17 Best Italian Restaurants in Franklin

“First time there, Very Good Food!“

“I'm very harsh with Italian. The food was very good; could have used more green on the plate. I had the ravioli. A creamy, savory dish, but to call the four brussel leaves and 3 microgreen sprigs a garnish is quite a stretch. It was very heavy, needed some bread or leafy green to lighten the meal. However, the marrow melted in your mouth and the pasta soaked up the red wine reduction nicely. Service was great, the server (whose name I fail to recall; you guy) was knowledgeable about the wines and recommended a lovely pinot noir. For dessert I had an espresso. Very good bean, though I believe it was stale and was sloppily poured. All in all I give the experience a 7/10. (5/10 = average, so above average but needs work). Price was perfectly fair, paid about 65 dollars after tip.“

“Always have a good experience! Great food. Excellent service. Never had a bad meal😀“

“Menu: slightly different from what you see on their website, so we were taken aback at first, but a lot of overlaps

Food: delicious! Forgot to take pictures of half of the things we ordered, but the table favorites were Burrata, Pesto, Focaccia. Everything we ordered tasted great.

Staff: Was friendly, but one of our guests ordered a fish entree and while they were bringing out everyone’s plates, our server told him to choose something else as they were out of that fish. I think they could have reached out to us earlier. However, they were extremely accommodating to our ever changing guest list and kept adding more tables to accommodate everyone.

Service: they don’t let you split the check more than 6 ways, so if you’re going there in large parties, be ready to Venmo each other.

Parking: plenty of parking spots right outside the establishment.

Vibe: other patrons were pretty quiet and nice. Overall, ambiance was great. Loved the chic decor of the place. The bar area is rather large but no noisy patrons there either.

Overall, very pleased with my experience. Would go again!

Vegetarian options: You can ask to replace the meat with veggies“

“Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Service was excellent.“

“Very unique…. Loved looking at all the pictures ! Food was great !“

“I like this Olive Garden over many of the other locations around! They were pretty quick and the food was good. Everything tasted fresh. But I do have to say it is very uncomfortably cold at this Olive Garden every time I’m here. And that normally doesn’t bother me but dang it’s cold in there.
Over all, it’s all good here!“

“The staff is very friendly. The food is fresh and delicious with homemade sauces. Nice, quiet atmosphere to enjoy dinner. The cheese wedges and Pepperoni pizza were fabulous!“

“We have driven by this place on the square in Franklin for years and had never stopped in. We ate there tonight and it was incredible. I think I ate the best plate of pasta that I have ever eaten.“

“My wife and I celebrated our 24th anniversary with dinner at Cork & Cow. Everything, EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect. Our reservation was for 9pm. We walked in at 8:45 and were seated immediately. Mike, our server, was quick to greet us and made excellent suggestions. I already knew I wanted the bone-in ribeye, but I wasn't settled on an appetizer. Mike suggested the pork belly: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. My wife ordered the filet. Both steaks were well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Dessert didn't seem likely, since I was starting to feel full, but I overheard another server mention a chocolate torte that had peanut butter mousse, so. . . O. M. G. As if the food and service weren't good enough, we were back in our hotel room by 9:45.“

“Love this place! My husband and I were greeted as soon as we entered the door with the biggest smile of a Chef...you can watch your order being made~this man has skills! Fresh out of the oven came out sausage roll and cheese stromboli. THESE WERE FANTASTIC! If you want NY style eats, THIS is the place to be! Thank you for your hospitality and fab eats ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Closest pizza I have found to New York. Friendly atmosphere and staff with great food. Highly recommend“

“I’m town for a a trip and discovered this place staff was quite friendly and helped with any menu questions we had. Got the Tikka Masala and Arachai Gobi pizzas and they were exceptional. Had cheese bread and chicken Alfredo as well and they were good. Honestly if you like Indian food this place is a must try. If you like pizza it’s a great place and I encourage you to branch out and try something new. 100% we will be back next time we’re in town.“

“I placed a huge order this morning for a party at our office. I accidentally typed the wrong phone number in, so when the driver arrived he had no idea where to find me. He waited, asked around, and even looked me up on LinkedIn to find me. I was so grateful to him for not leaving!!! The pizza and salad was all wonderful. Thank you!!“

“Wasn't that bad but like alot of pizzeria in franklin, this one bit the dust.“

“I came into Slice House the other day and let me tell you the girl at the counter was the sweetest ever! I think she said her name was Emma? I don't quite recall it, but she was very sweet and helped me choose what kind of pizza to get. The pizza was pretty good too! Great choice!“

“I used to live up in the midwest, where Jet's is readily available. It's my first time having it in probably five years and it really hits the spot. Perfect thick crust, lots of cheese, crispy pepperoni. You'd step over your own mother just to get some!“
