Stayed in Nashville for the weekend and ordered take out from Nicoletto's. I was blown away by how quick my food was delivered and by how delicious the food was. It is so fresh and authentic, their chicken parm is amazing. Definitely going to keep eating here when in Nashville. read more

Delicious fresh italian pastas and bread straight out of your grandmothers kitchen. The fresh focaccia bread is to die for. Service was fast and you can taste that the food was made with love. They run a lot of specials and deals on Uber eats so if you are planning to grab something to go, it's always worth a look! I got the vodka sauce which was incredible. Just the right amount of spice. I love that you can also build your own pasta bowl with tons of different protein options. 10/10 will be back :) read more

I've ordered Uber Eats from Nicoletto's several times (the fall sweet potato gnocchi is the BEST) but this was my first time dining in the East location. I can't recommend it enough! The staff gave great recommendations, the food was fresh, and service was fast (even during the lunch rush!) I tried the new Ziti Alla Vodka, and I'll 100% be getting it again. The rich sauce has the perfect amount of spice, and your pasta comes with a slice of warm focaccia as well. My friend tried the Build-Your-Own Pasta Bowl and loved the meatballs with pink sauce. I'll have to try it next time! The restaurant has a great ambience, and both indoor and outdoor seating. I sat on the patio, which is beautiful on a sunny day! I do have to say it can get kind of loud because there's a car wash directly to the right of the restaurant, but it was still a very nice experience. I'll be going back again to get some Tiramisu! read more

Nicoletto's in Nashville has some of the best pasta I've ever had. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and you can tell they put a lot of care into every dish. The portions were great, the service was friendly, and the overall experience was amazing. Definitely one of my new favorite spots in Nashville and I'll be coming back again soon. read more

The food is great for a quick service Italian. My favorite is the chicken Parmesan. The portions are large and I'm able to get 2 meals out of it. The decor is cute and reminds me of Italian shops. read more

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. read more

Food was great! Service was awesome! They took amazing care of us. Lots of great options. The outdoor ambiance was good. I wish we had this near us at home. read more

I loved the garlic linguine, Alfredo, and mushroom bowl. Truly amazing! The staff was super kind!

Consistently the worst customer service. It's a shame because I really enjoy their pasta and dishes, but the service is bad enough that I will not be going back. I've had the best luck at the window, just saying my name and picking up a to-go order. But over the years, every single time I go inside to order, the staff is short, impatient, rushing you, rude tone with their customers. Personally I've always felt like I am a massive inconvenience/annoyance to the staff every time I go in; it's just not worth it. read more

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. read more

I had the spaghetti bowl with Alfredo sauce and porcini mushrooms. It was delicious. I didn't know what to expect here and was a bit surprised at either eating at a bar inside or tables outside. My daughter and son in law both loved their food and my daughter ordered some pasta to go home with. My wife had the chicken Parmesan Sando and shared a bite with me. It was great also. Really good Italian food. read more

I have driven by this little restaurant hundreds of times ... and each time I've thought "Hmm I bet they have pretty good pasta." We finally ordered takeout from Nicoletto's on a cold, winter night when neither me nor my husband felt like cooking, and we were impressed! I placed a delivery order through UberEats - and was excited to see that they had a special running for a free cannoli when you spend $30! With two pasta dishes, we easily met that minimum. Our food was delivered quickly and packaged with care. My husband stuck to the classics - spaghetti and meatballs. And indeed, meatballs are where Nicoletto's shines. You can tell that they're handcrafted, and cooked to perfection. When paired with their zesty marinara sauce, you're hit with a rush of nostalgia. I tried the spaghetti with the Arrabbiata (spicy) sauce and sausage and peppers. The sauce definitely packed some heat - and I would order it again! However, I'd probably pass on the sausage next time, and add on extra meatballs instead. Their cannoli was the perfect sweet bite to wrap up a memorable meal. Thank you to the Nicoletto's team for being such a tasty takeout option in our neighborhood! read more

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. read more

Great food! Pasta was extremely fresh and everything was homemade including the sauces and bread! Service was awesome also, we did an order take out and everything was labelled for a very large order and they even threw in extra bread and a caprese salad! Absolutely delicious! read more

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! read more

We always ordered for delivery so we cannot vouch for the ambiance in the restaurant. Service is good & when placing the order online was simple. Food is great especially the vodka sauce with peppers and onions delicious, but you have to show ID when ordering this sauce. read more

