    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.

    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!

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

    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!

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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)!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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??

    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.

    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

    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.

    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
