My girlfriend and I came here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Best choice ever!! We were greeted by our wonderful server, Meg. She was so bubbly and funny, gave us the best recommendations and promptly came to check on us. We loved literally everything we ordered down to all 4 apps we got, 4 drinks and an entree (we were hungryyy) and they did not disappoint in any dish. The manager, Bradley, was so friendly and accommodating and even gave us a complimentary desert for our night! We WILL be back just for the experience alone, you guys made us have the best night together!! We look forward to seeing you soon for more of those delicious asparagus fritters

This was a somewhat disappointing experience unfortunately. The food was very hit or miss. As an appetizer I got the meatballs which were pretty dry, the sauce and ricotta was great with it but the meatballs were not great. One of the salad the roasted pear salad was fantastic very good combination of freshness and flavor. With the entrees I split the gnocchi and the lamb loin. I’ll start with the gnochhi, it was very good tasted very homemade and fresh, I thoroughly enjoyed that dish. However the lamb loin was not very good. Very little to no seasoning, some pieces were very chewy and was not very tender. For the price I am paying I expect better quality cut and better preparation. And then finally the dessert was especially bad, tasting like water downed coffee tiramisu. It was way too liquidy and didnt have a good texture or flavor.

With this place I see the potential and if you get the right things, you would walk away very satisfied, however it was just way too inconsistent for me at such a high end place for me to give this a good review.

2.8/5

Bradly the manager was the absolute best and Charlie our waiter was friendly and attentive. We had a great visit and definitely plan on returning.

Italian can be difficult to navigate with my gluten free mother but they knew exactly how to help her. We appreciated that so much.

We went here for a birthday dinner. Had to wait 45 mins for a bar seating. The tables were so close together that actually knocked glasses off a table when I took off my coat. I found the food to be bland. The sweet potato salad had -0- flavor. I had to salt it to bring taste to it. My husband’s mussel appetizer was amazing but the steak was like the salad, no flavor. The birthday was mentioned to the bartender/waiter as a celebration of the event, he brought out the tiramisu and still charged for the birthday dessert after we spent $300 on the dinner. I won’t be back. This was the only bad experience we had on our visit to Franklin.

Food is made fresh daily! Absolutely loved the Campanelle, the pork shank was delicious! We really enjoyed the asparagus fritters. The tiramisu came highly recommended by Charlie our server but was 86’d, we went with the pumpkin budino which was fabulous!!

If you are Gluten Free.. you need to RUN to this restaurant. They serve by far the BEST GF pasta in the area. I have tried so many italian restaurants in Middle tennessee and the flavor and texture of the noodles were perfect. So tasty. I specifically got the Campanelle and oh my! So delicious. They also have an amazing flourless chocolate cake that is divine. Usually when I’ve ordered flourless cakes in the past, they’re SO rich. I can maybe have two bites. This cake? I devoured by myself. Perfection. Also, we ordered their special fall old fashioned but unfortunately only had enough to make one instead of three.. well they came up with a special old fashioned for two of us and wow was it good! I highly recommend this place! Everyone is so friendly too!

Great place to get some good Italian food. Pasta was being made from scratch in the kitchen next to us. Nice atmosphere. I had pizza and it was delicious.

Went for lunch & overall a solid experience. Drinks were fabulous. Calamari was delicious – loved the fried lemon slices in the dish. It was a nice surprise.

Pasta left something to be desired. Noodles were very thick and slightly under, and there was a lot of salt – probably from the peccorino. Could’ve used a squeeze of lemon to brighten it up. Risotto needed salt and less time in the pot, texture was almost too soft.

Dessert was delicious- raspberry paired really nicely with the chocolate. It was on the dense side but wasn’t too sweet. Great balance.

Overall, great experience. Wait staff were very attentive and helpful. Looking forward to coming back.

Went here for a valentine’s day dinner. We had a weird seating arrangement and we asked to move but were unable to for reservation reasons. The food was amazing and our server Meg was the best! Our drinks were great quality, not some watered down bs. When we received our bill, we were compensated for the seating inconvenience. They didn’t say a word, they just made it right. These are the kinds of places I will happily spend my money with. I will be back as it has become one of my favorite spots in all of Franklin. Not too often nowadays do you walk out of a restaurant and feel like every dollar was worth it, and then some. This is what eating out is supposed to feel like. Well done, I love this place.

My best friend and I had lunch here today. It was excellent from start to finish . We had the meatballs and asparagus fritters for appetizers, the risotto and chicken thighs for entrees . Every single morsel of food was delicious. Our server was magnificent. The wine manager helped me with my selection and my wine was fabulous . We had an overall great experience .
