Pasta Purveyor Nicoletto’s Italian Kitchen Opens Today in Hillsboro Village - Eater Nashville

"East side pasta purveyor Nicoletto’s Italian Kitchen expands to Hillsboro Village today — opening with fresh pasta, salads, and sandwiches on Belcourt Avenue. The new carb-centric outpost at 2123 Belcourt opens at 11 a.m. on Friday, November 15. The Nicoletto brothers’ pasta company specializes in bronze cut, fresh and dried pasta and the Italian kitchen serves build-your-own-style pasta bowls and more. Open on Gallatin Pike since early 2016, the original Nicoletto’s is owned and operated by brothers Danny and Ryan Nicoletto. The roughly 700-square-foot East Nashville space beside Mickey’s Tavern serves as a full service retail spot for their dried and fresh pastas, plus a 16-seat fast-casual restaurant serving a simple menu of pastas, meatballs, and salad. Nicoletto’s also serves a late night menu (until midnight) on weekends — with meatball subs, Italian beef, green chili mac and cheese, and more on offer." - Delia Jo Ramsey

Nicoletto’s Takes Fresh Pasta and Meatballs to Hillsboro Village - Eater Nashville

"The Nashville Business Journal reported earlier this week that East side pasta purveyor Nicoletto’s Italian Kitchen has its sights set on Hillsboro Village for a second location. The new carb-centric spot slides another former home of carbs of another sort — the just closed Bare Naked Bagel location — at 2123 Belcourt Avenue. More details about the expansion will be added as more information becomes available. Open on Gallatin Pike since early 2016, the original Nicoletto’s is owned and operated by brothers Danny and Ryan Nicoletto. The roughly 700-square-foot East Nashville space beside Mickey’s Tavern serves as a full service retail spot for their dried and fresh pastas, plus a 16-seat fast-casual restaurant serving a simple menu of pastas, meatballs, and salad.

Great quality ingredients. Ordered the spinach fettuccine, add broccoli and vegan meatballs. I went with the pink sauce as recommended by other reviewers, it was decent a bit too indulgent for my taste. The pasta itself was perfectly cooked and the vegan meatballs were very flavorful. I would definitely eat here again if in the area. Next time I’ll just try a different sauce.

Nice pre- theater dinner. Pasta was fresh and sauces were excellent. The cannoli was an excellent way to top off the meal.

I had the spinach fettuccine with Alfredo sauce, the noodles were amazing. We brought the only remaining bag of campinelli noodles home to Wisconsin and used them for our dinner last night. Only thing I'd had to say is I wish they had more bags to purchase!

I got a very basic meal - spaghetti Bolognese with mushrooms and a Chicago Chop Salad. I figured it would be good dishes to try the place out with. But it seems it wasn't meant to be as I can't recommend even the basics. Honestly, the pasta was not good. The spaghetti itself was not al dente - incredibly mushy actually - and the Bolognese sauce is flavorless. It just tastes like ground meat...not much else (lacking even the basics like salt). The salad and dressing were fine, but the side bread also lacked flavor (the croutons on the salad however were delicious and sadly, one of the most flavorful things amongst the dishes along with the dressing). It was absolutely not worth the price considering the quality and quantity. The pasta maybe more 'worth it' if it could deliver on flavor (but charging $2.95 for mushrooms when you only get perhaps 1.5 mushrooms is not - yes I counted and it was 11 thin slices on my spaghetti. These are not truffles) but the salad is not appropriately priced. Meal was almost $30 without delivery charges. It's just not worth it for flavorless food.

Great selection of fresh pasta and other Italian favorites! The food is good, portions are big, and it's not too expensive either. I didn't like the Italian poutine but honestly just personal preference not a knock on their prep of the dish

First off, the food was on point. The chicken Parm was tender with a delicious marinara and very fresh mozzarella and basil. The arugula salad also very fresh and served with a tasty basil vinaigrette. Focaccia bread on the side was good. What was disappointing: we arrived at 8:35pm after seeing a film at The Belcourt and, uncertain of the hours, asked an employee who was clearing outdoor tables if they were still open. She seemed uncertain of the time and came across less than welcoming but did invite us inside. While placing our order my wife asked what wine she recommended and we got a response something to the effect of "Oh, I don't know." My wife then said she'd like to try the chianti and the response was "Well, I'd have to open a bottle," conveying - intentionally or not - that this would seemingly be a bother. I suppose she may have had a rough day of service (though the restaurant hours, I later discovered, are only 4pm-9pm so that's hardly killer service hours), but as an Italian restaurant (fast-casual notwithstanding) you a) have to know about your wine offerings; and b) never turn down an opportunity to make a beverage sale given the revenue you are otherwise losing. As it stood, both of us just ended up with a cup of water. We will definitely be back as the food was delicious. Hoping we just caught an off night on service.

