Restaurant of the Week
This was a tough choice…
IL Primo takes it. I have been here multiple times and it never lets me down. The food is bomb and the service is top-notch. They have 2 locations here in the Chattanooga area which are Northshore and Ooltewah. You can check out the website/menu here Italian Restaurant Chattanooga | Ooltewah | Il Primo Restaurant.
Check out a few examples from the website. I was so excited to eat there againthat I left my phone in the car…
