   We did the family dining menu and everything was delicious. In addition, there was plenty of food.

   This was worse than mall food. Our appetizer was a bowl with a ball of fresh mozzarella some random chunks of Parmesan cheese and a pile of prosciutto with some less than saltine cracker fresh and tasteless flat bread. We had to cut the mozzarella and crush the Parmesan with our hands to put together something resembling an appetizer not even good then. My spaghetti and meatballs… the sauce was so salty I couldn’t eat it literally did not eat it past a couple of bites trying. The meatballs tasted like spoiled meat to me but my family said it was just bad spices and I didn’t get sick so I guess they were right. My granddaughters vodka pasta was not done it crunched when you chewed it. The atmosphere was like a deli no ambience AT ALL! The menu is incomplete and the prices ridiculous. Fazoli’s has better food and lighting. Don’t do it.

   The restaurant was almost empty, and we were seated next to another table at a smaller table. The pizza was bland. The salads were under salted and flavorless. Pasta sauces had a bitter aftertaste. Meatballs were dry and tasteless.

   We went to Ella’s Christmas buffet event. While there were several dishes that we enjoyed and our waiter was very nice, the overall experience lacked in several areas. We made a 7:30pm reservation, not knowing that the buffet was scheduled to end around 8pm. When we got there, part of the dishes served were all finished and while they seemingly tried to replenish some, the new potatoes gratin they brought were really undercooked (almost raw, to the point where they could not be consumed). The bread pudding was all done and they didn’t bother bringing extra. The menu featured tiramisu for desert but there was none (they had cheesecake instead). Around 8pm they started clearing out the buffet dishes which was very awkward for us given we had only been there for 30’. Overall not a great experience which was particularly disappointing given the Christmas day dining.

   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!

   Had the Christmas dinner buffet. The restaurant was simple and elegant. Had just enough food options. Tried a little bit of everything. Our server was great and everything was delicious! A wonderful Christmas dinner.

   Our desire was to have a special Christmas Eve dinner in Nashville. Ella’s did not let us down. Our waiter was great and we had the best salmon piccata ever! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend Ella’s by Christian Petroni.

   Fantastic food and service. The atmosphere does not fit the food at all. Shame, it may effect its longevity.
