Excellent service, the meal was perfect! We eat here all the time, its a perfect match for going to a concert downtown Nashville, parking has increased in cost - that should be eliminated as it use to be valet and comped. Love the staff!

Such an amazing experience. The quality of service was on another level. The quality of everthing we tasted was beyond words. Every dish and every drink was its own new world of flavor and culinary perfection. Simply reading the menu will never do any of the plates justice and the portion sizes were incredible. Absolutely necessary to experience.

We always have a great meal here. The servers are friendly and attentive, the food comes out fast and it’s always delicious. We usually get pasta but we tried the pizza last night and it was delicious.

The food was inventive and very good. I love the emphasis on local sourcing one knock against them is that I could tell that my dish is sat for a little while before coming to my table. but it still tasted great.

Perfect weeknight dinner with friends. Had the Caesar Salad and the Burrata. Both were tasty, but we probably only need one because the portions were big. Then we had several of the pizzas, recommendations made by our server. All were very good! Our service was great. We’ll go back and recommend.

    The lasagna was absolutely incredible! Thin, creamy layers with a delicious béchamel sauce—best we have enjoyed in Nashville. And the pizza was out of this world! The crust was absolutely delightful—light, flavorful, and perfectly done. By far our favorite Pizza week special!!
