   This restaurant closed for good the last week of August due to rent increases. It would have been nice to have been informed by open table. Fortunately we figure it out because we called to try to make an earlier reservation. It’s a pity. Had been looking forward to the meal!!

   Our large group was accommodated easily, the food was tasty and the wait staff efficient. The one annoyance, several listed wines were not available, and we gathered early on a Saturday evening.

   The food was delicious. Recommend the cauliflower for sure. Additionally they did a good job with some handcrafted drinks as well.

   This was a decent experience. The food was good but nothing spectacular. I did get dripped on by the air-conditioner as in other reviews. The wine list also had several wines no longer available on it – as a matter fact most were no longer available. The service was great though! It just wasn’t a great enough experience overall to warrant returning.

   I read reviews of this place and it seemed like a good choice for a casual meal with a co-worker. It was close to the hotel and convenient. It was almost completely empty at 6:30 and now I know why. While the service is cheerful and a little over - attentive the food is really below average to bad. The menu is small for a tapas place and most of the four dishes we ordered were disappointing. The kale salad is small and boring, the scallops were raw on the bottom, and the Korean ribs were dry with a gloopy overly sweet sauce. The only thing worth eating was the brocclini and even it was over-sauced. Do yourself a favor and find something cheaper and worth eating elsewhere.

    We were supposed to dine at Chef & I but they lost our reservation. We found an available table at Americano and boy are we glad. The food was great. Dave was our waiter & had great suggestions. One of our group is a vegetarian & was impressed with the options. Totally recommend. We all agreed that Chef & I losing our reservation turned out to be a blessing. It was a great night.

    We enjoyed several small plates - street corn, spicy cauliflower, scallops with blackberry horseradish sauce, lamp chops, and fingerling potatoes in smokey tomato sauce. Scallps were outstanding, lamb chops rare, and cauliflower was too spicy to eat. Service was friendly and the restaurant was not busy when we were there, so very quiet. Easy parking.

    Americanos is a really somewhat hidden gem in Nashville. We went on a Monday night and there was a group of over 40 that were there when we arrived. Once we saw them we started to leave as they had not gotten any food, but a friendly server assured us she would take care of our orders. She did and we had no issues, the tapas were all good, particularly the Nashville hot cauliflower, Mexican street corn and a chopped Kale salad that rivals that at super upscale Kayne Prime. Even with the large group, we had all our food in a timely manner and food that should have been hot was. My only complaint is that Americanos is following many area restaurants and adding the liquor tax, 15.25%, onto the menu price. Once you add the normal sales tax to the liquor tax, you pay an additional 24.5% tax to the menu price. Only recently has this become a practice that some, but not all , are doing.

    Americano remains, as it has been since it opened, the best/only good tapas option in Nashville. The tapas menu seems to change more seasonally than it used to, but the paella remains top-notch. We ordered the charcuterie board, which is fairly new, and it was outstanding. The wine and beer selection is well-curated, and the bartender made a cocktail for us that used to be on the menu but is now off without missing a beat. I deducted for service because we had some new staff who could be better, but that's a struggle for all restaurants in Nashville these days and smoe of the longer-tenured staff do a really good job.

    We were only people in the restaurant and our food still came out and it was not hot. I don’t know if my seared scallops was even cooked. Everything was not the quality that we had on other visit’s. Our bill was almost 100.00 and we were not pleased with anything.

    Fantastic food! Highly creative and imaginative. A few of the dishes (cauliflower especially, but also tuna) were too hot (spicy). I'd take the heat level a notch or two down, or at least give a heads up to the customer.

We will definitely do a better job at alerting our guests to some of the more... kickin' menu items moving forward.

    I’ve been in Nashville for 6yrs, and I am SO SAD that it took me so long to try Americano. The food was EXCELLENT, the service was very good, and the ambience was better than expected given the high traffic location. Not only will I return soon, Americano is now on my list of stops for visitors.

    A welcome reprieve from your typical Nashville fare. A rare find with an exciting menu. Food was expertly prepared and delicious. Service was impeccable. Loved the kale salad and compressed watermelon salad, which was a nice healthy option in a city where Mac/cheese is considered a veggie lol. Also loved the charred octopus, skirt steak with chimchurri and plantains, scallops and lamb chops. Each tapa had an exciting twist to it to tantalize the palate. Shaun is a masterful restaurateur/manager, prices were reasonable too! A must do in Nashville!
