"My wife and I had an outstanding experience at Pelato in Nashville. The food was excellent, but the real highlight of the night was our server, Stef. We travel often and have dined at multiple Michelin-star restaurants around the world, so we truly understand world-class dining and service. Stef went above and beyond explaining the menu, guiding us through the small plates, and making thoughtful recommendations. She was professional, personable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. I truly hope more servers take her professional approach — she sets the standard. Now to the food: The broccolini was phenomenal — her recommendation — and even though I was hesitant at first, it ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. The gnocchi was outstanding and reminded me of a hearty, traditional Nonna-style recipe. The calamari was very good, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The zucchini strings were good on its own, but with the lemon as recommended it was taken to another level. The chicken parmigiana was also delicious — classic and well executed. We ended the night with the tiramisu, which was the perfect end to the evening. Great atmosphere, great small plates, and an overall excellent dining experience. But above all, Stef’s service made the night unforgettable. Highly recommend Pelato."

"Let me start by saying this is the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever been to in my 54 years. We came here for our 34th anniversary. They have the most customer service oriented restaurant I’ve ever seen. Ethan who served us at the bar knew the menu inside side and out including all the gluten free items that were available. By the time we were seated since we got there early for our reservation at 830 we knew exactly what we wanted due to Ethan’s descriptions. Ethan served me the best sangria I’ve ever had. It has brandy in it! They seated us 8 mins early and Jonathan our server was also top notch and made our night the very best. We ended up making friends with the couple next to us who also shared one of there items with us! Nicole from Philly and Tom from Jersey, if you’re reading this, thanks for making our anniversary the best ever! Two managers came by and checked on us. They did not rush us at all considering we had an 830 reservation for 9 pm closing. Carbonara radiatori Stuffed mushrooms. Panelle, potato croquettes prosciutto plate (to die for !!! best I’ve ever had ) were all UHMAZING We will be back over and over again. I promise this!!"

"We had an incredible dinner here and loved every bite. The Radiatori Vodka was rich, creamy, and had just the right amount of Calabrian chili heat — absolute comfort food perfection. The Bucatini Cacio e Pepe was simple but flawless, with perfectly al dente pasta and that authentic balance of pecorino and black pepper that’s hard to find outside Italy. And the Baked Stuffed Shells were warm, cheesy heaven. The ricotta and mozzarella melted together beautifully with a touch of parmigiano that tied it all together. On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was spot-on friendly, attentive, and genuine. You can tell the kitchen cares about quality and detail. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves great pasta and a relaxed, elevated dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!"

"This place is truly spectacular. We visited it today for the first time to celebrate my birthday. The service is incredible, as are all the dishes, desserts, and drinks. We would definitely come back and recommend it so you can enjoy an explosion of flavors on your palate. By the way, my English is very bad, and the waiter did an excellent job making sure communication was perfect."

"I love Luogo, so I had high hopes for Pelato, and, well, I was blown away lol! When my mom and I first walked in, we immediately fell in love with the warm, homey atmosphere. The service was amazing, and our food came out quickly and hot (I burned my mouth, that’s how hot it was). We shared the broccolini, carbonara, and shrimp limone, and each dish was delicious. My mom isn’t a vegetable person, but she loved that broccolini. The carbonara was creamy and had a nice smoky flavor from the pancetta. The limone was perfectly cooked, and the lemon wasn’t overpowering. It complimented the pasta amazingly. We can’t wait to come back and try more!"
