Staleys Chicago Italian Dining

Food was excellent. Went on a Sunday and the portions were large. The jalapeño poppers were excellent. Will definitely make this a recurring visit.

Recently stumbled upon this place. A great find. Had the Italian Beef and loved it. Good atmosphere and a fairly large menu. A good place to grab a sandwich and watch a game. Will be back!

The very first time I went to try this place was on Halloween evening and they had closed early for the rest of the evening so I decided I would go try it again the next week. The atmosphere was pretty cool. There was plenty of free parking. There are many places I don’t go to anymore downtown Nashville due to limited parking or pay parking. Free and easy parking is very attractive to me anywhere I dine. I ordered some chicken Parmesan and some cheese sticks and as I was eating, I noticed that their music had commercials in it so I’m guessing that they had Spotify, which was non-premium or something and a couple of times they had some digestive issue commercials come on, which weren’t very appetizing hearing about Indigestion and digestive infections so my suggestion would be to get something where it’s just music without commercials because you never know what they’re going to advertise in this case not appetizing to hear about colon problems and infections when you are dining inside a restaurant. The music which was classic rock was a good choice. I really liked the songs that they were playing but the commercials just really were over the top talking about stuff that you shouldn’t hear about why you’re eating was not appetizing at all. Atmosphere is important when you are dining in a restaurant. When I received the food, they did not have any spaghetti or were out of it for the chicken Parmesan so they offered a fettuccine noodle alternative. The fettuccine noodles were very bland. Tasted very watery. The meal came with a garlic bread that was didn’t have much flavor to it. I couldn’t really taste the garlic, another flavor issue. The chicken was OK to eat, but just the overall dish lacked flavor. The cheese sticks were a little too crunchy on the outside, apparenyly were cooked too long. Overall experience just not what I expected. I think with a few improvements in flavoring and getting commercial free music in the restaurant for the dining room would be a huge improvement. Definitely need to work on some flavoring, I think this place could really be something with a few changes, but from my November 2025 experience it just is just kind of mediocre. I did enjoy trying it though.
