"Italian-born chef Mirko Di Giacomantonio originally debuted Mirko Pasta near Atlanta, and has since expanded regionally. In Donelson, diners can choose their own adventure by pairing a broad list of homemade pasta and sauces. Skip over to the entrée section for hearty executions of Italian classics, like eggplant alla Parmigiana or the Tuscan stew. The rest of the menu—antipasti and soup, plus plentiful options of salads and sandwiches. Drop in for weekly happy hour specials featuring discounted glasses of wine and sangria." - Justin Bonnema
