- VVanessaNashville •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoDelicious food with perfectly sized portions. The Ravioli Della Nonna was divine with a smooth creamy red sauce, the Chicken Parm light and delicate, and the spaghetti with meatballs robust and classic. The red velvet strawberry cake was otherworldly and the classic vanilla ice cream was a creamy gelato that stole the show! Definitely recommend!More infoFrank and Dino'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lexington•4.7
