Dont be put off by the looks of the building, awesome food and great service is waiting for you inside! Micheal took care of us and he is well worth asking for his section. We were seated by the kitchen and honestly, you could call this table and the one next to it a chef's table. It was great watching pizzas being made and everything expedited. Great way to see what you would want to order. The staff busted their behinds and were hustling. Hard to find that these days. The food was so awesome. Very flavorful, I love when a restaurant seasons everything the way it should be! No complaints here. We will be back again. My wife said she wanted to find a real Italian restaurant.....this was a guess if it would be good. It was way better than good!

I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere was comfy yet slightly sophisticated. The dim lighting and piano music made for a wonderful ambiance. Our server, Ethan, was very professional and knowledgeable. We received our food in great timing, and the quality was superb. I enjoyed the four cheese gnocchi with walnuts, very creative! I implore that you save room for dessert. The dark chocolate gelato was phenomenal. I was shocked by how reasonable the pricing was for our meal, considering the quality and how “high end” the restaurant felt. I hope you give this place a try and enjoy it as much as I did!

Thank you, Hailey, for the wonderful review. Your reflections are precisely what we're trying hard to achieve every day, so this is very gratifying to hear. You'll be pleased to learn that we have just welcomed a new Executive Chef Rosario De Luca from Italy, so we're looking forward to many exciting new developments ahead. We look forward to serving you!

What a cute spot tucked away in West Nashville! The strawberry bellini was delicious. We ordered the pesto crepes, shrimp scampi and a salad and it was all wonderful.

My daughter and I stopped in for a late lunch today and were pleasantly surprised. The exterior of the building gives no indication of the wonderful food served inside. We were greeted immediately upon entering and brought to our table. The live piano music was a nice touch and added to the atmosphere. It was shortly after 1 and we inquired about Sunday brunch, but alas, it was not available. Our server was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations - you could tell by the look in his eye that his recommendations weren't rote but rather things he enjoyed eating. He also asked about dietary preferences or requirements. Well done. After careful consideration we ordered the Crepes Florentine and a margherita pizza. Again, we were asked how we would like the pizza cooked, that was a first and well worth it. The wait for the food was a bit long, but not interminable and knowing that every item was prepared from scratch, it was worth it. While waiting, we were able to enjoy some delicious bread and an olive oil dipping sauce. Portions were large, food was excellent. We had hoped to have some gelato for dessert but were full before we finished our meals. There's always next time.

Thank you, Mary, for the wonderful review! We are happy to have earned a new customer and look forward to seeing you again soon. Our fresh made gelato will be waiting!
