Wonderful lunch with my lovely wife. The food was very good as we expected and with nice portions. I was able to take some of my wife's Nonna Paula to work for lunch. Even as leftovers it was great. Our server was very helpful and friendly. They were seating both indoors and out due to a perfect spring day. We enjoy this piece of Italy for a treat or date night. Tip: You order at the counter or if you scan the QR code at your table you can order on the app and in no time your food will arrive. Appetizer first and main course followed and was delivered with all plates together. read more

Food gets 5 Stars for sure. I had the lasagna. It was unique but not enough to lose the authentic lasagna style. The flavor was beyond what I anticipated. Amazing! The sauce is a wonderful balance of a delicious marinara with a bit a a creamy texture and flavor wich just put it in my best flavor category. The restaurant is a unique and fun atmosphere. With windows looking into the kitchen, which was very clean. The downfall for me and my guest was the way ordering is done. As a first time patron it took a little bit for us to get the hang of it. Especially since only one of us had a phone with us to see the menu. We just took turns looking at my phone. Unfortunately, my guest was taking me out and wanted to pay so he had to use my phone to put all of his personal and card information to pay. This it where they lost a star unfortunately. In the end, I do plan to come again and tell others of the amazing food!​ read more

Dined at PennePazze on Saturday, November 29, 2025 at around 1 pm. I was intrigued by the black to-go boxes when my family ordered delivery that I had to stop by in-person. The restaurant looked like a clean fast-casual establishment, kinda reminds me of Vapiano's with the open kitchen. Despite the limited service, I thought it was super convenient to order through the app and pay. And the server was super friendly. I had the nonna Paula, which is a campanelle pasta with pesto sauce. I thought this dish tasted authentic and the pesto was freshly made. I did add on shrimp, which were tasted overcooked to mush. The vegan pinsa tasted really good considering it had no cheese. The onion jam on the pizza was delicious! read more

This establishment is somewhat of self service set up. Plan to place your order in your phone and if you're ordering a soft drink you can fill and refill on your own. They do validate parking so wait until you get inside to scan the QR code for that. Now let's get down to my favorite part, the food. I have never had a bad tasting item here. I love their Nina Paula (pesto pasta), carbonara, and gnocchi crema di Gorgonzola pastas. We also regularly order their Pinsa Malala pizza. The food is delicious and filling. They offer casual indoor and patio seating. I have never had a bad experience and am a repeat customer. read more

This is my second time here and I wish I would've come back sooner! Excellent in every way. I had the Ragu & Funghi and the pasta was a PERFECT al dente. Sauce was delectable. Also the soda fountain drinks were awesome if you like that kinda thing! Service was good and food was out FAST. I'll definitely be coming back to try other dishes. I was hesitant about ordering off my phone with the QR code but in the end it was super easy and I think I'd like more places to have that option!!! read more

The service was good. It's very hands off though since you order on your phone. There is little communication with the staff. The food was ok but honestly I thought my main dish was a little dry. The appetizer we got was very good. it was pretty busy in there, but it didn't seem to feel too crowded. We sat at the end of the bar. Was a little awkward with my wife and I both looking into the kitchen instead of at each other. Not very exciting overall but definitely not terrible. read more

First time here with my cousins and this place is amazing! Everything is done through their QR code: drinks, food, and payment. I ordered their chicken carbonara and it was a good amount of food. It was so delicious, packed with flavor, and the noodles were cooked just right. It's flat thin noodles and I think it's homemade. The servers were super nice and nice. Definitely come check them out! read more

PennePazze - Chicken carbonara - Italian Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

I've been to Penne Pazze several times now, and it never disappoints. The food is absolutely amazing, you can truly taste the difference with their pasta being made fresh on site. Everything is cooked perfectly, and the flavors are authentic and delicious every single time. The atmosphere has such a great vibe, it's welcoming, lively, and the kind of place you want to stay and enjoy your meal. What really makes the experience stand out, though, is the service. Chantel is absolutely amazing and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and that guests feel taken care of. It's rare to find a place that nails both incredible food and outstanding hospitality, but Penne Pazze does exactly that. I will definitely be back again soon! read more

