Best Authentic Restaurants in West End

One of the best Italian restaurant I have been to.

Enjoyable dining experience. Good food, and service. Our server, Michelle did a great job.

Amazing!! Very yummy dinner with great service. Our waiter Shraya was incredibly nice and helped us pick out some great dishes. We are planning on having our rehearsal dinner here in December.

I have had the absolute pleasure of dining at DeLuca Italian Restaurant on multiple occasions, and each visit reaffirms that this is a true gem for anyone who appreciates authentic Italian cuisine. The passion, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that go into every dish are unparalleled. What baffles me, however, is the audacity of some diners who seem to completely miss the mark when leaving negative comments. If you're seeking a cheap, cookie-cutter dining experience akin to a chain restaurant, this is not the place for you. DeLuca is for those who value the artistry of food, the finesse of exceptional service, and the warm embrace of a thoughtfully curated ambiance. The menu is a testament to authentic Italian culinary traditions with a modern twist. From the perfectly al dente pasta to the exquisite sauces bursting with flavor, every bite is a reminder of what dining should truly be. The wine selection? Superb. The desserts? Divine. To those leaving subpar reviews: perhaps consider that you’re not paying for mere sustenance here; you’re investing in an experience. If that’s not what you’re looking for, then maybe a fast-casual chain is more your speed. For those who do appreciate the finer things, DeLuca is an unforgettable experience, worth every penny and more. Bravo to the team for their unwavering commitment to excellence!

The food was excellent! We have been here many times and it always is amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the food!!! Some of the best in Nashville (and my current favorite). We had the Floutas (OMG), all 3 street tacos (the pork was CRAZY), the nixtamal grits (delish), and the Mole Amarillo! The taquera salsa that comes with the quesabirria is amazing and should be eaten on everything. The service was a little slow when we were sat, but everyone was friendly and the food came out fast. We had a member of our reservation cancel at the last minute (from 4 to 3), so they switched our reservation to the communal table. They were very busy so it was a little loud.
