Nashville’s Best Italian Restaurants | Eater Nashville

"Fashioned after an “old-school Italian trattoria,” Anthony Scotto’s second Nashville restaurant is a decidedly warmer, more casual space than Luogo in the Gulch, with both patio and bar seating and a focus on casual Italian comfort food. Dishes include arancini, crispy garlic potatoes, creamy polenta with bolognese sauce, and a chicken scarpiello using thighs and sausage. The drink menu focuses on classic aperitif-style cocktails such as the Pelato Palmer made with sweet tea and limoncello, and a frozen espresso martini combining vodka, coffee liqueur, demerara syrup, and nitro cold brew." - Ellen Fort
