Christa M. "We had dinner here because one of our tour guides from an earlier tour we took recommended it. We stopped by around 7:45pm and we were the only ones there. We looked over the menu for a few minutes and a friendly employee finally came on over to greet us and take our orders. My sister had the Gnocchi Bolognese and I created my own pasta bowl. I chose the Radiatori pasta with Arrabbiata sauce and beef meatballs and both entrees came with bread.We sat down to eat inside because it was way too cold outside. We waited about 10 - 15 minutes for our food and it was brought on over to us by another friendly employee. At this time, another group of people came in to dine. My pasta was delicious. The pasta was cooked al dente - just like I like it and the sauce was sooo good. It had so much flavor. The bread had a nice crisp to it and it was not at all dry. The meatballs were plentiful and they also tasted really good. My sister was not a fan of her Gnocchi Bolognese and said it wasn't a good mixture. It was too mushy for her and she did not like the taste of the sauce. The inside was clean and the music was great. The bathroom was also very clean. Overall good food and great service, thank you!"

John T. "3.5I didn't get it. The dining room was gorgeous. The plates were expensive. The scene was deliberate. But, I didn't get it. I left feeling like Yolan was expensive for expensive's sake. I entered Yolan with some excitement. I was meeting friends from NYC and LA and I was eager to show off what Nashville was now.* Walking in, the main dining room is is a bit muted (where you might be expecting drama): ceilings that should be higher than they are, nicely-adorned (but not unusual) tables, soothing blues speckled against the walls, comfortable chairs (reminded me of the 70s/more comfortable than fashionable, which was fine by me). The aesthetic is more 'lobby' than 'chic dining room.' With a wall of bottles staring at us, the immediate impression was that the meal would be decadent.It was decent.We were encouraged to share plates but given the size of some portions, sharing was more awkward than enjoyable. Midway into the dining experience, we cut bait and ordered for ourselves. Before falling into the luxury of Italian wine, I began my meal with a seasonal mule and a lamb 'starter.' The mule was pleasant (dominant note was 'ice') and the lamb was tasty (seasoned and succulent, just not much of it). We broke into the wine routine and shared pasta dishes. Again, I could taste the fresh ingredients and house-made everything but scooping a bite between four people does not an enjoyable meal make. I went rogue and chose the trout. Served with radish and micro greens, over a bed of lentils and paired with a (mushroom-based?) sauce, I was very satisfied with my plate. By this time, my size expectations had been measured so I concentrated on the smell, taste, visual appeal, and texture of my meal rather than if it would sate my hunger. We finished the meal with a bite of a chocolate truffle. Throughout the meal, we had adequate service. There were a couple of hiccups but they were quickly corrected.To borrow parlance from the kids, I kept waiting for the beat to drop. The meal was... fine. But the price point was not fine. It was 'fine dining.' Do you get the picture? I am not some garish American, demanding Golden Corral amounts of food for McDonalds prices. I have eaten around the world and in all sorts of settings (high and low). This was... fine. Thing is, your wallet will remember the meal long after your palate has forgotten it.*'Now' being late Autumn a few years ago. The gild is off the lily."

Markus D L. "After a night out on the town filled with lots of booze and dance moves, Florence's Mediterranean pizza truly hit the spot. It was one of the places that still delivered at 2/3 in the morning. And idk if eating it in a nice cold hotel room bed made it even better, but it tasted good to me. I like a little less crust, but that wasn't really an issue... I actually didn't know it was Florence when I ordered... it was listed as Nashville Pizza Oven on Uber Eats, but the same address and phone # Then I saw the business listed as closed on Yelp. I know I ate this pizza from somewhere lol. And i have a picture to prove there was actual pizza. Not sure who I talked to, but they said they are trying to correct the mistakes.I see a lot of negative reviews on here, so Idk if the rest of the menu is a problem, but I can only review what I know... late night pizza! It might even taste different during the day, or when I'm completely sober, but that's to be determined I live in one of the top 5 pizza cities in the country, so my standards are high. Did this compare, not really but for my first pizza experience in Nashville, it did not let me down!!!"

Our host Ron was gracious and professional and answered all of our questions about the dishes. The wine list was extensive -- I ordered a Reisling which really had the right balance of sweet and crisp flavors. There were plenty of vegetarian options. The appetizers were lovely, especially the roasted artichokes. The spinach ravioli in brown butter sauce was divine and great for dipping bread. My husband loved the eggplant Parmesan. All the pasta is made in-house and is so fresh. They also provided a complimentary tiramisu as a birthday dessert. Ambiance was lovely and they even have a separate event space upstairs. We have not had Italian food this good since we lived in Boston and dined in the North End!"

