About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Fancy
Voted the No. 1 Restaurant in the U.S. by Food + Wine readers, Yolan is an authentic experience of Italian cuisine done right, located at The Joseph Nashville. A true love letter to Italy, Yolan pays homage to the Pizzuti family's heritage and Joseph's wife, Yolanda.

Perfect for dining family style, the a la carte menu features signature dishes paired with seasonal highlights, complemented by breads and dolci by our talented pastry team.

Nashville's only Forbes Travel Guide Star Award restaurant and recipient of Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, Yolan features an extensive wine list of Italian varietals and producers, as well as world-renowned regions and makers.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Nashville’s only Forbes Star Award-winning restaurant, Yolan goes all-in on Italian fine dining—think exquisite pastas, a 55-day dry-aged strip steak, and white truffle supplements. Exceptional service, a standout Italian-leaning wine list, and stellar desserts from pastry chef and 2023 James Beard semifinalist Noelle Marchetti make this swanky spot inside The Joseph Nashville hotel the ultimate dining destination.

    We enjoyed ourselves very much. However, we hadn’t even finished our cocktails before the food started showing up. And then it was one thing after another. We had salad we had appetizers. We had bread and we hadn’t even finished our cocktails yet. We felt rushed. We really wanted to enjoy the meal, but we felt pressured to eat and leave. However, we did enjoy talking to Delphine. That was the highlight of our meal.

    We arrived early for our reservation so we could have a cocktail before dinner. They offered to seat us early but we opted to go to the bar until our reservation time and they were fine with that. Our server, Shelly, was very attentive and made great recommendations. Our food was delicious; we loved everything we ordered.

    We should have stopped after the focaccia bread and salad. What happened next was an exercise in waiting, then finally receiving lukewarm food, followed by genuine apologies from our waiter and restaurant manager who offered to re-do the pasta and broccolini (we turned down the offer for another steak dish because it would take too long — 35 min for steak?). All this to then be served new dishes that were only moderately warmer then before. Clearly there are issues with the kitchen, or timing of when the dishes are done and when they are delivered, really not sure where the problem lies. Not a good experience.
    YolanResponded on May 11, 2025
    Hello Shane, We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Yolan. We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we regret that we missed the mark this time. We understand that you were disappointed with the pasta and broccolini and that you felt the food was not up to standard. We're also sorry for the delay in your steak dish and the subsequent delay in your salad and bread. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we assure you that we'll address these issues internally to prevent such issues in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it up to you. Best regards, The Management Team

    I can’t believe how much exchange since the last time I was there two years ago. The service was beyond terrible. I literally had to get up from my table 3 times to find a server. Upon spending $3500 on a table for six I would’ve expected at least some attention from the staff.
    YolanResponded on May 11, 2025
    Thanks for the review, Deb. We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Yolan. It's disheartening to hear that our service didn't meet your expectations, especially considering the cost of your table. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our service. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the quality service you deserve. Best regards, The Management Team
