Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in West End

Our party of five had an amazing experience at Il Forno last night. We ordered the arrancini and a pizza to share to start. The pizza did not disappoint with a delicious thin crust and the freshest toppings. Entrees were three pasta dishes-all exceptional, especially the lamb ragu over fettuccine, another pizza, and the cioppini. Again, all excellent. I would definitely recommend this as a place for date night and a group meal.

The most sophisticated fine-dining experience in Nashville! Outstanding food deeply connected to Italian tradition, brilliant presentation, absolutely top-tier service. Not inexpensive, but the best never is.

Much better than I expected . Food was great and different. The service from Drew our server was excellent.

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!
