The 11 Most Fun Dinner Spots In Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"The pressure to provide dazzling conversation on a first date is no joke. At Iggy’s, you can let the restaurant do most of the talking for you. Book two seats at the chef’s bar in the back—not only can you watch the kitchen crew pulling together dishes like the wild mushroom tortellini and rigatoni bolognese, but they’re happy to banter a bit in between cooking and plating. See the room to the right? That’s where a dedicated pasta chef rolls, crimps, and cuts dough, sometimes with the help of a fancy machine. And if you’re still scrambling to fill in any conversational lulls, you’ve got some extra talking points with the funky cheetah-print chairs, wall murals, and other interior touches." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
