Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Belle Meade

I have had the absolute pleasure of dining at DeLuca Italian Restaurant on multiple occasions, and each visit reaffirms that this is a true gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine. The passion, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that go into every dish are unparalleled. What baffles me, however, is the audacity of some diners who seem to completely miss the mark when leaving negative comments. If you're seeking a cheap, cookie-cutter dining experience akin to a chain restaurant, this is not the place for you. DeLuca is for those who value the artistry of food, the finesse of exceptional service, and the warm embrace of a thoughtfully curated ambiance. The menu is a testament to authentic Italian culinary traditions with a modern twist. From the perfectly al dente pasta to the exquisite sauces bursting with flavor, every bite is a reminder of what dining should truly be. The wine selection? Superb. The desserts? Divine. To those leaving subpar reviews: perhaps consider that you’re not paying for mere sustenance here; you’re investing in an experience. If that’s not what you’re looking for, then maybe a fast-casual chain is more your speed. For those who do appreciate the finer things, DeLuca is an unforgettable experience, worth every penny and more. Bravo to the team for their unwavering commitment to excellence!

City House never, ever disappoints. The food is always spectacular and the service warm and efficient. A solid 5 star expereince.

Outstanding Service by Blake from start to finish. We sat at the rail and enjoyed talking with Chef Mike (a real human with passion for food). And, the food was amazing. Every bit was full on flavor, perfectly seasoned. Everything was fabulous and the corn and sweet potato really were stand outs! Thank you. We will return!

Everything was great. A little chilly sitting by the windows on the lower level.

The service and cuisine were stellar all around, very attentive and professional waitress to all of needs
