26 Best Italian Restaurants near Hermitage

“A friend took me there for lunch today. First visit for both of us. The food was fantastic and we ended up bringing half of our dishes home. Priced very well and authentic Italian! Service was great and very fast! Highly recommend you give it a try!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“We’d worked hard and decided to try an Italian place we hadn’t tried before. We chose Salento Italia and what a good move! The service by Taylor was superb and the spaghetti with cauliflower was delish and my husband’s shrimp scampi was yummy too! Great place!!!“

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

“Las pizzas están deliciosas !“

“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.“

“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. 😋“

“The quail tonight was phenomenal!“

“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 🍕.“

“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“

“It’s absolutely the best pizza in Southern Nashville and it’s cheaper than most commercial spots like Domino’s.“

“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 feel like the staff is family and truly love that they exist in Hendersonville. Keep up the good work - you guys are great.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I went to a Daou vineyards wine class last night. The food and wine were amazing. Their house bubbly is fantastic! The staff did an excellent job making sure everyone was comfortable and had a good time. The chef and owner came to check on us numerous times. I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait for another class! 10/10! 5 ⭐️“
