The food is Amazing!! The packaging of the food so upscale. So thankful Murfreesboro has a real Italian restaurant. Love Love Love!!!

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

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

PennePazze - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

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

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

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

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

PennePazze - The menu - Italian Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

My first experience was an order to go a couple of days after this location opened. The food was good but I don't recall which pasta dish we ordered. I later visited and dined in the restaurant. Just no there is no table service. You place your order at the counter, then when your order is ready your name is called (and you will receive a text message.) The food is served in plates/bowls and silverware is provided. (Beware! The stand where your dish is placed is heated, so be careful.) There are several tables inside as well as outdoor seating. The pasta dishes we ordered were excellent! We had the AMATRICIANA and NONNA PAULA. On our next visit I plan to try a pinsa and possibly lasagna. read more

This place was underwhelming and pricey. We weren't blown away with anything. We ate our food which was ok but left hungry. The portion sizes are not enough. Will try giving it another chance read more

My family eats here every time we are in town. Everything we have tried is delicious from the pastas to the honey drizzled pepperoni pizza! Service is great as well! read more

Great food! Pizza was delicious and so were the gnocchi and gluten free pasta dishes. The service was definitely not was you should expect for a $100 lunch for 3 adults with no alcohol. The ordering app malfunctioned and ordered an extra pizza instead of the gnocchi dish I specifically asked about. When she brought our order and I told her it was incorrect, she gave no apologies, seemed a bit annoyed and asked if I still wanted the dish I had asked for originally. Again, no apologies and no money off for the extra order. Very disappointing service overall, so glad the food was good. Great restaurant for take out, but skip eating in! read more

Food is really good as are the portions. Kind of tight for seating and most of their tables are 6 person high tops unless you sit at kitchen bar. What keeps me from 5 stars is this self service garbage. You have to scan QRL code to get menu and order. Drink refills are self service. When the bill comes expect to see 18-20% gratuity suggested which is ridiculous since the servers dont do anything other than seat you and drop your food off. I really hate that concept because it takes away from a dine in experience. Next time I will just do take out. Finally, they skimp on their sandwiches which really stinks! You had to pay to "add" everything unless you are happy with a single slice of meat on your sandwich. It's really unnecessary, especially when the starting price is like $18. read more

Came here on a Friday night and got a table with no wait. The space was immaculately clean and well maintained. It had a much nicer ambiance than your average fast casual chain. I've seen some people complaining about the QR code ordering but personally I loved it. You want something and you can just enter it in the app and it shows up at your table. We tried the pinsa pazza and the Nonna Paula both of which were very good. Really enjoyed the stubborn brand draft soda, the pineapple cream soda was delicious. read more

The most authentic and amazing Italian food we have had here in the states. After traveling to Italy, it's so hard to find good food that is even a FRACTION of what we experienced in Italy- THIS PLACE TAKES THE CAKE. This food is so authentically Italian. They also have authentic Italian wine- all bottles are so moderately priced! Make sure you get then tiramisu- it's to die for. We have tried pastas, pinsas, and the paninis.. and I seriously can't tell you which one is my favorite. They are all too good. David, one of the managers here is so attentive and kind. There is such great service here. It's very progressive in their ordering too. All done on an app. It's a small place, but so cozy- just like the places in Italy! read more

PennePazze - Best place for our Italian family - Italian Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

We eat here every time we visit our son at MTSU. I have dreams about their honey pepperoni pizza. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Their pasta is as good or better than anything in Rome. Just the best. read more

PennePazze - Nonna Paula and pepperoni pizza - Italian Near Me - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Lasagna was amazing! The servers were very attentive to us. I would also recommend the pizza! Overall 10/10, good food, even better people.

House made pasta. Ambience and staff are great. Food was incredible. Stop by when you can. You wont regret it.

Could be a lot better. Went in on a Sunday night. I was underwhelmed based on the reviews. We got 3 pizzas (plain cheese and 2 pepperoni ($20 each), 2 margaritas, breadsticks w/marinara and a tip. The total was $115. I've been to a lot of places with better service and food for a lot less. The pizza was good, but lots of places have good pizza. There are no wait staff, you order via your phone and a QR code on the table. So we tip for someone who gives us water and brings our food out? I did tip, but felt like I should have gotten more service for the tip. No beer. Margaritas are "wine" based. The marinara with the breadsticks was cold. Your mileage may vary. We didn't try any pasta and that may have raised the review, but it would have to be amazing pasta to get another star. Won't go back again. read more

I finally checked out the new Italian place at the Fountains in the Boro, PennePazze. Overall, I really liked it! You order at the counter and then they call you when your food is ready. They make all of their dough and pasta in house. The staff was super attentive and friendly. My husband and I split the pancetta carbonara, which was the pasta of the day, and the honey pepperoni pinsa, and for a drink I tried the vanilla cream soda. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. I want to go back and try everything on the menu ASAP. read more

