Pelato gets a rare five-star review from me! Four of us went for a weekday dinner and the…read morerestaurant was packed, so definitely make a reservation before you go. Our server was Matt and he was part of the reason why our dinner was so excellent. He was super attentive without being a nuisance. He kept the drinks flowing, timed out our food perfectly and had excellent meal suggestions. Our meal: 1. Garlic Bread with Red Sauce - the bread was thickly sliced and grilled, so it was crunchy on the outside and perfectly chewy on the inside. It was super buttery and something I would eat every day of my life. 2. Pelato Salad - all of us loved this salad. I think it was the oregano vinaigrette that really made the salad a star. You usually don't hear someone rave about a salad, but this one was a must-order. 3. Burnt Broccolini - again, all of us loved this. The broccolini may have been my favorite thing I ate. It was perfectly charred and had the most delicious dressing over it. 4. Crispy Garlic Potatoes - good. Hot and crispy but a basic potato. 5. Creamy Polenta & Bolognese Sauce - not what I was expecting at all. It was really flat and covered in broiled cheese. I tasted more Parm than I did anything else. 6. Chicken Parmigiana - really good. Crispy chicken, lots of sauce. 7. Campanelle Limone - for all of us, this was our least favorite dish. I was expecting to taste lemon, but the creamy sauce was too lemony. I would not order that again. 8. Radiatori Vodka - ending on a high note. This was delicious. Who doesn't love a vodka sauce? They recommend 2-3 dishes per person. I think if the four of us had ordered more than 8 total, I would have died. We were all so full that we could not even look at a dessert menu. I will definitely go back to Pelato. Next time, I'm going to try the stuffed mushrooms and the meatballs!

Since this was our first time here, we wanted to try a pasta and a pizza that we shared (and we had…read moresome leftover for a snack later) Pinsa Maleducata - Tomato sauce, Fontina cheese, Pancetta (Italian Bacon) & Onion Jam (yum!) Gnocchi Crema Di Gorgonzola- Pecorino & Roasted with Pistacchios on top. Both were delicious, the Gnocchi was light, exactly how it should be and the Gorgonzola-Pecorino creme sauce was was smooth and perfectly made. We couldn't resist a good finish, so we split a Tiramisu - Mascarpone cream & Coffee lady finger cookies topped with cocoa powder. I had an espresso & my wife opted for a cappuccino (even though it was after 11am... shh, don't tell anyone). The server was attentive & helpful and we enjoyed the food. We were actually between the normal lunch & dinner shift, so the restaurant was not too busy. We opted to sit outside which was a little noisy from the road traffic at that hour, I did take a look inside and at the kitchen area. On our next trip here, we will be sitting inside and try some of their wine, and other offerings. Both the Gnocchi and the Pizza were very good, and we look forward to our next visit.

Absolutely incredible food, but the vibe is a little odd…read more My friend and I stopped by here to grab dinner during the week, and we were sat immediately. The staff here are super friendly, and gave us great recommendations once we were seated. The restaurant is semi-full service. You are sat at a table, but you have the menu online and can only order online. At that point I'd rather just take it to-go. My friend's phone was dead, so we also had to pass my phone back and forth to order. There are a couple of servers taking care of all of the tables once the orders are ready, so it feels like the restaurant is trying to get away with paying less people. I ordered the nonna paula, added pancetta to it, and made it spicy. The sauce was absolutely incredible. It was smooth, nutty, and creamy, and the house-made pasta was cooked perfectly. I wish their version of making it spicy didn't also make it more oily; it also didn't really add any kick to it. I'd definitely order to-go, but I'm not sure if I'd dine-in here again.

My fabulous wife started with a Forbidden Sour drink and it was really good. She also got the Bruschetta: Garlic Rubbed Focaccia, Burrata, Cherry Tomato, Basil & Arugula Pesto, and Balsamic Pearls. She said it was delicious. We both choose the Cast Iron Lasagna: Bolognese, Ricotta, Mozzarella, and Basil. Pure delicious comfort food. Hot and bubbly beautiful and so tasty. Very Satisfying. Excellent Ambiance and would definitely return. Fabulous Service.

It's located downtown, but feels like a hidden gem all on its own. When you walk in, you're greeted by a beautiful dining space with photos lining the walls, and the outdoor seating is just as beautiful. We sat outside with the heaters on, and it felt cozy and intimate. We started the night with the Meatballs and the Whipped Ricotta with chili honey...I'm still thinking about them. Both were incredible. We also ordered Espresso Martinis, which were good, although definitely on the stronger, coffee-forward side. If you like spinach, you MUST try the Rotolo Alla Vodka. I've never had anything like it-- the sauce was unreal. We also shared the Ophelia's Lasagna, which was almost just as good... almost. For dessert, we split the Tiramisu, and it did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was a solid 10/10. Every plate was gone before I even thought to take out my phone for pictures. Our server, Gavin, really elevated the experience. He was extremely welcoming and gave the best recommendations! It was packed on a Saturday night, so definitely make a reservation. We saw a mix of large groups and couples. I parked in a $20 garage down the street, but Ubering would also be a great option. Overall just a great spot! I'll be back soon.

It's just a pretty restaurant and I'm always happy when I'm here. The food is always good - everything is hot or cold as it should be. There's a vast variety of options depending on what you are looking for, and a lot of it is great to share with a table of friends.

Every dish felt thoughtfully put together, and a few really stood out. I've been on the hunt for more black sesame treats, and the raspberry sherbet with cremolata and salted black sesame seed butter was exactly what I was looking for--the most perfect, not-too-sweet dessert. Creative, balanced, and completely unforgettable. I'd go back just for that. The stracciatella on toast was another standout--simple but incredibly well executed. My second favorite dish was the lightly roasted snap pea with fennel, spring onion, and chili--fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. So good. The linguini and clams was decent, but didn't quite hit the same level as the other dishes. It leaned a bit too al dente for my taste, and the flavor felt a little on the bland side. Overall, an incredible dining experience with standout dishes and impeccable service. Try this when you're in Germantown.

Our small plates were all excellent too. We started off with a Focaccia with Oregano, Garlic, Pollen and a side of Ricotta with Pistachio & Parsley. Next up, we loved the Artichokes with Lemon, Olive Oil, and Mint. And don't miss the fabulous Tiramisu for dessert. We sat at the counter of the stylish, long and narrow spot, and enjoyed watching all the open-kitchen proceedings, and chatting with the warm staff and Chef Hanna himself as well. By the time we were finished our dinner, it was clear why St. Vito earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand award for 2025. Definitely add it to your Nashville Dining "Must Do" List!
