You know it's a good meal when I took photos at the beginning and end only. Best Hugo in Nashville currently for me. Pastas were superb. I think we ordered the entire menu, but I never felt too full afterwards. I could tell I was eating amazing quality. The dessert is something I still dream of. No words! read more

Overall, solid date night spot! My favorite dish was the garlic bread. The brioche was so fluffy, and it had a unique balance of sweet and garlicky flavor. We asked for it right away since I read other reviews that it sells out daily, and our waitress informed us that we acrually got one of the few remaining ones. My mushroom pasta dish was good, I liked the texture the mushrooms, but nothing was uber unique in the dish. The portion size was also a little small compared to other Italian places I've been to, but it is understandable since it is high quality and upscale. The ambiance inside is nice, but I was expecting more of a wow factor (like Aba's chandeliers or Alla Vitas ceiling installation) We were seated close to the entrance so I wasn't sure if there was more impressive decor inside. We found free street parking outside. read more

Really fun new ish italian spot located in the Wedgewood-houston area. Very small menu and some portions are smaller than others. Designed to be share plates but with entree prices. Our server recommended two appetizers and five pastas for our table of four. Service was kind and the food was delicious but again portions were small & prices a lil high. Cocktails were amazing and the wine list was very extensive. read more

Anytime I'm craving pasta, this is where my heart wants to go. Every dish is full of flavor and just makes you happy. We recently tried the tuna tartare and it was the perfect appetizer. My boyfriend and I usually share a few pasta dishes, and this time we had the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio and the Orecchiette alla Vodka Sauce, with chili flakes on the side for an extra kick. The servers are always knowledgeable and friendly, and I trust their recommendations. Such a good date spot! However, I definitely suggest making a reservation because the wait can get long. read more

Iggys had me at house-made pasta. I'm a sucker for all noodles and this place is no exception. This eatery does traditional Italian style pasta with flavorful twists and surprise ingredients. I came here on a quiet weeknight without reservations and was seated right away at a cozy corner table. I wouldn't plan to do that again though, as it was decently busy. Our waiter was patient with us and explained the menu for me as it was my first time dining here. The standout of the night was the "little shells" pasta bursting with creamy, sweet, umami flavor with subtle nods toward its oceanic origin. I also enjoyed the aglio e olio. The pasta has nowhere to hide with this dish, but the restaurant earns its reputation in Italian cuisine with its crafted-to-perfection spaghetti. Other dishes I enjoyed and would reorder include the whipped ricotta and arancini. I skipped the savory garlic bread for the crudo this time, but next time ordering it is a must. With all that said, I recommend you come here for the noodles themselves - everything else is a bonus. If you're craving quality pasta, look no further than Iggys! read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. The Michelin guide (& several other "Best of Nashville" lists) led me to Iggy's. The last time I trusted the Michelin Guide for Italian, we hit Bancone in London. This was even better. Chef Ryan Poli was in command of the kitchen, and I had a front row seat at the Chef's Counter. Matthew Poli, his brother and the GM/master sommelier stopped by several times as I enjoyed a couple cocktails and (a few) glasses of wine. I even got a free glass of wine! The garlic bread is so unique! Sweet and savory and a perfect complement to the meal. The gem salad was the most perfect combination of flavors and textures- the best salad I've had since The French Room at the Adolphus in Dallas. Rigatoni Bolognese is the pasta you dream about. So rich and delicious. And that lemon huckleberry soft serve! Absolutely exquisite!!!! read more

Tried the ripped ricotta, the agnolotti, gnocchi with goat cheese, the shells and the coffee brownie soft serve. The ripped ricotta was really good. It had jam and onions on it. The gnocchi was my favorite. I loved the crunchiness of the bread crumbs but the lightness of the goat cheese. The agnolotti was also a . It was sweet and buttery but had a nice lemon finish. The shells were good but slightly salty. The soft serve was good. It is homemade. Lastly, I would come again the food was excellent. Although I did feel like the wine list was lacking options per glass. read more

