The Nautical Whimsey is located in downtown Tupelo along Main Street. This spot serves comforting…read moreItalian food with very generous portions and a decent bar selection. THE FOOD The Highlight: The Tiramisu was the star of the evening--moist, semi-sweet, and rich. A tasty end to the meal. Starters: The freshly fired Cheese Bread was another win, topped with fluffy, warm cheese. A comforting start. The Entrees: The portion sizes for the Gnocchi, Lasagna, and Fettuccine Alfredo were enormous. You get a massive amount of food for the price. * Note: The execution didn't match the size. There were issues with texture and flavor depth across the main dishes. For example, the Fettuccine Alfredo sauce was watery and bland rather than creamy and rich. SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE The dining area has a homey, casual feel. The hostess and server were patient, and the waitress immediately swapped out a glass of red wine that had oxidized, which was appreciated. PARKING Plenty of streetside parking is available. OVERALL The Nautical Whimsey provides a large amount of food for the cost. It is a solid choice if you need to feed hungry teenagers who value quantity over culinary precision, but foodies looking for high-quality Italian might want to look elsewhere.

We ate on patio, weather was great! Wish it wasn't so noisy out there but location is the problem! Person bringing out our food was very lethargic to say the least, brought only one meal at a time, with considerable space in between! One meal was almost complete consumed by the time the 2nd person's food was delivered and for sure by number 4! Had to ask for flatware, there were no condiments on our table. Had to get from surrounding tables. Went inside to a table to get paper towels! She never ask if we needed anything else, in fact I'm Not sure she even ask who had each dish she delivered just sat it down and walked off!

I think Apple Maps found this for me, and if I didn't work 90 hours a week and they didn't close at 10 I'd probably be here a lot more than I should. Food was on point. The bar was awesome. Staff is great and I'll definitely be going back before I leave, hopefully a few more times. Great music piped through the speakers too. Such a cool place.

Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful, great customer service. I got a small sausage and mushroom thin crust to go. As I waited I took that opportunity to look around a take a few pics. They were pretty busy so my expectations were high. I don't review regular pizza places the same as a Chicago or NYC pie, that wouldn't be fair. We all know the crust makes the pizza and I didn't appreciate this crust so much. It had a strange texture and taste. I couldn't put my finger on it almost like play dough. Maybe because I got a thin crust. I would definitely revisit this place to try something else on the menu. I hope I just caught them on an off day.

I forgot we came here before and I did not like the crust. I STILL don't like the crust it's heavy, dense with no flavor!!!! Blah, the crust is not light Neapolitan style or New York style, it is just dense bread dough like. I got the hippy I think it was called which is vegetarian I want to say the toppings were fresh, but I couldn't tell. Friend got the artichoke dip appetizer. It was fine. services are fair, you order at the counter and they bring you your order but how can you be a pizza place and have horrible pizza dough? I agree with my last review, I called it "LOST" Pizza because they lost a pizza dough recipe. Next time....Pizza Hut!!! Another star for good beer selection.

Overly drenched in 'finishers' and toppings were incredibly sparse. And considering that this is Tupelo, just rated lowest cost of living in America, if you're smart you'll go local and get four times the pizza for half the price. I was barely acknowledged by the staff when I walked in to pick up my room temperature pizza. I can't speak to the ambience because I grabbed it and left. In hindsight, I should've given it back.
