This place fairly new Italian establishment in Nashville. I can say this makes within my top 5 Italian in Nashville. The atmosphere is so elegant and lovely. I loved all the food that we ordered. Every dish was prepared well and drinks were great. Our sever seems very new but she was very accommodating. If you are in Nashville, definitely try this place. read more

Place is nice and cozy and on the side streets of the gulch area. Free 2 hr parking in The Moderna garage, but limited space (the restaurant will validate). The QR parking validation code is by the hostess. Make sure to make an RSVP as this place is quite popular. The food was delectable and the atmosphere was fun. The playlist was on fire. This is a great date spot or girls night out! Still thinking about the Scamp Moderni! read more

V Modern Italian absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was stylish, welcoming, and perfect for a great night out. The food was excellent across the board--fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and every dish came out beautifully prepared. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the menu and presentation. A huge shoutout to our server Ron, who made the experience even better. He was personable, attentive, and had great recommendations. He checked in at all the right times without ever being intrusive, and his service really elevated the meal. With our group that included 2 adults, an 8 y/o and a 10 y/o. We started with the FOCACCIA TARTUFATA and the chili butter was amazing. The SCAMPI MODERNI. The ALFREDO DI STEFANO w/Shrimp. The MANICOTTI AL RAGÙ. The MARGHERITA AL PARMIGIANO. We're all great. Great food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service. Easily one of the better Italian spots we've been to, and we'll definitely be back the next time we are in Nashville. Ask for Ron if you go! read more

I cannot express how much I loved this place! The vibes are absolutely incredible and the staff are super eager to join in on celebrations ;) our table split an espresso martini tower and a hot pizza (fav!), salad, focaccia, and a vodka pasta and it was the perfect amount. Great way to start a fun night in Nashville read more

The ambience is hands down the best part about this restaurant, I mean absolutely stunning. Drinks were good as well. The Caesar salad was the best thing we ate. Pizza was just alright and was disappointed with the pasta. Not sure if it's preference but from the noodle cuts to the sauce, we didn't love it. read more

Stunning in every way! The decor and bar in the center is so eye catching. It felt as if I left Nashville and was transported to a NYC or Miami club. The music was good vibes with a DJ. However, it is not loud so you can actually have a conversation. The bathroom was so trendy and picturesque. The greenery and live plants bring the luxury feel. At 9pm Friday and Saturday they give you free limoncello shots and have the napkin dance. The food was overall delicious. The meatballs are to die for. They are super moist and perfectly sauced. I recommend them as a starter since there are 3. We ordered the scampi and short rib with truffle pasta. Both good portions and we had left overs. Sadly they don't do birthday dessert. Drinks were also yummy. Service was fantastic. He was so helpful and gave recommendations. read more

I will echo what so many have said - the atmosphere is what you go for. It's beautiful and beyond instagram worthy. Our server was lovely and helpful. They were running a special on Komos tequila while we were there which was fun, and they passed complimentary lime cello shots for their towel spinning run through that evening. I had the Spicy Pepperoni pizza, a margarita and a glass of their house wine - it was all tasty but total came to $81. It felt over priced and gimmicky - tip was included because we were a large party but the app they use at the table attempted to add an additional tip and sneak it in, then the surcharge for using said QR code, it just felt a little too new Nashville. I love they are attempting to protect their servers with built in tips but they're doing it wrong at the costumers expense. read more

We had a reservation here for our anniversary but when we arrived there was a dj playing just beyond the host stand. It struck me more of a place to pregame and party if you're younger than 30. The staff was really friendly but the noise level was insane. We left once we were sat, due to the noise. It was 7:15 pm on a Friday. Good place for kids and partying, i've heard they have good food too. Do not recommend for romantic dinner. There are thousands of better options closeby read more

I've been here a few times now so including photos from both trips! But I've had a great experience both times I've been here. The first time was over the summer for just a girls night to grab dinner and drinks, and the second time was to celebrate our engagement anniversary (December). I've gotten the same pizza both times, so there's one way to state that it really is that good. The pasta, braised short ribs, apps, and desserts, I really haven't had a bad item here. I see bad reviews and I just can't speak to that. I have only been in parties of 2, so maybe it's harder when a larger group? But that's solely me just speculating. It's also GORGEOUS in here. I think the patio is the perfect place to sit when the weather is nice, but also being indoors during Christmas and seeing all of their decorations were great too. All in, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try out some good Italian food while also being at a place that creates a good vibe. read more

