My brother and friends completely surprised me for my birthday with a dinner at Bacco inside the Four Seasons, and it was an absolute masterpiece of an evening. The spectacular hospitality began the moment we arrived; the hostess captured our group with a nostalgic Polaroid picture, and we walked over to find a birthday card thoughtfully signed by the entire staff waiting on our table. The venue exudes a beautifully upscale, classy atmosphere with moody, dim lighting and a talented live saxophone player strolling through the room, which added a wonderful layer to the ambiance.
We handed the reins to my big brother to order our wine and dinner, and every single dish arrived flawless and perfectly executed. Our absolute favorites were the delicate artichoke blossoms, the Conchiglie pasta, and a massive, unbelievably flavorful 53-ounce dry-aged steak. Not to mention the table full of desserts! Co-owner, Nishaan, brought out a spectacular drink cart that beautifully showcased Bacco's attention to detail. Our server, Mallory's thoughtfulness prompted her to inform Nishaan that I didn't drink alcohol, and he immediately had a custom, high-end mocktail crafted just for me. The staff's meticulous conscientiousness is truly exceptional.
Later in the evening, both Mallory and Nishaan spent time sharing the captivating history of the restaurant's design and clueing us into their upcoming schedule. They described their exclusive OpenTable event series in such vivid detail that my brother and friends are already booking a spot to return for their after-party "holiday chalet" experience. Though I'll unfortunately be back home and have to miss it, I highly recommend checking out their event page to see what's available. Thank you, Bacco, for an unforgettable birthday celebration!
I made reservations through Open Table 9/18/26! I'm disappointed that the restaurant canceled my reservation, so I do not get points with Open Table. My server was Jess G. She was great explaining things on the menu because none of it made sense to me and I did not have to ask for this or that! She was on top of it! he food was great except for the mushrooms. The top layer was great because it wasn't soaking in the oil which made that portion not eatable. The 1/2 dozen oyster was great! I almost got the salmon, but my server informed me it comes out raw, that's a NO! The BB Sole Piccata, OJ, 1 liter of water had 2, mushrooms and the tiramisu all great! If I am ever back in Nashville, TN and in the area for dinner I will attend again. It's in the Four Seasons Hotel

We visited on 9/20/26 and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. We had our infant with us, and even during some fussy moments, the staff was incredibly accommodating, patient, and attentive. My wife ordered a dish that ended up not being her favorite, and the team was more than happy to help her find something else. I wish I had gotten the names of everyone who helped us because the service across the board was truly five-star.
Saving the best for last, our waitress Mallory was outstanding. She explained the menu in detail, answered every question we had, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. Her knowledge of every dish was impressive and made the experience even better.
I believe the manager on duty was Virginia and she was exceptional as well!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough about the staff at Bacco. This was my first time in Nashville and our first dinner in the city, and from the moment we met the hostess—who gave me a very nice birthday card signed by the entire staff—to LD, our server, the cooks, and all the support staff, everyone was helpful, professional, and, dare I say, genuinely friendly.
I knew the moment I walked past the cooler with the steaks dry-aging that this was going to be good food, and I wasn't disappointed.
The bread is baked in-house in a pizza oven and served with olive oil infused with three cloves of garlic. It's unusually delicious. We followed that with the tuna appetizer, which is marinated and served on a bed of puréed tomatoes. Wonderful flavor!
My date had the ribeye, medium-well, and since I wasn't very hungry, I opted for the filet, medium-rare. It seems like our steaks hardly ever arrive cooked to exactly the temperature we order, but these were perfect. You could practically cut them with a fork.
It's been a very long time since I've eaten somewhere that made me feel like my patronage was genuinely appreciated while also serving a menu that was so distinctive and thoughtfully prepared.
I highly recommend Bacco for dinner. And if you go, ask for LD. He'll treat you right.

We had a wonderful meal at Bacco. The service was great and the food was memorable! The only weird thing was that we ordered 2 dirty Titos martinis at the bar before we were seated and the tab was $49. I understand cocktails downtown are pricey but I was a little surprised at nearly $25 each for a double shot of vodka ×2. No big deal, we chuckled. Dinner menu pricing was what you would expect, but we felt that the cocktails were.a little out of line. We had a wonderful time and were happy to spend around $350 before the tip. There was a lovely gift waiting for us at the table and we will be back !
