hi everybody! I'm Alessandra Altruda. I live in Naples (italy) and I'm very happy to see this beautiful restaurant with my name!Many compliments!!!

Everything about Altruda's is WONDERFUL!! The salad, the bread....My favorite place to dine!

I will have to say each and everytime I have visited your restaurant I have had nothing but the best experience from the time we get seated until the time we leave. All your staff is very friendly and goes way beyond my expectations. Dan Tribbey is always there when I visit so I always have to say hello to him and give him a hug. He's an amazing man with such a great personality and the rest of your staff is amazing as well. I will have to say Altruda's is by far my favorite restaurant to eat at and I personally have to rate it the #1 restaurant in Knoxville. I was there last night with my hubby, mom, dad, and my sister for my sister's 25th birthday. We started off with the salad and garlic rolls with each a refill on the salad and the rolls - YUMMY!!!!We all had spaghetti some with mushrooms, meat sauce and marinara sauce with dessert to top it off. I left there with left overs for today for lunch. So please keep up the fantastic job you all do. Oh and we just booked our company's Christmas party last night for this year. Of course I will be back many a times before then. ~ Kristy Coley ~

Best Italian food, second only to Italy, and even there some dishes are not as good as the ones at Altrudas, in Knoxville. Paul and his family have the best atmosphere for that romantic evening alone together, or even the entire family. The service and food are SECOND TO NONE...in Knoxville.

I came to eat at Altruda's the other night with my wife. I wanted to show her a great evening. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal. The service was exceptional but the food... WOW! I think you all at Altruda's have got it right! Keep up the good work and thank you again for a wonderful experience! David
