If the table wants Italian-American food but the night is not a splurge, Hog & Hominy is the easier call. If the meal is meant to feel more planned, Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen earns the upgrade.

Napa Café is the cross-shop for a polished dinner outside the Italian-American lane, Mosa Asian Bistro is the safer move for groups that want broader flavor range, Half Shell is the better pick when seafood is the point.
Pulito Osteria is the closer Italian-American peer by price tier, but it is outside the Memphis set. Use it as a reference point if comparing regional $$$ Italian-American meals, not as a same-night backup.
