“This is going to be an odd review. This is about 925 not the pizza place, the pizza place phenomenal.
I've been twice now. Both times the service was horrible, slow, pretentious. Almost annoyed that you're there. (Except this one girl I wish I knew her name she worked tonight and had a Frankie's blue shirt on. Wish she was my server every time, but she wasn't she just brought our boxed up food at the end)
Also they charge for bread like 6 bucks, think I paid 12 all together, but it's worth it.
Now more importantly, the food.
The food is worth every bit. I had a 545 reservation tonight and I wish I had two more hours to eat there.
I could just sit and enjoy it from open to close it's that good.
We had the bread, mozzarella platter (slightly wetter than the first time I went but still fire)
Wife had beets. Highlight of the meal, ravioli (also wetter than last time but still perfect) I had the sausage brown butter. Daughter had egg plant parm. Really I would love to say this place sucks people are rude etc never coming back. But the food is so damn good it's worth it.
First time I came in they were closing early it was our anniversary and I love the pizza place so I wanted to try the restaurant.
It was amazing. Again horrible service. But amazing food. They closed early for a private party or something I can't remember. Didn't affect us because we were quick to eat and sat at the bar. But this one guy came in while we were eating and almost got in a fight with the hostess because he sat he sat there for 15 minutes before being greeted. And then the hostess was like we close in 20 mins. No where was it posted guy was pretty ticked. To us it was dinner and a show. But hey sometimes you close early.
Chefs are also really nice: should add that. Chefs there are very kind and grateful. Hopefully the waitstaff don't recognize me after posting this. I mean it's a five star review.
All I'm saying is if you go here expect Unwelcomed hospitality hahaha. Amazing food.“

“First time in a LONG TIME since we have eaten at Olive Garden. Atmosphere,food,and service were all excellent. LIsa went out of her way to make sure we got extra bread sticks,always hot and fresh from the oven. even extra to take home. AND A FREE TIRAMASUI FOR MY BIRTHDAY. Expect to return often, and always ask for Lisa.“

“We went there last night because Hendersonville/Gallatin lacks good Italian food. We decided to venture to Mt Juliet and give Meatballs a try!!! The atmosphere was great but the food was AMAZING!“

“I always come here, it’s quiet and even if your dining 1. I’m able to stop think for moment while eating good food. Today dinner was delicious. I had the spaghetti marinara with slices of pepperoni 🍕.“

“We went to Olive garden to celebrate my birthday and our server Chris was phenomenal!!! He went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of, gave us extra food when we didn't ask for it and was very personable with my fiance and I. Haven't seen this type of service in a long while and he definitely got the biggest tip I've ever paid out. From here on out we will always make sure Chris is our server.“

“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. 😋“

“My husband and I have been to many different restaurants throughout Nashville for weekly date nights, but Rosie’s by far is our favorite place to go. The food and drinks are AMAZING and the owners & staff are like family. You will not be disappointed.❤️“

“Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from, but my husband and I came here tonight and it was excellent! It was super warm, cozy and delicious! I had the Lasagna and it was so good! Definitely don’t skip out on the dessert— the Lemon Mascarpone and Cannoli were so good! We will definitely be back!“

“This was my first visit, and I was definitely not disappointed! Started with a garden salad with Italian vinaigrette dressing. Had meat lasagna as a main course then a slice of coconut cake for dessert. The portions were very generous, and the quality was top notch. Our server was very nice and prompt; she never let our drink cups to go empty. I will definitely be back!“

“We’ve been dining here every once in a while since we moved here two April’s ago. It’s my favorite restaurant in White House. Perfect for all different size groups. I love it most with just my parents because we can catch up in a really cool atmosphere with really amazing food.

Kid-friendliness: I’d say it’s pretty kid friendly. Parking is always accessible, they have decent high chairs, the staff are always very sweet to my kiddos. I try to have my kids eat what is available to them and they definitely have safe options for that. My son loves the pizza!“

“I can’t tell you how good this pizza was you just have to try it yourself I recommend trying the chicken pesto pizza and the chicken Alfredo, the workers are very nice and make sure you get the quality you deserve

Kid-friendliness: Went with my son and the workers gave him a high five“

“Pros: the service was excellent, the atmosphere is great because you are seated beside the beautiful atrium.
Cons: The menu is average for being a hotel restaurant, but a bit pricey for the quality of the food. While the burrata in the appetizer was delicious, all the items in the dish (including the roasted grapes and the focaccia) were served cold. The pizza crust was excellent but the pizza overall was quite salty. The main dishes were served within just a few minutes of having received the appetizer so we were juggling space and dishes to get it all on the table.
We probably wouldn't return for the food itself, but the servers, the atmosphere, and the location make it a good average option for a pre-Opry sit-down meal.“

“WOW, This is one of the best kept secrets around. I've been living here for years and didn't know what I was missing. I will be going back regularly now.😃“

“Delicious, fast, hot, and fresh! Highly recommend! I got the grinder and it was the best!“

“Best pizza in town. It is much better than any other pizza place around. My wife eats a pizza from the other places and it makes her sick. We have ordered pizzas from here and it doesn't make her sick. Will keep ordering from here. Doing to try some of the other items“

“Will be honest with you this store is one of the few which works till morning and do long distance delivery's also the food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection, and the service was really great, too“

“I placed a delivery order and it was delivered via slice, a pizza delivery service, the person who delivered my food order left my order on my front porch! There was no call or knock on my door to notify that my order had arrived! It didn't take long for the furry critters and my winged friends to find and help themselves to my food! This review does not reflect the restaurant at all, the manager apologized, called the 3rd party delivery service and secured my refund and refilled my order! Very nice!“

“Ordered this food after a concert at the Bridgestone arena via DoorDash. Y’all, this food is 10/10. We got Buffalo chicken pizza, lasagna, breadsticks, and salad. It got to our door within 30 min, AND it was very cheap. The food was hot, and DELICIOUS. I honestly don’t know why this page isn’t at 100% and have more likes. If you want good food, late at night, quick, definitely order here“

“Beautiful setting and one of the best pizza places in town. Upper level of the courtyard jungle/river area. Whenever I'm in Nashville I try to have a lunch here. Not expensive. Whole pie for like $25ish, not bad for being in the middle resort/convention center and feeds multiple people. Recommend the margarita pizza.

Parking: Avoid the resort parking and park in the near mall parking areas and walk in through the doors toward the mall. It's free but also closest to the restaurant, which is in the middle of the courtyard.“

“This pizza is hands-down my fav!!!!! I feel like it is my favorite pizza in this area. They are so delicious.

The ingredients are really good. It’s like the crust —the cheese— and the sauce are all perfectly placed and spread to equal the perfect pizza.

The crust is crispy the pepperoni are really crispy too which is something I love and all around it feels like quality ingredients because my stomach doesn’t gurgle afterwards—-L O L other places have left my stomach a little upset.“