Ive been listening to Chef Poli's podcast " How Did I Get Here" since 2023 before he opened Iggys & became a fan of his by listening. His passion for the art of making food & the community of local restaurateurs he brought on to his show makes it a high recommend if youre into pods. Nashville is a city of many transplants & its fascinating to hear how some of the talented individuals got here & what motivates them to feed us so well. Chef Ryan's own history in the industry lends credibility to the level of quality & the experience of dining at Iggy's. Wedgewood used to have very little to offer in terms of dining but now there is an ever expanding list of bangers calling the area home & Iggys stands among the very best. The Michelin Guide just shouted to the world how legit the area is after their recent publication. Several of my favorite Yelp El-eat-ers had raved about going to Iggys over the last year so I decided to finally get down there for my birthday dinner. The restaurant itself was warm & inviting with an open kitchen facing the dining room. I highly recommend the chef's counter seating if you are a dining alone or with another. Being at the counter allowed us to see everything on the menu before ordering & the opportunity to chat with our server who was a delight & reminisced with us about some of the parts of Nashville's food scene that are now long gone. We started off with the whipped ricotta & the soon to be world famous Iggys garlic bread. Both were mouth wateringly good & so different from one another. While it would be a sin to dine here without having the garlic bread I think both are worth getting no doubt. For our pasta mains we went with the seasonal butternut squash tortellini & the goat cheese gnocchi. The pasta here is perfection I loved both of them but not equally as the butternut squash tortellini stole the spotlight with its caramelized bacon richness. Even though we were stuffed, we had to try a dessert & went with the signature Lemon Huckleberry which is topped with their in house soft serve. It was everything you want in a dessert, sweet, tart, delicate, just perfect. I also had the barrel & peel cocktail which was very good. Pretty much an old fashioned with cacao bitters and garnished with a lemon peel so you get a wonderful mellow chocolate finish with each sip. This is one of the best spots in town no doubt & deserves your business. read more

SHADY. Do *NOT* leave before double-checking your receipt. I brought a 3-person party, and we each had 1 drink and got a handful of plates to share, which was the server's recommendation. Iggy's ~automatically~ included a 20% gratuity for our table of 3 *without informing us* it was applied, and I nearly tipped an additional 20% on top of that -- an extra $37 -- before catching their scheme at the last second before paying. Infuriating. Even for large tables of 5-6+ people where one might expect tip to be applied, the staff *should inform* the patrons of the gratuity policy before issuing the bill. I don't want to be scammed going out for dinner. Buyer beware. read more

Super super good restaurant! It's a unique layout once you're inside. I've sat at the bar and sat at a table and both have been fun. The garlic bread is stellar and any pasta dish you can't go wrong with. It doesn't feel like they are rushing you out & truly want you to enjoy the experience. You will have to book a reservation in advance because it is so popular. read more

I was so excited to try Iggys and we made a reservation well in advance. The service was super attentive and helpful when ordering. The interior was very nice and low lighting made it perfect for a date night. But I was just not impressed at all with the food. The prices were outrageous and the food was subpar. The garlic bread had barely any flavor and it was like a sponge. The spaghetti was way too lemony. The carbonara was like eating a spoonful of salt. It was so hard to eat more than a bite it was as if someone spilled the entire thing of salt in it. And lastly the gnocchi sauce was not very good to supplement the gnocchi. It was like a flavorless pasta cube. I personally wouldn't recommend but some people clearly love Iggys. read more

Cute little Italian spot everything made to order. You can definitely tell this place is authentic. Tried the garlic bread and it was delicious!! I didn't know what to expect with the cream cheese but it worked. The little shells pasta was my fav. The vodka sauce was so light and creamy. I really enjoyed this dish. We also tried the rigatoni bolognese which was good as well. The service was also great. I didn't get to try any of their cocktails so I will definitely go back and try more on their menu. read more

