The Italian Kitchen - Nashville

Hit or miss dishes (my ravioli tasted like Chef Boyardee but my husband’s was first rate). They don’t need reservations because we booked at a busy Saturday night time and they just told us to sit anywhere. Very nice staff and great service just expect more of a “no frills” than the profile would lead you to believe.

Poor quality food in terms of taste and preparation. For instance, I could not taste the eggplant in my eggplant parm, which was smothered in cheese. When I asked for oil and vinegar for my salad, I was informed that they didn’t have vinegar, and the oil did not taste like it was made from olives. My husband said the meatballs he ordered were among the worst he’s eaten. We asked for a glass of wine on the menu and were told that it had not been stocked there for a long time and the server didn’t know why it was still listed. We were visiting only a single night in Nashville and made a big mistake with our dinner choice!

Waitress was very pleasant! Meal was good but over priced.

We arrived early for dinner (5:00pm) on a week night. We enjoyed our food and wine in a booth by the window. The wine mark up is very high, therefore only a fiour star for value. The restaurant was quite so we were able to carry on a nice dinner conversation. The waitress was friendly and service was very good. Overall experience 5.

How can you have reservations for anything after 11am? I made reservations to eat at this place that didn’t even look like reservations were even needed. If you’re not open past 11am then you shouldn’t have times to be reserved
