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.

    Service was good. Wine selections were great. The food though is way too salty. We had different dishes and all were very salty. Be sure and tell your server to go light on the salt. Yolan seems more interested in being an upscale restaurant than serving good Italian food.

    This was our second experience here and sadly, both times have disappointed greatly. 1st time pasta and risotto were so undercooked we didn’t finish any of them. This time, the pasta was overcooked and flavors were dull. The polenta side was the only redeeming item we ordered. Service was slow and unobservant. The ambiance is strange, it’s like eating in the lobby of a hotel. For such a “high end” restaurant, all feels sloppy and poorly executed.

    Yolan was amazing! From the moment we arrived they were very accommodating. Came over and took our costs and brought my wife a hook for her pocketbook. Jake took care of us and he was so friendly and helpful. Wonderful server. Great wine list. Very extensive but almost all Italian wines. The service was top notch. And the food was delicious. My wife had the halibut and she loved it. I had the Dover sole (whole fish). It was fileted and very large. We could have shared it. All in all, one the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while.

    Slow service, entrees brought out before apps and we had to ask someone for another drink( we nearly went to the bar ourselves). Wife’s fish looked like it had an oil spill on it. It felt like they were understaffed by wait staff and in the kitchen. Needs more time to mature before we go back
    YolanResponded on November 23, 2024
    Thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear about your experience. We strive to provide efficient service and high-quality meals, but it's clear we fell short during your visit. We take your feedback on the service delay and the quality of your wife's fish very seriously. We'll work on these areas for a better experience in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll give us another chance to impress you. Best, The Management Team
