Outstanding food and service. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, the pasta is mind blowing. Had most of the menu one evening shared between a group of four and it was one of those ideal meals where every single dish we tried was a banger!

We’ve eaten here three times now and had a spectacular experience each time. The experience feels very upscale, while also being reasonably priced for the quality of food and service. Each time we’ve had something slightly different but it’s all been delicious.

Really enjoyed everything. Got the spaghetti, cacio e pepe, and the agnolotti. The service was incredible and the food was just as incredible. Will definitely be back

Phenomenal food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Small lot parking and lots of street parking. We loved the shareable option and tried the bread and three pastas. We will be back!

Found this place randomly on Google maps prior to going to a bar. I’m SO happy I did! The food is 10/10. The garlic bread was amazing, the burrata was so delicious, but my absolute favorite was the short rib gnocchi. I am from upstate New York so Italian food is a pretty big deal to me. I’ve been to Italy, and iggys is on par with what I e eaten in Florence and Rome. Excellent food! Can’t wait to return!

A lovely addition to the growing fresh pasta scene in Nashville and a true ambience gem if you get the treat of sitting at the chef's counter! I love super fresh, super perfectly executed pasta recipes and was so excited by the addition of a new addition to that scene, let alone one located in my favorite neighborhood to go out and eat in: Wedgewood Houston! Some of my favorite things about this menu: just absolutely incredible service every time I've been here, from the hosts to the waitresses I've had, to the chefs bringing and explaining dishes. Eating at the chef's counter is always a true delight and honestly one of the reasons I come here sometimes. I love watching the kitchen cook while enjoying my meal and it gets me excited to try new things the next time I come because of what I see coming out of the kitchen. A+ ambience. Other highlights: The pasta is so fresh and ALWAYS cooked perfectly al dente. Moreover they are doing some very classic and authentic things with the non-red sauce options, which is very exciting to me. That said, sometimes the flavor execution can be a bit hit or miss for me. For example, the aglio e olio was a bit lemon-heavy than my personal taste for that dish. The pasta choice for the cacio e Pepe was also not my favorite despite the sauce being very good. That said, any ravioli or agnolottis I've had here have been just impeccable. I have also really loved all of my starters: the flavor on the arancini is unreal and the garlic bread (while very rich, would not be able to get this frequently) is viral for a reason. Dessert is always some kind of soft serve creation which makes for a nice palate cleanser on the stomach after eating a bunch of heavier food (a little pricier than I'd expect it to be). Really amazing wine selection at very reasonable price points for the quality and some very tasty mocktails, too! (The lime Rickey is not to be missed!) Another small gripe is the price point to size of dishes is a little more than what I expected. Any of the stuffed pasta types tend to be smaller dishes, but often use really elevated ingredients, driving up the price point. Not a deal breaker for me, but often means I'm spending a little more than I was hoping to, in order to feel full at the end of my meal. 20% gratuity automatically added to your check (I actually love when restaurants do this because it helps simplify paying at the end of a meal.) Would love to come back and try their Sunday "no decisions" dinner ($130 plus tax & service charge for literally so much food) in the hopes of getting some off menu chef's specialties, as I saw my dining neighbors do on a recent visit. Very limited street parking, so I've tended to pay for parking in one of the nearby lots.

Finally an Italian restaurant in Nashville that really knows how to serve pasta. Perfectly al dente, with flavor profiles that reminded us of Italy. Salads and apps were also well executed, and the wine list is thoughtful and presented at an appealing price point. Cool vibe inside, casually elegant. Service on point. Really enjoyed our first visit to Iggy's, very well done from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Absolutely blown away by the hospitality and quality found at Iggy’s. You can tell every decision from the candles in the bathroom to the menu is made with intention. Kayla W did an incredible job taking care of our group. Thank you Matt & Ryan for the outstanding experience. Can’t wait to return.

My fiance recently broke her leg. They were more than accommodating. The food was exquisite, and the service was prompt, tentative, and overall above and beyond.We are coming back for more. ?

I loved the butternut squash, and I loved the garlic bread, 10 out of 10! I love their open kitchen concept, cool building, and nice intimate experience. The staff was all incredibly friendly and helpful including the chef! I would've ordered dessert, but my date declined, except had I known I was going to be splitting the bill with him, I would've definitely got some and not had him order for me! Lol, you live and you learn.

The food was mediocre at best. The crab cake for sharing was one cake that was the size of a half dollar. The garlic bread was the best I've ever had. The spaghetti was very bitter and tasted like you were licking a lemon. Also, beware there is a 20% charge for service that is not disclosed except on the receipt.

Excellence is the best way to describe this place. When booking the reservation the Co-owner was good enough to call and set it up. When we arrived we were greeted by him and the staff. They were so welcoming and helpful from the start. They know they work in an amazing place and are proud of it. The recommendations and pride were awesome.The garlic bread and the Gnocchi stole the show. The pulled cheese and the Cacio e Pepe were nothing short of wonderful. The Chef who is the co-owner made a humble appearance and he too was very welcoming.Great place in every way. Don't miss this one! Btw it was recommended by our Uber driver !
