    2nd time at Pelato and another great experience. Service is fast and everyone is lovely. Food itself if truly great. Have yet to have a dish I haven’t liked. They recommend 3-4 plates per person. Some dishes are on the heavier side so I would order on the smaller side (3 per) and add from there. Have to admit I thought getting the broccolini would be a mistake but it might be my second favorite dish. Nothing beats their vodka sauce. And as a New Jersey transplant I’ve eaten a lot of vodka sauce.

    We have been to Adele‘s several times. This time we were celebrating two birthdays. The appetizers and main dishes were all excellent. Callouts to the cornbread and smoked duck leg. We all had drinks and the bartenders did a truly professional job as always. The budino dessert is absolutely worth the certain inch it adds to your waist line.  Overall, kudos to Adele‘s for their maintenance of quality through the years. We will definitely be back!

    Such a great experience all around. Can’t recommend enough. We will be going back in a couple of months and cannot wait! Even if this is not your style of cuisine, the experience is worth trying. The food was outstanding. My wife really “does not like” sushi, sashimi, etc. However, she HIGHLY enjoyed 80% of the 14-course omakase. The quality of ingredients really sets this place apart, and provides a great opportunity to really learn about this style of cuisine. The chefs were exceptional, a great balance of social and professional. They were very willing to accommodate both gluten-free and kosher preferences. Also told us about each dish they made as it was being made in front of us. The drinks/cocktails were also great! Top class for Nashville. Great sake and Japanese whiskey selection as well. And the staff was incredible! Took our coats, checked on us regularly, and was an overall pleasure to interact with. We felt really well taken care of. Again, can’t recommend enough.
