Business Summary  what's this?

Restaurante Zola in Nashville is a four star Mediterranean restaurant. Here's a place to get good food. This restaurant is mildly expensive. It's been awarded the Best of Fine Dining and Best of Dessert awards. Know before you go: this place features a perfect venue for special occasions. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a romantic atmosphere. This place features private rooms and fine wines. People who have eaten here found the food obnoxiously too complicated.

Message From Restaurant Zola

The warmth, art, and romance of the Mediterranean at Restaurant Zola.

  • Award-winning Restaurant
  • Fresh Seafood
  • Wine List

The casual dining elegance at ZOLA is one of a kind. Tucked away on a quiet side street off West End, ZOLA invites you to join us for a romantic dinner for two, an important business meeting or a fun night out with friends. Always an innovator on the Nashville fine dining scene, ZOLA's chef and owner Debra Paquette takes diners on a magical culinary journey around the Mediterranean. Spanish, Italian and French cuisine are the main influences on the menu, but they also serve Moroccan and Greek food. Chef Debra's Mediterranean fusion has a New South twist that features items like pecan-fried beet salad and grilled venison.
