Best Italian Restaurants in Belle Meade

Jack was our server. He was wonderful. All of his recommendations were perfect

The food was as expected delicious. We split the Shrimp Scampi and Burrata with poach pear for appetizers. I had the roasted salmon - awesome and my husband had a chicken and pasta dish also great. We split the seasonal butter cake for dessert and literally took home a ton of leftovers (yum) and walked away stuffed. The service was 5+ stars last night! Our server made great suggestions, checked in on us appropriately (not too much and not too little). And she seemed to really love working at North Italia. She made our experience 5 stars all the way around.

This was a wonderful evening with friends celebrating their wedding anniversary. Ben, our server, was outstanding. He took care of us like we were his only customers. Kelsey Williams, the Manager, should be commended for putting together a fantastic staff. He visited our table and made us feel special and welcome. Food was delicious. We had a great time and will be back soon.

This was my second visit to this absolute gem in Nashville, and somehow, the experience was even better than the first! I ordered the filet mignon with truffle topping, and without a doubt, it was the best steak I’ve had in Nashville. Given that I dine at steakhouses about four times a month to entertain clients, that’s saying something—maybe I should start bringing them to DeLuca! The service here is nothing short of phenomenal. The entire team is attentive, ensuring that every guest feels valued, and even the owner is hands-on, personally serving tables. You just don’t see that level of dedication in restaurants of this caliber. If this place were closer to downtown, reservations would be impossible to get for months! A special shoutout to Angelo for going the extra mile—he called me immediately when I accidentally left my card at the restaurant, a fine-dining touch that truly sets this place apart. Most places would wait for the customer to call first, but DeLuca takes hospitality to another level. I genuinely hope to see this restaurant rise to #1 in Nashville and stay open for many, many years to come. If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and book a table—you won’t regret it!

We love the lunch specials - slice of pizza and a salad or lunch salad. The food is always great! The waiter wad new and very good.