We've had lots of good food from very unassuming eateries over the years and this place definitely fits that description. However, the food isn't good...it's great!! When we walked in and found out there wasn't "sit-down" seating, we almost walked away. However, the smells coming from the kitchen were amazing. Everything we had was amazing!! All their pastas are homemade and you build your own entre' from various sauce options, proteins, etc. I chose the gnocchi with bolognese and it was perfect!! The tiramisu was the best I've ever had. The manager, Wayne, was very nice and came out to the patio to check on us. He even brought us two complimentary cannolis. Speaking of the staff, Chris who took our orders at the register was very friendly (like everyone else we met in N'ville). Don't let the exterior fool you, this little kitchen puts out some spectacular Italian food!!! Pro tip: parking can be a challenge. Try not to park down the way in the pay lot - $18 / 2 hrs. Park along the little driveway beside the front porch or in the back (under the trees)...it's free. This place does a huge take-out business!! read more

I'll just start with the quality. The Italian meat sauce with my Chicken Parmesan and my wife's Rigatoni was more like hot dog sauce than Italian. Also the price was high for what we ordered. We will not be repeat customers. This was the Gallatin road location. read more

I've been frequenting Nashville TN for the past 3 years now. I have family and work here, and my little brother took me to Nicolettos for lunch. And when I tell you, I cried the first time I had their buffalo Mac and cheese bowl?! Oh my absolute goodness!!!! Now, every time I come into town, even if it's just stopping thru, I ALWAYS grab some to-go meals. Preferably 3 or more so I have food for when I get home, cuz ones getting eatin on the way home lol LOVE YOU NICOLETTOS!!! Best Italian in NASHVILLE! read more

Nicoletto's Italian Kitchen - Buffalo Chicken Mac - Italian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This place is fantastic. We were visiting from out of town and had fresh pasta. The flavors are so fresh. The service was great. They were very nice there. We even bought some pasta to take home. It is mainly a carry out place but they have some bar seating and a patio outside to eat there. Would definitely come back here again. read more

I'm so sad. Nicolettos was our fav go to take out spot in east Nashville and we hadn't had it in about 10 months. However today I ordered bolognese which was awful. No flavor. It was a pile of meat with no sauce. It honestly felt like they browned beef and put it on top of my pasta. My husband got the chicken parm and even that lacked a lot of flavor. Not sure what happened but we miss it! read more

Ordered chicken Parmesan on Uber eats and I got bolognese spaghetti, no chicken Parmesan. On top of that, it was gross! Not impressed at all. read more

Great build your own bowls so awesome, chicken parm a plus. Spinach fettuccini great. It's a pain to park but the great food worth the inconvenience. read more

At this point my job should just send my paycheck to Nicoletto's because I go spend it here anyway. I normally build my own bowl and get a tiramisu as well. Good golly is this place delicious. They're fairly generous with their portion size as well. It's a little small so can't really sit inside but there are some seats! They're normally friendly and very helpful. read more

When in town this is a good stop. I went by the newer location. I like the drive up situation, feels pretty timeless. The person at the window pronounced my last name correctly. The food here is as good as the original location. Its a great spot. Italian food is really hard to come by in the south. I would eat here 2-3 days a week if I lived near it. Meatball sandwich. high marks. green chili Mac. high marks. I think the bread was pretty ok too. read more

I don't consider myself a pasta expert by any means. I do, however, know a good meal when I have one. My boyfriend and I visited Nicoletto's for the first time on Valentine's Day. I nearly squealed with delight when we walked in to fresh pasta as far as the eye could see! The pasta was so fresh, the chicken was flavorful and moist, and the pink sauce has been on my mind for a week straight. Don't even get me started on the deliciously salty focaccia. I simply cannot stop thinking about this meal. The man who took our order was helpful in our making decision about what to add to our bowls of pasta, and did it with a smile. A nice touch was the cool music playing that had all patrons (and staff) singing along. Will certainly be taking friends and family from out of town here. read more

The gnocchi with pink sauce, mushrooms, & grilled veggies is my new go-to comfort food. Literally the most yummy pink sauce I've ever gotten & the gnocchi is perfect!! I love this spot for takeout. I recommend extra sauce if you get this dish! Makes it better when I reheat it when I have it for more than 1 meal. read more

"What do we have here?!?" So, I'm passing through Nashville and I searched vegan and found the gem! They have vegan meatballs, fresh pasta, excellent flavored sauce and several toppings lukewarm, crimini mushrooms , broccoli and onions that made this dish divine! Plus a fresh piece of focaccia. Oh ya, they asked if I wanted fresh parm and basil, "yes, I do, thank you."...one notch above divine. 5/5 Might be a 4.5/5 if you are on budget...they were kinda pricey. read more

