Nashville’s Best Italian Restaurants | Eater Nashville

"The flagship location of Brooklyn-born Frankies is a complex in East Nashville that includes the Pizzeria and the Bottega, and Frankies Spuntino 925, located in a former mattress factory within the Laurel and Pine development. Frankie’s Sputino is the full-service restaurant of the three, dishing up an Italian American menu peppered with Sicilian-style meatballs with pine nuts and raisins, escarole and cannellini bean soup, and gnocchi marinara. The pizzeria offers pizza, salads, and beer, in a casual walk-in setting while the bottega is all about take-home delights, from dried pasta and olive oils to salumi and prepared food items." - Ellen Fort
