Roma Table Italian Kitchen

Why go: Stone hearth-baked pizzas, handmade pastas, and a full craft cocktail bar make Roma Table Italian Kitchen the most complete Italian dining destination on the Sevierville Parkway.

About Roma Table Italian Kitchen

Roma Table Italian Kitchen brought elevated Italian dining to Sevierville’s Parkway corridor in 2023, taking over the former TGI Friday’s footprint and transforming it into a chic yet comfortable trattoria-style setting. The restaurant is an original concept from the Collier Restaurant Group, a family operation with roots in Smoky Mountain hospitality stretching back to the 1960s. Three years of menu development preceded the opening, and that foundation shows across every part of the kitchen’s output.

The menu is built around three pillars: stone hearth-baked pizzas fired into 10-inch personal pies, handmade pastas shaped and sauced in-house daily, and classic Italian entrees ranging from chicken parmesan to braised short ribs. Starters, soups, salads, and a full dessert program round out a menu that works for a quick lunch or a long, leisurely dinner. The craft cocktail list is serious, with originals like the Blood Orange Margarita and the Tiramisu Martini alongside an Italian-forward wine selection and a daily happy hour from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

The dining room is approachable for families while holding up at a date-night standard. A dedicated private dining room handles larger groups and special events, and the kitchen accommodates gluten-free pasta, vegetarian, and vegan needs across much of the menu.

Getting to Roma Table Italian Kitchen

Roma Table Italian Kitchen sits at 1503 Parkway in Sevierville at the intersection of Collier Drive, across the street from Quaker Steak and Lube and a short drive from the Tanger Outlets area. Free parking is available in the on-site lot. Reservations are accepted for both general dining and the private dining room and are a smart call on peak tourist weekends.

Why Choose Roma Table Italian Kitchen

Several Italian concepts operate along the Smoky Mountain corridor, but few combine scratch pasta, stone-fired pizza, and a full cocktail program in a single kitchen. Roma Table’s range across all three, paired with a setup that handles everything from date nights to large group events, sets it apart from the standard pizza-and-pasta spots in the area.

• Handmade pasta, not dried. The kitchen shapes and sauces pasta in-house daily, which comes through noticeably in dishes like the Bucatini and Meatballs, where the thick-stranded bucatini carries the sauce in a way that boxed pasta cannot match.
• Stone hearth-baked pizza. Every 10-inch pie comes out of a hearth, producing a char and chew that sets it apart from conventional oven pizza. Options like the Fig and Prosciutto and the Mushroom Truffle give guests something well beyond a standard red-sauce pie.
• Craft cocktails and a serious wine program. Daily happy hour from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM and half-price wine bottles every Friday make this a natural stop for an after-hike drink or a full dinner with pairings.
• Reservations and private dining available. Both general reservations and a dedicated private room can be booked ahead, which matters during peak Smoky Mountain tourist season.
• Dietary flexibility built in. Gluten-free pasta, vegetarian, and vegan options are available across much of the menu without a separate limited-selection card.

Menu Favorites

The menu at Roma Table Italian Kitchen covers more ground than most Italian restaurants in the area, moving from shared starters and wood-fired pies through handmade pasta and hearty entrees to a dessert program worth saving room for.

• Provoleta. Melted provolone, mozzarella, and ricotta served in a skillet, topped with bruschetta mix and fresh basil, and accompanied by toasted bread. A shareable starter that pairs well with a glass of wine from the Italian-leaning list.
• Bucatini and Meatballs. House-made bucatini pasta topped with meatballs blended from Italian sausage, pork, veal, and beef in a rosa sauce. A house specialty that outpaces a standard spaghetti and meatballs in both texture and depth of flavor.
• Bruschetta Chicken Pasta. Herb-grilled chicken over angel hair with white wine, marinara, bruschetta, Parmesan, and balsamic glaze. A lighter pasta option with layered acidity from the tomato and balsamic.
• Fig and Prosciutto Pizza. A 10-inch stone hearth pie with fig jam, prosciutto, goat cheese, arugula, balsamic glaze, and Parmesan. One of the more distinctive options on the pizza menu for guests who want to move past the red-sauce pies.
• Short Ribs with Polenta. Braised short ribs over creamy polenta. One of the kitchen’s most requested entrees and a natural anchor for a colder-evening visit.
• Tiramisu. A house-made classic that multiple team members cite as a personal favorite, which tends to mean it gets the attention it deserves.
