Italian Restaurants near Antioch

“It’s absolutely the best pizza in Southern Nashville and it’s cheaper than most commercial spots like Domino’s.“

“First time at the new location and thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambience is great and service was outstanding (Thank you Grant). We had the Frutti di Mare and Veal Saltimbocca and both were equally outstanding. Nice wine list as well. Dress business casual as most fine dining restaurants are, so best to avoid dressing overly casual (Swartz, flip-flops, tank tops, caps, etc).“

“Amazing vibes, amazing food, amazing service. Everything we ordered was to die for, and this has quickly become one of our go-to Italian restaurants in Nashville. Bogan was an excellent waiter—attentive, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. 10/10!“

“This may be the best place we have ever eaten in Nashville. The service. The vibe. The food. All superb! The garlic bread with cream cheese was divine! The salad was delicious. The risotto with lobster was tasty but the ricotta tortellini and the short rib with polenta was (and excuse the phrasing) orgasmic. Highly recommend 👌🏽“

“probably the best Philly cheese steak I've ever had“

“Went twice while in Nashville and both times were a delight. Great staff and the pizza was phenomenal!“

“The staff were very friendly and the food was amazing.“

“We were in Nashville for a concert & found Little Hats online & decided to check it out because the reviews were so good. We were not disappointed at all! The customer service was phenomenal! The two beautiful ladies at the front were super friendly & helpful & very easy to talk to. The food was so good that we had to go back for more the next day to take back home to Indiana with us! The bolognese was some of the best pasta i’ve ever had! We found several things in the market area to take home & make for ourselves & the sandwiches we got for the cooler for our trek back home traveled well & were still delicious hours later. We are so glad we found Little Hats! Thank you for the awesome dining experience! 🖤“

“The food was excellent! We sat at the bar, which was very pleasant. Jeremy took excellent care of us. The entertainment was outstanding. If you close your eyes, you could easily imagine Frank Sinatra singing live. Highly recommend this restaurant. “

“We’d worked hard and decided to try an Italian place we hadn’t tried before. We chose Salento Italia and what a good move! The service by Taylor was superb and the spaghetti with cauliflower was delish and my husband’s shrimp scampi was yummy too! Great place!!!“

“Excellent food, wine and service. From our server to the guys working the kitchen, we had a blast and awesome meal at the pizza counter seats!!!“

“Friday night after a few drinks late night at some local bars and not wanting to drive far from our hotel, we ordered from here and LOVEDDDD it. Pizza was hot, fresh ingredients & we ate every single slice. To top it off they graciously added a 2 liter of sprite to our order that we didn't even order & let us use their restroom. That following Sat we decided to try something different on the menu & we still were more than happy. The small calzone was HUGE and full of ingredients but not too much. The cheesesteak hoagie was a great portion too. 4 people ate just those 2 things and we all we FULL! And again we were offered a free soda. We now all have this placed saved for our return to Nashville“

“I'm a New Yorker in Nashville. In this Neopolitan wood fired era, this is different. It takes time, but usually good things do.

And like a good New Yorker, I picked this ezzo pepperoni slice up to eat it. That is a skill, from me and the chef.“

“Hands down the most delicious Italian food I’ve ever had. My husband and I came up from Georgia to celebrate our anniversary/Valentine’s Day, and we were welcomed with a hand-written card and impeccable service. We can’t wait to come back.“

“I went to Mangia last night for the first time, and it was beyond expectations! The environment and service were both 10/10, and the food was off the charts incredible. *of note: I have issues with gluten and 90% of the menu was already gluten free. The gf pasta and bread options were delicious, and I didn’t feel like the odd one out at any point (because I could eat the same dishes as everyone else with a slight modification)! The team really does make it feel like you’re at a family event. The dancing mid meal is super fun and makes finishing the rest of the meal easier lol! 12/10 ✨ and I am already thinking about when we can go back 🥰🤣“

“The Mussels Milanese were absolutely excellent,Then came the Pasta & Meatballs—very good doesn't even do it justice Service was top-notch from start to finish - very friendly , ended with tiramisu , and wow—what a perfect ending.“

“Upon arriving to Carrabba’s, my stomach was rumbling. This was my first tine using carry-out at this location . The food was ready, hot , packaged. A lovely gentleman Alex greeted me at the carry-out window. As we were going over my order, I noticed I made a mistake. Alex re-looked at my order to understand where the error was and quickly got helped to fix it. A lovely manager by the name of Patricia went over and correct my order. Great customer service!! I’m a Carrabba fan for life!!“

“We had dinner here tonight. Good ambiance and excellent service. We enjoyed the fettuccini, pesto and rigatoni. ♥️“

“Had a pasta and pizza and they were both amazing. We are from Australia and found it hard to find a good restaurant in the Marina bay sands area and this did not disappoint. 5 stars“

“Dishes are VERY cheesy. That is endemic of Italian, but it could be toned down just a little. Every appetizer was delicious. The drinks were on par.
The service was awesome! We had a large group and the waiters were excellent. It has dark wood and seemed very popular.“

“The food was so delicious. There were 17 of us and everyone enjoyed their dinner. staff were amazing. thank you for a lovely evening.“