Do not recommend. Firstly, they tell you to grab a table and use a QR code not only for the menu, but you have to order through your phone and give your personal info?? Terrible customer experience - and why? The servers bring out your food and bus the tables still...the only possible savings to the restaurant are to avoid talking with the customers. We were a group of four executives fumbling with our phones trying to figure out how and what to order...it was just stupid. For my meal, I ordered the mushroom pizza - sounded awesome and looked great in the picture. What I got was a greasy mess with way too much cheese and truffle oil, and instead of mushrooms was a runny brown mushroom sauce. I could have eaten most of it with a spoon had I cared to. I took one bite and skipped it...nibbled off of others plates instead. When they came to bus the dishes they asked if I wanted a box. After explaining my dissatisfaction they offered to make another pizza (coworkers all finished eating already). I declined, and she simply apologized and walked away. No offer to take it off the bill or anything. We work in this building complex and eat regularly at these restaurants. This was the first time here for any of us, and I doubt anyone from our entire office will ever eat here again. There are so many better restaurants that also appreciate their customers - novel concept. read more

Having heard rave reviews on this restaurant, I decided to try it. My husband and I just returned from Italy a few weeks ago. Missing the great food, we thought this would be a decent replacement. We were wrong. I was initially put off by the paper cups they brought to us, along with a carafe of odd-tasting water. As I've read the other reviews here, I see that PP has evolved to now include the choice of a paper menu, which we accepted. Our server gets an A for personally, but not for service. I didn't time how long we waited for initial service, but it was not under 15 minutes. And another 20 to get our order. They were out of any meatball options for the paninis. We asked a server walking by what the panini was that she delivered to another table. "No idea" she said. "I just started last week". That's not her fault; that's management's fault-she obviously hadn't been trained on their small menu selection. We ate outside; that was pleasant. If you're looking for ambience however,, it's not here. One review said it reminded then of a restaurant in Italy; trust me, that's a huge stretch as it doesn't even come close. I ordered a strawberry margarita that was oddly served in a non-traditional wine glass. The margarita was good. My entree was the Amatriciana; my husband ordered the Panini Porchetto e mayo. The pasta in my order was cooked perfectly; I added chicken. The dish was warm, not hot, making me wonder if the base had been made in advance, adding whatever a customer requested. The tomato sauce was definitely canned. The panini bread tasted homemade, but was burnt around the edges. The flavor was good. The food was ok. My complaint is them trying to come off as a true Italian restaurant-the only way they come across with that is their prices, very high for sub-par Italian fast food. Our meal with drinks, no salads, bread or desserts came to a whopping $75. I've been here twice-my first and my last time. read more

Deliziosa! My husband and I came here tonight with my dad and his fiancé and it was so tasty. The staff was really nice and accommodating and the food came in such great portions that it's totally worth the price. I got the ragu & funghi and I would definitely get it again. We'll be back! read more

I went here last night with some friends, and we were literally blown away by how great everything was. The pizzas were nicely sized fresh and delicious. The pasta was homemade soft and tasty when mixed with their miscellaneous sauces. Really really impressed with this place. The big negative is the price. Everything is $20 minimum, which makes it a bit tough to do with a family, etc. Although I just left this amazing review I really don't know when I will return because it's out of budget for a normal night out, or delivery, etc. Definitely give it a try on a special occasion, etc.. read more

Outstanding pasta dishes. Clean atmosphere. Really good wine-based margaritas. I'm not a huge fan of their ordering system- use a QR code to order (must pay before submitting your order, which feels a bit like fast food), as, if you order more than one round of drinks, dessert, coffee, etc. after your meal you spend a decent amount of time submitting orders and paying over and over. read more

My wife and I cannot stop raving about this place. The food tastes authentic! Literally feels like eating in a hole in the wall small family owned restaurant in Italy! Above all the service is spectacular! The staff and the owners make you feel at home every time we step foot in the establishment. Thank you for making the boro one of your homes.

Wait is ridiculous and pizza came out wrong three times. They gave a few free pieces of bread to apologize

We walked in and stood around with other people also standing next to us. Finally, someone asked how many are in are group. We had 6. They told us they couldn't give us a time because they had two large reservations coming in. You don't have it anywhere on your website suggesting a reservation. To be told they can't give us a time is ridiculous. Why would you take reservations if you can't be open for the public? read more

We love Penne Pazze! Their pasta is delicious and we love their pizza. Service is always excellent and the food always comes out hot. The restaurant is clean and very inviting. read more

The pasta was good. The pizza was so /so the service was WHAT????? No one knew what to do, except make pre measured food and pour wine by the scale. The host did not know how to open the bottle of wine. And asked our party to open a couple of different bottles to help out. The food came out in no real order. And it was not hot. Prices were high compared to what we got. Not thinking that this will be a place we visit regularly. When I review a restaurant or venue I always go in thinking "I hope this will be excellent! " Hoping for the best! Dining out with kids can be a challenge sometimes, so we try to pick fun environments and new locations. My hope with each review is to tell management how things really were on the date we visited. We are willing to pay for a good meal and love writing good reviews! With the rising prices I dislike spending time, energy and money to get subpar service, dealing with someone else's employees who don't want to work, and then paying top dollar for marginal food read more
