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.

    Yolan was amazing! From the moment we arrived they were very accommodating. Came over and took our costs and brought my wife a hook for her pocketbook. Jake took care of us and he was so friendly and helpful. Wonderful server. Great wine list. Very extensive but almost all Italian wines. The service was top notch. And the food was delicious. My wife had the halibut and she loved it. I had the Dover sole (whole fish). It was fileted and very large. We could have shared it. All in all, one the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while.

    Slow service, entrees brought out before apps and we had to ask someone for another drink( we nearly went to the bar ourselves). Wife’s fish looked like it had an oil spill on it. It felt like they were understaffed by wait staff and in the kitchen. Needs more time to mature before we go back
    YolanResponded 7 days ago
    Thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear about your experience. We strive to provide efficient service and high-quality meals, but it's clear we fell short during your visit. We take your feedback on the service delay and the quality of your wife's fish very seriously. We'll work on these areas for a better experience in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope you'll give us another chance to impress you. Best, The Management Team

    I know about inflation and all, but the value for fine dining out the window. Who cares what anything cost anymore. Our waitstaff was excellent, food was very good, but more than kindof pricey. When does selecting a $200/ btl of wine and allowing the somm to do their job and recommend something similar, but in the same price point, become $295/btl. Nice bottle, but again… anyway, nice evening, but like everything else these days over-priced.

    Decent food, service was a bit slow and pretentious. My colleagues and I travel the world and eat in superb restaurants regularly. This one was just ok. Pasta was very good for the US, focaccia was great, sirloin steak was tough, chewy, and very salty - almost inedible. Halibut was nicely done. Prices were a little on the high side for the level of quality and service experienced. I expected better. Still, a good meal overall.
    YolanResponded 7 days ago
    Good afternoon Adam, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed our pasta, focaccia, and halibut. We regret that our service and food quality didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your observations about our pricing and will work to improve. We hope to serve you better in the future. Best, The Management Team

    We had high expectations coming to Yolan for our anniversary. And every one of those expectations were exceeded! The food was phenomenal, the service was outstanding, and honestly we felt like we got great value for what we spent, which is not always the case in Nashville. We ordered the cacio e pepe, the foccacia, the veal, and the polenta. Every bite was so tasty! (even went home with leftovers) Stoked to go back soon!
