"“A locavore’s dream”, this “trendy”, midpriced Germantown “rustic” Italian uses area ingredients in “house-cured salami”, “best-in-town” belly-ham pizza and other “astonishing creations.”" Full review
Afar Magazine "Belly ham pizzas, pastas and main dishes like roasted chicken and cornmeal-crusted catfish with peppers, garlic, anchovy, lemon and parsley." Full review
goop "City House’s rustic Italian-meets-Southern food stands out from that of the rest of the Nashville restaurant scene in that it’s a true foodie’s restaurant." Full review
On the Grid "Belly ham pizza. He could’ve stopped there, but City House Chef Tandy Wilson is known, among other things, for his exquisite charcuterie—think paper-thin salami served with parmesan." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With delicious pizzas and hearty Italian-meets-the-South entrées, City House is the kind of casual bistro you return to over and over again." Full review

Fair warning, though: The acoustics can be overpowering, so request a table in the back room if one is available.
