Italian Restaurants in Nashville

When Guy Fieri rolled into Nashville on his quest for America’s greatest eats, he discovered that Music City serves up more than just hot chicken and honky-tonks. The city’s Italian food scene earned its spot in Flavortown with three standout establishments that caught Triple D’s attention. Leading the pack is Caffe Nonna with an impressive 4.6-star rating, delivering authentic Italian flavors that had Guy reaching for seconds. Bottle Cap impressed at 4.4 stars, while Nicky’s Coal Fired brought the heat with their signature coal-fired creations at 4.2 stars.

With an average rating of 4.4 stars across all three featured spots—and every single one still serving customers today—Nashville proves it can hang with the best when it comes to Italian cuisine. From handmade pastas to wood-fired perfection, these restaurants showcase why Guy keeps coming back to Tennessee.
