    My husband and I are from Jersey, near Hoboken. Where Sinatra is from. We love him. So of course when we heard there was going to be a restaurant dedicated to ‘OLE BLUE EYEs, we were very excited. It has been opened about two years and we have been there several times. We frequent many other restaurants owned by the owner of Sinatra’a, i.e. Skull’s, House of Cards, Cash’a, etc, so we knew it would be awesome I must tell you, this restaurant is one of the best dining experiences in Nashville. From the manager Paige, to the Head of reservations Heather, they can’t be friendlier, more knowledgeable or more accommodating. They always make me feel special. Our favorite waiter, Mark is wonderful. Always making suggestions and knows the menu like no other. The food is amazing. Starting with the pear burrata, then the zucchini fries, the melon and prosciutto, any of the salads, ciopino over linguini, just an amazing experience. I highly recommend.

    Food quality was absolutely incredible and the service was just as incredible! However, the kindness and hospitality from both Jay, our server, and Chef Charles was truly the best part of our dining experience. I just sold my 3 restaurants near the Gators football stadium so I am definitely am very picky yet both Jay and Charles completely blew me, my wife and 4 kids away! No trip to Nashville is complete unless you visit Ella’s by Chef Christian Petroni especially due to Chef Charles and if you are lucky enough to get Jay as your server!

    We were there for Christmas Day Dinner, and it was fabulous. There were 7, 5 adults, 1 teenager, and 1 youth. We had family members with food allergies, and their situations were handled perfectly. Based on our experience there is no doubt we would go back and strongly encourage others to enjoy this restaurant.