I had been wanting to go here forever but it just never worked out every time I had a reservation. Finally got the chance to go the other weekend. We absolutely loved it. We had 5 dishes but I only took photos of two as I forgot as the food was so good and I was just enjoying the experience. We had a truffle pasta, a butternut squash agnolotti, a gnocchi, the salad and the arancini. It was all fabulous. The service was also top notch. The atmosphere was nice. The restaurant felt like they knew their food was good and didn't need to hide behind overdone decor. This is the best pasta I have had in Nashville. It was worth the wait and loved up to the hype. I will definitely be back. Such a great experience! read more

I decided to try Iggys on a Wednesday prior to an event in WeHo . My friend loves this spot and I can totally see why. I dined solo on a Wednesday with a reservation which I strongly recommend. Iggys is a modern Italian restaurant known for its amazing pasta and garlic bread. I didn't try the bread but I did have a delicious seasonal heirloom tomato ricotta toast, Rigatoni Bolognese and a Singapore sling cocktail., All were great and I can honestly say the hype is real.,I can't wait to go back and try the garlic bread. Paid and street parking are available. Enjoy! read more

spectacular experience here! came here with a few friends to celebrate a friend's birthday. we were seated in a semi-private area of the restaurant which was a perfect place for our group, and we had a custom menu which allowed us to taste many of the dishes: - First Course -- Garlic Bread - probably one of my favorite dishes of the night. such a unique way to serve garlic bread and just so delicious. would come back to Iggy's just to have more of this -- Greener Roots Gem Lettuce - super fresh, not overly dressed and well balanced with almonds, cheese, and apples -- Arancini - tasty, but nothing special, would probably skip next time - Second Course -- Butternut Squash Tortellini - my favorite of the 4 pastas, just perfect for the fall season -- Germelli Carbonara - probably my least favorite of the pastas as it seemed to be missing a bit of kick, though the bacon almost made up for it -- Radiatore alla Vodka Sauce - another great dish, well loved by many of my dinner mates -- Rigatoni Bolognese - my second favorite pasta. had lots of meat that seemed to coat every aspect of the rigatoni. so good - Dessert -- Vanilla and Coffee Twist - after eating all the apps and pasta, I barely had room for this, but omg was this so good. the coffee ice cream was so smooth and delicious and perfect with the soft brownie on the bottom. if I hadn't been so full, I would have eaten 3 more of these The staff was super attentive and nice which definitely added to the experience! Loved my dinner here and I will be back very soon! read more

In my many visits to Nashville over the years, I never was able to dine at The Catbird Seat. So when I heard the Poli brothers, who were the beverage director and executive chef at Catbird, had opened Iggy's in 2023, it became a must-do on my recent Nashville visit. This 65-seat dining space is electric in the evening. The noise level on Friday demonstrated the diners were loving every minute experiencing the incredible house-made pastas and extensive European wine selection. Although I love pasta, I'm still not sure why the menu isn't more diverse. Maybe that will come in time. Let's just say, they prepare incredibly rich and authentic pastas. With four of us, we had enough diners for almost the entire pasta menu. The portions are not family style, but certainly are shareable. We started with the amazing Garlic Bread, which lived up to its advanced billing on Yelp. The whipped cream cheese baked into slices of the bread, was incredible. Next up was the Lemon Herb Arancini, which is a goat cheese fondue in a risotto ball. For the pasta, we ordered the Tonnarelli (with Massachusetts razor clams), Agnolotti (with shaved Summer truffles), the Radiatore alla Vodka Sauce (with Liuzzi burrata) and the classic Rigatoni Bolognese (with Bear Creek Farm beef and pork). I'm not a cook, but I love to eat all kinds of pasta and understand its history and how it's made. Iggy's provided a fun way to experience many unique textures and flavors. We had a 6:30pm reservation and was told we'd have our table for two hours. We had finished our meal by 8pm and it was time for dessert. I can't think of the last time I dined at an upscale restaurant that used soft serve ice cream in two of their dessert offerings, but it worked well at Iggy's. The Strawberry Shortcake was the table favorite and the Vanilla & Coffee Twist was tasty, but just didn't bring the wow of the shortcake. I wasn't aware of the chef's table when I made my reservation, but it would be a cool vantage point if you want to feel like you're part of the crew making your dinner. The craft cocktail line-up is super delicious. Our table loved the Rosas are Red Spritz and the Mexican Firing Squad. Do check them out! It's important to note that Iggy's clearly states on its menu and it's reinforced by the server, that checks include an automatic 20% gratuity that is shared by all staff. Abby, our server, knew the menu cold and was friendly to work with. read more

