Lovely experience!! The pizzas were incredible. We ordered Truffle Pizza and Mortadella Pizza and loved it. Also ordered the Whipped Ricotta and it was to die for. 100% recommend, especially during the summer for their outdoor seating.

I feel ya, Ophelia. Thanks for a great post-show meal while me wife and I were out living it up in Nashville. We picked out this spot due to its proximity to a performance we were catching earlier in the night, and made a reservation in advance. That was definitely needed, as the place was packed when we arrived. Regardless, our table was ready within just a few minutes, and our waiter had greeted us within just a minute. Service was professional and prompt throughout. Italian food was about the only food we hadn't had while in Nashville, and knowing that it isn't exactly a hallmark of the region we were in, had reserved expectations. This is primarily a pizza place, with a small pasta based menu, but they highlighted their lasagna as a house specialty. Boy, was it ever special indeed. It was rich and flavorful, with a tasty bechamel cream draped all over it. This made each bite so yummy, and the portion was large. I ate most of it, unable to take any leftovers with us due to staying in a hotel. If we'd known how big it was, we may have just split the entree. Before the lasagna, we split a ceasar salad because we did see how large that was at a neighboring table, and heard them commenting on the dressing. This was indeed one of the better versions I have had. Fresh lettuce, plenty of parm, and a nice funk to the caesar dressing which tasted like it was made in house. Very flavorful. Our cocktails were well done also. To top it off, the vibes here are excellent with the walls completely covered in old framed photos and art. Your check is brought in a copy of Hamlet, which people have written all over, and we added our wisdom to. It was a cute touch given the name of the restaurant, and the role of Ophelia in Shakespeare's classic. We would come back here for sure.

A nice location to have Italian cuisine in downtown. Overall, a relaxed vibe with music and so many types of framed photos and various pictures on the walls. The meat calzone was incredibly flavorful and very filling. Friends also enjoyed the shrimp scampi, spinach calzone and pizza. Our waiter was very attentive, answered all our questions on ingredients and portion sizes. Definitely recommend this spot.

I've been wanting to try this Italian place for a while, but I wanted to try the regular menu instead of weekend brunch menu. I had a Monday off, so I finally made it for lunch. It was worth the wait. We tried 4 menu items and everything we had was fresh and delicious. It's a bit above moderately priced. They have quite a few appetizers, main entrees and several desserts to choose from.They have a big selection of wines and other alcoholic beverages. It's a cozy interior with some uncovered outdoor seating. The staff were very friendly. I would just say that the pizza is Neopolitan style which is a foldable type of thin crust, but it was Very Good with no grease and they freshly truffled it tableside. We parked in the parking garage in the Chase Bank building on Church St. It was $10 for a 2 hour time slot and it is a 5 minute walk from the restaurant. I'm definitely going back.

What a cute spot to have Italian cuisine! I really enjoy the plethora of framed photos and various pictures that are hanging on the walls all over the restaurant. Our waitress, Joy, was the sweetest thing on the planet she really made my birthday feel super special and gifted me with my favorite dessert which is tiramisu. The tiramisu was absolutely decadent and so creamy. It fed all six of us because it was a decent portion. The lasagna was incredibly flavorful and my absolute favorite. Not pictured were various espresso martinis, which were superb . A sidenote, the bathrooms were super cute and clean. I would recommend this spot, it has a variety options on the menu and the staff was always on point.

I enjoyed the pizza and the service was friendly and effective for my small group. I love the way Ophelia's created a family restaurant atmosphere. From the hostess to the server, the staff was warm and welcoming. Our waitress patiently helped us navigate the menu, from favorites to helping with options for those with dietary restrictions. I started with the warm olives, and the chef offered us complimentary tomato-pesto antipasti. I shared a truffle pizza, and it was delicious. It featured real, shaved at your table truffle. The crust was authentic and the pizza was cooked to the right level at high temps. It's worth the premium! Others at my table enjoyed their lasagna and meatball pizzas - all plates and pizza trays were emptied. I'll be back!

Excellent and kind service! The best service I've had despite being understaffed. The servers were very pleasant and nice. Immediately served us water since we were parched and were attentive. The restaurant itself is adorable and detailed. Very cute brunch spot. From the decor to the plates and even the receipt in a Shakespeare playbook, the attention to detail was magnificent. The pizza was surprisingly good. Being from the northeast I am very picky. The crust was excellent and the pizza was thin and crispy. No flop. We asked for red pepper flakes and spices to top the pizza and they delivered. I would definitely return.