All I have to say is, "THANK THE GOOD LORD MURFREESBORO HAS THIS ITALIAN RESTAURANT!!!" The only downside I can find is the restaurant is fairly small so you may have to wait a little. Regardless, it's worth being patient in order to experience good Italian. Parking is easy as it is in a huge plaza. My personal favorite is the Pinsa Pazza Pizza. It's seriously heaven. Paired with a bottle of Chianti and you have a night!! read more

PennePazze - Pinsa Passa Pizza - Italian Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

The food is nice and I didn't mind paying what we did for it -- it's pricey. For that price ($110+ for a family of four and 1 wine glass), I would absolutely expect a full service experience. Maybe I'm becoming old and grumpy, but "Scan this and order for your whole family on the phone, kbye" is a service concept that is simply below the quality of the food and price tag here. Beyond that, the web form just isn't great. Add a comments field for changes/substitutions? I had to get up and find a server to ask about half/half toppings on a pizza. Later I saw the call button, but come on... I hope servers are paid well here; I can see them being undertipped often since they're only really working as food runners. I do hope to try again later... perhaps this can be tweaked. read more

Fast casual dining where you are seated and then you order everything via the QR code, they will bring you a paper menu ("if you insist"). The wait staff was not a 10 on the friendly meter. A bit hard to explain, I feel like that needs to be a must if you are only seating and delivering food. My gnocchi and beet salad were fantastic. The lasagna was not my cup of tea, but the other people I went with loved it (heavy on the meat for me). They also raved about the pizza. I would go back with a different mindset. read more

I found this place on yelp after my daughter said she wanted pasta and I'm so glad we went. I ordered shrimp carbonara pazza and chicken risotto Al funghi. Wow, the flavors were amazing! The pasta in the carbonara is definitely unlike any pasta texture that I've tried. It's thin and light but really good. My daughter absolutely enjoyed it. The server was very nice. The atmosphere was great too. Highly recommend this place to anyone that hasn't been! read more

Freshly made pizza and pasta dish. All orders made thru QR code on your mobile phone. Easy self check out. Not a whole lot of table service. You pretty much self refilling your own drinks. They do deliver your food to the table. The location nice with patio seating. The quality of pizza was good. One order more than enough for one person. read more

We were given a gift card by my parents for our anniversary and finally got a chance to use it. Never been here before. Very casual, order at the counter, your meal is brought to you. Friendly staff person explained the system to us. No bread or anything like that. Arrived at happy hour and therefore Bogo wine and beer, but this location had no beer. Ordered two pasta dishes. Pretty pricey for pasta. Appreciated that the pasta was fresh, however the food was good, not amazing. We both agreed that it was a lot for just a bowl of pasta - albeit a decent serving - and wine. Might try pizza or Panini next time, but not pasta. read more

Absolutely delicious authentic Italian goodness. Restaurant is quaint, cozy with a chill vibe. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I was there with a friend and her 6 year old and my 2 year old.....they were so patient and kind to us. Food, staff and atmosphere is a 10 out of 10! Will definitely be back. read more

Arugula salad was delicious as was the nonna pasta plate. Food was great quality. We had the tiramisu and panna cotta desserts. I am a fan of tiramisu but the vanilla panna cotta was my favorite. The restaurant has a nice outdoor patio option. The service was good. You order your food via a QR code that is linked to your table number. Overall food was excellent and I will definitely return. read more

Quirky spot -- a little Foodie mall -- but great food! Friendly service, sort of serve yourself. Order from the QR code. But, the food? EXCELLENT! The pasta is as fresh as it gets, large portions, served hot! Definitely going to return for more! read more

Amazing food! I'm from an Italian American family and grew up outside Philadelphia. I moved to the nashville area in 2007 and there used to be one or two places in the city that was like home, but this is the ONLY place in the boro that is spot on!!! We looove this place, it's our new favorite and we plan to continue loving it until they close their doors ( hopefully never). So Go get you some AUTHENTIC Italian food at PennePazze! read more

