Nashville’s Best Italian Restaurants | Eater Nashville

"For years, chef Daniel Maggipinto has been charming guests at this quaint Sylvan Park eatery with traditional recipes from his grandmother, the titular Nonna. After a recent remodel, the space feels modern yet cozy, befitting an eternally hip Italian grandmother. Starters like fried calamari and a hearty Tuscan bruschetta segue smoothly into mains like the lamb shank Toscana with spinach, tomatoes, white beans, and feta. There’s also an option to build your own pasta plate featuring rigatoni, gnocchi, and risotto with an abundance of sauces, meats, veggies, and cheeses for topping." - Ellen Fort
