Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

I have had dreams about this buffet and my mom and I go as much as we can. The buffet is small, but the food is so delicious and fresh that it doesn't matter. Then again, in most cases the smaller the buffet, the better it is. The area is clean and I love the decorations. The staff is friendly and so kind, and they're pretty kid friendly which is a plus in my book. My one year old enjoys their chicken and dumplings the most. Plus, your glass never stays empty for too long. This is a wonderful place to eat!

Everything on the menu looked great. The crab cakes were incredible. We got the crab leg special, with the Italian mashed potatoes. The crab was delicious, because it was crab! But, there was a little spiciness, in the center that added to it. The mashed potatoes were dangerously good. So, glad we stopped in. It was really the wine that drew us in, but the meal and service was great.

I'm a Californian driving through, so I wasn't sure what I would find in Tupelo. What I found was delicious food, at incredibly low prices (I would have paid at least double in Los Angeles), good wine, and above all, some of the nicest owners you'll ever meet. They care about the business and their customers and it shows, from the decor to the food to the conversation. I don't know when I'll be back in Tupelo, but if I am, I know where I'll be eating and drinking, and I know where I'll tell any friends passing through to spend their money.

I was a little skeptical at first mostly because when you enter you see the bar area and there were a bunch of bikers sitting there so I got nervous. The "formal" dining area is in the back. It's quite small so I don't really see it working for a party of three or more. The food was amazing!!! From our apetizer to desert every bite was delicious Italian heaven. Going back for sure.

If you want to be continously interrupted during your meal by an obnoxious man who was an employee off duty, this is the place to go ladies. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere, eeehhh.

They need more servers badly and the beer is served in larger and smaller glasses for the same price...wtf? But I heard the food was good...who knows. It's like a sports bar/ Italian restaurant. Confusing...

Wow...I just created a Yelp account while I'm still sitting here to say how amazing the veggie fettuccine alfredo I just had is. The head chef/owner Amanda has created a very easy going and playful atmosphere and wonderful menu. I'm passing through on business and I was not expecting great food. The service was amazing. Great DJ. If I come back I won't go anywhere else to eat. Incredible job everyone. Just wow. I hope my job sends me this way again...

I'm really disappointed with this place. I've been there a couple of times for lunch, and it was okay, but a friend kept bugging me to try it for dinner because there's a different menu and supposedly a whole different vibe. My friend was correct about the menu, but "different" and "better" are not synonymous. If anything, the dinner menu is full of more Sysco truck offerings than the lunch buffet, only more expensive. Don't serve me "authentic Italian" food with sauce from a can. Pasta with canned sauce, shredded cheese from a plastic bag, and a big ole piece of fried meat is not authentic Italian. It's cafeteria-line faux rustica, and it stinks. The friends who dined with me felt the same about their entrees. As far as the "vibe," well, it's about the same as lunch, only with glasses instead of plastic cups, although two of our three drink glasses arrived with lipstick smudges on them. One of the replacement glasses did as well. Service was not good. More accurately, the waiter was inattentive. He and a surly-looking guy who also works there hung around the kitchen area together and did a great job of ignoring the dining area adjacent to the bar. I think the waiter knew he was setting himself up for a lower-end tip, because he gave all three of us our change rounded down to the lowest dollar, keeping the difference for himself. (This has also happened to me at lunch, so I wasn't surprised.) After that little move, I decided that he could keep that as his entire tip. If I could give this place a negative rating, I would.

I went with several others while we were in town on business. I had the Lobster BLT and was not impressed. The Lobster was mock. Other at the table had the Pasta Trio and seemed to like it. Very large portions. Others had the fries ravioli and Chicken Parmesan. Both said theirs was good. Personally I won't be back because I wasn't I Pressed with the sandwich or the service. Very friendly but not very efficient.

Really good unassuming place. Located in an alley in downtown you might miss it, but don't. The portion sizes are outlandish do unless you're a competitive eater plan on a to go box. The service is impeccable. We were the only ones there and the owner came out some with us and even gave us a free appetizer just so we could try it.