Iggy's is great! We celebrated a friend's birthday here earlier this year, and had a truly memorable meal. I would absolutely recommend this little eatery for your next celebration ... or for a random weeknight when you feel like splurging. We had reservations for a group of four, and we were seated right away! I do think it's worth planning ahead and reserving a table, since the restaurant isn't that big. It is lovely inside - they've created a very intimate setting that matches the vibes of their menu perfectly. Their menu rotates often, and I think we may have caught the end of their spring features before they switched some things up for the summer. Everything we tried was delicious - especially the freshly made pastas. My favorite bite was the Rigatoni Bolognese, which I believe is one of their menu staples regardless of the season. The Ravioli was also incredible ... it's a small portion for the price, but it's so delicate and delicious that it becomes something you really want to savor. Speaking of prices, it is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for! The service was great, and 20% gratuity is included on every bill. This is a great spot for a special meal with loved ones, and I'd love to return again soon! read more

I have never found good Italian in Nashville (and I have tried a ton)--until now. Raised by Italians in the kitchen, I have high standards and Iggy's has met them. The head bartender creates incredible drinks and is passionate about what he does. Bars are often overlooked at restaurants, and I am glad that is not the case here. Each drink is well made and balances to perfection! The service is top-notch and the atmosphere is lively. I appreciate that the music is not overly loud and the lighting inside the restaurant was cozy. Now, the food....absolutely incredible. The salad (app) was simple yet incredibly tasty and I immediately wanted another. We had three different pasta dishes, all the pasta was cooked perfectly and each sauce was unique. The menu is seasonal, but chef also changes the menu slightly on a weekly basis if he cannot source an ingredient. The vanilla soft serve (dessert) was made in house, and the lemon curd was one of the best I have had and i love that the flavor of the huckleberry was not drowned in sugar and was allowed to shine through. The only downside is that given the weho location parking is not the easiest to come across but it is well worth the short walk from whatever street you manage to snag a spot. read more

Drinks were great. Staff were so kind. But the pasta was undercooked and its sauces too salty. Garlic bread was too salty as well.

Iggy's makes me almost wish I lived in Nashville. The staff was wonderful. I ordered the Risotto with Gulf Shrimp and the Dubai Chocolate Fudge Sundae. I am often leery of ordering risotto as many places either undercook the rice or overcook it and turn it mushy and ruin whatever they are cooking in it as well. This risotto was amazing. The rice was perfect and the shrimp was cooked perfectly as well The sundae was also great. They make the softserve on site so it was fresh. I liked that the chef checked personally that the risotto and sundae were done to my satisfaction and the front of the house made sure I enjoyed the meal before I left. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. read more