Love this spot!!! The drinks are amazing, the food was solid (especially the meatballs and foccacia) and the service was perfect. Given the area and amazing vibe, it is worth the cost for sure. I cannot wait to be back soon! read more

This place was stunning! They really curated a vibe with the soft lighting, cozy seating, and house music. Although the music was a bit on the louder side so I wouldn't recommend this for an intimate date. They did have us waiting for some time even though we had reservations. Nevertheless staff were still attentive and food was brought out accordingly. The pastas were saucy and tasty! We didn't have a single complaint about the food. Another plus is the validated parking in the garage. Wasn't a hassle to find a spot. read more

absolutely stunning dining area!!! Tables are low lit and very elevated. Great spot for a romantic dinner or a celebration with a large group. The antipasto tower is INSANE. such a great shareable the table with a little something for everyone. Pasta was good! A lil more al dente than I'd usually go for but the sauces were delicious. Dessert is super fun and unique. Their cannoli service includes sparklers and a staff member building it in front of you!! such a cool experience!! their tiramisu is made with baileys instead of coffee which is not my fav but it is an interesting twist on such a traditional dish! parking is included in the garage next door at moderna gulch for 2 hours ! Definitely recommend making a reservation ! read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Nashville. WHAT A VIBE. Napkin twirling. The DJ had me dancing in my seat while eating. Five star service from every single server. Here's what I recommend ordering: * Bruschetta (TO DIE FOR) .*Meatball appetizer *Pizza with Spicy Pepperoni & Honey *Cannolis made TABLE SIDE with sparklers *Steak was SO FLAVORFUL *Layered Cake was light & fluffy without being overly sweet *Pasta - I liked the Truffle white pasta more than the red pasta. I'd add a protein next time read more

This is a pretty chill place. The aesthetic is so nice and the atmosphere kinda upscale. The pasta was delicious but the cannoli was not. The service was okay. It wasn't crazy busy but our server didn't check on us often and we waited for her to come back a few times and she didn't. The price for the food was okay, the meat portions were not a lot if you added protein. read more

Have to say as a Nashville local I don't pop down into the gulch for a bite very often but I'm always monitoring the coming & going of eateries in that area. It just so happened I was looking for a reservation at a nice vibey spot with short notice for a party of 6 on a Monday & came across V Modern Italian on OpenTable. The occasion was to celebrate the birthdays of two German teachers in town with a student exchange. The photos of the decor & comments on the atmosphere were enough to warrant investigating. The descriptions were accurate. The space is quite pretty & the seating & tables give a modern upscale aesthetic but the vibe is more business causal than cocktail imho. The service stellar with our server giving us plenty of time to have drinks & conversation in between starters & entrees. There was never the feeling of being rushed even though we probably spent nearly 3 hours here. I let our server choose my cocktail & my entree & her choices were excellent. For starters we tried the focaccia & the bruschetta. Both were good enough but nothing incredible. I had the Fior Di Basilica cocktail (chosen by my server) it was light, fruity, & refreshing. For my main the Glazed pork chop was chosen. This was one of the most perfectly prepared pork dishes I've had in town. The balsamic glaze & roasted potatoes were perfect with the sizeable pork shank. Highly recommend this dish. She also chose the garlic butter mashed potatoes as a premium side. Bold choice to double up on potatoes but to her credit they were excellent. I'd recommend this spot for a nice dinner, special occasion, or to hang at their very pretty bar for a drink. read more