My Linguine with clams was probably the best pasta dish I ever had besides outside of Italy. The pasta, the sauce with a special kick and the clams were just so delicious and mouthwatering. This restaurant was extremely good, and we ended up going there 3 times in a row for lunch while in town. Unfortunately, I didn't try their pizza or other items but each of my co-workers had nothing but good things to say about their food.I'm a fan and wish we had you guys here in Southern California!!!5 stars for delicious food and friendly service.Needless to say, I 'll be back.Enjoy and Bon Appétit."

It might be that I've never had the right pasta before because this stuff right here is amazing!We were in town for one night with the youngest kiddo for a Vandy visit. She wanted pasta, it was her trip, so I obliged and found this place I had bookmarked near our hotel. Walked in and met a nice man in a chefs coat. He cleared a table for us and we sat down. He asked if we had been there before, nope, so he explained the process of how things work up in here. You order from your phone and things just arrive when they are ready. It's a bit clunky feeling ordering and receiving your stuff. One dish came before all drinks, alcohol was served before soda glasses (get your own soda, but not glasses), one meal at a time served with several minutes between. The pasta dude makes food one dish at a time. The loud ass Italian dude behind the oven screamed at me across the restaurant for looking at him inquisitively while he cooked before we even ordered. Needless to say, the service is strange. I don't give a shit though...This food is amazing! Everything we had was phenomenal. I won't dwell and make this review too long but check my pics attached. Stupid good foods. ALL PIZZAS WISHED THEY HAD THAT ONION JAM!!!! GAME OVERMy 17 yr old, picky as hell, kiddo ate the entire plate of food she had, (I tried it and can confirm it is the best pasta I've ever tasted) and then stole the whole tiramisu for her own consumption after trying to order all of the desserts they had. Get your ass in here. Get it, now! It is really good.'24 - 56/100"

The crust was perfect and the cheese and sauce perfectly complimented that dough and crust.The staff was friendly and the place has a cool enough vibe and ambiance. Parking can be a bit of an issue. But it is what it is.I grew up in New Jersey and just took it for granted that great pizza was available on every corner. When I moved south back in 2001, I was both shocked and dismayed to find that great (or even good pizza) was not available on every corner and in fact, was hard to find. When great pizza is found, it is indeed a time to celebrate (and what better way to celebrate than with a slice of pizza in hand?).I would definitely recommend Five Points Pizza and I will give it five stars for an excellent pizza."

It feels like a pizzeria (not a fancy restaurant) and they have an easy location to get to off Lebanon Pike with their own parking lot.I got their Greek salad without cheese & it was better than average. But, I did really enjoy the meatball appetizer I got as my main; they had lots of flavor and the marinara sauce was just right! I would totally come back for this. We also shared the tiramisu, but it wasn't for me; very few ladyfingers and a lot of icing (/mascarpone) and not much coffee flavor. We'll have to try the pizza next time.They don't bring bread to your table, but the entrees come with a side of what looks like frozen Texas toast they put on the grill. A little weird, but okay. I think they have a lot of youngsters working their first jobs ever here for the summer hosting & bussing....but out server was not; she was a total rockstar."

I shared a truffle pizza, and it was delicious. It featured real, shaved at your table truffle. The crust was authentic and the pizza was cooked to the right level at high temps. It's worth the premium! Others at my table enjoyed their lasagna and meatball pizzas - all plates and pizza trays were emptied.I'll be back!"

It's a great spot that offers delivery, perfect for enjoying by the pool, satisfying late-night cravings, or watching a movie! The pizza was good with no issues, and the wings were extra crispy, which is always a plus!We passed by it a few times, and it looks like a traditional pizzeria shop, very well kept inside. I did see some reviews mentioning issues with the deep dish, but we didn't order those, so I can't comment. Overall, I would definitely order from here again!Regarding Yelp, I recently had my Elite status removed after 8 years because I'm a business owner. Despite not being related or affiliated with any food businesses--only a local real estate office in NY--Yelp managers believe a business owner shouldn't be an Elite reviewer. In my opinion, being a business owner shouldn't disqualify someone from providing honest and fair reviews of unrelated businesses. My reviews are meant to be helpful and honest, and I believe that shouldn't affect my Elite status."

