41 Best Italian Restaurants near Antioch

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

“When I lived off of Una I would be in this place three times a day. The staff were always great an the food good and cost effective. If I ever get back this is a place I will gladly patronize again“

“Vibes were just right with nice music playing in the background and the decor was very cute! The lamb chops, loaded mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, catfish and French toast were off the chain for brunch! Make sure Chef Rome is in the building and you'll have an experience you'll never forget!“

“pelato was amazing as always! the service, atmosphere and staff is always perfection! my partner and I find a reason to come at least once a month! if only there was a point system, we would be racking them up! I always recommend pelato, it has become OUR place!“

“The food was delicious & service impeccable! Definitely will be back“

“I have lived in Nashville for over 20 years and this was one of the best meals I have had here! Our server, Kayla, was delightful and funny and was on top of everything. The tuna tartare was out of this world and I will be dreaming about the garlic bread and agnolotti until I go back! It’s tucked away in WeHo but it’s worth the trip.“

“Sat at the bar and had the best lunch in Nashville. Ordered “The Morty” and The club Sammy. Best service and vibe you can ask for. I highly recommend this establishment. I have been to their dinner service before and it’s just as great.“

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

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

“Food is always great and Noelle is so friendly! Loved talking to her about Italy and busiate pasta!“

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

“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!!!“

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

“Enjoyed a good lunch here. Casual and comfortable. Service was great and food was good. One of the best tasting Alfredo I have had. We did have an issue with undercooked pasta but they were quick to correct and apologized so it was handled appropriately. I would return.“

“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!!!“

“We came here on a Friday evening and overall had a good experience. We tried 4 different cocktails and they were all very unique and tasted great. We ordered tomato basil soup which was the best I've ever had as well as a good caesar salad. We were a little disappointed in the entrees the blackened salmon and the fettuccine alfredo. We were also disappointed that the live music was just piano. We would have loved for them to sing 40s music. The price was a little steep as well as an unexpected $40 in taxes and a 3% credit card service fee. However the service was incredible and we still had a great time.“

“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 🥰🤣“

“We love this Carrabba's! Our family had a delightful dinner here tonight. Steven was our waiter. He was professional and friendly. Our food was delicious and served quickly. Carrabba's cappuccino beats all others. It is my favorite way to end a meal 💕“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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. 😋“

“Food was great, staff was very friendly.“

“amazing food and service!“

“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“

“I came here tonight for a friend’s birthday and the hospitality, food, and vibes were a 10/10!! Staff were so friendly and eager to make sure my friend had an amazing experience. It felt like one big party with delicious food and vibes. At the end we had an issue with the check and they went above and beyond to fix it for us. Please go if you’re celebrating anything at all, I had a TIME“

“Frankie’s — Our New Go-To Italian Restaurant!

Frankie’s is definitely not a restaurant you want to judge by its cover. Walking in, we honestly didn’t have the highest expectations—but our perspective changed very quickly!

The service was friendly, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Our waitress walked my wife through the cocktail options, while the sommelier offered to take our bottle of wine and chill it in their cellar. Those little touches made a great first impression.

And the food? An absolute 10!

As our waitress highlighted the menu, I asked if they had bruschetta. They didn’t, but she suggested combining two dishes to create our own—and we did! Their Heirloom Tomato Salad was fantastic, especially paired with their olive oil. The flavor was terrific.

For our main courses, my wife ordered the Tennessee Corn Ravioli with Crispy Prosciutto, and I had the Cavatelli with Hot Sausage and Browned Sage Butter. Both were absolutely fantastic.

Since moving here, we’ve been looking for our “go-to” Italian restaurant—and we found it!

Overall, we couldn’t have been happier. The food was a 10/10, and the service and care from our waitress and the management were excellent.

We’ll be back over and over and over!

Our only suggestion: as the sun sets, several tables get hit with direct sunlight. A little shade would make the experience even better and keep guests from getting blinded during dinner. 😎

But that’s a very small issue compared with how great everything else was. Frankie’s is a winner!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We frequent this restaurant often and make it a point to visit whenever we are in town. The restaurant has food that is beyond fantastic, excellent early bird specials, and staff that is knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions you may have. The management staff is very friendly and always ensures the food and service is up to a very high standard. Geoff in particular made sure to talk to every table to ensure a proper fine dining experience. If you like Italian food, you have to make it a point to visit.“

“Great pizza in Nashville. Perfect crust and great taste. Plenty of choices“

“What an incredible hidden gem! We celebrated our 25th anniversary there tonight and I could easily go back tomorrow for another round! We had the whipped ricotta, Caesar salad, and Ophelia’s lasagna. Fantastic service, amazing ambiance. Make a reservation….you will not regret it! And the Hamlet book they bring your check in….so unique!“

“Everything we ordered came out hot and fresh. The food was delicious. We ordered the brushetta to start with. It was packed with flavor. Our two main course meals were the Three Cheese Tortellini and the Fettuccine Imperial.

Our server Jaylen was on top of anything we could ask for as soon as we sat down, until the time we left. Big kudos to the staff here. I'll be back next time im in town.“

“Delicious food, great service!“

“great pizza we go to the gallatin store most.“

“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.“

“My kids love it. I'm not a crazy fan of the dishes. The marinara sauce seems overly salty.

The menu also seem somewhat stale - I feel like I've been seeing the same thing for years now.

I'll give them one thing, the breadsticks with the Alfredo sauce – I could eat that till I passed out.

But the service is always excellent. The hosts & hostesses are very friendly and helpful.

The restaurant seems to be popular with everyone except for me. So maybe it's me?“
