• Wine Bar • East Nashville
Booked 16 times today
Bad Idea is East Nashville's buzziest new restaurant from Sommelier Alex Burch and Executive Chef Colby Rasavong. It was honored as one of the 50 Best Restaurants in America in 2024 by the New York Times. New York Times food writer Brett Anderson remarks “Bad Idea may well be what many seasoned diners thought when they heard there was a wine bar specializing in envelope-pushing Lao food opening inside an East Nashville church. But given the level of cooking here, the name turned out to be a self-aware joke, rather than aself-own…[Rasavong] invests the weight of his life experience in food that stretches the boundaries ofSoutheast Asian cooking to the edge of Appalachia. And the wine list is wise beyond this restaurant’syears, mixing tantalizing obscurities, affordable crowd pleasers and connoisseur selections you’ll rarelyfind poured by the glass.” Bad Idea was also named a semifinalist for Best New Restaurant in the 2025 JamesBeard Awards.

The atmosphere evolves as you move through the space: bright and breezy on patio, hushed and moody in Snooker. As for the inner sanctum--Henley’s coveted Rabbit Hole--well, you’ll just have to experience that for yourself.

    Had a great time having dinner at Bella Napoli. Food was amazing as always - we had the Diavola pizza (perfect spice levels) and gnocchi. Wine suggestions were amazing as well and a birthday tiramisu was the cherry on the cake!

    Busy Saturday night so the place was packed! We were seated for our reservation right away and quickly greeted, our server was awesome but did not catch her name! She had great recommendations and helped us navigate the menu as first time guests! The meatballs were a pretty average starter, good flavor but a little cold, seemed like they had been sitting awhile before being served. My Hanger Steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri was a great pairing! My mom got one of the pizzas and it was nice and light, great flavor! Overall the food was just above average, service was great, and the environment was bustling and busy! If you are looking for a good spot to drink and eat with friends and get a little rowdy, this is the place!
