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.

    A great experience. Gabrielle was a perfect server, attentive and witty. Thomas was a great, down to earth sommelier. Definitely ask for a recommendation no matter your knowledge of wine. It is expensive but I do recommend the gnocchi, it was literally the best ive ever had. The steak tartar was unique and delicious. Try the white bolognese, it is amazing. You will not be disappointed if you order the lamb. Do not miss dining here!

    The atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice but the food was disappointing. Started with the focaccia which wasn't focaccia it was bread. I lived in Italy for 3 years so know the difference. I ordered the lamb with the polenta side and they were good (lamb was a little dry). My daughter got the bolognese which was really liquidity so she ended up eating the sauce with a spoon. My husband had the risotto which was okay.
