We discovered this hidden gem by accident while looking for Italian around the Vanderbilt area…read more The reviews looked great and we were looking for pasta and other options. It's a cozy space, we were seated in the outdoor area which has been completely closed in with plastic for the winter. The heat was blasting and it was a perfect spot, very inviting, and had outdoor TVs. We had two servers, young and very polite that checked on us. The menu includes appetizers, pizzas, calzones, pastas, salad, etc. We ordered the garlic knots, small Cesar salad, 14" pizza, and chicken parmigiana. Food arrived extremely quickly, starting with the salad. It was perfect as an appetizer, the dressing was light - more like Italian and the lettuce was crisp. Next came the garlic knots, which were drenched in butter. The knots were crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. We would 100% recommend them, even though pasta are served with the knots (which we didn't know). The pizzas came in four sizes 12, 14, 16 and then one bigger. I thought the pan size looked small for the 12 so I ordered the 14" chicken BBQ pizza. It arrives next and was quite large! It was thin crust with a crunchy crust. It was delicious, perfect amount of toppings. Then the chicken parmigiana arrived, and it was heaping with freshly breaded and fried chicken with marinara pasta underneath. It was a big portion served in a bowl and my daughter loved it. We will be back to try more food, would highly recommend. Also, if you have a car, there was a lot of paid street parking available. Also, down the street from a nice park if you have kids!

The staff gave great recommendations, the food was fresh, and service was fast (even during the lunch rush!) I tried the new Ziti Alla Vodka, and I'll 100% be getting it again. The rich sauce has the perfect amount of spice, and your pasta comes with a slice of warm focaccia as well. My friend tried the Build-Your-Own Pasta Bowl and loved the meatballs with pink sauce. I'll have to try it next time! The restaurant has a great ambience, and both indoor and outdoor seating. I sat on the patio, which is beautiful on a sunny day! I do have to say it can get kind of loud because there's a car wash directly to the right of the restaurant, but it was still a very nice experience. I'll be going back again to get some Tiramisu!

I began my night by ordering Risotto Balls, an appetizer so good that it rivals the risotto balls I had in Rome earlier this year. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Parm which is one of the best Chicken Parms I have ever had.

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.

After about five minutes, the server came over and recommended the chicken piccata, which was genuinely delicious. I was also offered bread with olive oil, but the bread was cold and had very little flavor. The service, though, really missed the mark. There were no check-ins, no interaction, and I had to track someone down just to get a to-go box and my check. When I left, no one acknowledged me or thanked me for coming in. Altogether, I spent about $40 with tip for a glass of wine and a lunch portion of chicken piccata. The food was solid, but the service and attention to detail need improvement. I'd consider returning if those issues are addressed.

Definitely want to come back and try more items off their menu!

Fantastic experience at Adele's!…read more When I landed in Nashville, I hung my clothes in the hotel closet and walked straight to the restaurant. Outside I see BBQ smokers and outdoor seating. The restaurant, I see is set up for fun! I arrived early so I can have a happy hour cocktail. Walking inside, to the right is a large bar with plenty of seating. I have a seat and order off the cocktail menu: Something, Somehow, Someday. Made with Tequila, blackberry agave, aperol and lime, this was one tasty cocktail to get the party started. Once I finished my cocktail, the hostess sat me at the chefs table. Now I need a proper cocktail (I mean, I am in Tennessee) so I ordered Walkin' After Midnight: Old forester rye mixed with raspberry-mint demerara. Another proper cocktail before dinner. For my main entree, I ordered the Redfish. A perfectly cooked fish topped coconut rice, shaved apple & celery and crispy shallots. The coconut rice elevated this dish, it truly was fantastic and highly recommended. The chef came over to me, we had some small talk and then he sent over some oven potatoes. Just a classy move that made my meal extra special. My first night in Nashville, I went to Adele's. From the amazing cocktails to the chef'd up fish, Adele's should be in your restaurant to visit while in Nashville.

I've visited Adele's several times over the years, always hoping to recapture the magic of my first…read morefew visits. Most recently, I attended their Easter brunch buffet with my parents while they were in town for the holiday. The buffet featured several familiar items from the restaurant's menu, including some of their classic shareables like the potatoes and broccolini, alongside seasonal offerings like shrimp and molasses-glazed ham. Unfortunately, this visit felt a bit underwhelming overall. While there was plenty of variety, very little truly stood out. Some dishes, like the bacon and broccolini, tasted more like something I could have easily made at home rather than elevated brunch offerings. The shrimp was noticeably overcooked, and the molasses-glazed ham felt like a dish that needed more development before making it onto the buffet. The flavor profile just didn't feel fully realized. One of the biggest disappointments for me was learning that their famous coconut cake was no longer available. When I asked about it, a server mentioned that the chef responsible for it had left the restaurant some time ago. That moment honestly summed up much of how this visit felt. The restaurant still has the atmosphere and foundation of what once made it special, but something about the experience feels like it's missing the spark it used to have. Overall, Adele's is still a beautiful space with a strong reputation, but this visit left me feeling more nostalgic for what it once was than excited to return again soon.

Little Hats is a great place to have a casual Italian meal…read more For my first time, the counter clerk was very helpful with suggestions and information about the menu.

Things changed for dessert - the tiramisu was fine, but the chocolate budino was way too hard and not mousse like and the gelato was more like ice cream than gelato and was way gummy. Would definitely recommend for mains and apps but not for dessert!
