When the owners of Naples Restaurant in West Knoxville announced they were ending their 21-year run last month, it left a big void. Some diners had sentimental reasons for lamenting the closing while others will just miss the good food.

Enter Forno Grill; this new restaurant at 743 North Campbell Station Road in Farragut fills that need for real Italian cuisine. Open since April, Forno Grill doesn’t have the 1970s atmosphere of Naples, but the food quality and preparation more than justify a visit.
