The 13 Best Restaurants In Downtown Nashville - Nashville - The Infatuation

"Yolan is the best Italian restaurant in the city, and a place that’s extremely worth the splurge. You’ll find it on the ground floor of The Joseph Nashville hotel, tucked into a spot right off the lobby. They used to primarily do a tasting menu, but they’ve recently switched over to a seasonal a la carte format. Definitely start with an order of the sourdough focaccia before diving into plates of antipasti, cacio e pepe, bucatini all’amatriciana​, and perfectly rendered proteins. And the desserts here are just as impressive (sometimes even more so) than the mains. Top it off with a wine pairing of unique Italian varietals, and consider getting a room upstairs for the night. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
