What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"We went here for a birthday dinner. Had to wait 45 mins for a bar seating. The tables were so close together that actually knocked glasses off a table when I took off my coat. I found the food to be bland. The sweet potato salad had -0- flavor. I had to salt it to bring taste to it. My husband’s mussel appetizer was amazing but the steak was like the salad, no flavor. The birthday was mentioned to the bartender/waiter as a celebration of the event, he brought out the tiramisu and still charged for the birthday dessert after we spent $300 on the dinner. I won’t be back. This was the only bad experience we had on our visit to Franklin."
"Bradly the manager was the absolute best and Charlie our waiter was friendly and attentive. We had a great visit and definitely plan on returning. Italian can be difficult to navigate with my gluten free mother but they knew exactly how to help her. We appreciated that so much."
"Food is made fresh daily! Absolutely loved the Campanelle, the pork shank was delicious! We really enjoyed the asparagus fritters. The tiramisu came highly recommended by Charlie our server but was 86'd, we went with the pumpkin budino which was fabulous!!"
"If you are Gluten Free.. you need to RUN to this restaurant. They serve by far the BEST GF pasta in the area. I have tried so many italian restaurants in Middle tennessee and the flavor and texture of the noodles were perfect. So tasty. I specifically got the Campanelle and oh my! So delicious. They also have an amazing flourless chocolate cake that is divine. Usually when I've ordered flourless cakes in the past, they're SO rich. I can maybe have two bites. This cake? I devoured by myself. Perfection. Also, we ordered their special fall old fashioned but unfortunately only had enough to make one instead of three.. well they came up with a special old fashioned for two of us and wow was it good! I highly recommend this place! Everyone is so friendly too!"
"Went for lunch & overall a solid experience. Drinks were fabulous. Calamari was delicious - loved the fried lemon slices in the dish. It was a nice surprise. Pasta left something to be desired. Noodles were very thick and slightly under, and there was a lot of salt - probably from the peccorino. Could've used a squeeze of lemon to brighten it up. Risotto needed salt and less time in the pot, texture was almost too soft. Dessert was delicious- raspberry paired really nicely with the chocolate. It was on the dense side but wasn't too sweet. Great balance. Overall, great experience. Wait staff were very attentive and helpful. Looking forward to coming back."
"We were looking for a late breakfast and bumped into McGavock's on our way to a different restaurant. We never paid it much attention prior as we kind of..."