I happened to be on this side of town and wanted something new! I absolutely fell in love with this place ‍ The server explained all of the noodle choices, toppings and flavors perfectly to someone that had no clue where to start. The restaurant itself was a cute blend of cafe/lounge area with throwback rocker music. The food was cheap, the vibes were great and this restaurant is somewhere I highly recommend you eat if you haven't! read more

Nicoletto's was so good I downloaded Yelp solely for the purpose of leaving a five star review. The staff are EXTREMELY friendly and VERY helpful. Our server was EJ and that man needs a raise. He was so patient and fun, and he gave us the best restaurant experience. He even gave us a free order of cookies. The food is PHENOMENAL. I had a pasta bowl and that was the first big meal I've finished in a long time because I just couldn't get enough of it. 10/10 ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! read more

Knowing that its a specialty pasta place, I was not very impressed by the pasta menu, options and the taste. Not very intrigued to go back. read more

Great spot for some good Italian food to go. Pasta made locally and daily. The staff was also very friendly. I got the chicken parm sandwich and my friend got the green chili macaroni and cheese with meatballs. We were very pleased and had no complaints! I was honestly surprised at how good this food was. This is definitely gonna be one of my new go to spots . read more

The best pasta! The make your own pasta bowl is a great value too. I love getting takeout from here, but I'm also eaten at the east Nashville location. It doesn't have a ton of seating. No tables, just barstools and a counter. I've tried lots of the sauces and each one has been great! I love Nicoletto's. read more

LOVE this Italian spot in East, so authentic! We appreciated the quality and reasonable pricing. We split the chicken parm & feel in love with the delightful goodness. The service was so friendly and relatively fast. The decor is so cute and Italian! The only challenges may be the parking & limited seating options, we were lucky to find a spot on the street & to get the indoor bar seating. Depending upon circumstances, it be easier to pick up and go! Highly recommend & totally worth figuring out parking and seating! read more

Delicious fresh pasta options! Very good desserts as well. I always order ahead for pickup, but there is limited seating inside and outside.

First time in Nashville and I stopped at Nicoletto's to grab some lunch and wow! You can't eat there so we took everything to go. I had the pasta bowls with the bolognese sauce and another with the pink sauce and beef meatballs. The pink sauce was like nothing I've ever had before - it was so delicious. The bolognese was also amazing. Overall it's great pasta and the staff was very friendly. I ended up taking some pasta and sauce home to NY to recreate a dish - it's that good . read more

After a friend advised me that their green chili Mac + cheese is the best, I treated myself to takeout w / added vegan meatballs + extra cheese sauce. 1000000/10, Nicoletto's! I've been missing my hometown / family's Mac + cheese since moving here and this stuff is now going to be my addiction. I can't wait to try more things on the menu! Edit: I went back for a second time this week, and tried the classic Mac + Cheese. Also incredible! But the STAR of the show is that banana caramel cake w/ cream cheese frosting - That is simply the best piece of cake I have ever eaten in my life. I'd like to thank a friend for my new addiction to Nicoletto's read more

Ordered spaghetti and meatballs from uber eats. 30 minutes later Nicolette's calls and says they ran out of meatballs. What? Said we will substitutes and I pick sausage. After it arrives it's sausage loaded with onions that I didn't order. Total fail. Horrible meal and experience read more

I have tried this place in the past, and it seemed to be decent--I don't remember too much one way or another. However, tonight, I had an order of spaghetti and meatballs delivered via a third-party app, and I have to say it was probably the worst pasta dish I have ever attempted to eat in my life. I have had food from mediocre chain Italian places that tasted like a Michelin star experience by comparison. First off, I thought they made their pasta in-house, but this tasted like Kroger brand spaghetti. On top of that, I absolutely hated the flavor of the sauce. Instead of their house-made marinara as described, I somehow got a mediocre Arrabbiata sauce--and I was NOT in the mood for spice. The worst part of this dish, however, was the dry and disgusting meatballs that had zero flavor and tasted like they were made out of very low-grade meat. The food was so gross that I started to feel sick to my stomach and couldn't eat it. Thank goodness a piece of bread was included (the only redeeming aspect here), because otherwise, I would have waited an hour for delivery food that was supposed to take 10-15 minutes and still been ridiculously hungry. At least I got a couple of bites of plain bread out of the ordeal. My guess is that this company started out doing things the right way and, like many businesses after opening a second location, decided to cut the quality of their ingredients and recipes to save on costs. So, I guess we can blame capitalism. Honestly, though? Skip this spot. If you can't find something authentic, you would have better luck at the Olive Garden (I cringe while typing this). read more
