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

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

all these reviews about portion sizes is hilarious. when you go to a top tier restaurant you should expect smaller portions but also iggys portions are very adequate bc their prices are INCREDIBLE for how tasty the food is and how much you get. if you want okay taste and large portions go to chilis. this place takes care of its employees and customers. 5 star food 5 star drinks 5 star service 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

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

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

Is this place worth the hype? Let's see! We made a reservation for dinner 2 weeks in advance. We got there a bit earlier and got seated within couple minutes. They had our table ready before our reservation time. That's impressive! They were really busy and it was really loud inside. We had to yell at each other or we kept saying "what did you just say?" If you wanted to eat and talk, this place might not be it. Garlic bread is a good portion for 2 people. It is not filling you up before the entree for sure. Wild mushroom tortellini was so amazing. It was so complex in taste, smell, and texture. Umm...so delicious! I highly recommend this dish. It is 100 out of 10. Fusilli alla Vodka Sauce was okay. Fusilli was perfectly al dente but the sauce was way too salty. I drank 3 glasses of water during the meal to wash away the saltiness on my tongue. Overall, it was a great experience. It seemed to be your luck to order the right dish or just an okay dish. Hey! Who does not like Russian roulette game? Order at your own risk! 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

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

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

This place is phenomenal. Excellent food and service. The staff was very friendly. Although I arrived early the sweet blonde hostess was able to get me seated. Would 100% recommend to anyone. If you go, get the garlic bread. read more

We'd wanted to try Iggy's for a while now, and managed to grab a holiday week Sat night res. The room is cool; we sat near the open kitchen (always our preference). It's not as loud as some other places in town and that's nice; we like to be able to hear each other talk during dinner. We started with a bottle of some-recommended the Sicilian white, and the much vaunted garlic bread, and the Burrata app. The garlic bread was everything you've heard about, and more. We seriously contemplated ordering a second loaf. The burrata was good; it was served in a style similar to avocado toast. Neither portion was huge, but the quality and taste were outstanding. They were out of our first choice for entrées. Bummer; we were looking forward to trying the butternut squash ravioli. Undeterred, we feasted on their Bolognese, beef short ribs over gnocchi, a very citrusy lemon ricotta stuffed agnoloti, and duck confit agnolotti. All of the pastas were house made and perfectly cooked; the sauces showed a very deft hand in the kitchen. Total for 4 (including mandatory 20 percent service charge) was $280, including a lovely bottle of white from their list. Well worth the price for food of this quality and taste. Highly recommended for innovative Italian in WeHo. read more

Heaven on earth if you're a pasta lover. Service is consistently unmatched with a great selection of wines by the bottle and glass. Be sure to order the truffle radiatore and the creste di gallo with braised octopus. read more

Wow!! Everything is handmade and it shows. However, I was shocked with how quick our service was considering it was all made it order. It's a very quaint restaurant so reservations fill up fast, but there's plenty of seats at the bar. The food was all AMAZING but the real star of the show was the garlic bread. We'll for sure be back to try their other dishes!! read more

Great service and ambience but otherwise the food was just average - didn't quite live up to expectations Starting with the good: the burrata was a great combination of flavors! Warm bread, topped with just the right amount of slightly sweet jam and a fluffy mountain of savory light cheese. Also some toasted pine nuts scattered on top to add some earthiness and crunch. Yum! The squid ink pasta was the best thing we ordered! The sauce was slightly spicy and mixed with chunks of tasty lobster, so good! The not so good: the aglio e olio was probably the biggest disappointment. Way too much lemon that overpowered the garlic and oil. I've followed a simple recipe for this dish that turned out better than what we got. At least the spaghetti was well cooked. The duck and foie gras ravioli had some great flavors with a really tasty sauce but unfortunately our ravioli was undercooked. The folded up bits of the ravioli were still hard and could've used another minute in the pot. For a place that specializes in pasta, I'd expect them to get this right. Overall, some great flavors and a fun place to try but we ended up leaving a little underwhelmed. read more

Overall, I loved my experience and all the food at iggy's and can't wait to go back in the future. I'd say this place is for a special occasion based on the price. We had quite a large bill and not very full, but still satiated. The garlic bread and burrata toast were our starters. The garlic bread was fantastic - warm and fluffy inside, crisp on the outside. The burrata was one slice of toast and I honestly didn't think it was toast (must've read the menu wrong) and expected burrata on greens. The maine crab tortellini had a fantastic sauce but I'm not a seafood person. It wasn't a big serving - I'm sure that's standard serving size and we're used to everything being big, but I felt bad when the other person I was with saw it and I could see the hunger in his eyes. The cacio e pepe, my choice, was delicious. Lots of flavor in this subtle dish, and the pepper in the pasta made all the difference. We ended with a strawberry sorbet style dessert - I was disappointed there wasn't something chocolate on the menu (only two items) but I appreciate seasonal choices. It was a nice palette cleanse and ending. We got two drinks each as well. Service was excellent with the owner/chef stopping by to greet us. The ambiance is great. Parking not so much but they don't have full control over that. 5 stars from me read more

