Our Business Development Manager, Sean, had a great morning at Gatlinburg-Pittman Junior High School speaking with students about the many career opportunities available in the construction industry. From hands-on skilled trades to project management and leadership roles, Sean shared how construction offers rewarding career paths with real opportunities for growth, on-the-job training, and long-term success.

Thank you for having us, GPJHS!

Everyone’s favorite Best Italian is beginning an exciting new chapter and Citadel Construction is proud to serve as general contractor for their renovation. We’re grateful to be part of a project that blends history, craftsmanship, and community, and we can’t wait to help bring this iconic Gatlinburg staple back to life when doors reopen in May 2026.

Today, we temporarily close our doors as we begin an exciting new chapter.

In 1976, Best Italian opened with one simple goal: to serve scratch‑made Italian food that feels like home. Nearly 50 years later, we’re taking this time to honor that history with a thoughtful remodel designed for the next 50 years.

Over the coming months, we’ll be upgrading our kitchen with state‑of‑the‑art equipment, refreshing our dining space, and giving the brand a facelift — all while keeping the things that matter most exactly the same. The recipes aren’t changing. Everything will still be made from scratch and baked in house. And most importantly, Best Italian will still feel like home.

We’re planning to reopen May 2026, and we can’t wait to welcome you back.

Until then, we’d love to serve you at our family restaurants here in Gatlinburg: Howard's Restaurant, Best Italian Express, The Coffee Syndicate, and Alibi Speakeasy.

Thank you for being part of our story. ❤️
The best is yet to come.
