(This is coming from a salad loving girl, that would never order this) A friend shared a bite and it's literally THE BEST!

The honey goat cheese was especially amazing. Not pretentious at all, just authentically good. Although it's a strip-mall space the design was comfortable and elegant.

We're also planning on trying their happy hour menu served 3-6 pm M-F.

Honestly, it was super delicious and the staffs were very friendly. The lady at the register explained how to order and what's on their menu. I ordered their grilled chicken creamy scampi fettuccine and my SIL got the grilled chicken alfredo fettuccine. Both pastas were filled with sauces. Love that! Please check them out! - Grilled chicken creamy scampi fettuccine: Cream lemon garlic butter sauce with tomatoes and chicken (choice of chicken- grilled or blackened pepper chicken). Packed with flavor and highly recommend this dish. - Grilled chicken Alfredo fettuccine: Parmesan garlic cream sauce with chicken (choice of chicken- grilled or blackened pepper chicken). Honestly, I would recommend the blackened pepper chicken instead of the grill because the sauce is not as seasoned/flavorful compared to the creamy scampi. It is still good, don't get me wrong.

It may look like a hole-in-the-wall, but don't underestimate this Italian spot off 96! We usually…read moreorder pickup and go; they do have a few dine-in seats, but the atmosphere isn't really the draw here. Our go-to is their Ivan Ala Vodka pasta with penne noodles and blackened chicken. The fettuccine alfredo and Cajun pastas are also excellent as all the sauces are fire. Portions are generous, prices are super reasonable, and the staff is always friendly. Truly the best bang-for-your-buck spot in the area when you need to satisfy those pasta cravings. They're locally family-owned, so we love supporting them, been around since 2014 and quite a story/legacy. FYI - on our most recently visit - we called in, stated 20 mins but it took 30 before the food was ready to go, so this may help timing your pick ups.

I was pleasantly surprised by the salad that comes with the crab cake- I was not expecting to enjoy it so much! A nice wine selection, with some interesting Greek wines. The early bird special can't be beat, and a nice happy hour too!

Still one of our favorite places for an early after work occasional dinner. Just updating my notes…read moreto reflect what's working for them and what's not. Wife says the lavender lemon drop was a hard pass, but ordering instead a standard lemon drop, she loved it. It was especially nice that it came with a sidecar on ice to refill her glass with cold lemony goodness. Wife also didn't particularly care for the chicken marsala, commenting that the sauce was thin and lacking flavor. It is worth noting though that if you want the marsala and are ordering before 6pm, the happy hour priced version is one breast instead of two, and still a generous dinner sized portion. I was excited to try the new hot chicken pizza, and was disappointed. The heat level was good, not knock your socks off hot, but a decent bit of heat. Unfortunately the chicken was dry; the chunks of breast meat overcook on the pizza, it would be much better if they'd use thighs or even chop up one of the fried tenders they put on the hot alfredo. The crust, very thin, was crunchy on the outside, but raw underneath. Despite these disappointments, Amerigo remains on our after work short list, it's a warm, friendly and pleasant space, though we're much more likely to stick with the bolognese and spaghetti on our next visit.

Noodles and Company is located on Meridian Boulevard amongst hotels, apartments and a few other…read moreeateries and shops in Franklin. If you are unfamiliar with this chain, think Chipotle for pasta, but it is not made in front of you. They have a bit of prepared pastas, but you can also create your own. Noodles and Company is a quick serve spot that serves purpose when the regular rotation of week night dinners runs a bit stale. The location itself needs some TLC as it is worn from ripped and torn seating, cabinet doors falling off of the drink station, stained ceiling tiles and dirty floors. The place needs some conditional love. Cleanliness was decent throughout with the exception of filthy entry windows and doors. Food wise I went with the Pesto Cavatappi and a side of garlic bread to go. Portions could be a bit larger, but that is why I added the garlic cheese bread. Pasta's are priced as is then there is an additional charge for protein. Your average pasta with protein will run you around $12. I enjoyed the pesto pasta and the chicken was lightly breaded and portioned well for the pasta. The garlic bread was a bit soggy and the cheese came off with one bite, and not in the cool "cheese pull" kind of way. Service was "meh". They were on their phones watching videos loudly while customers waited to be noticed at the counter. Overall, Noodles and Company is just okay. Definitely has potential to be added to a quick and easy weeknight dinner rotation, but they need to make a few adjustments.

From the moment you walk in, North Italia hits you with an upbeat, lively vibe. It's clearly a…read morepopular spot--there were several people waiting for tables--so reservations are highly recommended. We went early and snagged seats at the bar to kick things off with cocktails, which turned out to be a great move. The bar staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel welcoming right away. I started with an Old Fashioned made with Sazerac Rye--excellent. Smooth, well-balanced. In the summer months, the outdoor seating is a great option too. Once seated at our table, we dove into appetizers. There were four of us, so sharing was the name of the game. The White Truffle Garlic Bread was a standout--warm, aromatic, and downright addictive. We also ordered the Italian Meatballs (two per order), so naturally we got two orders. Big flavor, perfectly cooked, and definitely worth it. Add in the Wild Shrimp Scampi and the Calamari--both cooked just right--and we were off to a strong start. For my entrée, I went with the Ricotta Cavatelli. It was rich and comforting with just a subtle hint of lemon. I usually lean toward spicy dishes, so this was a departure for me, but as a crab lover, I really enjoyed it. That said, if you're looking for heat, this isn't the dish for you. We also had the Sunday Night Lasagna...on a Wednesday. Rules are meant to be broken. It was hearty, flavorful, and absolutely delivered. Dessert was a must--and North Italia did not disappoint. The Tiramisu is non-negotiable. The Salted Caramel Budino was so good. The Hazelnut Torta? Fantastic. And the Salted Caramel Gelato--just get it. Trust me. Last but definitely not least, our server Matt was amazing. Great personality, attentive without hovering, and really added to an already excellent experience. North Italia delivers great food, a fun atmosphere, and top-notch service. A place I'd happily return to again and again.

Our server was great but the management really needs to get servers better aprons. I looked around and most servers had holes in their waist aprons and they were really dirty. Also one of the dishes was so hot, the server was covering her hand with her sleeve to place the dish on the table?! It was odd that her sleeve was inside our dish bowl - very odd. The food itself - was okay. We had the Shrimp Scampi and Beef Carpaccio which was good. Arugula and Avocado salad was nice. We had the Ricotta Cavatelli dish with shrimp and crab, it was tasty. Drink wise, had the Neapolitan. Love dirty martinis and thought it would be similar - nope, it was okay. All in all, it was a decent meal but for the price it was just okay. Also be prepared that flies love to come in when they open up the large door for the patio.

We went on a Friday after work and it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly, service was excellent from start to finish, and everything came out fast. The ambiance is relaxed: we sat in a comfortable booth in the bar area with a clear view of the TVs for sports, which was a nice touch. Drinks were a highlight. The blood orange margarita and Italian Old Fashioned were both fantastic and definitely worth ordering again. The espresso martini, however, didn't quite hit the mark. For food, the shrimp focaccia bites were the standout in terms of flavor. The lasagna dip was the best value as it's super filling and still really tasty. The wings were a miss for us, they lacked flavor and the meat tasted a bit old. We also enjoyed the spinach arancini bites, but the tomato sauce was a little too oily. I'd recommend asking for ranch instead. Overall, a great Happy Hour spot and we'd definitely come back, just a bit more selective with what we order next time.
