If you are familiar with Bristol, it straddles the state line where one side of the road is Tennessee and the other side is Virginia. The Angry Italian is on the Tennessee side, but you could view this road as a meshing of two cultures -- which perfectly describes what you will find at this restaurant. With influences coming from Italian and Chicago cuisine, it's only appropriate for this place to be located on a road that straddles two states.

Yonker has traveled the world and acquired quite a long list of accomplishments over his culinary career. However, being born and raised in Chicago, his roots and passions always return to that classic Windy City brand of Italian cuisine. After desiring to make his home in Eastern Tennessee, an opportunity opened up that ultimately led to The Angry Italian. The offbeat name of the restaurant comes from the owner himself, but the staff claims he isn’t mad -- just animated, which is pretty standard for Chicagoans.

I mean, just look at that delicious piece of pizza! If that doesn’t say “inviting” I don’t know what does. The staff works hard to make sure everyone is served well and when it comes time to leave they are full and happy. With food this good, that second part shouldn’t be a problem at all.