“This place is a rare find where EVERYTHING.. from the ambiance to the food is on point. The standout feature? They make their pasta from scratch, and you can absolutely taste the difference. The Chicken Parmesan is a must-try, with perfectly breaded buttermilk chicken that's tender and juicy, topped with their homemade marinara and melted mozzarella. The pasta that comes with it is, of course, made in-house and cooked to perfection. It's comfort food at its finest. Speaking of comfort food, their Mac and Cheese is hands down one of the best I've ever had. It's creamy, cheesy, and has just the right amount of crunch. You can tell it’s made with love, and the scratch-made pasta elevates it to a whole new level. And for those who crave a taste of Chicago, their Italian Beef Sandwich is a revelation. The beef is thinly sliced, piled high, and soaked in jus that’s packed with flavor. Paired with their house-made giardiniera, it’s the kind of sandwich that you’ll be dreaming about long after you’ve left. The atmosphere at Nicoletto's is cozy and inviting, with a warm, rustic vibe that makes you want to linger over your meal. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, eager to guide you through the menu or offer up a drink recommendation. In a city full of dining options, Nicoletto's stands out not just for its fresh, homemade pasta but for the love and care they put into every dish. Whether you're a pasta purist or someone who just loves good food, Nicoletto's is a place that deserves a top spot on your must-visit list. 😋“

“The quail tonight was phenomenal!“

“amazing food and service!“

“Great restaurant with amazing food and an unbelievable staff!“

“Have been looking for restaurant that has similar taste to what Italy has. We ordered the Marinated olives, bread and meat balls as appetizer, flat iron steaks and finished with tiramisu. Everything was delicious! The olives were so good that I bought a jar of them to bring home. Will be back!!!“

“North Italia was a hit for our Christmas meal. I did not want to spend half the day in the kitchen this year and wanted convenience and a great meal. I found the family pack to go meals while searching online and it’s a excellent deal. We chose the lagsagna family pack which included a large Ceasar salad, huge loaf of garlic bread, lasagna for 4 to 6 and tiramisu. We picked it up last night to heat and seve today. Bravo North Italia. This meal was absolutely delicious and there is plenty for 2 people to have for 3 nights. At the time of our purchase it was only $65.00 plus tax. We will do this again. Thanks again to the young lady that took my order and to the Manager Zane that called to confirm my order.“

“Delicious food, great service!“

“The stromboli and pasta were amazing. The service was fantadtic. We drove 45 minutes to eat there and we will be returning!!“

“Hands down the best all around dinner experience in Nashville. Presentation was off the charts! This was our first time visiting, they had a “Christmas Eve” menu which looked delicious but we came with our hearts set on the steak; no questions asked the kitchen was happy to adjust, we received the best steak we have tasted yet! The staff was beyond wonderful, the atmosphere was perfect. Love love loved Yolan; this will be a must have every time we visit Nashville! Thank you Yolan for the perfect Christmas Eve experience!“

“Fantastic standard dishes as well pizza. Hot has a kick. Will be back.“

“Food is always great! Love the new menu changes. Service was a bit off but there was only 1 bartender and did not see any manger presence to help him. Ie: waited for bread/oil (gf bread arrived before oil). Pastas were 1/2 eaten before he had a moment to offer us parm, food was dropped by other servers who offered no secondary service. Still one of our favorite spots and will be back!“

“When we arrived we were greeted by this very friendly and great server named Yasmin!She was very kind and funny! Yasmin was one of the best servers we ever had! Our drinks were coming late and without us asking she went and told the kitchen that we need our drinks! She was also very relatable! She was like a friend to us! I would recommend for Yasmin a reward because she was amazing! The food is delicious and comes hot and fresh! Don’t get me started on the breadsticks! The breadsticks come hot and perfectly seasoned! They are soft and crisp! The salads are delicious as well! The sauces are delicious and there is great variety of these amazing greens and I can’t get enough! What I usually get is some pasta and it is delicious!! The atmosphere is very well set up and fancy! The lights are nice and the walls give off and modern and natural vibe! The place overall is amazing! 5 stars! Thank you Olive Garden for this amazing place!“

“Food was great, staff was very friendly.“

“Jonathan at Olive Gardenwas amazing! The service was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Our food came out hot and tasted great, and Jonathan checked on us just the right amount without being overbearing. You can tell he really cares about his guests. Overall, great service and good food. I’ll definitely be back!“

“WONDERFUL! Went today to the Franklin location for my birthday and sat in the kitchen so my son could experience it, and WOW! The service and food were amazing, our waitress was great and Kevin the manager really made our day, he was AMAZING!! I have been going to Buca for many years but this experience was one for the books!“

“Just found this place and have eaten there twice. Food is delicious.. The outside will fool you as it’s next to a liquor store and discount beer store. The interior very clean with white table cloths and comfortable seating. My husband usually has wine with his meal. They don’t serve alcohol but said fine for folks to bring their own bottle. Family owned. Very sweet family, really good food at a reasonable price with comfortable dining . Can’t ask for anything more.“

“Food was amazing! Everything was fresh and hot. The server Savanah was amazing 💕 Definitely a great spot for a nice date night or a simple solo date. 10/10 across the board.“
