Geppetto's Sevierville

In a nutshell, excellent food, wonderful service, family-friendly atmosphere, and high quality ingredients. Our server, Shanna, was wonderful. Thank you, Shanna, for taking such great care of us! You can tell Shanna cares about taking care of all her tables - conscientious, but willing to take the time to get your order right and offer suggestions. Also, she took the time, even though she was super busy, to check on what kind of wine (sweet or dry) was used in their chicken marsala (sweet). We ordered fried mushrooms as an appetizer and lasagna and shrimp alfredo for our main course. The chef was gracious enough to add mushrooms and mussels to my alfredo. They did not skimp on the alfredo sauce or the mussels or . . . Well, anything! Portions were very generous and you can tell everything is made from scratch. You can taste the real, fresh ingredients. The garlic knots that came with entrées were fresh out of the oven and were so wonderful dipped in the alfredo sauce. Omg, just so amazing. Out of order here, but back to the appetizer . . . the fried mushrooms were delicious - crisp and not soggy or wet but not dry (perfect). The salads were oh so good - mozzarella cheese, very fresh tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, and purple onion (thinly sliced). Just amazing and I normally do not care for fresh onions or black olives in my salad. Shanna recommended the house balsamic vinegarette and I was not disappointed. The only thing I did not like was what I think was ranch that came with the mushrooms - it is not made in house and tasted . . . Not like ranch lol. We got desserts to-go because they looked so amazing, looking at other reviewers photos, but have not tried them yet. I will definitely be back here. The pizzas being served around us at other tables looked so yummy. This place is beautiful outside too. I love the blossoming trees and the barn exterior. Due to Covid they have switched to plastic utensils and paper cups. It made it slightly more difficult to eat and a little less elegant, but more sanitary. They also had a plastic guard up at the register and waitresses wore masks. I love the family-friendly, non-pretentious vibe here. Definitely my kind of place.
