Salento Italia

We're a cozy neighborhood Italian restaurant in the heart of Nashville’s Donelson community. We look forward to welcoming guests seven days a week for dinner, with weekday lunch. Our beautiful two-floor dining room is awash in white oak woodwork, featuring soaring 25-foot ceilings, inviting leather-wrapped banquettes, a dramatic white oak & wrought-iron staircase & tons of natural light. The restaurant marks a long-imagined collaboration between brothers Bill Darsinos (GReKo, Southside Grill, SweetMilk) & Sam Darsinos (Darfons, GReKo), whose vision is to create a relaxed, welcoming gathering place where guests enjoy thoughtfully-prepared versions of comforting Italian dishes with subtle nods to their family’s Greek roots. Guests can choose to join us for a meal in the dining room, at the bar, or on our heated & covered outdoor patio (open throughout the year). We look forward to welcoming guests for lunch, dinner, afternoon cocktails, happy hour, & after dinner drinks, serving continuously from open until close. We hope to see you soon!