They made up for it with great food, shout out to the crew working hard in the open view kitchen and Savanah gifting one or two items off the bill - goes a long way. The experience thereafter was grand, here we go:- bolognese rigatoni something had a red sauce with fra Diavlo overtones that was excellent albeit pasta was more cooked than I like it but certainly not overcooked. It's was really good.- fried meatballs that were moist and in another decadent red sauce. Wonderful.- arugula salad with a citrus based salad dressing and candied pistachio that might have been the best damn salad I've had in some time.- prosciutto plate with two cheeses: one was like a Romano hard, sharp cheese that was pretty good. The star, the mozzarella was something I'd find on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx's famous Italian market. - dessert was a panacotta treat with a great flavor profile.This place is the real deal. If I return to this culinary paradise that is Nashville, I will return here as well. Bien hecho!"

It's also unique in that the whole restaurant starts dancing in the middle of the dinner. And the chef's concept is dinner as a big family like Italian families. Overall really nice experience."

The only reservation they had day of was 5:00 so we made it happen. Thankfully, after showing up late due to the rush they were still able to seat us. Our table was upstairs against the wall but at least we had a great meal with wonderful service. We order a bottle of red and the poached pear to start. The poach pear was hard to pass since it was unique and not on every Italian menu. It was stuffed with ricotta, paired with prosciutto Parmesan and seared with bread. The pear its self was the best of the night. I opted for the eggplant parm and fiancé got the pasta with lamb. His was tasteful and different which I recommend. The eggplant parm was thick cuts and breaded but no show stopper. The ambiance is beautiful, with sweet sounds of Sinatra all night. Such a lovely place to dine."

Café 100

Café 100

★★★★☆ 3.6 (75)

Gregory B. "This is an updated review of the Cafe 100 in Bellevue about 1 mile from the Loveless Cafe (and across from the Kroger). It is in the location the old Bria restaurant sat, although you will not recognize the place, even if you routinely went there when it was Bria.Cafe 100 is a new Italian concept owned by Keith Simpkins and his wife Amy Marsalis Simpkins (Amy Marsalis once worked on News Channel 5). Talking to Keith, the idea was opening something with reasonably priced finer dining that had a more neighborhood cafe type of feel. I think he nailed the atmosphere. From his vintage flags and open airy seating area (and a nice custom bar), it does feel a bit like an upscale cheers. Steve is pictured in the bar picture along with the manager (behind the bar) and one of his lead waitresses.In the pictures, I have my first visit (updated review), which was the tomahawk pork chop, which is covered with a blackberry bourbon glaze. I have also included the bread served with every meal and the biscuit donuts. On a return trip, I was with a friend and we both got the cast iron steak (he chose the filet, I chose the ribeye) and I got a bit of his black cherry tira misu.Review time. Atmosphere is on point for a more casual feeling upscale place. Service was excellent. I think a lot of it comes from how the owners treat the employees, which creates a nice culture that is passed on to the employees.For the part you are most interested in? The food! The pork chop was well cooked. I feel the blackberry bourbon glaze could use a skosh more bourbon to bring out the flavor, but was still a nice addition to the pork chop. The side dish is a mac & cheese with a lot going on. The latest menu appears to be white cheddar, but this version was a mix of cheeses including a pepper jack that has a big pepper bite. It is topped with homemade corncake crumble. Perosonally I thought there was too much going on, although the flavors were nice.How about the steaks? This is, again, almost too much. They have a 35+ day wet aged Filet or a 60+ day dry aged ribeye, so we are talking really good beef. Once you get the rosemary butter (more like rosemary chimichurri when I went) and the mushroooms, it is overwhelming. I would honestly ask for the steak with just a light seasoning and get the other stuff on the side. I substitued crispy Brussels for the potatoes to keep from too much carbs, but had a taste of the smashed potatoes. Both are nicely done.Desserts? The signature biscuit donuts are very nice. Served with a cappucino gelato, these are the bomb. But, the tiramisu is even a step above. If you have already eaten and are in Bellevue thinking "wish I had dessert", this is worth a stop. As a note: I think Chef Steve De Vellis is young and bold and may be trying a bit too hard. There is tons of umami in the meals, which makes it hard to finish, even if you are not completely full. I went home and scraped the stuff off the steak and found slapping it in a hot skillet to quickly reheat, sans the rosemary butter, was a much nicer experience. The original mac & cheese was in the same family, so thinking the menu change to cheddar was due to feedback. I think he has some really awesome ideas that just need a bit of tweaking. Overall impression? I really love the vibe Keith and Amy have created and the way they treat everyone leads to a restaurant where customers feel more like friends. I also think with a bit of restraint, Chef could be a very good chef. I will return at some point, probably after they get more legs under them, as I really enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking to the owners and staff. With a few tweaks, I predict they will have a successful run."

