Atlanta-based Italian restaurant concept Yeppa & Co. is preparing to make its Tennessee debut with a new location in Nashville’s Gulch neighborhood, according to recent reporting by The Nashville Post.
The upcoming restaurant is expected to open inside the Caption by Hyatt hotel at 118 12th Avenue South, with the concept’s website listing the Nashville location as “coming 2027.”
According to Yeppa & Co.’s website, Atlanta restaurateurs Pietro Gianni and Stephen Peterson first opened the concept in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood in 2023, then expanded with a second location along the city’s Beltline earlier this year.
The concept operates under Y Hospitality, the restaurant group also behind Atlanta concepts Forza Storico and Storico Fresco. According to Y Hospitality’s social media channels, the group is also preparing to launch a third Yeppa-related concept, Y Bar, in Atlanta.
Yeppa & Co. is known for a menu centered around handmade pastas, focaccia-style flatbreads, seafood dishes, cocktails, wine, and shareable Italian plates served in a lively atmosphere.
The restaurant will join the growing dining lineup at the 210-room Caption by Hyatt hotel, which opened at the end of 2024 at 118 12th Ave. S., on the site formerly home to Whiskey Kitchen.
Additional details surrounding the Nashville location, including a more specific opening timeline and additional project information, have not yet been announced.
