KITCHEN SUPER CLEAN, EMPLOYEES ARE SUPER NICE AND CLEAN. I?m a big fan of this restaurant and a forever costumer. Read more

This was our first time here and it was terrible. Although out server was very nice, the food sucked. The reviews were very good... so we trusted it but ended up having a terrible experience. The food was bland, We had stomach aches instantly. My boyfriend had2 bites of his food and he was done. We like to eat and we couldn?t finish the food. The pasta was bland and the pizza/food wasthe worst ive ever had at a restaurant. Had high hopes since we recently moved here. We will not be back. We would not recommendthis spot. Read more

What a cute spot tucked away in West Nashville! The strawberry bellini was delicious. We ordered the pesto crepes, shrimp scampi... and a salad and it was all wonderful. Read more

My daughter and I stopped in for a late lunch today and were pleasantly surprised. The exterior of the building gives no... indication of the wonderful food served inside. We were greeted immediately upon entering and brought to our table. The livepiano music was a nice touch and added to the atmosphere. It was shortly after 1 and we inquired about Sunday brunch, but alas,it was not available. Our server was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations - you could tell by thelook in his eye that his recommendations weren't rote but rather things he enjoyed eating. He also asked about dietarypreferences or requirements. Well done. After careful consideration we ordered the Crepes Florentine and a margherita pizza.Again, we were asked how we would like the pizza cooked, that was a first and well worth it. The wait for the food was a bitlong, but not interminable and knowing that every item was prepared from scratch, it was worth it. While waiting, we were ableto enjoy some delicious bread and an olive oil dipping sauce. Portions were large, food was excellent. We had hoped to havesome gelato for dessert but were full before we finished our meals. There's always next time. Read more

Wow. Absolutely blown away by how unassuming this restaurant looks from the outside, and coming in and eating food created by a... chef who truly cares about perfecting his dishes, having drinks made a bartender who is skilled at his craft, and having aserver who is attentive and kind and goes the extra mile. I highly, highly recommend this place for anybody looking forauthentic Italian food created by a chef who knows what he is doing. The price of the food and drinks were very reasonable, andthe dessert is just the icing on top (try the tiramisu, you won't regret it). I have to say this is one of my favorite Italianrestaurants in Nashville, and you will not be disappointed by whatever you order here. The service, food, and drinks are all onpoint here. Read more
