Voted the No. 1 Restaurant in the U.S. by Food + Wine readers, Yolan is an authentic experience of Italian cuisine done right, located at The Joseph Nashville. A true love letter to Italy, Yolan pays homage to the Pizzuti family's heritage and Joseph's wife, Yolanda.

Perfect for dining family style, the a la carte menu features signature dishes paired with seasonal highlights, complemented by breads and dolci by our talented pastry team.

Nashville's only Forbes Travel Guide Star Award restaurant and recipient of Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence, Yolan features an extensive wine list of Italian varietals and producers, as well as world-renowned regions and makers.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Nashville’s only Forbes Star Award-winning restaurant, Yolan goes all-in on Italian fine dining—think exquisite pastas, a 55-day dry-aged strip steak, and white truffle supplements. Exceptional service, a standout Italian-leaning wine list, and stellar desserts from pastry chef and 2023 James Beard semifinalist Noelle Marchetti make this swanky spot inside The Joseph Nashville hotel the ultimate dining destination.

    We made a reservation for 9:15pm and arrived by 9:20pm. When we were seated, we were told the kitchen closed at 9:15pm, but they were prepared to receive our order if we ordered before 9:30pm. The staff was kind and professional, but pushy about putting our order in. Not what I would expect from a restaurant like this. I almost made the reservation for the 9:45pm time that was available on the website. Would we have been served at all if we arrived then!?! I don't think they should offer reservation times that are after their kitchen closes.

We're glad to hear that our staff was professional and kind, but we're sorry that the timing didn't align. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into consideration as we strive to improve our timing and overall experience. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

    Everything 5 ⭐️. It’s a laid back atmosphere that’s very comfortable from the moment you step into the restaurant. If you’re early, the extensive bar is steps away with what seems like bartenders as carefully curated as the art throughout the hotel. The kitchen is as accommodating as you can imagine. I like my beef rare and my friend more on the well side (so embarrassing 😂). No problem, we both were presented with perfectly cooked portions. Everything was beautifully presented and the gelato for dessert was a great finish to our meal. Definitely eating here again before we leave!!

    We have been meaning to go to Yolan for several years, and the wait was worth it. Outstanding, authentic, interesting food. It was great from start to finish, and all the dishes are great. The staff is high touch, and first-class. And if you drive, valet and parking is included with validation. Great place for a date or couples night.

    Chef Salem and chef Jeremy provided us with a night we will never forget at chefs table. Would recommend to anyone who appreciated authentic and non-fussy northern Italian cuisine. We will come back and recommend this place to anyone. Pastas were incredible and the fresh charcuterie with prosciutto, burrata, and the cold pressed extra virgin olive oil made it feel like I was back in Italy. Thank you very much, appreciate the incredible service and the kitchens hospitality at the chefs table, we would love to come back!

    We sat at the special table in the kitchen and had a fantastic evening! Several members of the team spoke with us including Jeremy the lead Chef, Justin the lead bartender and a host of others. They explained the inner workings of the kitchen. We sampled several different items, and an even few Amaros (after some excellent custom cocktails.) All were top notch! It felt like an extended back stage tour. Clearly the entire team is passionate about their craft. We would highly recommend this experience!
