- KKodyGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAbsolutely LOVED Pelato. We got the crispy cauliflower piccata, the burnt broccolini, the meatballs al forno, the radiatori vodka, and the little ear orecchiette with sausage. Everything was delicious, with such layered flavor profiles. The radiatori vodka is truly one of the most amazing pastas I’ve ever had in my life - and I’ve had homemade Tuscan pasta. We are only in Nashville for two nights, and are coming back a second night because of how good it was!!! The staff was so welcoming, conversational, and kind, and the espresso martinis were incredible. Have nothing bad to say about this place. Do yourself a favor and eat here.More infoPelatoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Germantown•4.8
