Nicoletto's Italian Kitchen

Nashville's famous hot chicken is a must try. We recommend Pepperfire to unsuspecting tourists who are hot chicken first timers because the heat is predictably consistent. But for the real thing, head to one of Nashville's original spots: Bolton's on Main or Prince's (a little further north).
