Best Place for a Lazy Lunch
Savarino's Cucina
Never mind that Savarino's serves some of the best sandwiches, pasta and pastries in town (not to mention a stuffed pepper to die for). Head in for lunch any weekday, and there's a better-than-50/50 chance you'll be treated to conversation with some of Nashville's most colorful characters, among them John Prine manager (and Oh Boy Records head) Al Bunetta, music industry vet Mike Figlio, businessman Ed Pontieri, musician Nick Pellegrino and former Michael Jackson manager (and Goodfellas actor) Frank Dileo (all of whom have sandwiches named after them). And then there's the star of the show, Corrado Savarino himself, who's got even more—hmm, what's Italian for je ne sais quoi?—than the divine orrecchiette with broccoli rabe. Your food may not arrive in a hurry, but the wait alone is more fulfilling than most meals in town. —JACK SILVERMAN
