Bluff View Art District

The Bluff View Art District is a small section of Chattanooga next to the Tennessee River, filled with historic homes.

There are a few inns, art galleries, restaurants, a bakery and a coffee shop, to name a few, and there are sculptures scattered throughout the properties. There is also a sculpture garden as well.

We ended up at Bluff View because I picked out Tony’s Pasta Shop and Trattoria, an Italian restaurant, for my belated birthday dinner. The reviews are in and Tony’s will become a favorite place for us. I had the shrimp scampi, and there was plenty more on the menu that I want to try. The portions and prices were both reasonable. I recommend making a reservation though! The place was packed, but that is always a good sign.

While waiting for our name to be called for a table, we took a quick walk to the sculpture garden and the bluff overlook. After dinner, we walked around the entire district (it’s only 1.5 blocks.)

This alley felt like it belonged more in Italy, not Chattanooga.

One of the inns. That front porch looks inviting!

The front of Rembrandt’s Coffee House. This is another place that we will have to check out in the future.
