Our server, Mario, was so amazing! He gave us the best experience and offered his expertise in wine and food! Great experience and will definitely go back!

The food is very Italian authentic. However, Italian's eat beef too! There were not many selections that were not pork and didn't have pork in them. Since my family doesn't eat pork it was difficult to find something eat. In the end, we settled for pizzas. I will say though, the honey truffle pizza was unique and delicious. This is not intended to be a bad review. I just wish restaurants understood not everyone can eat pork.

Stopped here for girl's night and it was the best! The people watching was great (we sat on the patio) and the food was really good! We got diet cokes for our drinks and the first round came out flat but when we told our server, the were kind enough to replace them and you could tell they actually fixed the carbonation. I got the pepperoni pizza Nashville hot style, we got the whipped ricotta to split, and my friend got the margherita. Everything was delicious and we would definitely go back.

The waiter forgot about us. The hostess found us another waiter, who was good however by that time we had been there 1 hr with no order placed. The food was okay Would not recommend or go back.

Nashville local, first time visit. My partner and I dined here for a birthday celebration. We had the whipped ricotta, calzoni di carne and the lasagna. We both enjoyed our meals immensely. We finished the night with an excellent espresso martini and the cream puff dessert. Most importantly our server John was incredible. He was knowledgeable, kind, attentive and personable. He made our evening feel even more special, can't thank him enough. A note to locals, the restaurant is in the heart of downtown. We went on a Saturday so the ambiance was on the louder side with all the yelling bachelorettes and woo hoo girls. Thats not on the restaurant at all, we still had a wonderful time. Just a heads up. Also if you're a tourist reading this, there is no need to scream at each other in a nice restaurant

The food at Ophelia's was great. We enjoyed having the Caesar salad and the margarita pizza. Both were the perfect size to share. The restaurant was loud due to two very loud groups. Overall, we loved the food at Ophelia's and would definitely come back.

This place had a lot of potential but ultimately fell short. A few of us ordered the 3 course so we could get the cannoli sundae. After watching them bring them out back to back to everyone else in the restaurant it seemed they were out by the time we got to dessert :( Also all my food was cold, the meatballs were cold which we ate anyways. My lasagna was cold in spots and lukewarm in spots so they were able to give me a hot one. It was very difficult to get things from our waiter, we were never asked for a drink order, had to ask for napkins halfway through the main course and we were missing a couple utensils. It was too loud to have any sort of conversation which sucked for celebrating someone’s birthday. We also mentioned that in the reservation but nothing came from it.

Had an absolutely delightful evening at Ophelia’s! We opted for a cozy dinner, sharing a pizza and salad, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. But what truly set our experience apart was the service we received from Elijah. It’s not every day you encounter someone who can truly be called a master at their craft, but Elijah fits the bill perfectly, especially when it comes to crafting cocktails. Not only were his drinks out of this world, but his ability to engage in conversation was unparalleled. He’s an incredible conversationalist, making our dining experience even more memorable.The pizza and salad were delicious, the drinks were beyond compare, and the service and conversation were absolutely top-notch. A big thank you to Elijah for making our evening so special. If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience with outstanding service, Ophelia’s is the place to go—and be sure to ask for Elijah!

Went for my GF's birthday. Atmosphere was intimate and food was a 10/10! We also tried the gnocchi pasta which was so filling and flavorful. Will definitely come back to this spot fot date night again.

I chose this restaurant based on location (across from my hotel) and I'm so glad I did. The food and ambiance were fantastic! The whipped feta app with fresh baked focaccia was very, very good! The pizza was good too.
It was okay. The host was super nice and helpful loved her. When we got seated we'd didn't have utensils napkins and never got asked our drink order. Our waiter was never there and never helped us we had to resort to other waiters to get utensils and napkins. Very loud for celebrating a birthday and our waiter forget and didn't do anything special for the birthday. We did the $40 pre fixed course and first the "meatballs" is just a singular meatball and then the lasagna came out cold. The meat was cold. Had to send it back. It was a busy saturday night it might be better during the week when it's not so busy.

Perfect spot. Lively, vibrant, cool. Friendly, welcoming. Great caesar salad, pizza, dessert, charcuterie board. Convenient to Broadway. Perfect for small or large groups. We've already been back and plan to make it a regular spot.
What a delight! Our experience overall was fine. The food was amazing and we enjoyed it. The service was less so. Easy mistakes were made, which we understand happening but we felt neglected by our server once the mistakes were made as if he were embarrassed to face us afterwards. I would rather he have overcompensated with better service being friendly instead of ignoring us.

Showed up at midnight on 2/24 (Sat night) and the waiter said they were closed. Yet, sign out front, website, Yelp all said 1am. Just a heads up if you’re thinking you can come here late.

Was here for a work dinner. The service was excellent. The cuisine was not very creative though. Meatballs, salad and lasagna could have come from any chain Italian restaurant. The restaurant was loud but so is every other venue these days.
