The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Italian Craft Meets the Steakhouse at Carne Mare

Carne Mare brings together two enduring dining traditions — the Italian table and the American steakhouse — at its address in Nashville, Tennessee. The name itself signals the concept: a place where the richness of Italian cuisine shapes the way prime cuts are sourced, seasoned, and served.

A Wine Program Worth Noting

The restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2023, a recognition that speaks directly to the seriousness of its cellar. That award is not handed out lightly — it reflects both the depth of the list and the care taken in pairing it with food. For guests who treat wine as part of the meal rather than an afterthought, that credential matters.

Dinner in Nashville's South Side

Located at 300 12th Ave. S., Carne Mare operates as a dinner destination — the kind of place suited to a deliberate evening rather than a quick stop. The Italian steakhouse format lends itself naturally to that pace: courses that build, a bottle that opens up over time, and a room that rewards lingering.
