2nd time at Pelato and another great experience. Service is fast and everyone is lovely. Food itself if truly great. Have yet to have a dish I haven’t liked. They recommend 3-4 plates per person. Some dishes are on the heavier side so I would order on the smaller side (3 per) and add from there. Have to admit I thought getting the broccolini would be a mistake but it might be my second favorite dish. Nothing beats their vodka sauce. And as a New Jersey transplant I’ve eaten a lot of vodka sauce.

1st time at Sinatra’s and it did not disappoint. The ambiance was great, old school lounge feel. The service was great, food and drinks were very good. The alcohol was a bit over priced but expected for downtown Nashville. We enjoyed the live piano music and singing too. We will definitely be back.