I began with their standard espresso martini, which offered a robust, dynamic duo of flavors from the Evil Bean coffee liqueur and espresso. To start, we ordered the Focaccia Tasting, which consisted of warm rosemary focaccia bread and sides of balsamic olive oil and house marinara for dipping. The bread was delicious -- cooked perfectly -- slightly crispy on the edges and warm and fluffy inside. The bread paired well with the olive oil and marinara. For my entrée, I ordered the Black Truffle Pipette. The pasta was perfectly al dente. The sauce was delicious, but the black truffle was subdued. And the dish had only a few roasted portobello mushrooms, which was disappointing. Regardless, it was so good and the perfect size -- it left me satisfied but not stuffed. For dessert, I tried the Baileys Tiramisu. It was definitely a unique take on the classic. Rather than coming in traditional cake form, it was served in a glass and comprised of mascarpone cream, Baileys-soaked chocolate cake and cocoa powder. I thought the dish was overpowered by the mascarpone cream, which seemed to dominate the dish. The chocolate cake seemed more like crumbs on the bottom of the glass, and I didn't taste a hint of Baileys. However, the cocoa powder on top paired well with the mascarpone. In hindsight, I should have ordered the almond cake. I loved the decor and ambiance inside the restaurant. I felt cramped navigating between the tables, but everyone was mindful of the limited space, so it wasn't much of an inconvenience. Our waiter was fantastic, and I was amazed by how quickly our drinks and food were brought to the table (in courses, not all at once, thankfully). I will definitely return to explore more of the menu. The sourdough pizzas looked divine. read more

Wanted to love this place but the food was just ok. The inside is absolutely stunning with great decor and ambiance. Our server was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The Mediterranean Olive appetizer was just a cup of Kalamata olives... like you poured them out of the jar at home. 100% not worth it. The Vodka Rosa pasta lacked flavor. The pasta wasn't anything special. I was expecting pasta that is made fresh daily but this clearly was not. The Barolo Braised Short Rib was tasty but there was too much gravy/sauce on the plate. Pizza was good, classic style but for the price you can get just as good elsewhere. Floppy tasty crust. Loved the red onion on the Spicy Italian Pizza - it was caramelized and added a nice touch to a pepperoni pizza. Cocktails were well made. It's evident the bartenders know their craft. Decent wine list. Happy to see a super Tuscan available. read more

My husband and I visited V Modern for a nice dinner out! I love this restaurant! This atmosphere is so welcoming and absolutely beautiful. I love that on beautiful nights the hostess stand is located on the front patio, it unique compared to other restaurants in the area. Our waitress was also so sweet! She catered to a few extra request we had (allergies, food preferences) and made the experience super easy. Now the food! To me honest, it wasn't the best steak or pasta in town but it was pretty tasty. My favorite part of my experience here was the aesthetics and the music! I definitely recommend for a date night read more

This place is as cute as it is on their social media page. We actually snowball up upon this with my friends accidentally for dinner. The whole entire staff was incredible! Especially our beautiful server miss April. Not only were the people amazing but so were the food. I normally don't do dark espresso martinis, but their velvet espresso martini is incredible! Don't be scared of not having any cream in there because it is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to you and all the stuff for making my birthday celebration so beautiful. read more

We started with meatballs, which were fantastic. Our table ordered two pizzas and two pasta dishes. Both pizzas were delicious, but both pasta dishes seemed to lack meat. The ragu had barely any meat in the sauce, and only a few shrimp in the scampi pasta dish. When we received the bill, we noticed I was upcharged for a premium spirit in my drink, which I did not ask for, and then uncharged again for a shot of St Brendan's in the Affogato, which we also did not order. Would go back again for pizza and an affogato without the St Brendan's. Very cool ambiance inside, but pay attention to your final bill. read more

This restaurant has been in my radar ever since they opened! My girlfriend took me here for my birthday in February and we had a great time. First off, I love the vibe of this modern, rustic feel with a lot of greenery. As soon as we walked in we were welcomed kindly and were sat immediately. Our server came by to greet us and was so friendly and helpful. We decided to get the FIOR DI BASILICO and FLOR DI LIMONE cocktails to start and they were so well balanced. For an appetizer we ordered the BRUSCHETTA CLASSICA which was such a unique and tasty take on a bruschetta. For dinner we ordered the VODKA ROSA and the ALFREDO DI STEFANO, both of which were very good and perfectly cooked. If I had to pick one, I'd probably say get the VODKA ROSA but I feel like you can't miss here! For dessert we shared the gelato which was the perfect ending to the meal. Overall great experience and will definitely be coming back! read more

