Pros

Ella's on 2nd is a hidden gem in the heart of the city, offering an authentic Italian dining experience with a cozy atmosphere and attentive service. The menu boasts a wide variety of traditional Italian dishes, including fresh pasta, seafood, and meat options, all made with high-quality ingredients. Standout dishes include the Bruschetta, Lasagna, and Chicken Parmesan, which are all cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality and quantity of food.

Cons

Some guests have mentioned that the restaurant can get quite noisy, especially on weekends, and the seating can be a bit cramped. Additionally, the menu may not offer as many vegetarian or gluten-free options as some diners might prefer. While the service is generally attentive, some servers may not be as knowledgeable about the menu or wine list as others.

Needed some good food while staying at the Gaylord Opryland with the kids. Did not disappoint! The meatballs were a hit but the Star was the Pork Chop! Such a unique, tangy, juicy dish. The Shrimp appetizer also had a very nice flavor profile!

The restaurant’s ambiance was perfect for a date night, offering an intimate setting with dim lighting. Our waiter was fantastic—despite managing...Read More

Ambiance was very nice, great service, and the food was very good. Not the best Italian I've ever had, but that's coming from someone raised in Jersey surrounded by authentic Italian food. The shrimp scampi app was amazing though and so we're the mozzarella sticks.
