The Spot
Nicky's Coal Fired sits in The Nations as a neighborhood Italian restaurant, family owned and operated by Caroline and Tony since 2016. The oven is the draw: Tennessee's only coal-burning pizza oven, firing sourdough-crust pies made from scratch daily, with classic and seasonal specialties on rotation.

Pasta is handmade in house using imported Italian flour, spanning traditional family recipes and dishes built on locally sourced ingredients. A full bar backs it up, with an Italian-focused wine program, Peroni on tap, and a broad range of spirit-free options.

Beyond the main dining room, Nicky's operates The Maxwell Room, an all-inclusive private events venue hosting weddings, corporate events, and parties for groups up to 150.
