 Italian Food that Breaks the Rules |
1920 West End Avenue (at 20th Avenue North) Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 320 1740 http://www.amerigo.net/ |
It's rare that an Italian restaurant is not romantic. Yet this one breaks the rules and caters to families rather than young lovers. Plentiful portions of pasta—Angel Hair, Fettuccine, Penne, Linguini—are served with creamy Alfredo, Pesto or hearty Marinara Sauces. Thin crust pizzas are topped with creative selections like Gouda cheese, spinach and smoked chicken. The veal is delicious and all entrees are served with fresh baked bread and Caesar Salad. There's a limited wine list, and the bar serves mixed drinks and beer. Call for Sunday timings. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classic Italian cuisine |
7097 Old Harding Rd (at Hwy 70 South Nashville, TN 37221 United States +1 615 646 9166 |
Antonio's hasn't forgotten that proper presentation, rich ambiance and courteous service are part of what makes a great dining experience. The chef shows off his many talents with creative appetizers and entrees. The spiedini alla Antonio is magnificient—layers of bread and mozzarella dipped in egg and Romano cheese, with black and green olives. Try the rack of lamb marinated with rosemary, thyme and garlic. It is divine. Pasta is bountiful here, and the sauces are rich and full of flavor. Dessert is as tempting as your entree and should not be missed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Romantic Tapas restaurant and bar |
911 20th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37212 United States +1 615 321 3043 http://pansouth.net/boundry-ma... |
This is no ordinary Tapas restaurant; the Bound'ry infuses life into food. It is famous for its unique presentation of Flapjacks—tiny pancakes topped with sauteed lobster, roasted pistachios, apples and Indian spices. The menu changes frequently, but standby favorites include Ostrich, Paella, Cajun Veal Chops and Barbeque Chicken-Crawfish Manicotti. The kitchen isn't the only star here. The bar is a premier spot for gathering with old friends or making new ones. The extensive beer selection includes foreign, domestic and micro-brewed beers and fine wines. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Caffe Nonna |
4427 Murphy Road Nashville, TN 37209-4749 United States +1 615 463 0133 http://www.cafenonna.com |
This tiny establishment is cozy but never boring. A small bar and half a dozen tables are always packed. Traditional Italian appetizers and salads begin the meal. The calamari is very good. The chef's featured entree is Lamb Shank Toscana ($16), a tender serving of lamb with a rich wine reduction. A full lunch menu features sandwiches and gourmet pizzas that have wheat dough piled high with your choice of meat and vegetables. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Other pizzerias have tried to implement a buffet, but CiCi's has perfected the process. You will find more than 10 types of pizza on the buffet, all of which are hot and fresh from then oven.

Creative Pizza Designs |
1812 Hayes St Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 329 8098 http://www.davincisgourmetpizz... |
Pizza can be a work of art, especially when you have the right brush with which to paint. How about 30 different toppings to decorate the canvas? Pepperoni, oysters, basil, pesto, roasted chicken and artichoke hearts are all on your pallet. Want cheese on your pie? How about feta, Gouda, Swiss or cheddar? You'll need a canvas to paint on, and your masterpiece can be served on thick or thin crust, with pesto or tomato sauce. If you aren't in the mood to be creative, let the experts serve up one of their own creations. Non-dairy soy cheddar and mozzarella pizzas delight the health conscious, and the bleu cheese and spinach pizza is ideal for the adventurous pizza eater. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fast Paced, Inexpensive Eatery |
300 Commerce Street Nashville, TN 37201 United States +1 615 895 3701 http://www.demosrestaurants.com/ |
This is a great place for a family meal or business lunch. Garden salads and pasta dishes are the most prominent items on the menu, but you will find a few steak selections as well. The house special is a basic, yet delicious, spaghetti and meatballs plate, and your meal always begins with hot buttered bread. Be warned: this is not the place for a leisurely lunch or romantic dinner. The pace is quick. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Candle lit tables set the perfect mood for a quiet evening of fine dining. Soft music and unobtrusive servers create a romantic atmosphere for couples to enjoy a peaceful meal. Choose from gourmet pizzas cooked in the wood fired oven, chicken Parmesan, veal saltimbocca or Tuscan chicken. The lasagna is fantastic, and don't miss a chance to taste one of their desserts.

The Arcade, Nashville's famous downtown village style eatery and shopping center, is the perfect setting for Manny and Joey's Italian creations. The menu is simple: pizza, calzones and lasagna.

Depart from the ordinary |
401 Broadway Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 254 1892 http://www.merchantsrestaurant... |
The brick and glass exterior is a departure from the historic downtown design, and the art deco lighting highlights the wrought iron and copper fixtures inside. Patrons will enjoy the counter seats surrounding the open kitchen. The menu here is the same classic that has made Merchant's famous in the Nashville area: crab cakes, Five-Pepper Chicken and robust beef entrees. The express lunch is still available and an expanded children's menu has been added. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Cafeteria style Italian Diner |
508 5th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203 United States +1 615 254 7210 |
Downtown diners file in for the best calzones and sub sandwiches in town. Hearty Italian dishes like lasagna and baked ziti are served hot and fresh everyday at this eatery located a few blocks from the business district. If you are fortunate enough to claim one of the 12 tables, you can relax in the pleasant atmosphere and enjoy a delicious order of eggplant parmigiana or tortellini. Most people phone ahead for a takeaway order, since it is so busy, but the food is just as delicious in your office or hotel room as in the restaurant. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fresh Italian Food Fast |
160 North 2nd Avenue Nashville, TN 37201 United States +1 615 254 9010 http://www.oldspaghettifactory... |
The historic Victorian structure houses this establishment and is filled with antiques from the period. Classy enough for business lunch, yet casual enough for family dinner. Long Island ice teas flow like water from the romantic bar with loveseats and intimate seating for couples. Families can eat an entire pasta dinner with salad and bread for about $8 each. All together, it's a formula for success even in the touristy climate of Second Avenue. Review © 2007, Wcities |

When the idea of another burger is more than you can stomach, try a little Mediterranean flavor for dinner. More than just a Greek restaurant, this Belmont eatery serves Italian and Middle Eastern dishes as well. Choose from spaghetti, gyros and spinach quiche, all on the same menu. Wine coolers and beer provide adult refreshment, and the outdoor patio provides a wonderful setting for dining during the warmer months.

Elegant Italian eatery |
2000 Belcourt Avenue Nashville, TN 37212 United States +1 615 385 2200 http://www.tracerestaurant.com/ |
The tall windows along the front of the restaurant offer a striking view of the Nashville skyline, and the elegant decor makes this the perfect setting for a business dinner or a romantic evening with your spouse. Crisp, starched white tablecloths on candlelit tables set the mood for the delicious Italian dishes served by chef Frederick Brooker. Menu favorites include Fettucine Alfredo, Shrimp Scampi and a sinfully rich Manicotti. The Caesar Salad is almost a meal in itself and the Lamb Chops are the signature special of the house. Have a drink at the bar while you wait for your table, or sit on the patio and enjoy the company of friends while you linger over a glass of chardonnay. Review © 2007, Wcities |