Love the pumped up vibe! Lively and energetic! Great Modern Italian, as the name would suggest. The pizzas are amazing. Shout out to the dollop of ricotta on the Margherita! But the meatballs and bolognese were the standouts for me. Each time we have been they have been quite packed, so I would recommend a reservation. But there is very nice patio seating and bar seating if you just want to drop in. read more

An evening defined by elegance and effortless luxury. At V Modern Italian, every detail was curated to perfection from the warm welcome with champagne, to a symphony of Italian classics reimagined with modern finesse. We began with the Tutti Anti Pasta Tower and Marinara Meatballs, followed by the Margherita al Parmigiana and Pesto Kale Gnocchi, each dish layered with rich, refined flavor. For dessert: Baileys Tiramisù, Sicilian Almond Cake, and Affogato - indulgent, artful, and exquisitely plated. A night of culinary craftsmanship, elevated ambiance, and exceptional service, a true celebration of modern Italian luxury in the heart of Nashville. read more

I really need to stop listening to social media influencers when it comes to restaurants. They lied about the food being good here. The food was so awful. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I've had better at Olive Garden. Now the service was amazing and the esthetics are 10 out of 10. Instagram picture worthy for sure. The place was a whole vibe, but the food -1. Skip this place if you're looking to eat good food. read more

If you're craving a modern twist on Italian classics in Nashville, V Modern Italian delivers an experience that's equal parts indulgent and elevated. We ordered their focaccia. It set the tone for what was to come. The black truffle sauce was the bomb. Then i ordered the all vodka pasta. The ambiance was chic but inviting, with moody lighting and a live dj. At a certain point of the night (after 9pm) a surprise shot arrived that added a festive sparkle to the night. The restaurant does offer a two-hour validated parking in the garage attached to the restaurant read more

I absolutely LOVED the vibe and the ambiance here. Low light, intimate seating, and a live DJ spinning tech house! There's even a "dance break" of sorts where all of the staff come out hyping everyone up and passing out limoncello shots. My partner described it as "like a club and dinner, all of your favorites" and I described it as "feeling like a place I would've gone to when I lived in London" which is fitting because I found out it started in Europe and this is their first USA location! The food was also very good! We did everything shared/family style, which is actually recommended by the staff. My favorites were the focaccia and the pizza. Our servers, Noah and Lisa, were also great at recommending cocktails for us. I wanted something sweet and they recommended the Basilico which was literally one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Docking a star only because they were 15 minutes late to seat us after our reservation time and there wasn't anywhere to sit or wait inside so it was a little uncomfortable. We also wanted out food to come out staggered/in courses and it all came out at once which left some dishes cold by the time we got to eat them + the table was quite crowded. They also ran out of desserts so we had to go with our second choice. All in all, I did enjoy it and think it's a spot and a vibe that is unique in Nashville, and one that Nashville definitely needs! read more

My friends took me here for my birthday celebration, and it's clear when you walk in that you can come here for vibes if that's your style. They have a supper club that starts at 9 pm. Beautiful space with lots if greenery. There's street parking & the garage parking is validated for up to 2 hrs I believe. Love: focaccia tarufata (best thing all night, love the truffle crema, would come back just for this) Like: black truffle pizza (added chicken, tasty white sauce); marinara meatballs (pairs well with focaccia); almond cake (moist, almond flavor just right) Dislike: Toro Rosso pasta (something was off about the chicken we added); inconsistent with the drinks (one of my friends drink was watery) read more

Had to try out the new Italian restaurant in the Gulch! While it's very pretty inside, to me there was too much going on. Graffiti on the walls, so many plants everywhere it's like walking through a jungle, today's hit music playing and then a "show" at night which was just waiters dancing around waving napkins. Fun, don't get me wrong but not what I was expecting. Our server was super friendly at first, gave us a rundown of the menu and offered his favorites. As the night progressed he was less and less attentive. Not sure if he was subtly trying to kick us out or he just forgot about us. The food was good, but not the best Italian I've ever had. The Caesar salad could have used a little more dressing and less croutons. I tried the pizza at the suggestion of our server and it was good but could have used more honey and maybe smaller sausage slices? They were extra spicy which I did know ahead of time, just thinking smaller pieces may be better. The wine was fantastic and our first espresso martini was better than our second. All in all it was a nice dinner! I'm sure they're still working out the kinks having not even been open a month yet. Hoping to go back soon! read more

