33 Best Italian Restaurants near Hendersonville

“Great place for one on one encounters and the monthly wine tasting dinners.“

“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!“

“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.❤️“

“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“

“Food is always very good and ready when ordered for. The staff moves the orders out quickly and are very nice. I wish this location was not where it is as the strip mall is run down and looks like the last few tornadoes have not been kind. It is also a nightmare to pull out onto 31 from the parking lot unless you’re going right to Nashville. Definitely a great pizza joint though.“

“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.“

“Just had lunch for the first time here… Had the Baked Pasta and let me say the food was delicious atmosphere so cute and the owner and employees where wonderful… everyone should check this place out you will not be dissapointed😊“

“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“

“First time dining today. I’d have to say the BEST ragu sauce I have ever had. Food was DELICIOUS. We would recommend that the pasta be served with some bread. Not because you need the extra food but because you need it as a tool to eat every last drop of the sauce. Definitely recommend“

“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.“

“Tired of greasy, mass produced pizza, say less.Fayzano’s pizza is straight 🔥 ! The staff is so kind and friendly. Do yourself a favor and on your next pizza night, make Fayzano’s your choice.“

“A great local quick eat place. Love it!“

“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. 😋“

“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“

“The quail tonight was phenomenal!“

“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 🍕.“

“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.“

“The stromboli and pasta were amazing. The service was fantadtic. We drove 45 minutes to eat there and we will be returning!!“

“Stopped here on a whim and we will definitely be back! The specials were bang for buck. Even a normal slice of Pepperoni is loaded and massive! The salad was great, the pizza crust was stellar; light crispy, crunchy. We even thought the macaroons were great and worth every penny. Great service, fast, friendly, affordable and delish! Yum! Who knew Nashville has pizza like this??? Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5“

“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.“

“We went today and Kayla was our server. She exemplifies what good Customer Service is. She was amazing in every way and we didn’t have to wait on a thing. We didn’t have to ask for refills. She was on top of service to the fullest with a smile on her face and delightful attitude. Food was amazing as always., melt in your mouth pizza. Garlic knots are perfection. Good large salad portions. This is the second time I’ve been but the first time I’ve taken my husband and he is absolutely in love with this place. The atmosphere is very romantic and private. It’s not loud. Good for families too. Hostess was nice on arrival. We will come back again and again and sending anyone I can tell, to this place. Thanks for another great meal, great service and experience.“

“The restaurant was very clean. It had a very romantic atmosphere. The staff was great punctual nice the food was very good. I got the gluten-free noodles with marinara sauce. Wonderful the chicken Alfredo perfect. Highly recommended give them a try.

“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!“

“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.“

“There was a very large crowd of us the staff was friendly and very helpful.“

“I LOVE their food! However their COUPON policy is not good! Mailings are sent out with promo codes but you can NOT use them for ONLINE orders. Coupons must be presented in person for use! I’m not sure why they even mail them out.“

“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“

“Went and checked out this location with wife a few weeks ago. Decent location, clean store, but everything else left a lot to be desired. Bartender was fantastic but most of the menu was missing. Online menu was completely inaccurate and the kitchen was 86ed on all beef items as well as seafood, so we settled for an average charcuterie board and some chicken tenders. I am disappointed because I had such high hopes for this place.“

“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.😃“

“Today was our first experience at Alberto’s! It certainly will not be our last. The atmosphere of a romantic and beautiful cafe’ with such an elegance! My husband ordered Curry Chicken sandwich with spinach potato soup. I ordered Quiche Lorraine that came with a house salad. Everything was delicious! I included pictures so you can see! Btw, we had the sweetest server!“

“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.“
