Best old fashioned in Nashville. No flare, nothing over the top, just pure and delicious. Amazing pasta dishes and small plates and ambiance inside or out. Perfect Nashville evening begins here.

David White

Such flavors...the toast with chicken liver and coco is a mouth fiesta for sure. The sweet potato app is truly a whole new flavor profile entirely with a whole lot of umami! The short rib is bomb!

Byron Wilkes

Calamari in ink sauce is to die for. Every cocktail I've had here is incredible. Ask for Wyatt as your server!

Eileen

Garganelli verde with pork ragout was the perfect amount of chewy. Squid ink pasta had a hint of spice at the end of each bite. Order both!

Dan Holland

Wow! Amazing food, amazing drinks even better service. The “Show me the money” is possibly one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The pasta dishes were phenomenal. Just do it

Andy Swindler

Tasty. Got there early & sat outside immediately. Yummy cocktails & top-notch house-made pasta . Squid ink bucatini w/octopus hit the spot. Cantaloupe soup was refreshing on a hot day.

AmateurConcierge

a tough one to rate. Buzzy, Nash sophisticated crowd. Great cocktails & really creative/ambitious dishes...every dish had some kind of fun angle but the food was not excellent. Would try again tho

Lina Yeh

The sweet corn agnolotti was the crowd favorite, it's fluffy and is a refreshing pop of flavor in your mouth! Definitely order several dishes to share family style so you can try more.

Douglas Luckett

Start with the sourdough with seaweed butter . The half chicken is outstanding. And honestly, any of the pastas (My two favorites: Garganelli Verde with Pork Ragout , Mafalde with Maitake Mushrooms )!

Eater

It's a packed house night after night, and with Bon Appetit and Esquire recently naming it one of the best new restaurants in the country , don't expect it to slow down. [Eater 18 Member]

I can't say enough great things about RAD! The cocktails were on point, and literally each dish was great! Make sure you get at least ONE pasta !

Joe Hendele

Rolf's achieves the golden trifecta: amazing food, service, and ambiance. A Nashville gem and top-notch foodie experience. Just go and keep your fingers crossed that Wyatt serves you - what a pro.

Epicurious

Enjoy some of the best pastas in the country at the restaurant 's long bar . Chow down on the bucatini all'amatriciana and garganelli verde with heritage pork ragout. Read more

Luke White

So. Good. Loved the spiker and sponge cocktail and the montañas verdes cocktail . Loved the faro, the pig 's head, the brook trout and the squid ink seafood pasta . Amazing.

Kelly Reeves ????

I bet everything is rill good but the roasted chicken was superb and you can't go wrong with octopus . And of course the cocktails !

Drew Christien

Amazing food, great cocktails . Seriously great menu. One of the bartenders was talking sh*t about us out-of-towners but in a cute , completely clueless and overcompensating way.

Drawing on Northern Italian and Mediterranean influences, they use Southern ingredients to create a dynamic and seasonally-driven menu. The pork ragout pasta literally melts in your mouth. Read more

John Broks

Great place, very lively , high noise level. Portion sizes good, not overpowering meaning you can easily have 3 courses. Spaghetti and shrimp was really good.

Roshel Aghassi

Food was really good. We had a about 9 dishes that we shared amongst 8 people. Short rib and beef tartar was delicious.

Nicole Formica

Top notch Italian. The smoothest ricotta I have ever had. Be sure not to skip the squid ink pasta and beef tartar .

Michael Brooks Jr

Drink: Marcello's Manhattan - Appetizer: chicken liver pâté - Dinner : Squid Pasta - Dessert : Chocolate Tart - this place was incredible.

Emily Heyward

I believe the menu changes but everything was spectacular. Best chicken liver ever. Delicious pasta . Can't go wrong here! Great cocktails too.

Alexa Jane Brooks

Unbelievable pasta . Get the Fleet Street to drink. Get whichever pasta your waiter tells you to. They know best!

Nicole Rocchio

Was definitely good, was expecting more bc of the hype. Agnolotti & chicken dishes were my favorite! For GF folks, menu doesn’t have GF pasta which is limiting given all their entrees are pasta ??

Mike Seilback

Amazing food in this former warehouse . The bartender/ mixologist makes great cocktails while Rolf makes delicious dishes. Lives up to the hype

Kim Lewis

We had 5 people at our table and we all ordered something different and it was all amazing. Could not believe the incredible flavors. Love this place.

Taylor Konigseder

Great vibe and awesome food! We were super impressed by the knowledgable service and the quality of the cocktails , too. Love!

Emily Scheer

The mushroom alfredo might be the best pasta dish I've ever eaten. Not to be missed!

Adam Lorentzen

Amazing cocktails are good all night with impeccably balanced dishes make for a solid dinner with a lively atmosphere .

Christina

Had the sourdough+seaweed butter, squid ink pasta , and olive oil cake . So good!

Dustin Soper

A very extensive drink list with very inventive names. Try the "Good To The Last Drop" if you're a coffee fan!

Washington Post

If you get only one dish at Rolf and Daughters, make it a pasta : spaghetti freckled w/ charred ramps and a sunny egg yolk crown. The kitchen cooks to order an average of 150 pasta requests a night. Read more

Lily

Do yourself a favor and get the rigatoni , the Brussels, the pâté , and the seaweed butter , though you really can't go wrong with anything.

Wesley Verhoeve

Wellll this is my favorite place to eat in Nashville. Drink the Ghost Writer, get the cauliflower/currant/almond side, eat the pork with A SIDE OF PORK .

Marina Weisz

Loved ! The place is very nice. The food is great, very delicious. The service was sweet and very efficient.

Kevin V

Been wanting to go there for the past 3 years. Perhaps the wait wasn't so worth it. Waited 2 hours for a table because guests take their time eating. Be ready to wait if you don't have a reservation .

John Taylor

You really can't go wrong with ordering a pasta dish or two. Or three.

Kristina P

short rib for two, beef tartare were so delicious. great service, cool space

Jill Makenzie

I was very disappointed with this restaurant , not because of the quality(b/c it was delicious), but because of the quantity vs price ratio. People make it seem fancier than it is & it's too expensive

Steph Sia

Amazing food! The bucatini is out of this world! Other standouts: tartare , Yorkshire pork and chocolate tart !

Connie

Too many great items! Awesome cocktails , pasta was amazing, butternut squash was outstanding, beef sausage unreal!

Justine

Burton cocktail , chicken pate w/ carrot marmalade , verde pasta , squid ink pasta , Brook trout , Stumptown coffee

Adam Schuit

Awesome decor and great food. Stick to the pastas and the sweet potato is insane. Great spot!!

SFGate

Get the Green wheat with green tomatoes , cucumber , dates and ufer chiles. Read more

Ashley Alvarez

The cocktails and pasta are top notch. Highly recommend the bread with the seaweed butter .

Rachel Goodman

Gluten free pasta is made in house and works perfectly with the pork ragout

Carrie Bevis

One of the BEST restaurants in Nashville for original flavors. Our team of foodies has declared this our favorite.

Sofia Papastamelos

Get the dry aged lamb if they have it! Good vegetarian options as well .

Avery Epstein

So so good, food is amazing. All the pastas are great and cocktails also.

Amri Kibbler

The crustini with butternut squash was so different delicious and unexpected. The pastas are all amazing
