City House

City House is one of those restaurants where most of the ingredients sound foreign but come together to make something magical. In a homey brick building in Germantown, this Goop-approved haunt is a reliable Nashville classic. Chef Tandy Wilson does simple Italian so well that you would be remiss not to order multiple pizzas and pastas for the table.

With interesting preparations of seasonal veggies to complement the main course, City House never misses the mark. The menu switches over to a family-style Sunday Supper every week, and pork is usually the star; scrapple gets an upgrade with pepper sauce and the thin-crust options include a light and flavorful pizza with peppers, corn, ricotta, garlic and oregano.
