The best award-winning steakhouse in the area! Worth the drive from Banner Elk (13 miles), Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain (30 minute drive) , Johnson City or wherever you are. Americano Steak House is a local, veteran-owned restaurant featuring hand-cut steaks, fresh seafood, amazing salads, 1/2 pound steak-burgers, decadent desserts and the only full liquor bar in the East Tennessee mountains will over 100 wines by the bottle and glass.

We kindly ask that you do not show up early for your reservation, but simply on time. We are a small, boutique steakhouse that focuses on exceptional food and incredible service in the mountains of East Tennessee and typically cannot seat guests earlier than their reserved time.

While we have always discouraged them, our policy towards no shows/same day cancelations MUST be firm. No shows and same day cancellations are the plague of the industry and we ask of you to uphold your end of this commitment as we are thrilled to provide on our end.

    Another amazing meal at Americano!! We visit here several times a year when we come up to our cabin. Absolutely love the food, ambiance and everyone on staff including the owner. The holiday specials were a hit this year with most of our table ordering the surf and turf, our son had the filet which is always amazing and I had the sirloin equally delicious. Broccolini was fantastic and well seasoned. The truffle fries, clam chowder, escargot, firecracker shrimp all amazing. The Caesar salad is usually a favorite among all but tonight was overdressed. Still good but definitely overdressed and I don’t think anyone finished theirs. Dessert we enjoyed bread pudding and crème brûlée and both were very good. The guys enjoyed their old fashioned and us ladies really enjoyed our cosmos and espresso martinis. This is a must visit Everytime and I’m so grateful we have this wonderful restaurant 10 minutes from our house!!

    Victor provided amazing service. The food was absolutely phenomenal, as usual. I was happy to celebrate my birthday for a second night at the Americano. I was just there a couple nights prior to celebrating with a different group of people. This place is really a gem!

    A wonderful dining experience from the moment we walked in! Our waitress was attentive, the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was classy but not stuffy! I would definitely recommend this place. It is a treasure in the small town of Roan Mtn. We will be returning in the future.

    Celebrated our 35th anniversary here tonight. Being relatively new to TN, we hadn't yet visited any steakhouses, so I relied on researching reviews online. Americano Steak House had really good reviews, so although it was an hours drive, I was excited to take my wife here. The waitress was pleasant and attentive. We started with the calamari appetizer which we really enjoyed. The prime ribeye I ordered med rare was actually quite rare. Had this been the only issue, I could have still enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it was extremely fatty. I don't think I've ever sent back a steak before, as I'm really not a picky eater. However, after a few bites I just couldn't do it. I told the waitress who offered another ribeye or a different cut. I opted for the NY strip which was much better although still more rare than a normal med rare piece of meat I order. The caesar salad and garlic mashed potatoes were good as sides. I ended up eating after my wife was nearly finished. She order a filet with shrimp and sides of crusted brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. She loved her meal, which was great. The atmosphere seemed to me more of a family restaurant (several families with kids there) vs. a classy steakhouse which I was kind of hoping for at these prices (don't think I'd categorize as $30 and under though unless you have chicken or fish and no appetizers). Overall it was still nice to get out for a drive and try a new place. We always like supporting smaller towns/businesses, and we liked the fact this place is veteran owned (I'm also a vet). Might be back, might not.