We went to Iggy's in a hard rain. It was an enjoyable environment and the service staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. We started with the highly recommended Iggy's Garlic Bread with Cream Cheese and a White Shrimp Ceviche. The Ceviche was very good. The way the Garlic and Cream Cheese combined in the bread didn't work for our taste. Seemed as if it would be great. We had two pasta dishes--the Trofie Alla Vodka Sauce with Lizzie Burrata and the Tonnarelli Massachusetts Razor Clams and herbs in white wine. They were outstanding--clearly freshly made pasta and everything else. The dish with Razor Clams was simply outstanding. It was a great dining experience. On arrival at the restaurant we were informed of an automatic 20% gratuity on everything we ordered. And that a team tip. So if we wanted our server to have a personal tip it would be additional. It is not uncommon for us to tip 20-30%. What doesn't work for us is that we distinguish between food and beverage services. So a good bottle of wine with a hefty markup costs at least 20% more before it gets to the table. I wish them success. The food deserves it. read more

One of Nashville's must haves. Food is always spot on, Ryan and Matthew are always great. They make you feel like you're visiting their home and having their latest creation. Love the chefs bar, but dining is great anywhere. Wine list is top notch and the staff is always great. If you're in Nashville and want legit Italian, make a res. (I was there a week after Rome/Naples and still felt the same- if that tells you anything) read more

The garlic bread and salad were the best part of the meal. We had the lightest and heaviest pasta and I'd rate them both 3/10. Our pasta was undercooked and the dish had way too much lemon. Probably won't be going back. Check out pelato. The service and ambiance were both good, but food was mediocre. read more

One of the better meals I have had in Nashville! Appetizers all the way to desert were top notch! Do not skip desert!!

Absolutely amazing! You can feel the vibe of this place as you are walking up to the door. The staff are excellent and knowledgeable about the menu which helps make the dining experience special. The plates are served family style, being shared with the table. Each dish was an explosion of flavors with no two being the same. We started off with iggy's Garlic Bread and the Whipped Ricotta, which was Bloomsbury Farms tomatoes, onion jam, fennel pollen on Dozen's Bakery sourdough toast. For the pastas we ordered the Doppia Agnolotti which had a sweet corn and ricotta filling, chives and tarragon-butter. The Roman Style Semolina Gnocchi with a Taleggio fondue, Australian black truffles, shallots, and sherry vinegar reduction. Then we had the Fusilli alla Vodka Sauce with Liuzzi burrata and basil, followed by "Little Shell" which was Maine peekytoe crab, sea urchin butter, Japanese red chiles, yuzu and roasted seaweed. Like I said the flavors are incredible. The wine and cocktail offerings are selected to compliment the food. It is a dining experience worth the price tag. You better go to iggy's before they are recognized by the Michelin Guide. Enjoy your tasty travels! read more

Iggy's - Ravioli, ricotta and tuna tartare. Perfect. - Italian Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Iggy's was my best meal ever in Nashville! The menu is very limited and usually a good sign for any restaurant. We had 3 of the 4 appetizers offered and every single one was a delightful surprise. We had 4 of the pastas-marinara, Cacio e Pepe, vodka sauce and bolognese. My favorite was the bolognese but each selection included many layers of flavor in each bite. But we all agreed the Lemon Huckleberry dessert was the most amazing sweet treat we have ever eaten! Ambience was fun and buzzing. Great wine list. 10/10 for every category.

Finally made it to Iggys and wish I had come earlier!!! We decided to get the ricotta toast and garlic bread as starters. Both were delicious. Boyfriend said the garlic bread was the best he had ever put in his mouth lol. Have nothing but the best praise for those two apps and the pino noir we got!!! Our server was so helpful in our choice for dinner. I went in knowing I wanted, the vodka gnocchi, but he did not know what to order. Server gave a phenomenal recommendation for the bolognese! The vodka gnocchi was a little salty for my taste but the bolognese was amazing!!! We ended with the coffee soft serve, so good but we had already eaten too much to finish it. Truly a gem of a restaurant and we cannot wait to go back!!! read more

Iggys is close to our work and we have been looking forward to dining here. As you first walk in, you will see that the place is very charming. The lighting is warm and the layout is very interesting. The hostess greets us and personally seats us at the bar. We were a walk-in. Each of us ordered a cocktail. They were very good and the attention to detail by the bartender was fun to watch. It went downhill from there. We normally share a meal, don't do that here, or you will go home hungry. I'm guessing the serving portion was maybe 1 cup. The risotto with seafood was served a little more al dente than we prefer and it was extremely salty. We ate it anyway. Then you'd better pay attention to your bill. Gratuity was included. Don't make my mistake and add an additional tip unless you are extremely pleased. The cocktails were perfect; however, I can not recommend the food. I read reviews on this restaurant, and they were so complimentary, but I don't see it. read more

Everything at iggy's is so thoughtfully done, it creates such a lovely experience. Service was fantastic, and sitting at the chef's counter was perfect especially as a solo diner. I've been thinking about the arancini at least twice a day since I ordered them, the nduja sauce was stupid good. The confit chicken ravioli was a great winter entree, the brussel sprouts were the standout star of that dish for me. They were super nice and gave me a mini version of one of the soft serves for dessert since I can't / shouldn't overdo it on dairy. The vanilla soft serve with the lemon curd was perfectly balanced. For drinks I really liked the Brooklyn and the gimlet, they felt very different but delicious, the gimlet was great with dessert since it's on the sour side. Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food. read more

