Pasta Galifi

We are transplants from New Haven Ct. We moved here in July 2025. New Haven is known for the best pizza (Apizza) in the US. We come from Italian immigrants and love our cuisine. When we came to Tennessee, although it’s a beautiful place, there is obviously a great lack of good Italian food. We found this place today strictly by accident. It’s a small place. It has about four or five tables and chairs inside, but the food is amazing. Their pasta is all homemade. They also sell their pasta. Their tomato sauce is excellent and it’s a good place to go if you really want good Italian food. The owner was very nice. He couldn’t do more for us. Also, they have their own cannolis and other desserts that looked great. The cannolis were perfect. If you’re ever in the neighborhood in Goodlettsville, w

My friend and I were on our way back from Nashville and voted to try this on a whim. 100000/10 best Italian food I have ever tasted. The pasta is made fresh every day and is SO good. I got the lobster Mac n cheese and it was absolutely delicious. They also have pasta you can buy there to take home. I might have bought a bag….or three. Very excited to cook it at home! Before we left, I got the cinnamon roll gelato and OH MY GOODNESS it is SO good. I also got some strawberry cake and a cannoli to take home to my family. They raved about those as well. The gentleman there is very kind and very helpful in helping you decide which delicious items to try. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I enjoyed the Ragu Bolognese, while our daughter had the Fettuccini Alfredo, and everything was delicious. The pasta was obviously fresh, and both sauces were rich, flavorful, and not too heavy. The service was friendly and attentive. They even offered our daughter a small sample of gelato before ordering, which she loved. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience with good food and was very welcoming. We plan to return soon to explore more menu options.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, look no further than this charming little spot. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and care that go into every detail — from the cafe décor to the welcoming smiles of the staff. The real star here is the homemade pasta, made fresh every day. You can taste the difference in every bite — tender, flavorful, and perfectly paired with rich, traditional sauces that taste like they came straight from an Italian grandmother’s kitchen. Whether it’s the lasagna with bolognese and besciamella or the rustic pasta ai porcini in a silky cream sauce , every dish feels crafted with love and authenticity. The owners clearly take pride in providing a genuine Italian experience, not just through the food, but through the atmosphe

Amazing authenticity. Fresh made pasta and gelato. Loved the lasagna and the chicken parma. Can't wait to try the rest of the extensive menu. Atmosphere reminded me of a typical Italian Cafe.
