"Service was a little slow. It was Valentine's day but it was also only 2:30 in the afternoon so it's not like they were slammed at the time. Every one liked the food they got, prices were almost reasonable but better than most places."

"It was our first time dining there and on Valentine’s Day. We both enjoyed their Delmonico (12 oz Ribeye) both were cooked to perfection. The baked potatoes were large and tender, also cooked to perfection. Our server kept regular tabs on us but was not bothersome. We will be back to try their pizza!"

"Since 3.5 isn’t an option I would lean towards a 4 star rating. Solid food. Not the best but better than a lot of food in the area. It’s “above average”. We got cheese pizza, eggplant parmigiana, fettuccine Alfredo and a cannoli. Pizza was ok. Maybe the least favorite of the dishes we got. Crust was good, cheese was decent. Fettuccine was the best thing we got. Nice ratio of vegetables. The eggplant was the weird one of the bunch. We are from philly and I grew up eating home cooked Italian meals and I have never seen eggplant parmigiana on a hamburger bun. I was actually kinda shocked when I saw it lol. It wasn’t bad but mentally I couldn’t get over it not being on a hoagie roll. Also the sauce and cheese ratio was kinda weak. More sauce and cheese would of went along way. But the eggplant it’s self was good. Came with a pickle which was also strange for eggplant parm but also I like pickles so we weren’t mad about it. Overall My wife and I agreed that the food was good enough for us to try it again. Lots of signs up about the award winning cheesecake so I will return to atleast try that!"

"Good food, service, and atmosphere! Family-friendly and excellent for large groups. We we're surprised that there's so many kinds of food to choose from on the menu (found theirs online in advance). Parking was plentiful. Our waiter was just super. There is a lunch buffet. After lunch hours, salad bar and soup is still available. Everything tasted very good. Highly recommended."

"Drove about 65 mile to eat here. Passed this place for years...big mistake! This gondolas is as good as the one in crossville. Both are absolutely wonderful. Great food,great service at a fair price. I eat out almost daily and I had previously spent over 100 on snack food at a popular restaurant in murfreesboro tn and ill never go back there again!! It wasnt hooters it was way way worse... anyway Yeah Gondolas #1 just about anywhere you go. Especially in mcminnville and crossville. Crossville Gondolas is always busy,fast and customer satisfaction a priority!!! Best restaurant in crossville, them and cracker barrel. The rest not so much..."

"I was so surprised at the quality and freshness of the food. There were 4 of us and everyone's plates were delicious. It's so hard to find good, affordable food anywhere and I'll definitely be back. They have a diverse range of food and from looking at the dessert case, I'm willing to gain 10lbs to try all of the wonderful desserts"
