“ Great food and service! This is easily one of my favorite Italian spots in the Nashville area. The fettuccine Alfredo is so delicious! ”
“ This place is amazing! The drinks, apps and entrees are top notch. Been there about 5 times and impressed every time. Notables are the cioppino, homemade pastas, the charcuterie, bolognese, crab stuffed mushrooms, the cocktails!! You really can't go wrong. ”
“ Good Italian pod and small plates. The plates with homemade spaghetti are al dente. The chicken in Chicken Alfredo was also overcooked. The Bolognese was very good. There is a children's menu with simple pasta. There is a full bar, and a short but diverse wine list. The interior is bright, clean and simple. Service at the bar was a little slow. ”
“ Very good food! Makes me feel like I'm in Europe, and the servants are very knowledgeable and helpful. ”
“ Very good Italian food. Everything was made fresh. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. The service was great as well. We told them we were headed to the Opry so they made sure we were gone in time to get there but we still didn't feel rushed. Will definitely go back. ”
“ Incredible scratch Italian cuisine. Fabulous service. We were greeted by the husband of the owner. He was so welcoming and friendly! We waited a few minutes for our table and ordered drinks at the bar. Really cool vibe! White string lights and music. Dimmed lighting made our evening warm and relaxing. Ed ordered the meatballs for a starter. They were some of the best we have had! The tomato sauce is incredible. My husband ordered the lamb Osso Bucco and it was out of this world! The pasta with shrimp scampi was incredible. Fresh made pasta cooked perfectly al dente. Cannot say enough about Chrysalis. Make a resy! Not a huge place so a resy is smart. ”
“ We had a fantastic experience at Chrysalis! The food was incredible, flavorful. The portion sizes were a bit small for the price, but still worth it to do every once in a while. Our waitress was so kind and welcoming! She frequented the table and kept our water filled and always asked if we needed anything else. She gave great suggestions from the menu as well. Both the peach and the mango spritzers were delicious, and the Pig and Fig flatbread was phenomenal. The ONLY knock I had on this place was the music. It was so dang loud that sitting a booth, it felt like you were yelling to talk to the other side of the table. It was also quite warm inside, we all felt extremely warm and slightly sweaty. Overall, it's a nice quaint date night spot! ”
“ Went in for an early dinner because we had plans later that night. Lucy was our server and she was fabulous. We ordered 3 small plates and shared. All were cooked to perfection and tasted great. Had one of their craft cocktails which I highly recommend. The staff at the bar combined many ingredients to make this drink delicious and easy to drink down. The dessert was a salted caramel gelato with hot espresso poured over er r the top. ”
