I have lived in Nashville since 1986. Overall, I miss the old mid 1990s-mid 2000's Nashville. It's gotten to the point where we've now lost most good local restaurants to chains and big corporate entities... While Iggy's is not a vet veteran around here, and is actually quite the opposite, they are a breath of fresh air. Hospitality is amazing there from the moment you walk in... The Poli brothers are both incredibly kind and humble and friendly... Ryan's culinary skills are amazing and his cooks are consistent. I have never experienced any kind of conceited behavior, which has unfortunately become the norm in a lot of Nashville restaurants these days. read more

Great pasta, even better experience. I'm vegan, so I was expecting little to no options at Iggy's but wanted to go drink some wine and maybe munch on some broccolini or whatever sides they could make dairy-free. Despite the website including multiple warnings and even receiving a phone call after making the reservation stressing that the menu is limited for vegans, I still had one of my favorite Italian meals in Nashville -- the kitchen easily took off the cheese on a salad and made my own spicy tomato pasta. The team had great wine recs and we overall received wonderful service from Kayla. Highly recommend for a date night! So fun and such wonderful food. read more

It is criminal that my wife and I had not eaten here until now. The Poli bros were without question the best to do their thing at the Catbird Seat. Matthew is an expert at his craft and to this day I have not had a beer-food pairing to match when we dined at the Catbird Seat. Ryan and Matthew are doing something truly special at Iggys. They are serving World Class Italian food in a fun, laid back setting. If you are in Nashville, this is an experience you should not miss. read more

I thought Iggy's was pretty good. Pasta was fresh and delicious and the service was great. All the pastas tasted similar, but the garlic bread is to die for. They had great dessert as well and we got the Tiramisu thingy. Overall, I do not think I would go back but super happy I went here. Ambience was decent, I didn't love how New and clean the restaurant but also I'm just a heartthrob for the old-school Italian restaurants. read more

Casual and inviting atmosphere and friendly server with insightful recommendations. Started with the saffron Arancini, great proportion for a solo diner and so tasty. Then onto the sweet corn and ricotta agnolotti. Fresh from the garden sweet corn w/ricotta and wild mushrooms in a light tarragon butter sauce with perfect al dente pasta. Try this dish and you might rethink the traditionally heavy Italian meal. Such a lovely meal tonight. I highly recommend this little WeHo gem. read more

Delicious food and fantastic, friendly service. The gnocchi was to die for and I'm still thinking about the burrata appetizer. Would definitely go again. read more

Very nice ambiance and service, but the pasta was very mediocre especially given the price. If you are looking for great food, you would be better off going somewhere else. The starters were the star of the meal, while the pastas either lacked flavor or were rather strange (not in a good way). read more

We had a fabulous dinner there tonight. Food was awesome! Highly recommend this gem. Prices are reasonable and service was outstanding.! Put this on your list of places to try. Also shout out to the manager who went out of his way to take care of us ! read more

One of the best dining experiences we've had in Nashville! Every dish was fantastic, but the standouts were the tortellini with short rib, agnolotti with sweet corn and ricotta, whipped ricotta on sourdough, and garlic bread with cream cheese. Oh, and the desserts! Every single one was delicious. Our server CK was professional, helpful, and welcoming, and owners Ryan and Matthew made us feel as if we'd stepped into their own home for a meal (complete with kitchen tour). I can't wait to return again and again to this special spot! read more

Food is Amazing!! We had Garlic bread (one of the top 10 foods I've ever put in my mouth) and Whipped feta (also amazing). Ravioli and Tortellini were unique and flavorful. This experience was a real treat and we will definitely be back. Staff was friendly and attentive. Wasn't crazy about dessert, next time we will order a third pasta/ app instead. They also charge a 20% service charge up front which I'm not crazy about. read more

We definitely need more food options in WeHo so we were pumped to try Iggy's! On a Friday night (back in August), there was about a 1.5hr wait for a bar seat (no table options). Fun cocktails and I liked the burrata. The gem lettuce was overdressed. The pastas were fine- nothing really stood out (bolognese and angolotti). I would def return and try a diff pasta, or at minimum enjoy a drink at the bar. read more

