By far the best salad and fettucine alfredo in town! You cant go wrong with the tangy Pollo Al LImone. Lightly battered chicken that is sauteed in lemon butter and white wine,.. mmmmm.. Dont forget to have the homemade tartufi (chocolate mousse), the perfect ending to a perfect meal. Did i mention the garlic rolls? If you like fresh garlic like i do then you'll be in heaven at Altruda's!

Altruda's has set the standard for fine and casual dining for my family. Salad and dressing is fresh, Entree's are prepared individally, even with specific changes, to perfection. Bread is literally fresh from the oven. The attitude of the staff is also a plus, and has been consistently so for the past 11 years that I personally know of.

This restaurant reminds me of my Italian grandmothers cooking. This is the only place I will go to get the best Italian food. The service can not be beat. I have been coming here since they opened and have also tried the new restaurant in Lenior City. The same great food and outstanding service.

My husband and I have been going to Altruda's since Jan.1989. We love it! We have moved approx 40 miles away from it and still go often! We have made a special trip to the new one in Lenoir City. It is beautiful and just as wonderful in every aspect as the West Knoxville location! Keep up the good job! Rebecca Lenear

We have been coming here once a week for the last three years. We love the old world atmospher, it's cozy and the food is great. Our favorites are the Veal and Snapper Lemon.Every meal comes with a big bowl of salad and fresh garlic rolls. We have yet to have a bad meal here.

Altruda's is by far the best Italian food in Knoxville. The service can not be beaten by anyone in town. Paul Meyer really makes you feel like part of the family. He will also prepare special items that are not even on the menu. The Shrimp Dill is the most amazing thing I have ever tasted! They also make wonderful Frozen Margaritas! Definately worth your time to go by and try it out, you will be a customer for life!

For Valentine's day I took my girlfriend to Altruda's. Though we had to wait 2 and a half hours for a table, it was well worth it. The food was amazing, and the service was the best I've found in Knoxville. The value is unrivaled in the area. I highly recommend Altruda's to anyone looking for a romantic dinner at a reasonable price.

Our favorite Italian restaurant. Family owned and operated. Food is incredible and second only to the service. Could easily leaved satisfied by eating the house salad and garlic rolls alone.
by Steve B
Sauce/gravy's were terrible. Meat and marinara gravy tastes if someone dumped an entire jar of oregano in it.
by Roger J
The best salad anywhere and rolls that you'll dream about!

Let me say that the staff and management is so accommodating and the service is impeccable! I'm on a specific diet this month and they cooked to my preferences! They're awesome!!

PROS: great atmosphere, fireplace, excellent wine, and some of the best marinara around. CON: Prices are high--the same fare can be had for much less money, and it tastes just as good.

Get the Scallops Florentine - but ask for it the oldschool way.

Calamari was decent but needs more tenticles.
by Sean S.
A romantic spot for wine and a decadent dessert after a movie.
by Elizabeth K.
The best of anything Italian and garlic!
by Brad H.
Order the House Salad. Dressing is to die for. Add a Veal Marsala with Pinot Noir or Salsiccia con Pepe with a Malbec wine. Molto Bene!
