Pelato - Nashville

We had a great experience dining at pelato. Its a famous italian restaurant in the heart of Nashville. Food is awesome. Service is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming. We started with a recommended red wine, followed by multiple shareables. Although they were good, the best was the rigatoni vodka pasta. Burnt broccoli felt a little oily. Tiramisu was a cherry on top. We had pre-booked otherwise sometimes the wait time exceeds upto an hour. Parking spots are difficult to find.

My wife and I had an outstanding experience at Pelato in Nashville. The food was excellent, but the real highlight of the night was our server, Stef. We travel often and have dined at multiple Michelin-star restaurants around the world, so we truly understand world-class dining and service. Stef went above and beyond explaining the menu, guiding us through the small plates, and making thoughtful recommendations. She was professional, personable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I truly hope more servers take her professional approach — she sets the standard. Now to the food: The broccolini was phenomenal — her recommendation — and even though I was hesitant at first, it ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. The gnocchi was outstanding and reminded me of a h

My wife and I had an outstanding evening at Pelato. We’ve dined at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, so we know exceptional service — and our server, Maddie, belongs in that conversation. She was professional, warm, and genuinely passionate, guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations that made all the difference. The broccolini — her suggestion — ended up being a highlight. The parm was perfection and perfectly executed, the salad flavorful, and the meatballs was the perfect. Great atmosphere, great food. But Maddie made the night truly memorable. Highly recommend — and ask for Maddie.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We had an incredible dinner here and loved every bite. The Radiatori Vodka was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of Calabrian chili heat — absolute comfort food perfection. The Bucatini Cacio e Pepe was simple but flawless, with perfectly al dente pasta and that authentic balance of pecorino and black pepper that’s hard to find outside Italy. And the Baked Stuffed Shells were warm, cheesy heaven. The ricotta and mozzarella melted together beautifully with a touch of parmigiano that tied it all together. On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was spot-on friendly, attentive, and genuine. You can tell the kitchen cares about quality and detail. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves great pasta and a relaxed, elevated dining ex

This place is truly spectacular. We visited it today for the first time to celebrate my birthday. The service is incredible, as are all the dishes, desserts, and drinks. We would definitely come back and recommend it so you can enjoy an explosion of flavors on your palate. By the way, my English is very bad, and the waiter did an excellent job making sure communication was perfect.
