10 of the Best Restaurants in Gatlinburg TN With a View
"Best Italian Cafe & Pizzeria is another one of the most famous restaurants in Gatlinburg. A fixture of The Strip since 1976, Best Italian is revered for its New York-style pizza, giant calzones, and its irresistible garlic knots. Best Italian boasts two excellent locations on the Parkway, so you’ll never be far from their mouthwatering Italian entrees."

"A great place to go for a nice Italian dinner is Taste of Italy. Try the antipasto salad with olives, artichoke hearts, marinated mushrooms, capicola, salami and more for something light. There are several other salad entrees, plus sandwiches and subs."
"Much like its Italian region’s namesake, this Market Square staple is certainly a breadbasket of the region. Known for its House Pulled Burrata and Pollo Al Mattone, Emilia’s other must-orders include the lighter-than-air gnocchi amatriciana and steamed PEI mussels. All breads are made at their sister bakery, Paysan."
"Whether a Knoxville local or touring the city for the weekend, Emilia offers an ideal atmosphere for a romantic meal. Situated in the historic Market Square, Emilia’s kitchen specializes in cuisine inspired by Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region. Cooks prepare handmade pasta every day."
"A post shared by Emily Denise (@epicureanemily) on Nov 11, 2016 at 1:35pm PST. The bright ambiance of Emilia’s is perfect for a family dinner out. They serve all sorts of wines and cocktails."
"This budget-friendly restaurant offers a wide array of pizza flavors. Aside from their Italian dishes, they also serve all-American appetizers. Choose from different salads–from Caesar to their signature Greek salad."
"I have never had Gondolier's breadsticks and we ordered a lot of food are total was like $46 I ask to have 1 Breadstick.THE LADY SAID NO!!"
"Big Bear Pizza and Subs has all of your favorites and is one of the only restaurants that delivers in Gatlinburg!. You’ll want to try their chicken wings, which you can have in mild, Caribbean, sweet habanero, and other sauces. They serve burgers, hoagies, salads, and hot dogs."
"Big Bear Subs and Pizza is another great place to grab a slice. Their super pizza has pepperoni, ham, beef, Italian sausage, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and black olives. If you are someone who loves Hawaiian pizza, you’ll be glad to know Big Bear has not one but two!"
"James White was the founder of Knoxville, and now you can see how he would have lived by visiting his former house, known as the James White Fort. The home is the perfect place to learn all about frontier life, and you can enjoy hands on displays here like cooking, spinning, and even blacksmith workshops. There are also special holiday events here at this working life museum such as ghost tours around Halloween, so make sure to check out what is on when you are in town."
"A quintessential Appalachian waterfall, Hen Wallow spans 90 vertical feet and spills silvery currents of water over ink-dark slabs of rock. Mosses cover the nearby cliffs, and salamanders swim in the pool below the falls. (30 salamander species..."
"Hen Wallow Creek, only two feet wide at the top of the falls, fans out to 20 feet at the base. The waterfall is 90 feet high, ranking it among the tallest in the National Park.5"
"This is a great hike for novice hikers as this trail is relatively smooth, and is a gradual climb of only 605 feet over the course of the two miles to the 45-foot Mouse Creek Falls. The Big Creek Trail follows an old railroad grade, built by the Crestmont logging company in the early 1900's to haul lumber out of the mountains during the logging boom. The trail was improved by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the 1930s when it was converted for hiking use."
"Mouse Creek Falls is another recommended option for visitors who want to enjoy nature without the crowds. The trail leading to this 45-foot cascade is a moderately difficult, four-mile round-trip hike along the Big Creek Trail, which passes another smaller waterfall along the way at Midnight Hole. This trail, which was originally a route to transport logs in the early 20th century, was converted into a hiking trail in the 1930s."
"Mouse Creek Falls is a 45 foot high waterfall that tumbles over moss covered rocks. It’s a natural, scenic sight and a bench is even available for you to sit down and admire its beauty."
"We were also just a five-minute walk from Market Square, so we left our car valeted at the hotel for much of the week and explored Knoxville by foot. Dinnertime was drawing near, and there is always a wait at Stock & Barrel (and no reservations accepted); know that going in and arrive an hour (or more) before you’re ready for dinner, put your name on the list, then venture elsewhere until you receive a text that your table is ready. On this visit, we discovered Emilia, a new spot opened by Knox Mason owner Matt Gallagher that focuses on contemporary Italian from the Emilia Romanga region, and ordered a round of drinks and a round of appetizers while we waited for our call from Stock & Barrel."
"Just a block away from Market Square and diagonal to the East Tennessee History Center, it’s a great place to start the day with some caffeine and pleasant conversation with your barista. And if you like the neighborhood already, that’s greater than great since you’ll be looping back around to it later in the day."
"The lively bustle of open-air commerce at Market Square has been going strong for more than 150 years and shows no sign of slowing. Locals and out-of-towners alike still come to shop and eat and socialize just the way they always have, way back to the days when this was Knoxville's market house."