Went here on a busy Friday night but had great service. There is a cool ambiance and vibe overall! We really enjoyed the garlic bread and both of our pasta dishes. However we wished the portions were bigger! read more

Really delicious food and overall a great experience! Don't skip the garlic bread or the caramel rice pudding dessert. Favorite pastas were the bolognese and the short rib gnocchi. Only negative to report is that the seating is not super comfortable - benches along the wall are strangely narrow making it feel like you are perched on the seat, and our party of five was seated at a round table that made seating awkward (two seated in chairs were fine, but the three spaced along the corner benches were either too close or too far from the table). read more

Enjoyed Iggy's on a Friday night! We didn't have reservations but we walked in at 5p on the dot and we were seated right away. We ordered the garlic bread and Burrata to start. Garlic bread really was so good! 6 pieces come in it so it was easy to split amongst 3 of us. The Burrata was also very good! We ordered 3 pastas: fusilli alla vodka sauce, cacio e pepe & sweet corn agnolotti (I think- I don't see our night's menu online but I know it was sweet corn). I tried both the fusilli and cacio e pepe and they were amazing! The pasta is so fresh. The cacio e pepe has a bit of a wheat flavor to the pasta which made it almost earthy. I love the fusilli shape and the sauce was good. It could've been creamier but it was still really good! Honestly, a big takeaway for me is that the portions are not as small as people have been saying on Yelp. Between 3 people and 5 pastas, we had 2 takeaway containers. The stuffed pastas are definitely smaller, maybe 8-10 pieces. But one person could order the fusilli or cacio e pepe and be totally satisfied, if not stuffed after appetizers. Don't be afraid of the prices :) Overall, really enjoyed this place and the service! read more

We went to Iggy's for the first time and it was excellent. Great food and service. I liked the sharing meals and the flavors!! A couple of things to think about changing...the cacio e Pepe had a pasta noodle that did not match. It needs to be a thinner noodle. And the desserts.... Soft serve ice cream does not match the rest of the menu. It was very out of place. Go for fresh made gelato, if you're looking for easy or don't want to hire a pastry chef. The appetizers were great and so was the pasta. read more

Been dying to try this new restaurant to Nashville especially since i dying for a Italian restaurant in Nashville. We had 9 dishes . Two small and 5 pasta and 2 desert. Garlic bread was alright. Crudo was just alright. But there is much more flavored crudo in Nashville. The two stuffed pasta were undercooked and it was difficult to cut thru. The best was the bolognese. The vodka sauce had no flavor. Sorry but it didn't meet expectations!!! read more

I am still dreaming about Iggy's Garlic Bread - it is no joke the best thing I have ever consumed in my life. I like zoned out and had a foodgasm and had to have my friend repeat what she was sharing. It is an absolutely non-negotiable, even my gluten-free friend enjoyed it! Savory, buttery, perfectly baked, with a subtle sweet whipped cream cheese. It's DIVINE. We also split the healthy, yet fully delicious greener roots salad (it's about balance, okay) and enjoyed every bite of the bolognese (failed to get a picture) and tortellini. The tortellini has a delicate richness with a slightly sweet flavor that makes a better dish to share than eat alone. We paired our dishes with red wines that were recommended by our server. We had a very pleasant time eating outside on the patio as the weather has improved and appreciated the indoor bar area as an alternative option for us as we did not have reservations. We were very well attended to by our server, Lily! I am so glad I live near here bc it will definitely be a regular rotation for me now! Parking may be a bit tricky, but it's worth the effort to find free street parking and walk unless or you can pay to be close. This is the best spot for post work hangs with friends or colleagues, a romantic date night, or some solitude! Make sure you go soon, it's soooooo good!!!! read more

Good atmosphere, yes very loud! But I like it I'm young! THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! MUST GET GARLIC BREAD! Loved the wine.... It was 70 dollars but damn it was good! I would leave the burrata out, definitely just get the garlic bread. -.5 star for waiters telling me how I SHOULD ORDER.... I don't want to be told how I should order I'm paying 200 dollars to eat let me chose how I want to order???? Also I don't mind the 20% added but our server didn't deserve 20% I would have given it either way but he was very pushy I think they need to lean back. -.5 portions need to be at least 4 noddles bigger! I understand the cost and price point but 26 dollars for 6 pieces cmon? I love the restaurant definitely will go back when my funds are up! read more

