This may be the best place we have ever eaten in Nashville. The service. The vibe. The food. All superb! The garlic bread with cream cheese was divine! The salad was delicious. The risotto with lobster was tasty but the ricotta tortellini and the short rib with polenta was (and excuse the phrasing) orgasmic. Highly recommend 👌🏽

We sat at the chef's counter. It was SUPER cool to interact with the kitchen staff and watch the inner workings of a well run kitchen. Chef Ryan was super cool to chat with. On top of all this the food was FIRE!

We picked this spot in Nashville for our 3-year anniversary, hoping for a memorable, special evening. The atmosphere felt cozy and romantic, and the service was genuinely warm, attentive, and kind… the staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.
Unfortunately, the food turned out to be a major miss. We ordered the off-menu clam course, arancini, garlic bread, and goat cheese gnocchi. We also ordered drinks and I got an We also ordered drinks and I got a light red wine and my partner got a whiskey cocktail. The drinks were incredible And the appetizers were a whole lot better than the main entrees. Everything tasted extremely heavy and was overwhelmingly salty, like the seasoning had gone completely overboard. It wasn’t just “a bit too much”; it was so intense that every bite felt weighed down and unpleasant. We pushed through a little because we didn’t want to ruin the night, but we honestly couldn’t finish any of the plates.
Even before we left, we both started feeling very ill.. bloated, queasy, and off. We chalked it up to maybe overeating or the heaviness of the meal, but things got much worse overnight. We woke up in the morning in real pain: full-blown food poisoning with stomach cramps, nausea, and basically spending the entire day stuck in the bathroom.
It was miserable and completely took away any joy from what was supposed to be our celebration.
We totally get that things can go wrong in any kitchen, mistakes happen, and no place is flawless every single night. We’re not trying to be overly harsh. But when the food is so heavy and salty that it’s hard to eat, makes you feel sick right away, and then leaves two people laid out with serious food poisoning the next day… that’s more than just an off night. It’s deeply disappointing, especially on such a meaningful occasion for us.
The service team really tried and was lovely, which is the only reason this isn’t zero stars. But the kitchen side of things fell apart in a way that ruined our evening and left us physically unwell for a full day afterward. We’re genuinely bummed and won’t be returning.
We’d hesitate to recommend it until they get things sorted out.
Hoping it was truly a one-time thing and that other guests have a much better experience. Wishing the team the best in figuring it out

Loved the atmosphere and our waitress was incredible! Always refilling drinks and bringing us new plates and silverware with each course. Unfortunately I can’t say the food was up to par with the price or the level of expectations going in. All the courses we had were extremely salty to the point where it was slightly hard to finish the meal. The off menu pasta course with clams was so salty we took 2 bites and had the server take away the rest. Drinks were amazing and so dessert was 6/10 but not mind blowing. Unfortunately don’t think we will be going back but could have just been an off night for the chef.

Overall the food was amazing. The ricotta pasta was some of the best pasta I’ve had in Nashville. The garlic bread is a must get. The only thing that was a disappointment was that the caviar starter was served with a metal spoon. When I asked if they had a pearl spoon the said they did not. Changed the caviar taste for me which was a bummer since it was not a cheap item on the menu.

This spot was delish! Our favorites were garlic bread, the rigatoni bolognese, the risotto & the lemon huckleberry dessert!

Every dish was excellent. The menu rotates quite frequently, but it’s hard to go wrong. We had a fabulous salad, a delicious ricotta toast a filled pasta and risotto. All were exceptional. And desert is good too.

We always have a great time at Iggys. The pasta is fantastic, there is always something new to try, the drinks are creative, and the service is top notch. This time we were there for no decision Sundays and everything was awesome- it’s almost always enough food that we end up taking some home and savoring it for lunch the next day. Love having them in the neighborhood!

Nice people, quite expensive food - basically all pastas - that is good but does not justify the $100 per person after drinks.
