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.

    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.

    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!

    Yolan has been consistent every time since they opened. Their service has been very impressive and outstanding. Food of course is incredible and their wine selections are simply amazing. Their cocktails are a must try especially their Italian negroni! I would highly recommend this place!

    Yolan was an excellent experience in every way! We made a reservation to celebrate my birthday with family and it was the perfect night out. Our server, more of a maître d, was so nice and knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu. We ordered apps, mains and had brought a cake to celebrate—not only did they bring complimentary amuse-bouche to the table but also treated us to birthday truffles and champagne to toast. From the service to the delicious food and cocktails, Yolan is an experience in true hospitality! Do yourself a favor and make a reservation!
