City House Continues to Impress

I have friends that don't care for City House, the simple Italian pizzeria and smoke-house in Germantown.  Frankly, I don't understand why.  Yes, it's a little pricey, but chef Tandy Wilson's smoked meats are spiced up, succulent, in-house creations.   Not to mention the digs are very personal...last night a sweet couple was celebrating their nuptials - adorned in their wedding fashions and guests on the screened in porch.  They later gathered in the upstairs room of the restaurant for an intimate reception.  

Ok, back to the food!  Three cheers for their pretzel / olive starter and the parmesan / salami dish - fabulous for sharing.  The sausage, pulled pork entree I had last night was outstanding.The kale and ham side dish was a great complement to the dish albeit a bit salty (still worth the swelling!)  My friends loved the trout and chicken entrees as well.   A clink of the glass to the mocktails on the menu - your non-drinking friends will smile at the limeade.  The only thing they lack are some decent desserts.  The blood orange sorbet was interesting but the chocolate cake was too dry and bland.  

Need I remind you...KEEP EATING OUT, NASHVILLE!