"I visited V Modern Italian restaurant and sat at the bar area. The meat lover pizza was actually very good, and my husband enjoyed his espresso martini. However, the service at the bar was not great. For the first few minutes no one really acknowledged us, even though there were two bartenders working. When the bartender finally spoke to us, he took our drink order and then gave us menus, but overall we still felt like an afterthought. Good food, but the bar service needs to be more attentive." read more

V Modern Italian - Dinner - Italian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

If you're looking for a fun vibe and a beautiful ambience with decent food, V Modern Italian is a solid choice. We came on a Saturday night for a 9:30 reservations. This was probably the biggest struggle of the night. We checked in at the host stand, but it took another 30 minutes to actually seat us. Based on other reviews, it looks like we missed the towel swinging, so if you want to see that, a reservation around 9 pm is ideal. From there things definitely trended upward. We had some Aperol Spritz and Espresso Martinis, which were delicious. For food, we had: Meatballs: juicy, flavorful and delicious. If you order the focaccia, it tastes delicious to dip the bread in the meatball sauce. Stracciatella: If you love burrata with a hint of spice, this is a dish for you! Chicken parmesan: this one was interesting. There were good bites and dry bites. I do wish it had a bit more melted mozzarella, but it was still good. I'm not a gnocchi fan, but theirs was light and pillows, so I do appreciate that. Short rib: a little dry and the sauce was a bit salty. Mashed potatoes: I agree with other reviews that mentioned that they were grainy. Hot Italian sausage pizza: this was easily the best next to the meatballs. The pizza dough was so light, and I loved the spicy and sweet play of the pizza. This restaurant is great for group/friend dinners, dates, etc, especially if its a pregaming event before a big night! read more

The vibes here are great. On the night I came, there was a dj playing house music. Also, they do the towel thing at 9pm on the dot. The food on the other hand, it's just ok. We got so many dishes and shared them among each other. None of the pastas really stood out to me. They were fine, just not omg sooo amazing good. They were cooked Al dente as well. I know a lot of Americans don't like Al dente but that's how they do pasta in Italy so I understand why v modern does it. The meat dishes were good. We got the steak, pork chops, and short ribs. The sweet hot Italian pizza was v delicious. It was the best thing we ordered. If I were to visit again, I will stick to the pizzas and meat dishes. read more

GORGEOUS experience for any special occasion, came to celebrate my birthday with a close friend! We made reservations about a week in advance. Parking was difficult as there were not many spots available for the area that is validated - we circled a bit and got lucky with someone leaving. Every inch of this restaurant is an elegant vibe, loved the plants, velvet, rich colors, moody lightning, and so much more. Our server was a vibrant person, attentive and helpful with us navigating our decisions. We started with the focaccia tartufata and it was absolute perfection and the ideal starter to ground us after drinks and wake up our taste buds for the meal ahead. Highly recommend!! My friend is vegetarian and we wanted to split dishes so got the pesto gnocchi and black truffle creste. W O W !! The gnocchi pasta was literally the best texture I've ever tasted, I do feel like it could have had more sauce/flavor; however, the black truffle creste was so richly and divinely flavored with the right amount of sauce and the pasta tender/light/fluffy - it was for sure the winner out of the two for us. We ended with the almond amaretto cake and paired it with the velvet espresso - it truly was the best dessert pairing EVER. The cake had a creamy, tiramisu-like layer that was cold and dreamy, and the espresso had a subtle sea salt caramel finish that brought everything together. Such a stunning, memorable evening, can't wait to come back and savor it all over again. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but honestly, it's understandable given the experience. All five senses (hence the V) are activated from the moment you walk in - the somatic therapist in me was fully here for it. It's not just a meal; it's an atmosphere, a mood, and a moment worth lingering in. Bravo, V!!! read more