Stopped in here late Friday night for a meal, and was pleasantly surprised. We sat in the back of the place which in considered the 'restaurant' part of it. It was a nice, quiet atmosphere which I enjoyed. To start I had the Tomato & Mozz salad that had a white balsamic vinaigrette on it. The salad was fantastic. As my meal I had the Eggplant Parmesan which surprised me as it was delicious as well. The wife had the filet special. Which was pretty big for a filet, I believe the server said it was somewhere between 10-12oz, but came with a regular ole baked potato, I thought being the special it could've came with something a little more appealing but the wife enjoyed her meal very much. Our table also had the crab cakes which I was told were really good. After our meal, we headed to the bar and listened to the great acoustic set from the musician as well. Overall it was good experience and good food, definitely worth a stop if your in the area.

I went in today for the lunch buffet. They had chicken and dressing, mash potatoes, green beans, rolls, home made fried chicken tenders and French fries, and a Mac and cheese burger topped off with great chocolate chip cookies. On top of it all they have a great salad bar. It is very reasonably priced. They also have a great dinner menue. It's definitely an upscale environment. They have a great wine menu and live entertainment in the weekends. It took me too long to discover this place -now I'm hooked.

I've heard the food is good unfortunately the 2 times I've been I've yet to get any. First time I flagged down a server who informed me they were out of what I wanted and I never saw them again. Second time I didn't even get that far. I gave up after that. I was told by people at work to go for the lunch buffet that way you don't have to wait for anything other than your check. I beg whoever is in charge around there to do something because everyone I know jokes about how bad the service is, that can't be good for business.

We stopped here as we passed through Tupelo. I was first attracted to the wonderful decor-dark wood tables and light fabrics. We could see the chef (and owner) busy in the kitchen. Our first treat was a complimentary serving of fresh warm bread and marinara sauce. I am very fussy about sauce and I will tell you this is the best I have ever had. We then decided to get the Italian Nachos. Who would have thought! Delicious, more marinara and other fresh ingredients. The chef/owner also bought us out a bruschetta sample just because! Our main dish was a baby bella and spinach cream sauce on a bed of fettucini with fried crab balls. YUM! I asked her when I could buy her sauce in a jar and she said she is working on it. Next time I am traveling this area, I will be going back. I have never had a more personable experience and great food at the same time. Don't miss it!

I walked in one Tuesday evening. I saw no sign telling me to wait or be seated. No one greeted me. So I sat at the bar. I waited for 5 minutes. In that time I saw no host, no bartender, no waiter, no employees at all. Not even a sign saying "back in 20 minutes". Nothing. So I left.

Great food!! The cook came out and asked us how much we like everything. Which it was all excellent. It was a nice atmosphere and a good experience.
(5)Suzanne H.
We stopped in to the wine bar on Sunday afternoon for a cold drink and wound up staying a couple of hours, enjoying some of Amanda's amazing crab cakes with homemade remoulade sauce, and her to-die-for bruschetta. Enjoyed chatting with Dave, one of the owners and bartenders, about all things Arizona and Afghanistan, and sampling a couple of wines they had on hand. Friendly place, great food, local flavor....we'll definitely be back!

Once a month I get together with my closest friends over dinner and we are big supporters of locally owned restaurants in Tupelo so we chose Nautical Whimsey as the place to dine and catch up over good food and a great atmosphere. The place was nice, small and cozy. However, it's unfortunate that within 10-15 minutes of being there my thoughts on what my dining experience would be like began to dimenish. First, some of the staff was less than inviting, my wine glass looked like something sweet tea should be served in and it had a bad odor as if it had been sitting for a year collecting dust without being washed. The restroom had a shower stall in it with what appeard to be a dirty towel draped over the shower door along with dirty hand towels on the towel bar. Once we did finally receive our meals we had to keep asking for utensils and again, the glasses were very dirty so I'm not sure they were properly cleaned if at all. And the biggest deal breaker for me was smashing the unwelcomed small cockroach on our table in front of our food with the back of the menu. Will I be back? No but I do hope the owner will read the comments and make the necessary improvements to sustain her restaurant. I wish her luck.
