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.

    Had a wonderful experience again. Our lead server was very personable and attended to our every need. Overall though pace of the service was very slow - took surprisingly long for our main dishes to come out. The burrata salad is fantastic.

    One of my favorite dining experiences in Nashville. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. They started us off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast the occasion. (Very nice and appreciated). Then we were brought an amuse bouche- which I have to say I couldn't understand the servers description. But it was lovely. We had the focaccia with ricotta and honey. It was excellent. Then we followed with the risotto - which was also excellent. My husband had the sirloin which was well prepared and tender. It came with a side of whipped potatoes. I had the acorn squash which was an unexpected highlight. We looked at the dessert menu but decided we were too full- but the server brought us the pear upside down cake as a celebratory gift- and we loved it. Service was excellent. Our water was attended to. Our drinks were delivered in a timely manner. The atmosphere was quiet- which in Music City is rare and was a welcomed respite to our other dining experiences in the city. Given all this excellence, the dinner was very reasonably priced and a good value. I highly recommend!

    We had a spider crawl out of our salad. In front of the chef so he took it back. Ruined our appetite to be honest. Steak had no flavor. We ordered a 160 dollar steak so we expected a lot more flavor it was also suppose to be medium came out medium rare instead. All in all not impressed and really ruined salads for me after watching a huge spider crawl out.

    We made a reservation for 9:15pm and arrived by 9:20pm. When we were seated, we were told the kitchen closed at 9:15pm, but they were prepared to receive our order if we ordered before 9:30pm. The staff was kind and professional, but pushy about putting our order in. Not what I would expect from a restaurant like this. I almost made the reservation for the 9:45pm time that was available on the website. Would we have been served at all if we arrived then!?! I don't think they should offer reservation times that are after their kitchen closes.

    Good day Kimberly, We're really sorry to hear about your experience at Yolan. We understand that waiting to be seated after our kitchen closes can be frustrating, especially when you had a reservation.

We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we strive to improve our timing and overall experience. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

    Everything 5 ⭐️. It’s a laid back atmosphere that’s very comfortable from the moment you step into the restaurant. If you’re early, the extensive bar is steps away with what seems like bartenders as carefully curated as the art throughout the hotel. The kitchen is as accommodating as you can imagine. I like my beef rare and my friend more on the well side (so embarrassing 😂). No problem, we both were presented with perfectly cooked portions. Everything was beautifully presented and the gelato for dessert was a great finish to our meal. Definitely eating here again before we leave!!

    We have been meaning to go to Yolan for several years, and the wait was worth it. Outstanding, authentic, interesting food. It was great from start to finish, and all the dishes are great. The staff is high touch, and first-class. And if you drive, valet and parking is included with validation. Great place for a date or couples night.
