“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“

“I ordered the Baked Ziti with marinara sauce and it was delicious! It was a pretty good size, I got half way through before i got full. Best part was I had no idea it came with a salad and 2 breadsticks! Great surprise! The salad was so fresh tasting with onions and tomatoes. I loved it.“

“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“

“The quail tonight was phenomenal!“

“Have been looking for restaurant that has similar taste to what Italy has. We ordered the Marinated olives, bread and meat balls as appetizer, flat iron steaks and finished with tiramisu. Everything was delicious! The olives were so good that I bought a jar of them to bring home. Will be back!!!“

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

“My daughter and I just shared a pizza at Fayzano's. It was delicious! The service was fantastic, pizza came out quickly and their prices were reasonable. Thank you for a great lunch!“

“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. 😋“

“First time in a LONG TIME since we have eaten at Olive Garden. Atmosphere,food,and service were all excellent.

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

“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 🍕.“

“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“

“It's has been one of the best Olive Garden's I have ate at. I'm seated within 5 minutes walking in. My server, MJ, is awesome. I don't have to ask him anything, he just does it! My experiences have been at 10/10. I usually come after work around 4:00 pm.“

“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.“

“Finally a 5 star feedback! Excellent service and foods. My wife took the special, beef tips, spaghetti in a spicy sauce! I had rigatoni in a creamy mushroom sauce. We shared the salad. Server was Stecker...top notch!!

Cloth napkins!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Customer service was spectacular, Osama was a pleasure to work with. They blew my mind with how amazing the pizza was!

I would come back here in a heartbeat.

The crust was fluffy and the veggie pizza was spectacular“

“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.😃“

“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.“

“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.“
