The pasta was incredible, and the cocktails were spot on. I got the Bee’s Knees at it was perfectly balanced. The chicken thigh ravioli was a standout—rich and flavorful. Don't miss the soft serve ice cream for dessert; it’s delicious! Iggy's is definitely worth a visit for great food and a laid-back vibe.

Some of the best food I’ve had in recent memory. My husband and I arranged a date night to celebrate our anniversary and it felt so special celebrating at Iggy’s. Every dish we ordered was delicious and the drinks were the cherry on top. Our server Jenna was amazing and so friendly. She recommended we save room for their soft serve, so we did and I am so grateful! The Tiramisu soft serve and the Coffee Vanilla swirl with caramel were to die for! I know some have raised issues with the included gratuity, but I found the service and quality to be well worth the 20% and it was communicated on the website, on the menu, and by our server, so I have no issues there. We will absolutely be back, and I can’t wait to try even more!

iggy’s lived up to the expectations. All of the staff was helpful to ensure a great experience. We ordered the whipped ricotta appetizer, spaghetti aglio e olio, gnocchi alla vodka, and rigatoni bolognese. And for dessert, we order a tiramisu soft serve dish. Trust me the soft serve is better than you think.

A truly beautiful dinner at Iggy's! The appetizer had a refreshing brightness that lifted my mood, the ravioli was full of deep flavor, and the gnocchi had a mousse-like texture that was incredibly impressive. Of course, don’t miss out on the ice cream that just melts in your mouth! I’d love to visit again and try other menu items. It was a wonderful experience—thank you!

Me & a girlfriend sat bartop & wish we could’ve ordered everything on the menu. That garlic bread????? I taste it in my dreams. We did have 3 different pastas & ordered another round of the rigatoni because it was THAT GOOD. Bartenders were fantastic, cocktails were refreshing and clearly thoughtfully crafted. Compliments to the chef who created an experience that makes me want to travel back to Nashville just for the food here!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. They hold the bar for walk ins and I can’t recommend it enough. Some of the best service I’ve received in a perfectly relaxed manner - the bartender, Bedon, is a gem in the hospitality world. Incredible food, fantastic service and a lovely atmosphere. If you’re in Nashville and like unpretentious food, this is an absolute must.

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant in Nashville. Everything is soo good we tried several plates of appetizers and pastas. Stand out dishes are the Truffle Radiatore, Scallop and seaweed Lumache and the tiramisu sundae. The cocktails are refreshing. You can’t go wrong with anything here.
