Restaurants Ice Creamy Goodness at Diana's, Savarino's, Silly Goose and More

A recent dining column features Diana's Sweet Shoppe, where Gibson Guitar Co. transplanted a historic Michigan candy store and
None other than Jenny Piper from Pied Piper Creamery in East Nashville provides the excellent raw material for the sundaes and shakes, which include a "Diana," blended with Music City's staple GooGoo Clusters.
With spring on the way and ice cream season close behind, you can almost hear the humming of the churns. Despite the gray skies, I took a trip to Savarino's for gelato this week and am looking for an excuse to get back to East Nashville to check out the creative flavors at Pied Piper and The Silly Goose (Beet, sorghum, lemon-and-cracked pepper, anyone?).
While some might call it bathing suit season, we call it that time of year to slip into a butter pecan milkshake with two shots of espresso at Sip Cafe in at Riverside Village, where owner Mike Duguay brokers the marriage of coffee and ice cream. Duguay, another Michigan import, also owns Mike's Ice Cream Fountain at 208 Lower Broad, which makes that stretch of sidewalk a shakin' place to get a cool treat. Let the ice cream wars begin.

I'm actually working at Diana's these days. It's a great place, especially to get a sundae. I love love love Pied Piper, and it feels even more special done up just right in those old metal sundae dishes.

A butter pecan milkshake with two shots of espresso? That sounds like the best thing ever.
While visiting Nashville we stopped in for lunch and loved the experience. Everything is from a 1927 cafe, with beautiful wood paneling and booths, period lighting and great food. The soup and panini sandwich for $9 was large and tasty. But it was the hot fudge sundae that was to die for! Large, with lots of wonderful hot fudge. If you are in Nashville, try Diana's.