Yeah this place rocks. The stars of the show for us were the Whipped Ricotta, Ratatouille filled Ravioli, and the Tiramisu Sundae. Such a fantastic mix of flavors, and a fun dining experience getting to eat while watching the chefs cook. Highly recommend. read more

I love when restaurants have a short menu where every dish is super well executed, and I love it even more when I want to order everything off that menu. Iggy's is one of those restaurants. We started with the garlic bread, arancini, and whipped ricotta. The whipped ricotta was the highlight, with the whipped ricotta paired with a sweet onion jam to make this a sweeter bite. The garlic bread was unfortunately too cream cheese heavy for me. Arancini were solid, with a nice crispy exterior. For the pastas, we tried: Cacio e Pepe gargenelli - To my surprise, this might have been my favorite pasta of the night. The pasta is made with the black pepper embedded in it, and usually I don't like black pepper, but somehow it didn't bother me at all in this dish. Agnolotti - I'm always a fan of agnolotti, this was creamy and felt lighter from the acidity of the lemon that was in the sauce. "Little Ribbons" Bolognese - This was the most comforting of the pastas, just solid red sauce and meat with a nice crunch from the breadcrumbs. Butternut squash tortellini - This was nice and creamy, with a super buttery flavor (which is not for me personally, but everyone else really liked it). Squid Ink Radiatore Fra Diavolo - The spice in this pasta was just enough to make it known but not overwhelming. Another great pasta if you like spice. But really all the pastas were solid so you can't go wrong. read more

A unique Friday night occurred and we were hungry early and decided to try a new place. Arriving at 5:30, we easily snagged two seats at the bar which was all open and a tad industrial but still elevated vibe. We were promptly served by a friendly bartender. We started with the Rosas are Red Spritz which is Cocchi Rosa Aperitif, lemon and cava. It was slightly sweet, tart and refreshing. I am a huge fan! The bartender recommended 2 appetizers, 2 entrees (maybe 3 entrees if you are very hungry). We had the blue fin tuna crudo which was on the menu for a limited time and the burrata with onion jam. The tuna was good but the burrata was to die for. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and the jam added a nice complexity. The burrata was more of an afterthought, but I loved it anyway. We ordered the agnolotti with whipped ricotta cheese and summer truffles. The flavor was great and it was light, but the portion was tiny. We were splitting everything and it was gone in about two bites. The fresh pomodoro was a lovely spaghetti with tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. It was fantastic and light but delicious. The portion was larger but once again not large. While the food was rave worthy and delicious, we were both hungry a few hours later. I wish they would up their portion sizes or offer side dishes to help make the meal more substantial. Overall we were impressed but wish we were full longer. read more

We are new to the Nashville area and stopped at Iggys due to a recommendation. We did not have reservations so we had to wait a bit to be seated at the bar. Service was friendly. Appetizers were good but the entrees were okay. I do not understand the hype but food was okay and some portions were a bit small although we were informed that it would be enough for us to share. We also ordered a tiramisu dessert and we were surprised that it was mainly caramel ice cream with a very small piece of some sort of tiramisu. read more

So amazing! If you love pasta this is definitely a good spot to hit up. I love the glass wall where you can see them making the pasta fresh. I look forward to returning when the menu switches up. read more

Absolutely the best in Nashville and beyond. The food, the service and the ambiance are all amazing. You must try this restaurant.

This was a dining experience that lived up to the hype! The atmosphere was fun, not pretentious, a little loud but not so that you couldn't have a conversation. The service was terrific, the staff friendly from start to finish. Then, of course, there is the food. The build up we had heard from four family members left me expecting good food, but I was a little prepared to be mildly let down; this was not to be. We started with the salad and the garlic bread. I've never had anything quite like that garlic bread. We were forewarned to order two; we didn't listen and we should have. I would go back just for that bread! Warm, soft inside with a delicious crusty exterior and stuffed with a slightly sweet cream cheese filling it is a MUST HAVE. We ordered three pastas which came out one at a time. The menu changes regularly but for our visit we started with the Agnolotti with truffles. This was a small portion but absolutely delicious. Next to come out was a large seafood pasta, which is not currently on the menu. It had lobster and octopus and a spicy sauce. I love seafood, but the pasta and sauce was so good I wouldn't even have missed it. We followed this up with the Bolognese, the biggest serving. A seemingly simple rigatoni in red sauce with meat, it was fabulous. We discussed for a good portion of the evening which pasta was our favorite and if we could only have one, which one would we get and we couldn't decide between the three they were all so good. We finished off the night, sharing their version of tiramisu. One bite, and my mind was blown. I had plenty to eat and was sufficiently full but again I wished I had gotten my own. It was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing about it. Again, I would return just for the dessert and that is saying a lot because all of the pastas were really great. I would advise reservations if you plan on going. read more