An extra bonus is the small bar in the back and TVs if you want to drop in for dinner and catch a game. The menu includes most of the popular Italian favorites. Pizza can be ordered by the slice or an entire pie. We shared a small Supreme pizza (yes, it's enough to share with 6 big slices) and a delicious fresh Greek salad. The service was friendly and fast. I walked in and ordered to go which took about 10 mins. The pizza - lots of cheese, a little tomato sauce, loads of yummy/ fresh veggies, piping hot and the most perfect crust I have ever tasted. I did notice others getting extra tomato sauce to go with their orders which I recommend if you like a lot of sauce. I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed."

"I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Salento Italia...and it would have been even better if I'd gone with folks who enjoy fine cuisine (unfortunately I did not).On 3/9 I was in a group of 9 eating at this restaurant for my mother's birthday. I was at once taken with how cute the restaurant was. The lower level featured an open floor plan, and a large bar area. The upstairs was smaller but well lit with a bunch of tables, chairs, and booths. The only downsides were the bathrooms are all on the first floor and all the food had to be carried up the stairs 2 plates at a time. We were seated on the 2nd floor of course.Our waitress was great, attentive and unfailingly polite despite many in my party being annoying and basic AF.Ordering took forever but that was due to us, not to the wait staff. I ordered a beer, which was very good, and the filet mignon. I didn't order my own appetizer but sampled all the appetizers folks around me ordered. The focaccia, calamari, and bruschetta were fabulous. And my steak was amazing! I cleaned my plate! Unfortunately, a lot of the people in my party ordered the chicken pasta dish, then complained it was too dry when it arrived. They're likely used to Americanized takes on food, which includes too much sauce and portions that are too large.Dessert was gelato, pistachio was the absolute best! I'd definitely return next time I'm in the Nashville area!"

And each dish features that scrumptious, hearty, slightly chewy pasta expertly cooked al dente. Delicioso!The menu is quite impressive and extraordinarily creative! Clever dishes include gnocchi in a salumi bolognese, octopus with capers and taggiasca olives, braised rabbit with a forest mushroom sauce, and even fusion dishes like a pizza with Italian finocchiona salami and pickled Asian shishito peppers! Best of all, they support local businesses by acquiring meat products from places like Bucksnort Trout Ranch and the much-heralded Bear Creek Farm in Leiper's Fork.After scanning the menu and all its irresistible options, I chose an Italian classic that I've eaten in Italy many times, the cacio e pepe featuring tonnarelli pasta, pecorino romano cheese, and pepper. It's simple but perfectly flavorful. And I'd say any dish here will live up to your expectations."

No need to add your own salt, pepper or seasonings. There was a small side salad (lettuce, cheese, olives, jalapeno, tomato), pita bread and this delicious white sauce (some type of Ranch dressing base) on the side.My husband already told us that this is our new go-to for Greek chicken.

William W. "It's a good thing Italian American chef Frank Pullara moved to our neck of the woods during the pandemic, because he's created two great restaurants. Culamar is a relatively new addition to downtown Franklin, opened in 2023 as Bestia Mare. If their new moniker sounds familiar, its sister restaurant Culaccino was opened by Pullara across the street. In fact, Culamar is literally a portmanteau of CULAccino and MARe (the Italian word for sea). But Culamar's specialty lies in Italian seafood dishes, something we've been lacking in Middle Tennessee far less common on Nashville's Italian scene.With a tremendous variety of fresh a la carte oysters, and dishes highlighting fish, lobster, crab, octopus, and clams, this is an excellent destination for seafood lovers. I found the Cioppino, one of my favorite dishes, to be on par with the best versions in San Francisco! And it's a hard dish to find in Middle Tennessee!As an artichoke lover, I wasn't crazy about the Artichoke Cianfotta side dish nor the Crema Catalana dessert, a Spanish custard akin to a crème brûlée. But I can absolutely vouch for the quality of the seafood here!"

The sauce on it was just not it, it splashed everywhere, the lobster pieces on it were rubbery, and the flavor was like leather.

With hard working employees, an extensive menu, and a beautiful and spacious outdoor patio, half of which is shaded, it's a great spot to hang out with large parties.The ratings on all platforms are a shockingly inflated though, perhaps reflecting the alcoholic selections rather than the food. The kitchen offerings are less than impressive, so going here for a drink with friends is probably preferable to planning an actual meal here. The Italian beef sandwich is devoid of flavor, only briefly intriguing with occasional bites of giardiniera relish amidst the bland beef and cheese on an average bun. The fish and chips aren't bad, but while the fish is fresh, the crispy batter is surprisingly underwhelming in flavor.The pub is severely understaffed, so it could take as long as two hours to receive your food during peak hours. But the few employees are incredibly pleasant and very hard working. So please be patient and enjoy hanging out."