Kiosk/ Food Court /Food Truck style, everything is extra. Water is self service. This would do well in an airport. Similar to Nothing But Noodles. Not trying to put this place down for it not being what it isn't, but the first 3 pages of reviews do not reflect that this is a food court college cafeteria style business model. The food was good. Mosquitos need spraying under that deck in front. A salient point that no one at either location we visited even realized we are asking our questions about seating because we are looking for a sit down restaurant. With confidence they told us at the East location that the other Hillsboro location has indoor seating.

The food was ok and restaurant was ok — somewhere between fast food and sit down. Staff was rushed but environment was clean and enjoyable. Caprese salad was amazing.

I was in town for work, and the student that I was visiting wanted Italian, and I gave her a list of several locations, she said that she thought she would like, so off we went. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the menu had some great options! We split garlic knots that had delicious butter and garlic For my main course I had the seafood special with red sauce and pasta, it was very tasty My "date" had shrimp Alfredo and she loved it. All around great experience! Check them out if are in the area!

I swung by A Slice of Italy for a pickup order recently, and I have to say, it's a pretty solid spot. Upon my arrival, I first noticed the outdoor seating area, which set a nice vibe for the restaurant. As soon as I walked in, the staff introduced themselves and were quick to help, which I really appreciated! I am positive the service would have been just as good if I had decided to dine in. I ordered an XL cheese pizza (added jalapeños and onions to one half) with a large Caesar salad, and they threw in some garlic knots for free with a coupon. The pizza was tasty, classic New York style. The Caesar salad was very fresh and the garlic knots were buttery and satisfying. The portions were generous, and I ended up with plenty of leftovers, which felt like a good deal for the price (~$35). Admittedly, I felt that the pizza wasn't as tasty reheated (maybe user error!), but the salad was still on point, showing they use quality ingredients. Overall, A Slice of Italy is a spot I'd come back to. If you're craving Italian and want a decent meal without breaking the bank, give it a shot.

Came here with a group of friends for dinner and had a great time. The servers were super friendly, always smiling, and were attentive to our every need. Food was decent, not awesome. We ended up getting a few salads, a few apps, some pizzas, and some pastas. The Cesar and Greek salads were exactly what you would expect. The mozzarella sticks were perfectly cooked and the cheese pull was insane!! The garlic knots were delicious and soft (could have been a tiny bit more garlicky in my opinion), and they paired perfectly with the marinara sauce. The server brought us a complimentary basket of garlic knots after I told him I review on yelp and he just had the biggest smile. Loved him! :) As for the pizzas, we got pesto chicken and pesto veggie. They were very pesto forward (which we liked), but I did feel like they were too cheesy. Maybe that's just because I tend to enjoy a pizza that isn't overwhelmingly cheesy, and we also didn't get a red base pizza which may have been different, but the cheese was just too thick. As for pastas, we got the cheese ravioli and eggplant parm. I personally didn't try the eggplant parm but the cheese ravioli was standard and good. Overall, I did enjoy this place, but it wasn't the best Italian food. A good place to dine with some friends, though.

Don't get confused, these is not an Italian place.... The pizza looks good but the rest of the dishes are not to the standard of Italian food.. The calamari was dry and no flavor.. The eggplant parmigiana was not good... Pasta...i can't explain.... I don't like given a bad review to these place but I love Italian food and I think it really needs to be improved in order to serve Italian dishes

So one day of our trip we just had to relax and stay nearby our housing unit. This place was in walking distance of our Apt rental. My travel buddy does not eat pizza but was game to go along with me and hand out. Me and my pizza. Ha! I just wanted a slice but they dd not offer them at night I guess, so I got a small pizza. It was too much for just me so shared with a stranger, who was a delightful author. I ended up taking it back to the apt and had lots of leftovers. Yummy. So their individual size pizza is really a small and is pretty big. It can be shared with 2 or 3 people. The pie was actual pretty good for Ms. Picky NY pizza lady here. The people are nice. I love the covered patio that reminded me of the food truck places in Portland. Good experience all around and thank you.

Cold wet night so decided to order in. I must applaud SOI for delivering a hot delicious pizza that was not a greasy mess. I almost forgot to take a pic before destroying the pie. The crust was crispy and all of the ingredients were fresh. Now I wish I would have ventured out to get it hot out of the oven.

I've tried a few pizzas from here and they are always delicious! My favorite has been the gluten free bbq pizza! It's thin crust and very crispy and the right amount of smoky and sweet. They have a great patio area too!

