The Black Olive Italian Restaurant

Jonesborough and Elizabethton Share the Table

Welcome to The Black Olive, where for the past 12 years, we have had the absolute privilege of serving as Jonesborough’s neighborhood Italian restaurant. To us, being part of this historic community isn’t just about where our doors are open; it’s about the deep roots we’ve grown and the wonderful neighbors we’ve come to consider family. From the moment you walk through our doors, our goal is to make you feel completely at home.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple philosophy: exceptional food is built on a foundation of quality ingredients, prepared with genuine love and care. Every single dish that leaves our kitchen is made fresh to order. We believe that a great dining experience should be tailored entirely to you. That is why we welcome all special requests, modifications, and dietary changes with open arms. While many establishments shy away from adjustments, we embrace them because we want your meal to be exactly the way you like it.

We also understand that times are changing, and everyday costs are rising for everyone. Now more than ever, we remain deeply committed to keeping our meals both affordable and exceptional. We take great pride in serving generous, large portions of fresh, delicious Italian comfort food at fair prices, ensuring you always get the value and quality you deserve.

Your voice matters to us. Because we view our guests as family, we thrive on your feedback, ideas, and constructive critiques. We take every comment seriously and constantly use your input to refine and perfect what we do. Thank you for letting us share our table with you for over a decade—we look forward to serving you, exactly how you like it, for many more years to come.
