16 Best Italian Restaurants in Franklin

“This restaurant graciously accommodated our very large family in a matter of minutes - transformed their small dining area just for us. We had a terrific meal, it was affordable and our vegetarian relatives were very happy too. Thank you, Felour, for your amazing hospitality and food!“

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

“We've been here several times and consistently have a good experience. Asked for some help picking out the charcuterie and it was great (hot honey goat cheese was my favorite). Old fashioned was good. We got several of the small plates to share and those with the hot honey was enough of a meal for the 2 of us. We've tried several of the pastas and entrees before and enjoyed those, just didn't have room this time. Usually busy at dinner time so I always try to set up a reservation. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Our server, N**a, was amazing! She was so kind and helpful, my baby girl gave her the flashy bracelet she was gifted with upon discharge from Vanderbilt Children's Hospital as a token of appreciation.. So, it was obviously nothing short of amazing, God bless you girly !! (hope you get to see this review) 😁💓“

“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!“

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

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Pizza is amazing, haven’t found anywhere that compares in taste of lasagna, and their fettuccine 🤤 so much amazing food and the owner is super friendly!“

“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!“

“We tried Slice House for the first time the other night, and it did not disappoint! They have a great outdoor seating area and a cozy vibe inside. What I loved most was that you can order premade fun, unique styles of pizza by the slice — it’s such a great way to try different options without committing to a whole pie (though you can order a full pizza too if you want!).

Every slice we tried was delicious. My husband is a very picky pizza person, and since we often review pizza places when we travel, his opinion carries some weight — and he rated this as one of his favorites! That says a lot, believe me. 🍕👏“
