Yolan Yolan is a love letter to Italy offering refined Italian cuisine, regional w**es, and warm hospitality in the heart of downtown Nashville.

From espressos at brunch to Aperitivo and evening tasting menus, every detail reflects the beauty of Italian dining. A true love letter to Italy, Yolan is an authentic experience of Italian cuisine, w**e, and hospitality. The Joseph hotel’s Italian restaurant in downtown Nashville pays homage to the founding family's heritage and Joseph's wife, Yolanda. By evening, Yolan offers a refined yet spirited dining experience centered on housemade pastas, wood-fired meats, and seasonal dishes shaped by Italy’s diverse regions and timeless traditions. Guests may dine à la carte or indulge in Esperienza Yolan, a curated five-course tasting menu. By day, the restaurant welcomes guests for breakfast and weekend brunch, where Italian-inflected morning fare meets warm hospitality and a vibrant espresso bar. Housemade pastries, seasonal specialties, and signature spritzes complement both leisurely brunches and quick starts to the day. From sunrise to evening’s end, Yolan is a celebration of Italy’s culinary heart — thoughtful, generous, and beautifully composed.

Busiate arrives with the savory richness of pork sausage and broccolini, finished with freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Toasted pumpkin seeds add a roasted nuttiness, while chili oil leaves a warm, persistent finish.

A warm expression of Sicilia as the season turns to fall.

The salinity of the sea, the brightness of citrus, the richness of handmade pasta. A crisp pour of white w**e between plates, another dish passed across the table, and candlelight settling in as daylight fades.

Reserve your table at Yolan.

The first cut cracks through a golden crust before sinking into the softness beneath. Fried Eggplant is topped with seasoned ricotta, then served with citrus yogurt, tomato oil, and herbs. A familiar Sicilian ingredient takes on a decidedly Yolan expression, from the delicacy of its layers to the crispness of its golden exterior.

Autumn finds a delicious, hearty expression in Fennel Pork Sausage, where savory richness is punctuated by blistered grapes, softened by silken potato purée, and intensified with concentrated pork jus. Fresh chives finish the plate with a clean, aromatic edge.

Silken steelhead trout is dressed with citrus conserva and a caper and quince vinaigrette, vivid with acidity against the richness of the fish. Almonds crackle between the tender slices, followed by the lush, fruity roundness of olive oil.

Bright, bracing, and made to open the meal.

Individually rolled, shaped by hand, and finished with intention, pasta is not only a staple, but a foundation at Yolan. What begins with flour and practiced hands takes its final form glossed with sauce, finished with Parmigiano, or scattered with toasted breadcrumbs.

For National Pasta Day, we celebrate the craft we return to daily, from the first turn of dough to the first forkful.

Fire-roasted squab carries a deep, savory intensity, softened by silky polenta and the ripeness of stone fruit. The final pour of concentrated game jus comes tableside, settling into the polenta and around each slice, drawing the sweetness of the fruit through the richness of the jus.

Warm, salty plates embrace bitter botanicals and bright acidity, the contrasts that give aperitivo its particular pleasure. At the Yolan bar, the first pour arrives alongside the aroma of warm focaccia, the crisp bite of fried olives, Sardine Toast, and a generous selection of savory plates, daily from 3 pm to 5 pm.

Recast with a darker, more decadent character, Cannoli al Cioccolato expands the familiar pleasures of Sicilia’s most iconic pastry into something silkier, deeper, and more complex.

A fitting final taste of Sicilia at Yolan

Delicate in texture yet layered in flavor, Halibut captures a softer expression of Sicilia, where the freshness of the sea meets the warmth of the land.

Wilted greens, couscous alla Trapanese, and an aromatic carrot-ginger broth surround the halibut with gentle sweetness and savory warmth, finished with a subtle hint of ginger.
