Rolf and Daughters
Tennessee
Rolf and Daughters centres its Germantown dining room on handmade pasta and the changing produce of nearby farms. The Nashville restaurant has a lively, intimate atmosphere, with a menu that gives seasonal ingredients room to lead. Pasta is the constant, while its accompaniments and the wider selection evolve through the year. The approach rewards ordering across the menu, especially when vegetables and other seasonal dishes offer a different perspective on the kitchen’s work. The drinks programme follows similar interests. Wines come from small, family-run producers, while cocktails make use of independent spirits and seasonal ingredients. The bar also keeps a varied selection of amari, eau de vie, agave spirits and whiskeys. The restaurant recommends reservations, although some bar seats are held for walk-ins. For a dinner in Germantown, Rolf and Daughters provides a comfortable setting with enough culinary detail to make the meal feel special, whether the focus is a favourite pasta shape or a bottle worth discovering.
