Ella's by Christian Petroni offers "fantastic food" and "outstanding customer service." The Italian cuisine, especially the mozzarella sticks and fusilli ala vodka, receives high praise. Friendly and attentive servers like Jay and Matt enhance the dining experience. While some dishes were noted as salty, the ambience and "warm atmosphere" create a welcoming vibe.

    Food was amazing, good portions and so delicious! We shared a salad which was perfect, then I had the vodka fusilli and hubby had the special- a slightly spicy shrimp Alfredo. We shared tiramisu which was divine. Great spot for a nice dinner or date night!

    The food and service was excellent! BUT we paid 115.00 for 2 entries, a glass of wine and a beer. We don’t mind paying that for fine dining, which the food was, but the space is far from it. Let’s start with the hostess who was dress in baggy jeans and sweater who barely acknowledged us let alone smiled. The tables are to close together and it is very noisy! There is Nothing in the space to dampen the noise. We loved the food but we were very disappointed in the space. It was like being at a fast food restaurant… no atmosphere! As a local I would suggest leaving it for the tourists!

    We ended up at Ella’s after another reservation fell through. It was a very welcoming and delicious spot! It’s an excellent option before attending a concert at the Schermerhorn. They even offer special valet rates, although there was definitely confusion among the staff as to what the rate is supposed to be.  highlights of the meal or the mozzarella cheese sticks and the chocolate dessert. I would go back just for those!

    Hi Laura, Thank you very much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time at Ella's, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. We will ensure that your compliments are passed along to our kitchen team. We are working to provide a smooth and seamless parking experience for guests who prefer valet service instead of using the paid garage. We are currently testing a new valet partnership, and for the month of February, the valet service will be available for $10 (we hope to extend this partnership, but for now, this is what we are offering). We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any confusion. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon! Warm regards, The Ella's by Christian Petroni Team

    The mixed drinks were really good. Servers and bartender were both very friendly. The food quality was okay, but for the cost my expectations were much higher than what was received.

    Went for our anniversary. This place is owned by Christian Petroni, I’m a big fan and was excited about eating at his establishment. It’s actually in the Hyatt Centric in Nashville. We arrived early for our reservation, check in with hostess. When the table was ready, our server, Matt greeted us and wished us a happy anniversary. He highlighted some of the favorites on the menu. We ordered the mozzarella cheese sticks and prosciutto de Parma as appetizers. Both were absolutely delicious. I ordered chicken parmigiana for an entree and my wife ordered the fusilli ala vodka as her entree. The 8 hour sauce is sooo good. Best sauce I’ve ever had. The fusilli was delicious as well. Matt was such a good waiter. Attentive and not pushy. I will ask to sit in his section tomorrow for lunch. Several things on the menu still to try. Christian Petroni should be happy how well his employees represent him. All of the employees said he visits frequently and is extremely kind to everyone. This will be our new “go to” place in Nashville.
    Ella’s by Christian PetroniResponded on 27 January 2025
    Happy Anniversary, Darran! Thank you so much for choosing us to celebrate such a special occasion and for sharing your kind words. We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your experience, from the delicious food to the warm hospitality. Thanks for letting us know how Matt made your evening even more special with his attentive service. We’re honored to be part of your anniversary celebration and can’t wait to welcome you back to our restaurant to try more of the menu. Best regards, The Ella’s by Christian Petroni Team

    Our waiter was attentive. The food was very salty, vegetables over charred, and cold. Overpriced. Tax on bill was excessive.