Pricey but great atmosphere especially on the patio. Bolognese pasta was killer and the service was perfect. Upon arrival, they said an hour wait but we were sat within 20 minutes. read more

Have always had such great service and food here. Sitting at the chefs counter is such a fun experience & the food is out of this world. We're excited to come back to try their Sunday "no decisions" meal! read more

Amazing service, wine and food! The garlic bread was our favorite! We can not wait to come back and try more pasta. read more

First dinner at Iggy's based on strong word-of-mouth recommendations. The space is minimalist industrial and a little sterile. After declining a table at the kitchen door initially offered to us (even though we were first-time local diners with a reservation), we ended up sitting at the show kitchen counter. The seating was nice, but there is not a lot of interest or artistry going on, with the chefs basically heating up pastas and pre-prepared sauces in pans from precisely measured (and very small) portions of ingredients, though each order is prepared to order separately and very carefully. Clearly the magic of the sauces happens behind the scenes and well ahead of time. Service overall was efficient but a bit cool and perfunctory, which was disappointing and should be better when the restaurant presumptuously adds a non-discretionary 20% gratuity to each bill. That being said, the garlic bread starter lived up to its reputation, is almost like a garlic butter-infused biscuit and delicious. The green salad had very nice ingredients and was good, though was a little too vinegary for both of our tastes. The Rigatoni Bolognese and Cacio de Pepe Garganelli mains were both excellent, with perfectly al dente pastas and very tasty sauces, albeit in very modest portions. Spumoni dessert was excellent. Although Italian cuisine of the quality offered by Iggy's is hard to find in Nashville, overall the experience was good but not great and Iggy's did not really live up to the hype for us. read more

My fiancé is in a wheelchair so I was concerned about being able to get in the building. There are steps from the parking lot, but we were happy to find a wheelchair lift from the street that goes up to their patio! The food was delicious. We both loved the lobster risotto and I didn't get a picture but we also got the garlic bread. The whipped cream cheese is sweet and really adds to the garlic bread. Between the 2 desserts we liked the lemon huckleberry the best, the salted caramel was a little more bitter than we were expecting. Staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

An Italian restaurant is measured by the excellence of their bolognese and this place truly shines. The variety of meats and fennel sausage with a light kiss of tomato was cooked to perfection. The pasta was perfectly cooked al dente. I recommend without reservations. Va bene !! read more

Service = Fantastic. Rachel was great! Environment = Relaxing and not stuffy. It was packed and the noise level was minimal. Food = most dishes we tried were delicious. Portions were SMALL. The garlic bread was so-so. The squid ink pasta was amazing. The tortellinis were very tasty. The most disappointing was the $12.00 Dairy Queen style dessert that comes out of a large ice cream machine. So basically Ice cream in a cup with different flavors sprinkled over it. It's just a lazy solution for not having a pastry chef. Italian style desserts would thrive here. This tanked a star for me. Parking = We had to pay $10.00 to park in a lot that should be free. It's not a busy area, but it will make us think twice before coming to Iggy's again. That dropped a star for me. Overall, it needs some work but worth a visit. read more

Great food and vibe, cozy casual, So cute and our server was so great! Need to come back for the garlic bread!

Great food and service! My favorite items were the tuna tartare and the short rib gnocchi!

Service was great, food was amazing! They are upfront about the 20% automatic gratuity and they deserve it! In fact, I tipped cash on top of it!! We will definitely be back. read more

Absolutely incredible! The staff were so helpful introducing the menu and giving recs. Food was so good. Get the garlic bread! I'm still thinking about how good it was. We also really liked the lobster risotto! read more

Incredible food! You can't go wrong with anything you order on the menu. Amazing ambience.

