You don’t hear “great Italian restaurants” and “Nashville” in the same sentence a whole lot. And we get it. This city might never be on New York or Chicago’s level, but it’s really stepped up its game in the last few years. Maybe that’s because we’ve gotten some heavy-hitter transplants from New York, but most of the credit goes to local spots that get better and better with each new seasonal menu. It’s a good time to be a pasta fan in Nashville, and this list is proof.
