    Chicken parmigiana with angel hair pasta at Mattina Bella
    Mike H.

    Met family for brunch at Mattina Bella today and enjoyed it as we always do. Mattina Bella never disappoints. Lovely surroundings, excellent service, and great breakfast favorites, sandwiches, and salads . Especially enjoyed the blackened redfish salad with their house vinaigrette dressing.

    Wow!! What an amazing restaurant in downtown Covington. I've been here for both lunch and breakfast and both meals have been 11/10. My lunch meal was spaghetti and meatballs and it was very flavorful. For breakfast, I got the blueberry waffle and omg it was DELICIOUS!!! I would say this is the best breakfast place on the north shore in my opinion and it is always packed so It's definitely a fan favorite! The service is always very friendly too.

    Today's lunch at Mattina Bella was my St. Patrick's Day is Irish-American tradition meal of Cornbeef, Cabbage, Carrots and Cornbread. First, I would like to say this lunch meal hit the spot (I was Hungry). I did clean my plate with only a couple of pet peeves. But presentation is a C- and it was mildly warm and not hot. Service was alright/ok but you would think as a "Special of the Day" your food would come quicker. I guess they had to go kill the animal to get the protein. Cabbage is not that's expensive but for close to $20 you'd expect a better portion on vegetables. One thing that sticks with me since my early cooking days: Cut the same, cook the same but whoever was on the Carrots also forgot the seasoning and said F-it! ‍. Lastly, if you are going to provide bottled condiments, atl least make sure the tip/caps are clean....I hate this. Need to travel with my own Louisiana Hotsauce. Customer service was subpar as during my meal, no check up, refill, how was your meal or nothing. Shock However, the young lady was quick with my check and bill but she said "No Rush"! So I paid and sat there for another 2O minutes, sipping my drink! .

    Always good quality and great service! I highly recommend Mattina Bella to anyone looking for a great breakfast or lunch spot in downtown Covington.

    Louisiana eggs Benedict

    Brunch and lunch spot located in historic downtown Covington. I have been about 10 years since I have been here and the food is even better now. I started with an Irish coffee which was delicious. For my meal I had the Louisiana crab eggs Benedict. It was the best eggs Benedict I have ever had in my life. Instead of a English muffin, it was a grits cake. It was also talked with andouille and crawfish.

    Just finished up another great meal at MB. This time it was lunch and I had the company of my husband. I got the Redfish salad and swapped the pepper jelly dressing for the balsamic its typically served with. Since moving to LA, I cannot get enough of pepper jelly and this dressing was excellent. It was a great compliment and contrast to the salty bleu cheese and tender/flaky/flavorful blackened redfish. My husband had a chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. Cooked at his temperature of choice, he had gouda and added onions for thanksgiving extra flavor and texture. We had mismosas and coffee with the meal. A simple touch to finish up the complexly flavored meal. As usual, service was excellent and the restaurant was filled with lively families enjoying a perfect weather Saturday!

    The food was great, service was good, mimosas were also good. Can't complain at all! Very cute place, noisy but cute

    I hate you're about two or three times a month and I used to just get the breakfast items but lately I've been eating the daily specials and they are some of the best on the North Shore. The roast beef, mashed potatoes, and vegetables I had and they have every Tuesday what is the best tasting roast beef I have ever had in my lifetime and believe me I've had a lot. Today the chicken with mushrooms and artichokes was also very good. The staff here is amazing and the owner is pretty cute to.

    My wife and I live in Kenner and have been enjoying lunch once a month for many years with another…read morecouple who live on the North Shore. We have our favorites on both sides of the lake, but I recently read some great reviews somewhere online about Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen with locations in both Mandeville and Covington. After speaking with our friends we decided to dine at the Covington location of Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen. Inside the entrance, the restaurant posts their policy that you will not be seated at a table until all parties have arrived, which is understandable considering the huge amount of business they have. My wife and I arrived before our friends who were running a little late. The Hostess, Jill, asked me how many in our party and I told her four, but the other couple was running late and would be arriving in about 20 minutes. We took a seat in the empty waiting area inside the entrance. The restaurant appeared to have only one or two empty tables available inside when I arrived on a beautiful day. Five to ten minutes later the waiting area was full (approx. ten people). The restaurant was extremely noisy with all their customers enjoying their meals and conversing with friends/family. I noticed that there were approximately ten tables located in front of the restaurant in a beautiful covered patio, so I asked Jill if we could have a table outside once our friends arrived in about five more minutes because one of them was somewhat physically handicapped. There was only one empty table in the patio at the time. Jill explained that since she had a reservation in the patio for a party of eight that would be arriving soon, so she had been holding it for another available outside table to put together to accommodate this party. However, she said she would gladly give us the table. By this time, the waiting room was full of people and overflowing outside the entrance. I had given my seat to a lady and stepped outside to wait for my friends, who I noticed had arrived and parking their car. I told Jill and she seated us at the table in the patio. The four of us ordered different things on the menu, which were fantastic. Although the restaurant was packed, the waitress AND Jill visited our table several times to ensure we were enjoying our meals. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchens' ambiance, service, menu items (along with portion sizes) and prices were absolutely astounding. We were all very impressed and grateful for a beautiful dining experience. Special thanks to Jill who was abundantly pleasant to deal with. Crazy Pig Southern Kitchen certainly placed Jill in the right position.

She highly recommended the Blacken Shrimp and Grits. When my food came out, it was a large plate with plenty of shrimp. The food was amazing. I got my Southern/ Creole craving fulfilled.

We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.
