Not worth it!!. About 10 years ago this place was great; however, since it has been under new ownership for years, it is mediocre at best. Ive gone one or two times in the past, & decided to give it one more chance. My last experience was for a carry-out order, & my call was greeted with an unfriendly woman who was of no help at all. They are extremely skimpy on the sauce, cheese, herbs, spices, and other important ingredients. The food was bland and the pasta wasn't even al-dente! The Tiramisu was ok, but was tiny & way over priced (just like everything else). The pathetic salad was primarily wilting ice berg. I've spend nearly a month in Italy, and this bears no resemblance to the fine cuisine Italy has to offer. The other reviewer was accurate in saying that it's "Italian by Non-Italians." Try Sole Mio instead!!

Best In Nashville. The Italian Grill absolutely has the best marinara sauce I've ever had in my life...and I've had it all over Italy. Great staff, great wine, great food. Without a doubt, the best italian in Nashville

Italian by non Italians. That's all you need to know. These people do not have a clue about good Italian food. Their menu is very limited and I doubt that any of the mangers or owners have ever stepped foot in a good Italian eatery. Their pizza is also VERY overpriced and is slight on toppings. Pretty lame fare.

BEST LITTLE SECRET IN NASHVILLE. THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST ITALIAN IN NASHVILLE. THE STAFF, THE AMBIANCE, THE FOOD, AND ESPECIALLY THE WINE LIST IS ALWAYS INCREDIBLE. THEY TREAT YOU LIKE FAMILY AND THEYRE ALWAYS WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE YOU FEEL SPECIAL. THERE ARE GREAT BANDS THAT PLAY IN THEIR UPSTAIRS LOUNGE ON THE WEEKENDS, SO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A FUN NIGHT OUT WRAPPED INTO ONE LITTLE PACKAGE. ITS LIKE BEING IN ITALY ITSELF, WHEN YOU STEP INTO THIS BEAUTIFUL CLASSY RESTAURANT. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE WHO APPRECIATES AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CUISINE.

fabulous!!. Forget all the other "Italian"places, they don`t know what real Italian means. If you looking for phenomenal home made food, comfortable and casual atmosphere, and excelent service,that`s place to be.

All of them are one big family and you will be a part of it. Best Italian food in town. I would recommend this place to anybody.
