“ Super delicious meal recommended by our wonderful server Matt. So so good. Got the pork chops and shrimp scampi and omg I can’t remember the cake we got but absolutely phenomenal. Thank you! ”
“ It’s hard to know where to begin. Laura was amazing. She is the BEST server I have ever had! How this place doesn’t have all 5 stars is beyond me. The food was very well crafted. The atmosphere was inviting and sophisticated, yet also casual at the same time. One thing to note is the portion sizes are on the larger side so I suggest to come hungry. ”
“ Well this year we went for Galentine’s day. This place was so cute. We really loved the atmosphere. We weren’t rushed to leave we had a party of 6 and were seated comfortably. The food was amazing ! Our waitress was so sweet and kind and fun, I really wished I remembered her name. I didn’t even mind the added tip to everyone bill. We will definitely be back. Also the drinks were top notch . ”
“ Needed some good food while staying at the Gaylord Opryland with the kids. Did not disappoint! The meatballs were a hit but the Star was the Pork Chop! Such a unique, tangy, juicy dish. The Shrimp appetizer also had a very nice flavor profile! ”
“ My boyfriend and I came here for my 25th birthday dinner. We had the margarita pizza to start with, we’ve had better but it was good. I had a rigatoni pasta and it was delicious. He had the salmon and he ate everything. They were also sweet enough to give me a chocolate cheesecake for my birthday. Overall, it was a lovely experience. ”
“ It was a nice atmosphere. The waitress we had was so nice and friendly! She charge one of our phones and had no problem with it! The food was beyond delicious! Very good pasta. I would come back here again! ”
“ Ambiance was very nice, great service, and the food was very good. Not the best Italian I've ever had, but that's coming from someone raised in Jersey surrounded by authentic Italian food. The shrimp scampi app was amazing though and so we're the mozzarella sticks. ”
“ Ella's owes us nothing! Matt madr our first time here an experience I won't forget! We celebrated my birthday here and everything from his suggestions to the dessert was so good! The marinara was amazing! And please get the meatballs! We will be back! ”
