Excellent service and excellent food. It’s kind of small inside but the wait to get in is worth it! I sat at the 3-seat bar on a busy Friday night and got immediate service. Several people checked on me constantly. They brought me crunchy bread and butter – complimentary. I’d recommend the dish I got – Whitefish with angel hair and tomatoes. $26. Tasted very fresh. I can’t remember the awesome blonde server who waited on me but Tiffy was really helpful as well and lit a candle for me. Anyway, Go here if you have the chance!

Zolos is hands down in my top 3 Italian restaurants in Tennessee! The interior is simple and intimate. Perfect for an up close and personal date.

Zolos was the perfect Italian dinner place for us.

Of the three dishes we ordered, the “DIABLO” was by far the best. But the other two dishes were impeccable too.

Little Italian bistro in downtown Franklin that was super busy – always a good sign that good eats are to follow.

The atmosphere was nice, and they had a musician playing that we loved. The disappointing part of the experience was the food (except for the appetizers, which were great). My wife ordered a dish with shrimp, and they said the shrimp was on its way a few times, but it never came. I had a dish with chicken and the chicken was hard as if it had been reheated from days ago. If they had the same musician we would go back for a glass of wine and an appetizer, but I doubt we would chance dinner again.

Great little spot, there was a live musician playing. One couple got up and found space to dance during dinner. ❤️Wanted somewhere away from the bar scene of Nashville to enjoy dinner with my teenagers. This place was perfect. Food was amazing and it was accompanied by great service as well. Overall a very welcoming, genuine place.

This is by far the BEST Italian food I have ever eaten! And the service was amazing. From the sweet old man in overalls who greeted us at the door, to Cam, and Derrick our server— they were all wonderful and helped us to have a great experience! I got the Spicy Tortellini Diablo— and ya’ll it was to die for! The perfect amount of spice and so much flavor! I wish I lived closer and could come here often. Even the live music in the background was perfect. Go check them out!

Located a tad bit off of the main street scene is where you’ll find this spot! We showed up for an early dinner. Reservations ate recommendations as it seems to be a hot-spot. We chose not to have a view. But if you do ask in advance, apparently it’s a thing. The waitress was very nice and provided amazing service. The food took longer than expected to arrive but it was delicious.

First time here but I will definitely be back! The menu was just the right size with several different types of options, the food was delicious, the portions were sizeable, and the prices were very reasonable. Additionally, our service was excellent and the ambience was nice too.
