Why We Like It

Franklin might be 400 miles or so from the nearest body of saltwater, but at this polished Italian seafood restaurant from chef Frank Pullara of Culacino fame, the distance disappears the moment you open the menu full of raw bar specialties, housemade shellfish pastas, whole roasted fish, and more.

Need to Know

With a focus on sustainably sourced seafood and modern selections from both land & ocean, the menu at Culamar dives into authentic seaside Italian fare to capture the essence of being ‘al mare’ without leaving Tennessee. To complement the cuisine, the restaurant’s alluring beverage menu is buoyed with wines touched by the coast, along with a cocktail program featuring reimagined classics and Culamar signatures.

Helmed by celebrated chef Frank Pullara, Culamar is the sister concept to Culaccino, the Italian restaurant beloved by Nashville-area locals and visitors alike since its opening in January 2021. Moored together with a shared love of quality ingredients, impeccable service, and comprehensive culinary training, the two establishments are dedicated to introducing diners to the tastes of Italy.