The pesto/burrata pizza was incredible. The vanilla creme soda was delicious. And my server Maddy was delightful. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Went here with my dad and sister. We actually ended up getting two pizzas. We were pleasantly surprised with how filling but fresh the pizza was. The dough was very fresh and tasted homemade. The combination of toppings was also very satisfactory. Slightly pricey, but definitely worth it for the flavor and the causal sit-down vibe. Also service was very friendly. read more

Pizza was awesome!! It's a must try. Kids loved it they rated it an 8/10!!! Pesto was good just needed some protein to balance it out. Cheese was a little potent and a little salty. Carbonara was delicious. Very creamy went great with the chicken. Black cherry soda was on fire!!!! Everything was more like self serve. Servers were nice. Nice spot to take a family or a date night. read more

This is by far the best Italian food I've had in the Boro. I lived in Italy for a year and of course this restaurant is different from the ones I frequented in Italy, this is good stuff. I went during the pre-grand opening and there were two Italian guys training the cooks on ingredients, cooking process, and cooking time. The pasta is delicious and the pizza is as well. Yes, you guessed it; that's what we had. We split the food so I was able to taste both. The restaurant is located in The Fountains. The Fountains is a small conglomerate of restaurants. There is a public parking lot with ample parking. The restaurant has QR codes on the table that leads you to the menu if you prefer that method. You just order what you want and walla, your food will be delivered as ordered. That's how I ordered. I will definitely be dining here again. Oh, our waitress rocked. I wish I remembered her name but... I have included a few pics. read more

My wife and I always recommend people to go to PennePazze. The Pinsa Primavera is a nice switch up from traditional pizza. Their pasta is all good to try (there is something for everyone). Their service is amazing and the ambiance of the restaurant is relaxing. Let's keep great restaurants in Murfreesboro!!! read more

We were passing through and needed Pasta. We found PennePazze after a quick online search. It's tucked away in an upscale multiplex. Sierra welcomed us and explained everything. She was amazing! We are picky about what eat and she was very accommodating. We enjoyed a great vibe while we watched the meals being prepared through the glass. Our entrees arrived hot and delicious with our customizations honored. Both dishes were flavorful, rich and a bit complex. (Maybe some simple options could be added to the menu, hmmm?) There are some unique sodas for those who abstain from you know what. This is a great place to eat, but it is pricey. It was worth it. We were thrilled to discover PennePazze. We're going to look for it again. You should find it soon! read more

Great food! Really great pasta! Service was good. Sat outside and enjoyed the nice fresh air.

Pros: Food was fantastic - best Italian I've had in a while. Staff was great and super nice. Cons: Ordering from a QR code not remotely appealing. The volume in the space was very loud. We couldn't have a conversation with our friends without repeating ourselves. The music left something to be desired. Bottom line: I will definitely order takeout from there but won't eat in. read more

We stumbled upon PennePazze tonight and are so glad we did! We were greeted warmly, the ordering process was explained, and menu suggestions were happily given. The kitchen being an open concept is fantastic - you can see the pastas and pizzas being prepared. Our food came out hot and was AMAZING! My husband is a chef and noted the quality and freshness of all the ingredients. We spoke with the owner as we were leaving. We will be back soon! read more

The service was horrible. We came to celebrate my son's birthday and instead of someone waiting on us and taking our order, we are told to order from the QR code. I'm sorry, but if I'm gonna sit down and spend over $20 for a meal, I would like to be waited on. The waitress acted annoyed. They also charge four dollars for a plastic bottle water from Costco. read more

Overall, it was OK. A different kind of dining experience, a cross between a trendy pop up and regular sit down place. Not low light and cozy like most Italian restaurants I like. This one is definitely going for a post-millennial vibe. The food was OK, what I'd call semi pre prep but appetizing in its way. Menu variety was a bit limited. Customization of your dish through browser interface on my phone was novel, but it does reduce interaction with wait staff, which I found a bit less ambient for my experience than antiseptic. Though I will have to put some of that on the wait staff themselves, as their table side manner was about as lukewarm as the water they served. The bread puffs we ordered as an app were good. And, take this however you want, but the only amazing thing about the experience was the Dyson water faucet/dryer in the bathroom. Overall, trendy, different, but not great. read more

