10/10!! We came here for our anniversary and it was by far the BEST Italian food I’ve ever had!!! We had the Chicken Parmesan and Ravioli, both were absolutely incredible, they also have killer espresso martinis!! The staff was amazing, our waiter was there for all of our questions and needs. The atmosphere is gorgeous and so relaxing! We will definitely come back again!!

Had a wonderful dinner that I would highly recommend everyone who loves Italian eats to stop by, ask for Marshall. He will take care of everything as well as recommend some classic hits on the menu. Be sure to try the focaccia bread and soup of the day! I know everyone seems to miss the previous place that was here, but this is a huge improvement on dining!

I highly recommend this restaurant for large parties or special events. We recently had my daughter's graduation party here with 40 guests. It was very affordable, and everything was amazing including the reservation process, food, service, and private space. Corey and Brandi were very accommodating before and on the day of the event. We even had a Photo Booth and candy station. Everyone helped to make this special day memorable for my daughter, family, and friends. I will be back soon. Thanks again!

The service is 5 star (thank you Dan for being so amazing and personable!) And the food is out of this world. As an avid seafood lover, I was hesitant to try the seafood pizza, but Dan highly recommended it, so we tried it. We will be dreaming about it! Fantastic, especially with the house sauce. Dan makes a killer pear martini as well! Will be back!! Thank you so much.

This is real Italian! Delicious homemade sauces and dressings. Unique wines. Sorry we didn't get staged plates. We ate it all, couldn't wait. The Francesca sauce with veal was wonderful.

Hidden gem! A couple blocks off Broadway and sooo yummy! Was a nice spot to slow down and enjoy a delicious meal for my husband’s birthday dinner. The special focaccia was literally my meal! So so yummy.

Amazing Italian cuisine and dining experience. Stellar service and vibe in heart of downtown Nash. Had a huge cut of halibut pan fried to absolute perfection with lump crap meat, smothered in Oscar sauce that I could truly bathe in. Executed with perfection, truly delicious and best meal I've had in a while. Great selection of local craft beers and I highly recommend an Italian Fashioned.

Outstanding in every possible way. Service from Aron was superb. His recommendations were 100% spot on. We started with fried zucchini which was lightly fried and delicious. The Risotto Beef was perfectly cooked and flavorful. But to me the star of the night was the veal saltimbocca. I can’t even begin to describe the flavors from that amazing dish. The location is great being close to everything. The artwork / mural was worth a photo or two as well. I’m looking forward to visiting the original in Memphis- but Nashville is lucky to have such a great fine dining experience!
