We have been going regularly for about a year. It never fails to satisfy. When you come up to the place, the pleasant smell of garlic and olive oil greets you. You know you are at a proper Italian restaurant. And it should be, it says it is run by Italians.

You come into a nice Italian grocery with lots of authentic Italian foods including their own breads and pastas that they make on site. They also have a great selection of chocolates and when the weather is warm, a great selection of home made gelatos.

Attached is a small, cozy, Italian restaurant. With the friendliest wait staff in town (don't be surprised they will remember you after only one or two visits). They offer some great pizzas at really great prices. They also have excellent subs and pasta dishes. Their cappuccinos are excellent.

This is by far the best Italian in Nashville that we have visited. If you haven't tried it yet, you have to.
