    We had a wonderful evening at Pelato. The food is incredible and the service was great. The restaurant however gets extremely loud when full. We had 6 guests at our table and had difficulty maintaining a conversation. I’d say it’s a great place for a couple, but will avoid for larger parties in the future.

    We couldn't attend our reservation because my wife was feeling under the weather, but our friends had already hired a sitter and still wanted to go out. So, I called and spoke with a very kind and helpful team member at the restaurant who said it would be no problem and they would love to host our friends as a party of 2. I texted my friend the next day and he said it was the best Italian food he's ever had. I hope to go soon to experience it for myself, but most importantly, I appreciate the staff being flexible in light of the situation.

    An awesome experience, the food was incredible. Definitely try the cauliflower piccata and the potato croquettes. My husband thought the Cacio Pepe was the best he ever had. The rainbow cookies and cappuccino were absolutely perfect. Shoutout to Cayli for being so attentive and communicative - I do have to say the entire team was amazing. They have so many people serving plates because they come up so fast and they are served tapas style. Completely impressed!

    Hey Taylor, Wow, what a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an awesome experience with us.

    This place was packed and I read so many reviews online about going here. It was nothing special. It’s a fun idea to do Italian in a tapas style. The best things on the menu that we had was the spinach and the potato croquettes. But after a full week of eating out in Nashville, this would not even make top 5. Average flavors and some food had no flavor.

    Thanks for the feedback, Madison. We're sorry to hear that your experience at Pelato didn't meet your expectations. We're glad you enjoyed our Creamy Parm'd Spinach and Potato Croquettes. We appreciate your honesty and hope you'll give us another chance to impress you. -Kayla Ricaud Pelato Restaurant Manager

    Felt very rushed. For the amount we spent, I wish I had gone elsewhere where I could have relaxed more and enjoyed the evening and had a little more space from my table neighbors.
    PelatoResponded 2 days ago
    Hi Ruth, I am sorry to hear that you felt rushed during your visit with us, and it is definitely not an experience we intend our guests to have. I also understand that you can feel a bit close to your table neighbors next to you and that can be overwhelming to some. We hope that next time we can hit the mark for you! All the best, Kayla Ricaud- Pelato Restaurant Manager

    Always a delicious meal here! Frozen espresso martini was excellent. Towsend was a very attentive server, checking on us constantly- as did other members of the staff! And the ice cream sandwiches for dessert NEED to be permanently on the menu.
    PelatoResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your meal – the Frozen Espresso Martini is definitely a crowd favorite! Townsend and the rest of the team will be so happy to hear they made your experience extra special. And we completely agree about the Italian Gelato Sandwiches – such a hit! Can’t wait to see you again soon! -Kayla Ricaud, Pelato Restaurant Manager
