The spot is in an old building in the middle of the entertainment district (Lower Broad area). It has a small outside seating area, for when it is not a sauna, Inside there is a nice sized bar, if you are just seeking a drink. They are known for their mac & cheese, which I have never tried in all of the times I have been to the Stillery. Very creamy, cheesy mac & cheese. The Nashville hot chicken has a nice spice to it. A bit mild for the serious hot chicken fans, but the flavor is there. The chicken tenders are fairly standard. And the crinkle fries are mid. I enjoyed both of the drinks. At $14.50, they are at least $1.50 less than the standard Broadway cocktails in the star bars, so iti s a less expensive option to get a drink. I don't think they ever have live music, unlike some others here, so you are going for the food, not the noise. Service was great, as always. The staff is always prompt and knows their menu. It is more bar food and the menu is limited, but what they do, they do well.

Service was…read moreexcellent -- our bartender/server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made the experience even better. The atmosphere was really cool, though we chose to sit outside since it was a little dark and loud inside. The pizza was the real standout -- easily better than 95% of the pizza spots in Nashville, and I say that as someone who eats pizza at least once a week. The pies are huge, and the buttery flavor in the cheese makes them absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be back, and this place will probably become a regular spot for my son and me.

I had the frozen jalapeño peach margarita and I can't recommend it enough!! It was genuinely perfect. They also had a fun lineup in the frozen machine, including a Transfusion, frosé, and a frozen espresso martini. We grabbed a couple slices (cheese and pepperoni), and both were exactly what you want for a late-night slice. I'll definitely be back to try more...the specialty pies look AMAZING. The "Sweet Heat" with honey and jalapeños is already at the top of my list. The bartenders checked on us often and answered any questions we had. I loved the covered patio and open atmosphere. There's plenty of seating and TVs to catch a game as well. It's a great place for a good drink and solid late night slice!

Honest travel dining experience: If we were locals, we'd be regulars here. 5/5 best focaccia I can…read moresay we've EVER had. Tap in below: Traveling to the south you wouldn't expect a local spot like Nashville to carry some of the best focaccia, but just the traditional garlic and balsamic will leave you impressed. Flavors so pure and a bread just crispy to the bite and soft as you expect a perfectly crafted bread like this. -Focaccia: 5/5 Texturally perfect. Crispy outer with a soft and spongy inner. Complimented extremely well with any pairing crafted in the restaurant. The focaccia with garlic and balsamic was the perfect first bite to guide your experience as a shareable item. -Ricotta di Gnocchi: 5/5 Again, texturally pleasing bite that's met with a delicious sauce that's velvety, cheesy, and rich in flavor with the herbs meeting the palate cutting away the richness. Perfectly paired -Potato focaccia: 4.5/5 One of my favorite bites that's met with a lemon zest while staying rich and creamy, the focaccia is covered and smothered with this delicious sauce that's a cream of potato and met with Parmesan and lemon, 2 flavors you wouldn't expect to pair so well but compliment each other extremely well. Giving this a reduction of .5 because the bread turns a little too mushy if you don't eat the entree quickly. Which some may like! -blondie: 5/5 Over heard the chef talking about soft serve and ice cream being offered and I had to listen in and order the dish. I'm not much of a desserts person but this was a concept executed flawlessly. Caramel thats met with berry for freshness, ice cream for richness, and sesame for a popping texture that's pleasing. All married to a golden brownie that's crispy to the bite and soft on the inside. Very well matched with each other and just a delicious bite to end the meal. I still remember every bite and can say that being from out of town, I would recommend this spot to anyone. Unique, amazing vibes in the restaurant, and just what I'd call a gem of a hole in the wall. Very well done!

Not sure what to say here because the food was amazing.But the service ruined the experience…read more I made a reservation over a month in advance and was really looking forward to tasting their focaccia. We got there early for our reservation which was at 5:30 so the restaurant was not busy at all. We got seated at the bar, closest to the door, and the register was right in front of us. Our server was less than cordial, took our order and gave us our bill, that's about it. I tried to ask about the restaurant and the focaccia but that seemed to be a huge inconvenience. As a home sourdough baker, I was quite disappointed. To top it off, St.Vito was recognized by Michelin so I expected great food and service. Not sure how they pulled that off with the Michelin reviewers... Oh and parking in the area is impossible. Everything is pay to park so just be prepared.

