Best Restaurant in Cool Springs

We recently visited Criallo's after hearing many of our friends rave of the place. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the hostess. We were surprised how busy it was for a weekday night so we went...

Unique place in convenient location. by Gweyn C. at InsiderPages

Criallo's is a great spot for an adult night out. They offer a creative menu and wonderful food. The wine selection is also very good. Cozy atmosphere and the music is always great, but not overwhelming.

Great Happy Hour

The Happy Hour is one of the best in Williamson County. $2.00 off all glasses of wine, and 1/2 price appetizers. The bartenders are friendly and the ambiance is warm and inviting.

Don't waste your time

This restaurant is extremely overrated. They charge a premium for average to below average food in my opinion and I have eaten almost everywhere in Nashville. Myself and two others had dinner and we all agreed...

I just recently re-visited Criallo's and their new menu is INCREDIBLE! Not only do they have live music every night, they have 2 (yes TWO!) Happy Hours! I had Swordfish and my boyfriend had Shrimp, Lobster,...

Great Bistro in the Suburbs

When my husband and I moved here, this was just the type of place we were looking for. Ambience is contemporary yet cozy. The menu allows for variety and is familiar but not stale. The food was really good...

Fantastic food with customer service to match

I've eaten at Criallos on many occassions, am never disappointed and for me, it's the best food around. Reasonable pricing, excellent service and great food make it my pick.

Criallo's: Disapointment in Cool Springs

We ordered the Calamari Appetizer and it was very good. Accompanying it was a simple, tasty marina sauce and a sweet Mango Salsa with lots of cilantro and green onion - both very good pairins with the lightly...

Friendly staff - little gem tucked away!

Most people might not know about this restaurant but it's well worth seeking it out! The menu is very extensive and all of it looks fantastic! It's not cheap but there are specials you should ask about -...

Always A Pleasure

I have been a long time Criallo's customer. The location is great for meeting friends after work for Happy Hour, tapas and the live music. Most recently I met clients for dinner there and was very impress with...

Very Dissappointing

I was expecting so much more based on a prior visit and the seeming popularity. I ordered the Filet ($29) and asked it to be prepared Medium. It arrived well-done. The waiter was very unattentive...so much so...

Disappointment

There was pedestrian food with obnoxious service. The prices reflect a true gourmet experience but the food fell far short.

Yummy but...

We have been going to Criallos for a couple of years (before it "caught on"). We love the food, and tolerated the bar, which has never been great . None of the bartenders makes a good mixed drink (martinis...

Not impressed

My boyfriend and I tried this Friday night because of the Citysearch recommendations. I started with a salad which was good but so is Chili's. Then I had Trieste which was a medley of Shrimp, Scallops, and...

A secret, not for long.

When my friends and I walked in we noticed the fans, which are hand made and belt driven old timey style. The fans were the first of many delightful suprises. The atmosphere is soothing, especially, with the...

great place to find out about

crab cakes, calamara, and the fish dish I had were outstanding. One of the best places I have been in a long while. A good 10 for me.

Great date spot!

I don't know what's better here - the food, the ambiance, the service or the live music (grand piano). I've eaten at Criallo's several times now ... the food is beautifully presented and consistent each time....

time to re-visit--again and again

I originally visited Criallos in late 2002, early 2003 - at that time it was a nice restaraunt. We visitied again in late summer of 2004...they have evolved. While I would not classify my earlier visits as...