Been meaning to check this place out as it was recommended to us & I've heard great things. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner but I wasn't as blown away as I expected to be. We were seated promptly upon arriving for our reservation. I requested the chefs bar seating & they honored that. They even gave me a cute purse holder for the bar top (so appreciated!). The menu is condensed but I usually like that. A few appetizers and then all pasta options. We had the signature garlic bread & arancini for apps. The garlic bread was good, but very rich, also has a sweeter note that comes through. For pastas we had the truffle radiatore (my fav of them), the little shells vodka sauce & the short rib gnocchi. It seems all their pastas here are nearly past the al dente point where they are uncooked slightly. Someone next to us was mentioning the same thing. Esp the little shells we had, pasta was certainly undercooked. I despise overcooked pasta but there's a fine line there & undercooked can be just as off putting. I do think this spot would benefit from adding one or two protein options to the menu also. We had the brownie option soft serve for dessert (lovely to share and not too heavy). I do see other reviewers points about it seeming to be a lazy out for not having a pastry chef. I've heard people compare this restaurant to RAD and it's not quite there for me personally. But we did enjoy the experience and recommend checking it out if their menu interests you. read more

In a word: YUM! Iggy's has become my new favorite restaurant in Nashville - I talk about it to the extent that a friend requested it for her birthday dinner to see what I was raving about. The menu is seasonal but a constant is the amazing garlic bread! A must order. I'm not sure how they do it - the cheese is on the inside?? You just have to try it to understand! On my most recent visit, we enjoyed the garlic bread, the butternut squash tortellini, the rigatoni bolognese, a lobster pasta, and the ice cream brownie dessert. As you may guess from that many pastas, they are small shareable size portions and the servers do a great job of recommending how many to order. I've already been several times and will be back many more! read more

Iggy's was top of my list for so long. We finally went for my birthday this year! Everything was sooo amazing. Each dish was curated specifically for what it is- each dish is unique. I started by ordering a whiskey sour- I was hoping this would come in a coupe, but it came in a regular cocktail glass. We started with the scallop crudo- just wow. The scallops were so tender and not overly fishy. They were laid on top of a beautiful coconutty sauce. For the pastas we got a truffle and cheese stuffed pasta, the garlic and olive oil pasta, and the crab little shells. The garlic and olive oil pasta was good, however with the other options next time I would opt to get the stronger flavor profile pastas. The truffle pasta was amazing. They did not skimp on the truffle- it was in the sauce, in the pasta, and freshly shaved on top. Crab is my top favorite food. The little shells pasta was unbelievable. I mean, if you even slightly like crab you should order this. Unfortunately we were too full to order dessert. I cant wait to come back to Igyys!! read more

I feel really bad writing this review, but I have to be honest. My husband and I went for our anniversary, and they sat us at the chef's counter- which needless to say does not really create an "anniversary date" vibe, but rather just a quick dinner- I don't think I ever indicated on my reservation to be sat there. As someone who is an adventurous/cultured eater and saw all the rave reviews about this restaurant, I was happy to indulge in something new- but the garlic bread was fine, the salad needed more flavor in the vinaigrette and had almost too much manchego (never thought I would ever say that), the seaweed/crab pasta tasted like a fish market in the worst way possible (the mercury-like smell somehow coming through in the flavor), and the truffle pasta which I thought HAD to be good was probably the most bland truffle pasta I have ever had. Specifically, the truffles didn't even smell like truffle- every time you go to a restaurant serving fresh truffle, you smell truffle from a mile away, but these smelled and tasted like nothing- honestly, I was shocked. The lemon huckleberry soft serve dessert was a good concept and interesting, but I think I could have stomached it better if I had loved the rest of the food. By the time I got to the end, one disappointment after another made the dessert options feel desperately in need of something spectacular. Service was absolutely wonderful. I'm so sorry to write this review, but when there are spectacular fresh made pasta places here in Nashville, it is hard to pay such a price and to have such an unsatisfying dinner. read more

