Alleia

On 2004, the idea of opening a second location in Chattanooga's Southside sparked. Chef Daniel Lindley wanted to go into authentic rustic Italian cuisine while also including regional flavors. This ambition is realized thanks to exceptional ingredients imported from Italy and high-quality food brought from local farms. Alleia is housed in the old Harrington building in Chattanooga's revitalized southside area. In April 2009, Chef Daniel Lindley's ambition of delivering simple, Italian-inspired cuisine became a reality.

Chef Lindley's most recent venture is a unique take on rustic Italian food, created using local ingredients and an ever-changing menu. Alleia features seven types of house-made pasta and a 750-degree handmade brick oven for pizza baking.

Alleia, designed by Revival Studio's Rodney Simmons, captures the warmth and coziness of a traditional trattoria while also striking new ground in modern restaurant design. The area, which is trimmed with 300-year-old wood from the Harrington building, can accommodate up to 200 people. A custom-made banquette runs the length of the main dining room, providing customers with a 360-degree view of the restaurant. Alleia's porch combines the finest of outdoor and interior dining. The porch, which has a large wraparound couch and climbing jasmine, is a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the Southside
