    I tried out Culaccino for some delicious Italian food and it was a hit! We started out with their Brussel sprouts which were easily my favorite & will go back just for these! For my entree I went with the gnocchi, I don't think it was cooked all the way, it was slightly hard in the middle for some of the pieces while others were cooked perfectly. We got some of the seafood pasta as well which had a really nice flavor & spice with a really unique noodle. We did sit in the covered patio which was a bit hot out but had some fans outside so that was appreciated. The staff is super nice and attentive & really great when it comes to recommendations, I'll definitely be back to try some more dishes!

    Tiramisu

    Such a cute spot right off Broadway, perfect for a fun, casual night downtown. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because it gets busy fast. The service was so friendly and attentive, which always makes a difference. The stars of the meal were easily the pizzas and pastas. We absolutely loved the truffle prosciutto pasta: it was rich, flavorful, and one of those dishes you keep going back for. The pizza was just as good, with really great dough and a delicious, well-balanced sauce. Overall, it's a great, easy spot for a laid-back dinner with really solid Italian food. The only letdown for us was the tiramisu, it just didn't have much flavor and was a bit dry, which was surprising compared to how much we enjoyed everything else.

    Empty drinks and no food.

    We were seated with a group of 9. The service was slow, soooo slow. Drinks were ordered that never came. Finally a reorder was placed. We were there 90 minutes before we got any food. And a then second drink at the same time. The meatball app was on a slice of soggy bread, and another slice in top. The mozzarella pizza was soggy in the middle and hardly any toppings. I would not return.

    Pappardelle

    Great service and nice ambiance, but the air conditioning in the room we were in wasn't working so it was pretty hot. But other than that, it was a delicious meal!

    Lamb sausage pizza

    We were very excited to try this new Italian restaurant and we were not disappointed. We came in for lunch and the place was pretty empty (it was early on January 1st so I was not surprised). We got seated in a booth by the kitchen where you could see the chefs working and our server was very helpful and sweet. We got some complimentary fresh bread and I ordered an orange juice that was delicious. We started with the calamari, I was not a big fan of the sauce it came with, but the calamari itself was fresh and great. We then tried the lamb bolognese, wow! So flavorful and the pasta was al dente and perfect. Also tried the pizza with lamb sausage (yes I do love lamb), they have a real pizza oven and this is the closest I have had to the pizzas I eaten in Tuscany, I can definitely recommend it. Their pizza dough is fermented 72 hours, just as it's supposed to be! I can't wait to come back!

    Basil and Pesto Pasta
    Allison F.

    This place is new and still learning but has work to do. Our server couldn't really give recommendations outside of the pizza and didn't know some menu items. I got a dirty martini and it wasnt good. The starter bread and ricotta was a nice touch. My pasta was very bland for how flavorful it should have been. Lacked basil and flavor and the potatoes inside it didn't make sense. I would try again but overall not impressed with menu and service.

    My husband and I went to Culaccino on a whim at 9:30 PM on a Friday night, 3 days after opening. We were seated right away, and service was pleasant. We received complementary bread and ricotta, and ordered Pappardelle and Il Re di Bologna to share. The bad: still and sparkling water will run you $9 each. We were asked if we wanted still, sparkling, or flat water. I answered still, assuming it was tap water and would be free. Nothing about the water price was mentioned. Surprisingly, 20% of our final bill ended up being water, which knocked a whole star off of this review. The good: parking was validated in the Nashville Yards East garage for 2 hours. Plus, the Pappardelle with lamb bolognese was delicious. I would come back just for that dish, but it was pricey at $26. The pizza was earthy and tasted good, but it was a bit dry without red sauce and the dough was a little underbaked on the sides. My husband enjoyed it though, and it was only $15 compared to the $26 pasta. The ambiance was pleasant. This would make a nice date night. We will be back! However, I will definitely be asking for the FREE water next time and not the $9 water.

    We had a great dinner here! Parking is validated for two hours in the restaurant if you park in the Nashville yards east garage. The burrata salad and the ravioli with butternut squash was soooo good. Dessert was delicious including tiramisu. Very family friendly.