I went to Iggy's for a birthday party, The food was decent but the family style Party menu isn't worth the money in my opinion. I understand it's a course menu but I believe that making smaller personal servings of the menu would be received better for large parties. I did not eat $97 worth of food and yet that's what I paid. $75 per person for the amount of food you actually get to eat isn't worth it. And a 20% gratuity on top in total $97 when the amount of food actually eaten for each person is equal to an appetizer. The food wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing either, a course of mostly pasta dishes a small pull apart garlic bread and no drink of any kind or pallet cleanser come along with the course. I did not order drinks so the base price alone is $97 with no drink. Dishes were supposed to be made to order however the amount made for 9+ people was just disappointing. The cocktails are a decent price but that's all. Also I don't believe it's fair to make customers pay for the party price of being there for the party if they aren't eating but I understand that happens often however it forces patrons to then eat because they have to pay anyway. All in all Iggy's isn't worth the money for the kind of food they put out. And that's simply for the portions and taste alone. read more

While on vacation in Nashville, my daughter and I made reservations for Iggy's. I wasn't sure I'd need reservations on a Thursday night, but I'm glad I made one because they were quite busy. We sat at the counter facing the chefs kitchen. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them plate the various menu items. Our server recommended sharing several small items. We started with the garlic bread, it was delicious and uniquely prepared. We followed that with the Greener roots salad, it was beautifully prepared very mild tasting ingredients. For our entrees, we shared the butternut tortellini, the Little Shells, and the Rigatoni Bolognese. I was most excited to try the Butternut tortellini, but the Rigatoni Bolognese stole the show. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert. I really enjoyed everything about this restaurant except the noise level. I had a really hard time hearing our waitress and my daughter who was seated right beside me. read more

Dinner at Iggy's Nashville did not miss. * The whipped ricotta toast surprised me--the onion jam (the one thing I was hesitant about!) turned out to be the best part. * Tried the corn casoncelli on our server's suggestion and wow... buttery, truffle-y perfection. * The duck confit ravioli? Rich and layered. * But the star of the night: the little shells with crab + sea urchin butter. Juicy, spicy, briny heaven--we nearly fought over the last bite. * Finished with lemon-huckleberry soft serve layered with lemon curd, pound cake, and cookie crumbs... light, tangy, and the sweetest ending. 10/10, already plotting my next visit. read more

This place was incredibly delicious! From the ambiance to the delicious appetizers, I'd recommend this place to anyone. We didn't have a reservations, but we were seated at the bar immediately which was very comfortable! The bartender was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us navigate how much food to get. We split two appetizers and one entree. The garlic bread was fantastic and unlike anything I've ever had before! Definitely a must. The little gem lettuce was refreshing and paired well with the meal. You can tell how fresh this restaurant is from the quality of the food and the cleanliness of the restaurant. There is plenty of parking around the restaurant and open lot beside it that is free! If you find yourself on this part of town definitely make a reservation to come try one of the best spots! read more

All around wonderful dinner experience at iggy's! Our server was Kayla - friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. It was our first time so she explained the menu, described the flavors of each dish and offered recommendations. We started with iggy's Garlic Bread, Tortellini and Potato Gnocchi. The garlic bread was so good that my daughter ordered one more. The potato gnocchi with the braised shortrib just melted with every bite. It's the best gnocchi I've had to date. We still had some room so we decided to try the Truffle Radiatore. In hindsight we probably should have skipped the last pasta and saved the room for dessert. Next time. :) Parking is easy to find in the plaza. We scanned to pay, although I overheard that this was free just a week ago. read more

Slowly but surely, Iggy's has become my favorite restaurant in Nashville for good pasta and it's worth a revisit of my previous review. Incredible flavors, delightful homemade pasta, excellent wine at a good price, truly outstanding service - Iggy's continues to become a better version of itself with each new seasonal menu. My favorites off the current menu: shrimp risotto (I've previously had the lobster iteration of this dish, which was equally ungodly: rich, umami brothiness), butternut squash tortellini (you've never had flavors like this), and the saffron arancini (have had other flavors of arancini here and this is by far my favorite.) The current vanilla / salted caramel soft serve is a perfect, light end when I'm feeling overstuffed on pasta. Shout out to whoever curates the wine menu here, because there are options for $10 or $14 per glass here that, as a snobby wine person, are just incredible. It feels almost unheard of to find those kinds of prices for good wine at a nice restaurant in Nashville these days. Dining at the chef's counter here is one of my favorite dining experiences in Nashville right now. Everything coming out of the kitchen is truly a hit, and I'm always happy to change my mind about a restaurant. read more

