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.

    Absolutely loved this place! My father and I had a great time. Excellent wine list, knowledgeable staff, didn’t rush us. We even met the chef and talked about the dishes. Every plate was well presented and delicious. We will definitely be back.

    The NYE was really good! Amazing flavors and combinations I've never had before. Each course was full of incredible flavor. The only downside is the portions are quite small but the ingredients are very high quality. Something worth trying at least once in your life.

    An outstanding outing from the Yolan team. The stracciatella and ricotta focaccia were rich and velvety and complimented perfectly the pumpkin risotto, which kept the pumpkin subtle so as not to overwhelm the rest of the dish. I have to especially commend our server, Jan, and Chef Ülker for their attentiveness, geniality, and intent to make our night a memorable one. Well done all-around.
    YolanResponded 2 days ago
    Great day Nathan, We're thrilled to hear about your wonderful experience at Yolan!

We always strive to provide a memorable dining experience, and it's heartening to know we succeeded. Your kind words about our attentive team and Chef Ülker are greatly appreciated. We look forward to serving you again soon. Best regards, The Management Team

    The food was delicious, atmosphere was nice, staff were friendly, service could’ve been more professional, but what jumped out as a huge negative was that the wine bottle price list was ridiculously high! The majority of the Italian red wines listed were from $250-$1,250 per bottle! Not because they were amazing wines, they had good to great wines, but the pricing seeming soooo much higher than usual to us that they must’ve had the highest wine mark-up of any restaurant we’ve ever been to! And we eat out A LOT! I will spend $250 on a bottle that’s worth it for a special occasion. But that bottle would’ve been $800 here! Most people were ordering wine by the glass, which was around $40-60 per glass! We ordered a bottle of white sparkling wine for just under $100, which was fine. It’s not what I wanted. My wife had fish, so fine, we’ll get a white wine. I wanted a sirloin steak they had, so I had a couple $18 cocktails instead. The Whiskey Confit cocktail was very good. I do wish I could’ve had a nice Italian red wine but couldn’t justify the price. Total bill being conservative was just under $500 for the 2 of us. Loved the food, but not likely to return.

    Great evening Troy, Thanks for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Yolan. We apologize for the high wine pricing and the glass pricing. We understand your concerns and will consider them for future improvements. We're sorry to hear about your experience with the sirloin steak and cocktails. We hope you'll reconsider and give us another chance to serve you better. Best, The Management Team
