   Enjoyed a Thanksgiving buffet and arrived early for my reservation but was seated promptly. Good food, but a bit pricey, especially with adult beverages. Kids buffet was free, however!

   We were in Nashville for Thanksgiving and Ella’s was recommended to us by several people. Nashville is a town where you have a lot of high quality food choices…and this was a great choice. Excellent food, great drinks, friendly and exceptional service. Atmosphere was open and friendly without being overwhelming and noisy. Highly recommend!

   I came to Ella’s for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was very good. The entrees and sides were all fresh and hot, well thought-out and kept available. The service was gracious but not intrusive. I hope to come back next year. Looking forward to trying the dinner menu soon.

   Food was terrible, it came out cold and under cooked as well as some came over cooked. The pizza tasted terrible and the other items had no taste or flavor. The appetizers we got were pretty good. Caesar salad was good, but it’s not very hard to mess up a Caesar salad.

   Everything was outstanding! Our waiter was so helpful and so accommodating! The meatballs were delicious! We wanted to try several things so our server, Jay, suggested ordering a few things to be able to taste it all! Best idea EVER! Everything we ordered, from the drinks, appetizers, main course to desserts was fantastic! Worth every penny!

   Love this place! I’ve come here 2 times and have had Matt serve me. He’s awesome and always checked up on me, making sure I was taken care of and had everything I needed. Food is amazing, definitely recommend the Shrimp Scampi and Goat cheese pizza for apps. Dinner I loved the Pork Chop, but I also really liked the chicken rigatoni/red sauce. Definitely recommend coming here for a date night or more of a friend meet as well. The ambience is perfect, it’s not too bright but the decor is very comforting too.

   We were a table of 8. Our server was Nico. As a table of 8, automatic 20% gratuity was included. Since the gratuity was included, we received subpar service. Only one of us enjoyed our meal. There were multiple parties as large as us, and they were receiving good service while our server was nowhere to be found. As an Italian restaurant, you would expect good marinara. Two of us ordered a side of spaghetti and marinara as our meal and it was not good at all. The pasta was fresh, but the sauce was sour. As a group of servers and bartenders, an $18 coffee drink with amaretto and coffee itself was priced horribly. Two of our group split a chicken parm and both agreed that it was not good at all. We never informed a manager of our experience due to the fact that we just wanted to leave. The arugula salad was good, and drinks were strong. We all concluded that for the price of the meal, it was definitely not worth it and would’ve enjoyed a better meal on broadway with paying all of the additional taxes and company.

    Meh. We were really excited for Italian food. I’ve followed Christian’s professional career for a while and I couldn’t wait to visit his Nashville place. Unfortunately it left little to be desired. The mozzarella sticks were subpar and the “8hour sauce” tasted like it was cooked within the hour. The vodka pasta tasted like I could have made the exact same thing in my kitchen quickly with little effort. Just not at all the flavors or experience I was expecting. Service was great though. Won’t be returning.
