Every Friday and Saturday for 15 years they have been putting on a reservation only Italian feast and we have been meaning to go for a long time. Well we finally went and absolutely totally worth it. The energy and love you feel dining and enjoying the atmosphere they create is unique here in Nashville. The food itself is great. Our menu for winter started with the perfect bite of polenta and shrimp, crisp fried risotto, and a crisp ceaser. Then a break for some song and dance. After that an umami packed mushroom pasta and a rich savory tomato and braised short rib with shells. Then more dancing! The whole restaurant patrons servers all up and moving! Your heart rate gets up but what a blast. We finished with some of the best chicken I’ve had a very long time and a nice pork loin. Dessert was espresso and a perfect chocolate pannacotta. Add in a really good wine list and solid cocktail program and this was a perfect night. Absolutely book your night. We will be back!

Amazing experience all around. Chef Nick takes care of his guests, the servers are great, and by the end of the evening, after the dance interlude, everyone feels like family. We had the Winter menu, and my favorite dishes were the black carbon focaccia, the pasta with porcini cognac cream, and the rosemary lemon chicken…. but everything was good! They also had gluten-free versions of everything. It was nice to have a prix fixe menu to take away decision making and just enjoy dishes as they arrived.

From the moment we walked in to the restaurant we were welcomed warmly, just as walking into a family members home for dinner. The dinner is a 3-hour prix fixe feast w/ 10 total appropriately spaced courses delivered to your table. At two points in the evening, Chef Nick and staff get everyone up and do a couple fun, interactive dances – a perfectly timed pause before additional courses! The food was outstanding, the vibes were immaculate, and the staff was amazing! Do yourself a favor and go check this one out!

Wowwwww absolutely outstanding Italian feast they put on for Friday and Saturday nights is amazing. I’m definitely putting this on my rotation for my Nashville trips. I can’t say enough great things about the food and the atmosphere/environment. If you know anything about an Italian feast you know it’s filled with good vibes, music and a full belly. Trust me when I say you will leave here stuffed and with great memories. The owner is part of the experience and I love that so much. Don’t miss this, worth it

What an AMAZING dinner experience! 10 course meal over three hours. Every course was delicious and excited my taste buds. I was able to get my courses gluten-free, and my husband got to enjoy his gluten. Dance break to make room for more food was so much fun. Definitely would recommend it if you have never been. Can’t wait for the seasonal menu change so I can go back.

I’ve had a lot of dining experiences in my life, but this one blew me away. I found this place because my wife loves Italian food—and wow, am I glad I did. From the second we walked through the door, it was pure magic: incredible food, nonstop entertainment, and an atmosphere that turned dinner into an unforgettable experience. This wasn’t just a meal, it was a night to remember. We’ll be back soon… and very hungry for more!

Went with a party of 8 to celebrate a couple of birthdays. It was incredible! Victoria was an attentive server, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was tons of fun. Highly recommend!
Also – it is a set 10-course menu and served family style. However, one of the ppl in our party is vegetarian and they didnt miss a beat making sure she was served her plate any time they brought food to the table.

This pains me to write this review because, I was so excited to go when I read the reviews that raved about the food and atmosphere. I should have been more diligent and read the one stars more closely. I grew up on Long Island and have fond memories of going to Little Italy as a child and adult to eat. I booked this place for a table of 6 and surprised my family. The surprise was on us. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive even though she had a lot of people to serve. Yes, it takes a while to get your drinks but it was crowded and probably short staffed at the bar. The singing and dancing is not for everyone but that is part of their ambience. The more disturbing part of this whole experience is the food that we were served as the “Italian Feast”. The Bread was good and it stopped right there. The pasta is not fresh it came out of a big bag not delicate to the taste in fact it felt it was under cooked. I know what “al dente” means in the cooking of pasta this was not it. It was under cooked and smothered in a butter sauce of some kind with pieces of squash. The next pasta dish was shells with sauce and beef short rib, I couldn’t eat it. The sauce reminded me of can tomatoe sauce right out of a can and strands of short rib, I think!! I probably had better desserts that I bought at Costco. I am not going to go on about the rest of the meal but this is like no other Italian food that I have ever eaten. The waitress kept asking us if we wanted a box for all our left overs and that should say it all!
