"After 27 years in Manhattan, Giovanni Ristorante found its way to Nashville and firmly planted its flag near Midtown with a snappy bi-level space. Murano glass chandeliers, Venetian plaster, and a Hermes (yes, that Hermes) upholstered bar provide immediate eye candy, followed by plates like pappardelle alla Norcia with black truffles and tagliatelle in a veal and beef ragout, which taste as good as everything looks." - Ellen Fort, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
