Franklin-founded Italian restaurant Culaccino has expanded by opening a second location at Nashville Yards.
The new restaurant, located within residential tower The Emory at 900 Commerce St., opened Nov. 18.
The Culaccino menu includes house-made pastas, pizzas, wine, cocktails and family-recipe-inspired dishes.
The space offers a bar and outdoor seating, as well as a private dining room and room for special events.
Since opening in downtown Franklin in 2021, executive chef and owner Frank Pullara said he has spent nearly five years building Culaccino’s reputation in the city’s dining scene and hopes to do the same in Nashville (read more here).
“The love, growth, and support from this community have been truly inspiring,” Pullara said in a release.
“Every dish I create carries memories from my childhood, cooking and learning alongside my parents, my Nonna, and my great Nonna, gathering lessons and flavors that shaped who I am today. It’s an honor to share those traditions and create new memories with the Nashville community and our amazing team,” Pullara said in a release.