Great food! The pizzas are so unique and delicious, definitely recommend. We ordered a bacon and onion jam pizza and it was amazing. Their craft sodas are equally delicious. read more

Yeahhhhh sorry, I just don't get the hype honestly. Is it bad? Definitely not. I think this is a place a lot of people will love and already love but not for me. I'm a strong believer in pasta dishes do not need to be priced out close so high that it becomes a premium meal especially with no meat on the plate. We ordered two pasta dishes a drink each and our bill was a little over 50 bucks. I'd be willing to give it another shot and try other things in the menu though. read more

All of the folks pointing out their bizarre service are correct. The server tried their best, but they were set up for failure. It's like they're daring you to dine in with their approach. The pasta was good. You can see the toilet from half the dining room. read more

This pizza is delicious!! Fresh ingredients, thin, crunchy crust (just the way I like it!), and pretty fast service. They also have great soda options, too! read more

I got the Pinsa Maiala. I've never had a non American pizza that was so delicious in my entire life. The dude named Evan was cool, Makenna was cool too. They both were really nice and personable. The place played a bunch of cool house music, like like the Adam K & Soha remix of a Kaskade song. Classic. Good tunes. Good food. Great strawberry wine based margarita. A million stars. read more

Wow. The food here is absolutely amazing! The pasta is fresh and soft, cooked to perfection. All the dishes were so flavorful and not too powerful or lacking. They have their own draft soda too, which are also delicious! The only con I would say is the service. You have to either scan the QR code and order or go to the front and order, there isn't really waiters, so you have to constantly ask for things like to go boxes, desserts, extra plates, etc. overall, 10/10, would def. Come back! read more

First visit to Penne Pazze Murfreesboro last night with my daughter, not very busy and Ellie at the register was very nice explaining the various dishes to us. I went with the Ragu & Funghi which is a meat sauce with porcini mushrooms and a splash of cream. My daughter selected the Pinsa Pazza and added the onion jam and for dessert a cannoli filled with Nutella and ricotta. We sat outside and I received a text to go inside and pick up our orders. For me the pasta was just OK...the flavors were very muted and while I love mushrooms the overall flavor of the dish was mushroom. The pasta was al-dente and while the sauce was a red meat sauce with a splash of cream but you really could not discern the flavors. The pizza (Pinsa Pazza) had a nice crust...very crispy and the onion jam with the burrata cheese made for a flavorful combination. The tomato sauce and mozzarella were very mild, you almost did not taste them as a part of the pizza with the other items making the big flavor statement. As for the cannoli...I am not a Nutella fan, but my daughter made it totally disappear and loved it. I ordered a beer but was told they are still only serving wine and some mixed drinks. I did enjoy the Stubborn soda fountain options, they were very refreshing and I loved the citrus hibiscus orange. Overall the folks there were very nice...one of the chefs and Ellie came outside to see how we were doing. I've seen some not like the counter order and pick-up system, did not bother me as it seems efficient. For me I just was just not impressed...I thought the flavors were just OK and it is expensive for what you get. Website: https://pennepazze.net/ read more

Went to PennePazze twice and food was pretty good both times. It is prepared and made fresh to order. You can choose from a handful of standard Pasta dishes and can't go wrong with any of them. The Pizzas are good with a nice crunchy/chewy artisan crust. Haven't had a salad there yet. So food quality is very good but my only negative is the menu is structure where you get Nickel and Dimed. If for example you order a pasta entree $18.00+, a salad $10.00, pizza breadsticks $10.00, and Iced tea $3.00, you will walk out with and after tax bill around $46.00+ "per person" -$$$ Very pricey for the food you get in return. Because of pricing, I give them 3.5 stars But if cost is no concern- a strong 4 stars read more
