“great pizza we go to the gallatin store most.“

“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😊“

“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!!!“

“We had dinner here tonight. Good ambiance and excellent service. We enjoyed the fettuccini, pesto and rigatoni. ♥️“

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

“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“

“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. 😋“

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

“Great service and food“

“Great pizza in Nashville. Perfect crust and great taste. Plenty of choices“

“Great food, incredible. Being from IL, this place makes TN feel just like home, I love coming here for dinner. Please refresh your business hours, very confusing. Your web site says 7pm then on google it says 8pm…. Thank you for the best food this side of the Mississippi!!! ❤️🍕“

“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“

“Frankie’s — Our New Go-To Italian Restaurant!

Frankie’s is definitely not a restaurant you want to judge by its cover. Walking in, we honestly didn’t have the highest expectations—but our perspective changed very quickly!

The service was friendly, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Our waitress walked my wife through the cocktail options, while the sommelier offered to take our bottle of wine and chill it in their cellar. Those little touches made a great first impression.

And the food? An absolute 10!

As our waitress highlighted the menu, I asked if they had bruschetta. They didn’t, but she suggested combining two dishes to create our own—and we did! Their Heirloom Tomato Salad was fantastic, especially paired with their olive oil. The flavor was terrific.

For our main courses, my wife ordered the Tennessee Corn Ravioli with Crispy Prosciutto, and I had the Cavatelli with Hot Sausage and Browned Sage Butter. Both were absolutely fantastic.

Since moving here, we’ve been looking for our “go-to” Italian restaurant—and we found it!

Overall, we couldn’t have been happier. The food was a 10/10, and the service and care from our waitress and the management were excellent.

We’ll be back over and over and over!

Our only suggestion: as the sun sets, several tables get hit with direct sunlight. A little shade would make the experience even better and keep guests from getting blinded during dinner. 😎

But that’s a very small issue compared with how great everything else was. Frankie’s is a winner!“

“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 🍕.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We ordered the mixed burrito, the double smash burger with everything, 8 piece wings (honey hot and lemon pepper) and a gyro plate.

mixed burrito- Giffin's review: I would have enjoyed it more because I didn't know that cilantro was in it. (but that was my fault for not asking) the rice was delicious and all the flavors worked really well together. So big I couldn't finish it all. 8/10

smash burger - Lewis' review: cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion. AMAZING and satisfying. Fries were hot and crispy. I would drive out of my way to get this again. Thank goodness I live near by. 18M/10

Chicken wings - My review: hot honey and lemon pepper. They were a bit on the small side, but MAN they are delicious!!! I got the dry lemon pepper seasoning, but Mr. Wiz was trying to convince me to get the sauce. I'm gonna do that next time. :0) I will surely order these again! 10/10

Gyro Pate - My review: warm, flavorful, and comforting. Rice was nice and fluffy, gyro was tender, salad was very fresh. 9/10

Mr. Wiz is a delightful person. It seems like he never meets a stranger. He took great care of us and we will be back again, not only to order more tasty food, but to see our new friend again, Mr. Wiz.“

“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 was born and raised in Sicily, and I can confidently say that Tutti Da Gio is the most authentic Italian (Sicilian) food I’ve ever had here. The freshness of each ingredient is on another level. If you want to have a taste of Italy, come here. Plus, it’s a family owned business and their story is inspiring. Each dish is made with love (the one that makes our cuisine and culture unique). You can absolutely taste that at Tutti Da Gio. I highly recommend this place.“

“Delicious food, great service!“

“We ordered a pie last night for delivery to our hotel room. It was one of the best cheese pizzas I had in a while, and delivered so quickly (less than 20 minutes) no complaints at all and we will order again next time we are in town.“

“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 ⭐️“

“Ian was my server today, and treated me as if I was Queen for the Day. That young man has truly impressed me today, and he's a fantastic server!

I'll be coming back and asking specifically for him again! Thank you Olive Garden, Leslie Hunt“

“It was close to our hotel, so we decided to give it a go. My dining companion had the stuffed chicken marsala; I had fettuccine alfredo with broccoli. We availed ourselves mightily of the endless salad and breadsticks. Our server was friendly and kept our drinks filled.

Was it a 5-star dining experience? No. Was it a 5-star experience for the Olive Garden? What can I say, it was the Olive Garden.“

“Best Gyros in Nashville. I love the Gyro meat here, but the Chicken and Tabbouleh are the stars of the show. Fresh Ingredients and excellent seasonings. Wonderful people--Wonderful service--excellent food. It's a harming hole-in-the-wall--truly a Murfreesboro Road TREASURE.“

“Ordered delivery for a hotel. Asked for extra plates and napkins and didn't get any. Pizza took awhile to receive about 20 minutes past what we were told but was hot and very good. Sauce is kinda sweet. Italian sub was okay, kind of dry. Boneless wings didn't have very much sauce.“
