    Caesar Salad
    Stephanie R.

    The food us unbelievable! Some of the best pasta I've had hands down! The only down side is the day we were visiting from Kentucky and stumbled on this gem it was over 100 degrees! Way to hot to eat outside, but the seating inside was lacking to say the least. They do have patio seating if the weather cooperates!

    Ziti Alla Vodka
    Kimberly M.

    This tiny place delivers big flavors! We love the ziti in vodka sauce. It's probably some of the best I've ever had. The meatballs are tender and tasty. The chicken parm sandwich and the hand cut fries are worth every bite. Even if you get a bunch of pasta, order the sandwich and cut it into quarters to share. Our delivery was perfect. Everything was hot and fresh when it arrived.

    Not impressed by the food. Unfortunately the pasta was a little bland and the Italian beef sandwich didn't have much flavor either. The service was great and friendly. I didn't like how there is no free parking on a major road.

    Ceasar salad

    I had chicken ceasar salad with rosemary chicken and WOW. absolutely delicious lettuce was so fresh and finally chopped. The dressing was addicting, nice thick, shaved Parmesan and some of the best croutons I've ever had service was amazing reasonably priced and large portions will be back.

    Build-Your-Own with Spinach Fettuccine, Arrabbiata, beef meatballs, basil and parmesan with a side of foccacia

    If you're looking for delicious, authentic Italian food then Nicoletto's is the place to stop. The night before the Rock 'n' Roll Half-Marathon, our group was looking for a place to carb up. My niece recommended Nicoletto's as one of her favorite places for pasta, and she was spot on. This small, family owned restaurant makes their own pasta and marinara sauce, and attention to detail is evident. With nine different types of pasta to choose from, you can go with what you know or venture out and try a noodle you may need to Google. This place was hopping on a Friday night, with a line out the door and take out orders being moved at a hare's pace. There is bar seating inside and several tables out. This is not fast food, so be prepared for a bit of wait, but that's what beer is for. I ordered the Build A Pasta Bowl, which is a great way to explore different textures and flavors. My choices were Spinach Fettuccine with Arrabbiata sauce, beef meatballs, basil and parmesan. All bowls come with a side of Foccacia. The fettuccine was thick and tender, the Arrabbiata sauce had a nice zing and the meatballs were generously sized. The entire dish was hefty, filling and very flavorful. Exactly what we needed.

    We had dinner here because one of our tour guides from an earlier tour we took recommended it. We stopped by around 7:45pm and we were the only ones there. We looked over the menu for a few minutes and a friendly employee finally came on over to greet us and take our orders. My sister had the Gnocchi Bolognese and I created my own pasta bowl. I chose the Radiatori pasta with Arrabbiata sauce and beef meatballs and both entrees came with bread. We sat down to eat inside because it was way too cold outside. We waited about 10 - 15 minutes for our food and it was brought on over to us by another friendly employee. At this time, another group of people came in to dine. My pasta was delicious. The pasta was cooked al dente - just like I like it and the sauce was sooo good. It had so much flavor. The bread had a nice crisp to it and it was not at all dry. The meatballs were plentiful and they also tasted really good. My sister was not a fan of her Gnocchi Bolognese and said it wasn't a good mixture. It was too mushy for her and she did not like the taste of the sauce. The inside was clean and the music was great. The bathroom was also very clean. Overall good food and great service, thank you!

    A love letter, a thank you, and a heartbroken goodbye to one of Nashville's most important…read morerestaurants. For those unfamiliar: Margot Cafe & Bar opened on June 5, 2001, and will close its doors exactly 25 years later on June 5, 2026. Chef Margot McCormack gave Nashville a full year's notice, so this isn't a sudden gut-punch closing; it's a chef going out on her own terms, after a quarter century of running a beloved restaurant. Bittersweet, but graceful. (Still not over the closing of sister restaurant & cozy brunch spot Marché, which shuttered in June 2020, an early local dining casualty during the pandemic.) If you haven't read Steve Cavendish's excellent essay "Dish Network" (featured in Greetings from New Nashville, a collection of essays edited by another local, Steve Haruch), do yourself a favor and pick it up. It lays out exactly what Margot meant to this city: how her opening was the lightning rod that shifted Nashville's dining scene from a sea of chain restaurants to the chef- and ingredient-driven landscape that ultimately earned three local spots Michelin recognition in the inaugural South ceremony this fall. I came in one last time for dinner and one last time for brunch this past week. Brunch has always been my favorite here, and sitting at the bar earlier this week was unlike any other meal I've had in Nashville. The seats around me were filled with locals, many wearing nostalgic Margot merch, who had come as solo diners for one last meal. Strangers were reminiscing with each other and with the staff about what this place has meant to them. It was the kind of communal, slightly teary, genuinely warm experience you can't manufacture; it only happens at a restaurant that has truly been part of a city's fabric for decades, and we're collectively grieving that loss. A conversation topic that kept coming up across both of my visits is something I'm honestly still wrestling with: so many wonderful restaurants have opened in Nashville since Margot first paved the way, but very few are doing it the way Margot does. The menu truly changes every day. It's hyperlocal, ingredient-driven, based on whatever came in that morning. When I came in for brunch, the bartender told me to nix the strawberries listed on the printed menu in favor of farm-fresh blueberries because that was literally what had been brought in that morning. For dinner, I had a pappardelle (sourced from another excellent local spot: Mr. Aaron's Goods) with gigante beans in a garlicky, comforting sauce that I am genuinely still dreaming about almost a week later. Paired it with a dry pinot gris, on a rainy night, it was pure cozy magic. I can't tell you exactly what to order if you're lucky enough to snag one of the final reservations, because by the time you get there the menu will be different. But that's the whole point. That's the Margot ethos. Margot has always been comfort food, friendship, and celebrating local to me. I'm heartbroken to see it end, but so, so grateful for the inimitable legacy Margot leaves behind for the Nashville restaurant scene to follow. Thank you, Chef Margot, for everything you've given this city.

    We said probably our last goodbye to this wonderful French- inspired restaurant. We made a…read morereservation for 2 on a Saturday at 8:15 & were sat right about then. Self-parking is always hard, but we always manage to find free street parking a couple blocks away. Service was kind & attentive & we ordered the focaccia & olive oil, Italian sausage, steak, duck, & Eton mess. The quality was outstanding & everything was cooked & seasoned perfectly. Ambience was intimate & casual but crowd & volume level picked up surprisingly as the night got later. Overall, highly recommend if you can manage to snag a reservation before they close in early June!

    Frankie's -- Our New Go-To Italian Restaurant!…read more 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!

The Bianca bread has nice flavor, but ours was rather charred. The meat and cheese plate is a good sampling for 2-3. The seasonal pasta with Tennessee was delicious but overly salty. I wanted the corn to shine a bit more, but the crunchy prosciutto takes over. The cavatelli with spicy sausage is a rich, oily dish with gummy texture. I wouldn't get that dish again. Dessert was a perfect end. The peach cake is not too sweet, while the chocolate tort is rich and happy. Service was great, and the interior is refined, warm, and restrained.