    Initially we made a reservation for 7 at 8:30, but somehow the host wrote 6 for 8p. So we were squeezing into the table they provided until the party next to us was completed and we were able to add another table to give us space. I had all appetizers- the mussels, the meatballs, the caesar salad and a mocktail. The mocktail was extremely tart, needed some more simple syrup, but the rest of the meal was delicious. And the bread was fantastic and fresh. Good spot for a nice intimate dinner and they validate parking.

    Ravioli

    I was excited to try this spot but left disappointed. The restaurant is very crowded there is not enough room for the tables. My husband was bumped every time the waiter tried to pass to table or guests tried to navigate through the space. The service was very slow, my drink came after our entrees arrived. The food was mediocre, pictured is the ravioli - a single large ravioli in a bowl of oil.

    That is NOT balsamic.   It is the soot from the crust mixed with-oil? Tomato?

    Was excited to try this place because it was on a list of great Italian places in Nashville. 30 years in NJ- I've had plenty of great Italian and this was not it. The ambiance was nice - its a lovely building. The staff was courteous & pleasant. Started with the calimari. It was tender inside, crunchy out. Requested some marinara instead of the chili aioli it come with and it was pretty good. Then our meal came. 72 hour pizza appealed because I like a yeasty dough. But I picked up a slice and it flopped right over and everything slid off. Soggy mess. The middle of the pizza was as wet and mushy. I put it down and my fingers had black spots all over them. Not a little residual burnt flour- my fingers got blacker as I handled the pizza and the pizza tasted like soot. I tried a second slice after just one bite of the first , and it was the same thing. The bottom of the pizza was all burned and sooty, the top soupy and mushy in the middle. Terrible. We also ordered the chicken parm sandwich. The bread looked nice and crusty on the top. But it was impossible to pick up the sandwich because the inside was so wet and mushy that it fell apart. The top of the bread was hard like a sourdough and the inside of the sandwich, was wet and mushy. The fried chicken cutlet was nicely thin but the breading was mushy wet. Very unappealing. One bite (with a fork) and hub was done. We made the waitress aware that we were not going to eat our meal and I showed her my fingers were all smeared black after trying to remove the soot. The manager who had taken our order came over and we repeated our complaints and I showed him my black fingers. He returned with a bill and said he hoped we'd come back and they would comp. us some items. He had removed the pizza and sandwich but billed us for the calimari and the sparkling water. (They asked upfront if we preferred sparkling still or tap) Be forewarned-they do not clean their pizza oven often enough or at all. If squishy food is your thing and you like eating pizza and sandwiches with a fork- you'll enjoy it. I hope I ruined their cloth napkin wiping all the soot on it. Grateful I didn't get it on my white shirt.

    Live on Church St and finally ventured over to Nashville Yards. I rate Culaccino 7/10. Super friendly staff and delicious, quick food and service. I didn't try a pizza but definitely will come back for one! Ambiance is great - dark & cozy but tables for 2 are a bit too close together for my liking. Surprisingly crowded for just opening! I want to come back again with more people to try more menu items! Glad this TN local spot is here!

    Mussels- super rustic
    Sammie H.

    The vibes were immaculate. Our server was so sweet and service was excellent. Food was awesome too! My husband and I went we shared the mussels and the gnocchi and both were phenomenal. We also had a bottle of Vermentino. I appreciated how the bottle was served in a stand up wine bottle holder just like in Italy.

I'm 30 years old and have used this license without issue for years. When I asked what specifically was wrong with the ID, nobody could provide an explanation. Instead, staff consulted a manager and simply told me they would not be serving me. Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

This historic building itself feels like a shotgun (long and narrow) and apparently once served as a Civil War warehouse and later the Sho-Bud Steel Guitar Company.

There was no live music available at the time, but they did have a DJ which I thought was spinning the turntable rather well. It's my bad that I didn't also catch on that his is basically a Tequila Bar, rather than a more general craft cocktail establishment. Judging by the well stocked bar and the word of our waitress, other alcohol and their associated craft creations are available, but it's pretty much off menu and not well into our waitress' repertoire. And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's? Anyway, we're not Tequila Drinkers, and since other drink options appeared to be guesswork, we left towards more traditional mixed drinks (and live music) at a nearby Printers Alley bar. This was a rare night that I really wanted a craft cocktail in a smooth environment, and in the end it just wasn't the same.
