Varallo's Restaurant, established in 1907, is the oldest restaurant in Tennessee and a cherished part of Nashville's culinary history. Founded by Frank Varallo Sr., an Italian immigrant, the restaurant has become famous for its traditional chili, Southern hospitality, and family recipes passed down through generations.
Though the Varallo family no longer owns the establishment, the legacy of Varallo's Chili continues under the Peabody family, preserving the same beloved recipes for over a century. Varallo's also offers a menu that includes breakfast options and classic Southern meat-and-three dishes, making it a staple for locals and visitors alike.