Fantastic restaurant! The food, atmosphere, and staff are incredible. I highly recommend this place to anyone that's wanting something delicious! read more

What an amazing find. First thing that is striking is the decor right down to the chairs. After being seated the menu was explained as shareable portions and that the portions were such that for 2 we were recommended 2 starters and 3 pasta dishes. We chose wisely and enjoyed Tortellini w/butternut squash, Tonnarelli with razor clams and Rigatoni bolognese-all were exceptional. We were served and thanked by one of the proprietors who overlooked every meal that left the kitchen. A very good experience I hope to repeat. read more

I have been twice in the last week and both experiences were superb. It surprised me that Iggys only had 4 stars, but the negative reviews were around portion size, pasta being al dente, and auto gratuity. If you want a pound of wet pasta go to Amerigo or Olive Garden. If you want to taste exquisite flavors paired with expertly cooked pasta styles, Iggys is for you. The corn ravioli is my favorite amongst the pastas. The garlic bread may be the best garlic bread I've ever had. There isn't another pasta joint in Nashville that comes close to the flavor and texture of Iggys, (R&D included as they have fallen off a cliff). Very well done overall. read more

I liked everything about this place. It was a good experience. The pastas are great. Good service and ambiance.

Great vibe, great service, and the food was delicious. Definitely prepare to spend a pretty penny, but we found it worth it. The garlic bread was absolutely sinfully good. The burrata was perfection. They have their on spin on cacio e pepe, but it was delectable. We also had the agnolotti and the lobster pasta dish and they were both great. They didn't miss on any dish. For two of us we got 2 apps and 3 pastas. We left STUFFED. read more

One of the best dining experiences we've had in Nashville so far! We sat at the chef's table which was such a neat experience. The service was great and the food was insane. Must get the garlic bread! read more

Welcoming environment, great service, open concept kitchen was fun to experience. Food was really good, a little salty but overall a great new addition to the neighborhood. read more

By far the best restaurant in Nashville. The moment you step inside, you are greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu is a masterpiece, the flavors and dishes truly make you feel like you are tasting dishes from around the world. The cocktails are beautifully crafted and easy to drink. Iggy's garlic bread is a MUST to start. All of the pictures attached to this review are out of this world. If it's still on the menu, you will not regret ordering!! I have terrible intolerances with butter & milk but somehow I can eat it here without any symptoms, I truly think it's just the quality of the food. Chef Ryan Poli & his brother Matthew have truly brought such a delight to Nashville!! Iggy's is a must-visit for anyone local or visiting, you will not be disappointed!! read more

Great homemade pastas. Good for sharing and trying multiple plates! Staff was friendly and cocktails were good. Nice to get out of downtown.

We spent the weekend in Nashville (from Louisville) and celebrated our 3 year anniversary here and we could not have picked a better place!!! The only regret I have was starting the weekend off here, the bar was set way too high for all the other places we ate at after! I'm a retired server/hostess/back of house expo and prep, and in my 10 years of restaurant experience I have NEVER had a dining experience this wonderful. I told the staff I would have to give a full description as a review and I will make good on my word: I made reservations, parked the car and walked in to see my date sitting at the bar top. I first thought "we made a reservation, why are we at a bar?". Oh how mistaken I was. It was hands down the best seats in the house. We got to see the chefs making the food fresh! Ryan came over and introduced himself, made sure we had everything we needed, and kept us laughing nonstop. Shoutout to our awesome sauce server, Rachel! She was super attentive, beyond friendly, and ridiculously knowledgeable about the menu. I will thank her for the rest of my days for explaining the menu so well and recommending the garlic bread to us (they're famous for it!) Matthew was super sweet and talked to us about Louisville staples. Yes, even the chefs making the food made time to check on us, recommend great Louisville places, and welcome us to the city! That's the kind of southern hospitality I love! We shared the truffle pasta and the lemon butter pasta with the Maine clams (I completely forgot the names) and it was to DIE for. So fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. We were on the fence about dessert, but then Rachel surprised us with a soft serve ice cream over lemon and huckleberry! I could have cried! The kitchen congratulated us again and honestly I don't know why we even considered not getting dessert, that ice cream was the softest soft serve I ever had the pleasure of encountering, and the cookie crumbs with the lemon and huckleberry was such a nice touch! It was one of our more pricier of the weekend, but worth every single penny and more. We went to another share style pasta place over the weekend and they did not even come close to Iggy's, we couldn't tell if we truly didn't like it or if Iggy's was just that incredible. It was the first place we told our friends and family about when we got back home, we already decided we will be taking another trip back to Nashville mainly for Iggy's! Hospitality, Food, Service, Ambience, all a 12/10. Thank you guys so much!!-T read more
