Welcome to a delightful culinary journey at The Black Olive, where the heart of Italy meets the charm of Jonesborough, Tennessee. Nestled at 125 E Jackson Blvd Ste 8, this Italian restaurant effortlessly balances a cozy atmosphere with a menu that resonates with genuine Italian flavors.
The Black Olive stands out not just for its extensive menu, but also for its commitment to customer satisfaction. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has ample on-site parking. Whether you're planning a casual lunch with friends or a family dinner, The Black Olive is perfectly equipped to welcome groups, including children with its kid-friendly options.
The range of dishes is impressive, featuring everything from Cheesy Breadsticks—made from homemade pizza dough and served with marinara sauce—to Italian Garlic Knots, which are brushed with garlic butter and baked to golden perfection. The appetizers set the stage for a delightful meal that you won't forget. For the main course, don't miss the Meat Lasagna. This house-made classic, topped with rich meat sauce and mozzarella, is nothing short of comfort on a plate. If you prefer something a bit different, opt for the Eggplant Parmesan, baked until bubbly and served with a side of spaghetti marinara.
What I truly appreciate about The Black Olive is the option to build your own pasta. Choose from various pasta types—Angel Hair, Bowtie, or Spaghetti—and elevate your dish with housemade marinara or a meaty sauce. The Five Meat Pasta features a delicious medley of pepperoni, ham, sausage, and bacon, tossed with sautéed garlic, offering a truly unique Italian experience.
The ambiance is perfectly casual, with a modicum of noise, allowing for pleasant conversations, while outdoor seating options—including heated and covered areas—make it a wonderful spot anytime of year. Plus, with services ranging from delivery to catering, you can enjoy these flavors wherever you are.
To enhance your dining experience, The Black Olive even offers happy hour specials, making it a fantastic choice for unwinding after a long day. With a friendly staff, reliable service, and delightful dishes, The Black Olive feels like a home away from home, where every bite brings a taste of Italy right to your plate. I highly recommend you visit and indulge in the flavors of this Italian gem.
