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.

    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.

    The most sophisticated fine-dining experience in Nashville! Outstanding food deeply connected to Italian tradition, brilliant presentation, absolutely top-tier service. Not inexpensive, but the best never is.

    Food and service were excellent. I had said it was my anniversary so I guess I expected a little better seating than the middle front.

    Had a wonderful experience again. Our lead server was very personable and attended to our every need. Overall though pace of the service was very slow - took surprisingly long for our main dishes to come out. The burrata salad is fantastic.

    One of my favorite dining experiences in Nashville. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. They started us off with a complimentary glass of Prosecco to toast the occasion. (Very nice and appreciated). Then we were brought an amuse bouche- which I have to say I couldn't understand the servers description. But it was lovely. We had the focaccia with ricotta and honey. It was excellent. Then we followed with the risotto - which was also excellent. My husband had the sirloin which was well prepared and tender. It came with a side of whipped potatoes. I had the acorn squash which was an unexpected highlight. We looked at the dessert menu but decided we were too full- but the server brought us the pear upside down cake as a celebratory gift- and we loved it. Service was excellent. Our water was attended to. Our drinks were delivered in a timely manner. The atmosphere was quiet- which in Music City is rare and was a welcomed respite to our other dining experiences in the city. Given all this excellence, the dinner was very reasonably priced and a good value. I highly recommend!
