For dessert, best tiramisu in Nashville. We regard Antonio's as an overlooked gem on the Nashville restaurant scene. Overshadowed by Mario's, the city's premier Italian restaurant, and too far out to be convenient for the Downtown-Vanderbilt crowd, Antonio's offers an upscale Italian dining experience. Food is consistently well-prepared with fresh ingredients. There's a broad variety of pasta and meat dishes.
Wine list is extensive.
Pricey but worth it. This award-winning microbrewery also serves good food, including chicken, pork chops, sandwiches and pasta. Great place for the beer fan. The original Calhoun's in Knoxville won a contest for the World's Best Ribs a few years ago. We won't argue.
