t walk out hungry. The place itself has a good vibe — bright, clean, and comfortable. Service was quick, food came out hot, and everyone was friendly. If you’re into real Italian-style pizza and a proper calzone, this spot is worth the trip. 12/1/2025 update The Margherita pizza we got was not good. There was hardly cheese and the no tomatoes. We had this pizza in many places but they were good but here. There were no tomatoes, basil or much cheese on it. Other items ordered were fine.

We really enjoyed this place. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and it was delicious! It's cute inside and the staff was attentive and super friendly.

Exceptionally delicious food with large portions. Everything was fresh, and you could tell they use quality ingredients. Staff was friendly, and they appear to have live music on Saturdays, which was a nice touch. I would definitely go back, And I’ve already recommended Tutti Da Gio to my friends.

Great place, great service, great food. The Arancini for an appetizer was very good. The complimentary bread was excellent. My wife & I both got the spaghetti carbonara, and they do the last of the prep table side, straight from a giant wheel of parmesan. (only on Tue & Wed) The tiramisu was excellent as well. There was a live musician making the atmosphere all the better.

Tutti da Gio – A Hidden Gem Worth Finding Vibe: What a charming surprise! Tutti da Gio is tucked away in a strip mall, but don’t let that fool you—this place is a total gem. The wood-burning pizza oven is a standout feature, and the space feels cozy, welcoming, and clearly well-loved. It’s simple, homey, and full of heart. You can tell this is a true neighborhood spot, run with passion. Service: Exceptionally warm and friendly. I felt instantly at home—like I was being welcomed into someone’s family kitchen. Eats: I started with the Vulcano side salad—romaine, arugula, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, onions, Parmigiano, and a light balsamic-olive oil dressing. It may sound simple, but wow—it was so fresh and flavorful. I’d go back for this salad alone. Then came the Margherita pizza—a classic, done perfectly. The dough was spot on: chewy with just the right amount of char from that wood-fired oven. The tomato sauce was light and clean, the mozzarella creamy, and the fresh basil brought it all together. They also have a thoughtful, well-priced wine list—impressive quality for the price point. You can see the care in every detail here. Everything is made fresh—I even caught a glimpse of the team crafting pasta and dough by hand. Final verdict: Tutti da Gio is a true find. Great food, warm hospitality, and a lot of love in every bite. You have to check them out.