This is a very basic eating place, do not expect anything hi fi. Their presentation (of dessert) etc is good. Customer service is decent. We tried the kids spaghetti marinara which was very good, fettuccini Alfredo was decent. The vegetarian pizza base was very nice but the veggies topping kept on it did not go well with the base, I guess getting the base pizza (like cheese etc) would be good. Tiramisu was good and presented well. In starters caprese salad was good, japapeno toppers was decent. Overall decent lunch.

A fantastic casual Italian spot near Vanderbilt! It's a family business with a lot of the items on the menu being homemade. The service is super friendly and welcoming. We got the baked ziti (entree) and garlic knots (appetizer) for two as we weren't feeling too hungry, and the portion sizes were generous and we left very satisfied. Loved the garlic sauce under the garlic knots, and the tomato sauce tasted very fresh throughout each dish. Everything is very reasonably priced. Will be back!

This place needs to stay in Hillsboro. The ingredients are top tier. The service amazing. Quick for a nice a midnight order if you know what I'm saying. Only a 4/5 because of price but that's 2024. Will be back for sure.

After reading the positive reviews and getting a mailer, we were very excited to try a Slice of Italy. We also loved that they delivered to Green Hills. For our family dinner, we ordered 3 pizzas, a calzone and two salads - a greek salad and a chicken caesar. We were disappointed with everything but especially the salads. One of the salads had a fly in it and the other the chicken was inedible - chewy and filmy. I cannot express how disappointed with the food we were. I called the restaurant and spoke with the person on duty and he offered to send new salads but considering we were done and they were not appetizing, I declined. I asked for my money back and was told that the manager would call me back. However, I have yet to hear from the manager.

This is an excellent Italian restaurant. The pastas are authentic and best flavors. The owners provide a great service! Bring your own wine to enjoy fully.

*TLDR: Pizza joint doesn't wanna sell pizza When they first opened a couple weeks ago the customer service was on point. As a local I confidently brought my family today and the same waiter must have had a bad day because he was in a terrible mood and made sure we knew it. We ordered a pizza and salad which should be an easy order for "slice of italy" but when we ordered they did not seem happy to serve us.. The ambiance is good but the whole family had a miserable look and it showed in the service sadly ruining the vibes of what could be an amazing establishment. Left feeling disappointed like I upset them for bringing them business to a new contender in a competitive restaurant scene. At least they apologized as we left for knowingly treating us bad for the entirety of the visit. I will get pizza elsewhere and going forward will take my family to different restaurants in the area....

The pizza was freshly made in front of us and delicious!! Family owned and ran, so sweet! Service was great and they were attentive. Inside is a little small but they also have an enclosed patio area! I ate the pizza way too fast to even take a picture. We will come back next time we are in Nashville.

OMG, this has to be the best Italian Restaurant in town. Yes, I have been to Maggianos, yes I have been to Carrabas and many of the pizza joints. This small place beats them hands down. Everything is fresh, and made in house. This is simply the best Italian food. It tastes like you are eating at a friend's house in Rome. The homemade sauces are to die for. If you don't try this food you will be very sorry. I had the linguine with red clam sauce. best in town. We also had the fried to perfection calamari. My wife loved the lasagna with meat sauce and she is a lasagna snob. We finished with lemoncello cake and a Belgian chocolate mousse. Heavenly.

I just gotta say, this place is a hidden treasure. I've been here twice - both were great experiences. It's a family owned business, and you can tell how much they care about it! They're so sweet & very knowledgeable about their food. One of the owners even informed us of the most optimal way to enjoy the tiramisu. You can tell they're excited to serve their homemade food. We ordered the garlic knots, some pizza, and tiramisu...it was absolutely delicious. The cozy ambiance + the kind & passionate employees + delicious food = treasure on Belcourt.

Michael R.

Delicious ziti pasta with marinara sauce, reasonably priced and quickly served. The caprese salad was good, but could have a more generous portion for its price. Complimentary garlic bread with lunch, hooray! Perfect for dipping in both the salad and pasta. When the deck is ready (very soon, I was told by the warmly welcoming proprietor), Taste of Italy should be the best place in Nashville to hang out and have pizza or pasta or subs, right across the street from the Belcourt Theatre.

Marcie B.

Yelp
So happy to have a GOOD Italian restaurant in the neighborhood! We had a supreme pizza, crust was delicious, and all fresh toppings. Spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo, and ziti florentine. All were delicious The Ziti Florentine is one of the best pasta dishes I've had in Nashville. The service was great, and the porch was just a really nice place to have dinner. Welcome to the neighborhood! We will be back!

this was our first time coming here and everything was absolutely amazing. everyone working was so nice and welcoming and the food was just as great! we got the garlic knots, mozz sticks and a cheese pizza and it was all hot and fresh. the vibe sitting out on the covered patio area was really nice and relaxing and we will def be coming back here to support this new family-owned business!
