About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
At City House in Nashville, TN, James Beard Award winning Chef Tandy Wilson makes an amazing array of dishes to pair up with the enormous array of artisan cocktails, wine and bourbon or whiskey choices available. A popular Sunday Supper gives a unique dining experience, but many come for the regular dinner menu.

The dinner choices at City House include starters like frico, pork snacks, and seasonal salads. There are handmade pizzas with traditional toppings and more Southern inspired choices like belly ham or kale. The entrees are just as seasonal and include dishes like the local trout, hand made pastas, and wood oven roasted meats. A visit to City House allows you to enjoy a wonderful experience in a historic setting.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Tandy Wilson

From the OpenTable editors: Chef Tandy Wilson has eight James Beard Award nominations and one win under his belt for the innovative pizza and Italian fare he slings at City House. Wilson tops blistered pie crusts coming out of the woodfired oven with the likes of house pork belly ham or local and seasonal veggies, plus ensures there's very little food waste in dishes such as bread gnocchi with cauliflower ragu that uses up leftover pizza crust. Don't miss the fun bartender guest stars who ensure plenty of good bourbon flows through the wide open kitchen and dining room.

    City house is great, perfectly loud like a lunch room in a jr high. Everyone is chatting and living it up. Servers have always been genuinely cool to be around. One time I ordered a bottle of wine and when it was opened it turned out to be water and we all had a great laugh about it. Strong recommend for basically any dinner you want to plan (biz, date night, friends in town etc)

    The pizza was unbelievable. I found a blog that talked about restaurants to go to in Nashville and City House was on the list. Glad we made it in. Drinks were good, pizza was really good. We ended up ordering 1 of all 5 and an extra belly ham with an egg.

    We went to City House with out-of-town friends. We had the Sunday dinner menu, and we everything we ordered was great: the wings and pork shank appetizer, the bamboo pizza, rigatoni pizza, and buffalo chicken pizza. If anything, the bamboo pizza could have been labelled as a potato pizza. The space and the service were perfect to have plenty time to visit with our friends -- we didn't feel rush, and we probably abused the hospitality of the restaurant as we were the last to leave. We had a great time and great food. City House is always a great choice.

    This is the second time I’ve been to City House. First time was with friends, the second time was with my father-in-law. Both times the food was fantastic. The pizza is cared for with excellent toppings, but the crust is where it lacks (and I mean this lightly. It’s better than anything I could create but I have had better quality pizza for slightly less cost). My reasoning for my low review for atmosphere is because it is LOUD in that building. There are no sound panels or sound deadening boards anywhere in the restaurant, and I found myself talking a louder than I normally do. I do understand that it was a Saturday night and it was packed, but the restaurant should absolutely hang something on the walls to help mitigate the sound. The service I had on Saturday night as well was absolutely not up to par for the cost of everything in this establishment. The first time I went our server was fantastic: checking in frequently, great at making small talk, and helping us navigate the menu as well. The second time we went our server was barely around. They were absent for most of the night, took a very long time to take our food order after ordering drinks, and when we ordered dessert they didn’t bring out my father-in-laws order. Along with that, it took 15 minutes for her to come in and check on us about the desserts, which at that time my wife and I had already eaten our desserts and were ready to get the bill and leave. Our server even called back all of our desserts before leaving to put the order in, so I have no idea where the lapse in communication was. I’ll be honest, I don’t think it’s worth the price to come back. There are new establishments opening in Nashville that have better service, atmosphere, food, and value for what they charge.

    Everything the group had was delicious and our server was wonderful. She made great recommendations and was very enthusiastic. The only challenge was it was so nosy we could barely hear each other at our table of 4.
