City House Restaurant - Nashville

My favorite restaurant and I have been to many. I have been visiting it for over 10 years. Their dishes have the best combination of ingredients. It is not even an expensive restaurant

Great menu. I expected more generic Italian but was pleasantly surprised. White truffle gnocchi was superb. Plain cheese pizza was incredible. Nice wine list also!

It is worth the visit! Great ambiance, pleasant staff, comfortable and roomy. We arrived at 5:15 pm on a Monday without a reservation. We were seated at the pizza bar which gave us a view of the kitchen and the staff, the restaurant was full by the time we left at 6:45. It is worth the wait , but if you can call ahead and get a reservation. We were served quickly and Mia, our server, had great suggestions both on the menu and off. The Lamb chops were flavorful, tender, juicy bites with a kick. The bread gnocchi was inspired and the belly pizza and egg- crisp crust, yummy cheese, better than expected. If you are in the Germantown area stop here, it is an experience.

Get the cake. There is always a layer cake on the menu. Often it is TN Waltz Cake. Sometimes coffee cream soda cake, peach icebox cake, sweet potato icebox cake, the christmas one, etc. It is the best cake I have had anywhere so if you go to City House and don't get the cake, you are missing out on one of the most delicious things you could eat. Also the pizza is phenomenal.

As a local, I come here frequently and have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. The food is amazing, staff is kind and attentive, and the atmosphere is wonderful. That being said, tonight my experience was very different. Our dish was brought out and after trying to eat it without complaining, we decided to ask the waitress for something else, she saw the plate and understood why it needed to be sent back and replaced. When it came time to pay the bill we were charged for the second pizza. The manager Sal came over, was so blatantly rude, and said because he saw that we had tried to eat the first pizza that he would not comp it. We were completely willing to pay, that was not the issue, it was the principle and lack of hospitality from the Manager that was extremely disappointing. He did not apologize for the inconvenience of waiting for a new pizza, became rude and defensive when we asked about the additional charge and we left very unsettled and offended. The waitress herself was so kind and apologetic. This has never happened since I have started coming here, and this negative interaction was solely based on the manager Sal and how we were treated as customers. Super disappointing and not expected from one of my all time favorite restaurants in Nashville.
