   The food at Pelato was great—creative, flavorful small plates that really delivered. The kitchen clearly knows what it’s doing, and if we were rating on food alone, it would be an easy recommendation. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the quality of the food. Our server was slow and inattentive, and when she asked how things were going, it felt like she was just going through the motions—no real interest or engagement. We had to remind her about one of our drinks, and the birthday gesture (a sparkler stuck in a napkin) felt lazy and impersonal. With so many restaurants in the city offering both amazing food and warm, attentive service, Pelato just didn’t leave a strong impression. We walked away disappointed, and wouldn’t go back based on the service alone.

   Pelato is our favorite Nashville restaurant. The service is always excellent and the food, well the food is absolutely delicious. We love the small plates/sharing concept because it allows us to you to try so many wonderful menu items. Don’t skip the cauliflower piccata. It is so good.

   Everytime we go to Pelato the food and dining experience is always amazing. Our server was attentive and very sweet, with great recommendations for the table. The drinks were strong and delicious and the food & desserts were next level. We had a group of 7 people and ordered around 15 dishes, it was the perfect amount of food! We cannot wait to come back.

   Oh Brian! Them's fighting words! Our Vodka sauce has been called a number of things... "epic" "orgasmic" "life changing".... but "pedestrian"?!? Any time you want, you bring your Vodka sauce into our kitchen to go toe to toe with Chef Vic and we'll see who's got the "hyper." - mic drop - Pelato OUT!

   Simply fantasic experience, food was just great, we all shared several dishes. Calamari was perfect, tender and tasty. The plates we had were all great. Our server Blayne was attentive and pleasant, made great suggestions on food and wine. The setting is casual, but you wont be out of place dressed up. My wife loved the frozen espresso martini. Next time were in town, will stop again.

   What a wonderful restaurant! We were thrilled to know there are two Anthony Scotto restaurants in Nashville. The family dined at Pelato to celebrate my husband's birthday. Everything was delicious. I wasn't leaving until I had the meatballs and they (along with dessert) were wonderful ways to end the evening.
