"A new neighborhood Italian from Nashville restaurateurs Bill and Sam Darsinos opens today at 329 Donelson Pike. I learned the two-floor dining room features white oak woodwork, 25-foot ceilings, leather-wrapped banquettes, and a heated, covered outdoor patio that will be open year-round. The menu includes starters like arancini, meatballs, and an antipasto platter, with larger plates such as bucatini lamb ragout, pistachio-crusted salmon, and various 12-inch pizzas. Salento’s will be open seven days a week for dinner from 3 to 9 p.m., with weekday lunch arriving in mid-February." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
