28 Best Italian Restaurants near Hermitage

“My girlfriend and I were vacationing in Tennessee recently, and as we are from New Jersey, we definitely love our Italian food! Eating here definitely reminded us of home and we enjoyed every bite. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who is looking for an amazing meal and a great atmosphere.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Las pizzas están deliciosas !“

“I am a ny girl and let me tell you I never found ny pizza in tn that taste like home it was amazing will be back and the pizza size were huge and everyone was so friendly my new favorite place“

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

“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 🍕.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“You can taste the love in every slice. I’ve been eating these pies for years and they have always been incredible. Top quality ingredients and perfect crust. Best pizza in town. I can’t wait until the new gulch location opens, I will be there almost daily for a slice.“

“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.“

“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.❤️“

“The food was excellent. We will 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!“

“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.“
