Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Midtown

Hands down the best Italian food in Nashville and possibly some of the best in the U.S. so far. On par with or better than Italian food in Boston. Having just returned from 2 weeks in Italy, I can honestly say this is authentic Italian! Every dish was amazing, especially the pasta.

One of my favorite dining experiences in Nashville. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. They started us off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast the occasion. (Very nice and appreciated). Then we were brought an amuse bouche- which I have to say I couldn't understand the servers description. But it was lovely. We had the focaccia with ricotta and honey. It was excellent. Then we followed with the risotto - which was also excellent. My husband had the sirloin which was well prepared and tender. It came with a side of whipped potatoes. I had the acorn squash which was an unexpected highlight. We looked at the dessert menu but decided we were too full- but the server brought us the pear upside down cake as a celebratory gift- and we loved it. Service was excellent. Our water was attended to. Our drinks were delivered in a timely manner. The atmosphere was quiet- which in Music City is rare and was a welcomed respite to our other dining experiences in the city. Given all this excellence, the dinner was very reasonably priced and a good value. I highly recommend!

Stellar dinner. Our server was second to none. Great evening. Thank you!

Ordered the Thanksgiving take home pack and I can’t say enough good things about it. The packaging was great (sturdy and easy to reheat in the oven), absolutely everything tasted amazing - you could really tell they didn’t take any shortcuts cooking the food, the quantity was very generous, and the overall variety was exceptional. I will definitely do this again and will certainly make a point to come into the restaurant as well based on how great everything was here. Really amazing!
