    Went for our anniversary. This place is owned by Christian Petroni, I’m a big fan and was excited about eating at his establishment. It’s actually in the Hyatt Centric in Nashville. We arrived early for our reservation, check in with hostess. When the table was ready, our server, Matt greeted us and wished us a happy anniversary. He highlighted some of the favorites on the menu. We ordered the mozzarella cheese sticks and prosciutto de Parma as appetizers. Both were absolutely delicious. I ordered chicken parmigiana for an entree and my wife ordered the fusilli ala vodka as her entree. The 8 hour sauce is sooo good. Best sauce I’ve ever had. The fusilli was delicious as well. Matt was such a good waiter. Attentive and not pushy. I will ask to sit in his section tomorrow for lunch. Several things on the menu still to try. Christian Petroni should be happy how well his employees represent him. All of the employees said he visits frequently and is extremely kind to everyone. This will be our new “go to” place in Nashville.

    Our waiter was attentive. The food was very salty, vegetables over charred, and cold. Overpriced. Tax on bill was excessive.

    My wife and I had a terrific experience dining at Ella’s. We were lured here by the Petroni name. We had a fabulous meal. I had a the pasta with vodka sauce, and at the recommendation of the waiter added a chicken cutlet. Was delicious. My wife had the butter sage ravioli and she also described her meal as being next level. The service was fantastic. Highly recommend.

    Can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience at Ella’s! The food was outstanding. Mozarella sticks were unlike any I’ve ever had! We also had the margarita pizza and fusilli a la vodka pasta. All wonderful! Our server, Jay, was one of the best parts of our experience. He treated us like royalty, was so attentive, not over-bearing, knowledge, and genuine! He even treated us to a complimentary dessert! We are so glad we chose to give Ella’s a try and it will now certainly be somewhere we frequent! And hope we have Jay each time!
