Review
About
Folk is a wood-fired pizza and pasta restaurant in East Nashville from the same team behind Rolf and Daughters, and the culinary DNA shows: serious about ingredients, thoughtful about wine, zero pretension. The restaurant is built around live-fire cooking and a kitchen that knows when to step back and let the product do the work.
The pizzas are excellent: thin, perfectly blistered sourdough pies. The clam pizza is the move — order it with a glass of sherry. The pasta program is handmade and seasonal. The sourdough with seaweed butter is a menu staple worth ordering every single time. The wine list is natural-leaning and carefully chosen, and the staff can actually talk about it.
The space is warm and loud in the right way. It carries the energy of a neighborhood restaurant that the neighborhood actually loves rather than one performing that role. It consistently smells like bread in here, which is impossible not to like.
Folk is Michelin Recommended. Consistently excellent and one of East Nashville's defining restaurants.

The pizza and pasta restaurant East Nashville deserved — perfectly blistered clam pizza, handmade pasta, sourdough with seaweed butter, and a room full of people genuinely happy to be there. Michelin Recommended.
Folk is owned and run by the same team behind Rolf and Daughters, and the culinary DNA shows — serious about ingredients, thoughtful about wine, no pretension. The restaurant is built around a wood-burning oven. Almost everything makes contact with the fire at some point.
The pizzas are thin, perfectly blistered sourdough pies. The clam pizza is the standout — order it with a glass of sherry and you'll understand why it's become a signature. The pasta program is handmade and seasonal. The sourdough with seaweed butter is worth ordering every time. The natural wine list is carefully chosen and the staff can actually talk about it.

Folk is Michelin Recommended in the inaugural American South Guide.
