"The Joseph Nashville hotel is luxury jewel box of original art and thoughtful vistas. It’s fine-dining Italian restaurant, Yolan, fits right in. Michelin-starred Chef Tony Mantuano spent decades at Spiaggia in Chicago and was recruited out of retirement to come to Nashville and open Yolan. His menu includes Antipasti, Primi, and Secondi. The menu is small and seasonal, and nearly flawless. Presentation is exquisite. Mantuano picked everything down to each utensil, so even the weight of the fork in your hand as you twirl your pasta is part of the intentional experience. And twirl you should, as Mantuano’s pasta is legendary. Don’t sleep on desserts by Pastry Chef Noelle Marchetti. She’s been a semifinalist for a James Beard Award and her sweets go toe-to-toe with Mantuano’s meals. Pick a different day to skip dessert." - Margaret Littman