I took my buddy out for a celebratory promotion dinner to Ophelia's. We're from Huston and staying at the hotel across from this restaurant, we heard great things so on our last night we decided to celebrate his good news here. Within thirty seconds of us sitting down our waitress came out to greet us and pour waters for us. She was incredibly kind and bubbly, beautiful young girl. The service was next level. Our server, Lu lu, gave us great recommendations on cocktails and appetizers. She got to know what we enjoyed and recommended the whipped ricotta to us, which was delicious. Creamy ricotta with honey, oil, spice, and bread. Game Changing bread, perfectly baked. When it was time for our dinner, we decided to get the calzone, lasagna, and a pizza. The food came out within twenty minutes and it was just incredible. We decided for tiramisu as our dessert, but we should've gotten the cream puff, the table next to us got one and it looked great. When our waitress brought out our check she very respectfully asked where my buddy was from, as he has a pretty thick accent. He told her that he's Russian and her face lit up, she immediately started having a full conversation with him in Russian. Apparently, she knows the language conversationally. I mean, what a coincidence. My buddy was so tickled by it, and I think he really appreciated it. We also saw the chef come out and talk to one of the other tables, seriously, people were asking to speak to the chef to give their compliments. All in all, this was a wonderful restaurant that runs smoothly and is very professional. Yet it still remains to make you feel as if you're important and taken care of. Come here if you are able.

And my all time favorite is the little gem salad with the roasted cauliflowers and kettle chips. I always order this. Skip the sandwiches, though. But yes, I do agree with other reviewers that service has gone down a LOT. And it's inconsistent. On separate occasions, I've been seated without a full party and I've been told that the full party needs to be present before we can get a table (when more than half the restaurant is empty). Some of the servers look like they don't want to be there. It's hard to flag them down if you need something (silverware, napkins, more water).

I stopped by Dicey's Pizza & Tavern during CMA Fest because I had an event just around the corner…read more I've enjoyed the food here before, so this visit was more about experiencing the atmosphere and service. The pizza was just as good as I remembered. It's one of the stronger options if you're looking for a Chicago-style tavern pizza in Nashville, and the quality of the food continues to be the restaurant's biggest strength. The atmosphere, however, wasn't quite for me. The restaurant fully embraces its Chicago identity, which is certainly part of its concept. Personally, I would have enjoyed seeing a few subtle nods to Nashville or the local community to help it feel more connected to the neighborhood rather than feeling as though it had been transplanted from another city unchanged. It seemed very tone deaf and if I could get the Chicago experience in Nashville why would I ever visit the Chicago location? The music was also much louder than I expected. It created more of a nightclub atmosphere than a neighborhood pizza tavern, making it difficult to carry on a conversation. Live music would have felt more fitting for the setting, especially during CMA Fest. The staff was friendly throughout the evening, but service was a little slower than expected. The restaurant didn't seem particularly busy at the time, yet the kitchen appeared to be running behind, so there was more waiting than I anticipated. Overall, Dicey's Pizza & Tavern still serves excellent pizza, and I'd happily return for the food. I just hope that over time the dining experience evolves to feel a bit more welcoming for those looking for a relaxed meal rather than a high-energy atmosphere.

This was on a Thursday afternoon (Lunch Time) and they do have lunch specials, and it was a pack joint. Prices were right and affordable and the portion was huge! I placed the order online via toast and the food was ready in 30 minutes, I didn't think much of it since I wasn't that hungry but when I picked up the order and headed back upstairs, ya'll the calzone and pasta were MASSIVE. My bestie and I, share the food and had leftover for the next day and don't get me started on the ranch, worth the two dollar for extra sauce. If I do come back here next time, I'm getting their wings and extra ranch. Overall, the USA! Calzone which consist of mushroom, bell peppers and pepperoni and of course mozarella cheese, it was so damn good and perfect seasoning. (Yes, I ate the pizza with ranch) Now the kid's meal, what I thought of just a small pasta and a side of fries, came out to be a WHOLE FULL MEAL and the pasta was one of the best pasta I ever ate, it was creamy and the choice of adding bacon bites just hit. (Perfect to carb up before a night of drinking) it came with two pieces of garlic bread too. The fries were okay, dipping that into ranch help. Main star where the calzone and the pasta for the order.

The games are a blast, the drinks are great, and the pizza... wow. So good! I grabbed mine to go, and it was still amazing the next day for lunch, super fresh and still full of flavor.

There are two levels (each with its own bar), and the upstairs, dog-friendly patio has cabanas with fireplaces. It's also in the perfect spot for hopping to other great bars nearby. This place is 10/10: cheap beer, fun games, and an all-around solid night out!
