This really was just a moment to reflect on the past 5 years and City House’s place in the Nashville food scene. Tandy is frank about the fact that he doesn’t worry about what everyone else is doing. His job is to create delicious food for his customers and provide a great experience, which is what he concentrates on day in and day out. He’s never on social media, so his feedback comes from customers themselves, as in eye-to-eye, not tweet to re-tweet.

The food is original, yet feels familiar at the same time. The ambiance is vibrant, yet cozy–it is a restaurant that manages to perfectly walk the line of uniquely creative and comfortable, kind of like the city of Nashville, itself! Plus, I pretty much crave the belly ham pizza on a weekly basis. So while I’m thankful for many incredible dining options in Music City, City House will always be on my “must go” list.” — Cassie Kelley, Nashvillian, SB guest writer, friend and blogger behind Womanista.

City House in Germantown is one of Nashville's top restaurants serving creative Italian dishes, pizza, and southern classics with a twist. Chef/Owner Tandy Wilson, a 2016 James Beard Award winner, is a Nashville native who spent time in Italy and California before opening the restaurant in his hometown in 2007.

Groups of 10 or more are required to order family style. This means your group will select 3 starters, 1 or 2 pizza types, and 3 mains.

Whenever people ask me where to eat in Nashville, Sunday Supper at City House tops my list. Chef Tandy Wilson draws inspiration from communal meals, where dining tables are loaded up with a full spread, allowing diners to taste a variety of things and share a family style meal. When I grab a group of friends, have a few of the innovative cocktails and start ordering from the menu, I know no one in Nashville (or the world) is eating as good as we are. We’ll start off with a few of the “pork snacks” like headcheese or pork rinds, items that were never seen in Nashville until Tandy put them on the menu but are now cherished and sought after.

The menu may always change, but you know the end result is amazing, the surroundings are welcoming, and you can talk football as it is, after all, on a Sunday. Recently, I was down at City House hours before they opened with fellow SB’er Rowanne McKnight. Owner and Executive Chef Tandy Wilson was drinking up his caffeine out of a mason jar as he set out to start the day. Pastry Chef Rebekah Turshen was finishing some desserts that were making us drool and the vibe was definitely laid back.

The James Beard-nominated City House has become a Nashville staple for its creative spin on Italian dishes. The weekly Sunday Supper with its ever-changing lineup is always a hot event, but be sure to make reservations in advance. This Germantown spot is also a great place for wine lovers.
