Message from the Business
The casual dining elegance at ZOLA is one of a kind. Tucked away on a quiet side street off West End, ZOLA invites you to join us for a romantic dinner for two, an important business meeting or a fun night out with friends.
Always an innovator on the Nashville fine dining scene, ZOLA's chef and owner Debra Paquette takes diners on a magical culinary journey around the Mediterranean. Spanish, Italian and French cuisine are the main influences on the menu, but they also serve Moroccan and Greek food. Chef Debra's Mediterranean fusion has a New South twist that features items like pecan-fried beet salad and grilled venison.