While Iggy's is high in price for the portion of its plates, I can't argue with how delicious it was. The service was lovely and the ambience is nice but not pretentious. Here's what we tried: -Greener Roots Gem Lettuce Salad: 9/10 - You would NEVER think this salad is this good based on looking at it because it looks so simple, but the light lettuce paired with the zingy blue cheese dressing and crunch from the nuts is so perfect. An unmissable salad. -Iggy's Garlic Bread: 10/10 - I had heard many things about this garlic bread and it lived up to the hype. It is SO rich. The bread almost melts in your mouth instead of being chewy. The creamy garlic cheesy spread between each slice is absolutely divine, it's almost TOO good. -Ceviche: 6/10 - It was fine, just not my favorite. The plate was beautifully presented with lots of gorgeous colors, but the flavors weren't mind-blowing. -Truffle Agnolotti: 8/10 - I mean, come on. A cheesy, creamy, salty stuffed pasta with shaved truffle on top? Wonderful. The portion is very small, and the plate could benefit from something a bit fresh as well. -Ravioli: 4/10 - I wanted to like this because the idea is great, and I like the "open ravioli" concept. The chicken confit at the bottom of the ravioli was one thing I really enjoyed, but all the toppings on each ravioli didn't really meld well with the rest of the bite. I also didn't think the sauces around the pasta added much. -Radiatore Vodka: 4/10 - Radiatore is my favorite pasta shape and vodka sauce is always a no-brainer for me, but this was a miss. It honestly tasting like marinara pasta, and the burrata on top didn't even melt into the dish as I would have hoped. -Little Shells Clam Pasta: 9/10 - This is like golden, gourmet mac and cheese. It has saffron on top and the flavor is a subtle fishiness from the clams. -Coffee Soft Serve with Brownie and Caramel: 9/10 - This was SO good. I wish there was more brownie involved, but the salted brown butter caramel had so much depth to it. Additionally, the swirl of vanilla and coffee soft serve was a perfect balance. read more

In my opinion, Iggy's is in the Top 5 best restaurants in Nashville. Perfect for a date night or girl's night with friends. The menu changes up regularly so it's worth going back to try new items. All items are shareable and they recommend ordering 3-4 entrees to start. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We got seated at the kitchen bar and I loved getting to watch the chefs make magic. You cannot go wrong with anything you order, everything is a smash hit. But, you gotta get the garlic bread! read more

Wow first night in Nashville and we started with the best! The food here is so incredible. We had the blue fin tartare, the mushroom pasta dish, some incredible toast with whipped ricotta and onion jam and the gnocchi. I've eaten all over the country and I've never had food like this. It was so unique and so good. It's also a super fun vibe in an area they have really redeveloped. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I'd say the crowd overall is mostly 20s and 30 something but they let us come in even though we aren't quite in that age group anymore lol. We loved every minute here. I highly recommend this place if you are in town. read more

So happy to find Iggys, my new favorite Italian spot in Nashville. I've been a couple times now and each time it's consistent - pasta is perfectly cooked, flavors are always at the forefront, and their tuna tartare is to die for. They change their Pastas fairly frequently as well so that makes it exciting for my husband and i to come here multiple times a year. Service is always friendly and attentive. Ambiance is lively and vibe is cool. read more

Finally made it here! The restaurant is lovely with an intimate, casual atmosphere--perfect for a relaxed dinner with colleagues. We started with the whipped ricotta, which was fine, though I'm not sure I'd order it again. The Roots Gem lettuce, however, was fantastic--definitely one of our favorites of the evening. The pastas were all excellent--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I would highly recommend both the pastas and the salad. Service was great as well, attentive and friendly throughout. read more
