The restaurant’s second Tennessee location and first Williamson County location serves fresh and seasonal Italian fare
North Italia, the modern Italian concept known for its handcrafted cuisine and cocktails, officially opens its second Tennessee location in Franklin, TN on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. Joining a location in Green Hills in neighboring Nashville, North Italia Franklin brings a fresh dining experience to the popular Aspen Grove neighborhood, a mixed-use entertainment development.
North Italia offers guests signature, seasonal Italian fare served in a bright, modern and airy atmosphere. The 7,250 square-foot space features a covered patio with 71 seats, 142 interior seats and 28 seats in the bar area. The restaurant’s upscale aesthetic and approachable atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for any dining occasion or celebration.
Executive Chef Nick Macera has been serving up food and training the kitchen staff at North Italia since 2019. A seasoned industry veteran, with experience in various kitchens, Macera joins North Italia Franklin’s team from the Washington D.C. location. Accompanying Nick Macera is general manger, Megan Faulkner. Faulkner is also well-versed with North Italia’s structure, as she joins the Franklin location from the Nashville/Green Hills location just north of Franklin.
