"Move over Locust and Kase—Nashville's newest Italian spot is one of the hardest reservations to get in town. Prime dinner times at V Modern Italian in the Gulch are booked over two weeks out, and it’s one of the sceniest places in all of Nashville. You’ll find fashion content creators posing in front of the massive tree in the middle of the restaurant with glasses of Dolce Palomas and dressy bachelorettes showing off their black truffle sourdough pie from the marble triangle table on the patio. It can be a bit much with all the marble, gold, and mythology-inspired murals. But the food—like the scampi reginette in a creamy lobster bisque and the tender tuscan chicken—makes the whole scene worth it, even if that’s not really your thing." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
