My husband was scratching around looking for somewhere to eat in McComb and happened upon this…read moreplace. I didn't even read the yelp reviews because I knew it had to be good food based on reading the menu. Once we were waiting for our meals I decided to check out yelp. Any review below 4 stars had huge red flags. Let's address those right out of the gate. 4 bites for a portion. Really? Let's be honest in our review. Unless your mouth is the size of a Mack truck, that's an exaggeration to say 4 bites. Maybe too small for your preference but our plates along with all we saw go by were plenty for anyone eating a normal serving. I even took some with me and I'm a pig. I always eat more than a healthy portion. The pasta wasn't cooked enough. People. Al dente. To the tooth. We overcook pasta in the US. That's why it runs our blood sugar up. The glycemic index goes up the more you cook it. Now you don't have to conform. You're welcome to ruin a good steak by cooking it well done and you're welcome to order your house made pasta cooked until it's floppy. (Insert me biting my fist and sobbing) That's on you but don't blame the kitchen for cooking good Italian American food the right way. Our candle wasn't lit. Wahhhhh. seriously? These are humans. They can forget. Just ask someone to light the candle and stop leaving ridiculous reviews on yelp that don't help people decide if the food is good. Now for our review: We were met by a young lady who was pleasant and seated us right away. Mind you it's lunch on a Sunday. By the time we left, there were just a couple vacant tables. Our server, Jonathon was very pleasant, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My husband ordered the chicken Parmesan, but he tweaked it to his liking. He asked for his fettuccine to be served on the side rather than under the chicken. He also asked that the Marina still be on the chicken Parmesan, but that his pasta be tossed in an Alfredo - cream sauce. I ordered the spicy rigatoni with the breaded chicken cutlet. Pictures of both are below. The kitchen did forget his marinara sauce on his chicken but the server caught it as soon as he put the plate down and brought Mike a ramekin of marinara for his chicken. Both dishes were incredible. Everything was cooked perfectly. We chose not to stuff ourselves into oblivion so we asked her to go containers and we also got a piece of the cookies and cream cheesecake to go which I also included a picture of in the to go container so don't talk about how ugly the picture is, that's on me. They do serve focaccia bread with dinner. The server said the first order is on the house and after that you pay for subsequent orders. You can ask for focaccia with lunch, which we did not do because we were not aware until after we saw someone else getting theirs. As far as prices, people....we are in a post covid inflated era. This is house cooked, not bought precooked from Sysco and heated in a microwave. If you think you can cook this type of food cheaper at home, try it. I dare you. I cook. A lot and it costs a lot. Have you made a homemade cheesecake lately? No?why? Because it's expensive and a lot of trouble. I amke 1 every couple of months. I sell something to pay for it and gripe the entire time about how much trouble it is. Stop your belly aching about how much it costs and just go to Olive Garden and eat bread sticks and bottomless soup or salad. The restaraunt is cozy with white cloth table clothes that add a touch of elegance but it doesn't feel too froo-froo. We live an hour away from this place and we are excited about driving back. Keep in mind that we are old and don't like to drive anywhere and won't even drive into our town right here to get food. Don't pay any attention to the bad reviews. Those people either don't have good taste, are petty or they don't get out very often.

Nice atmosphere, and great food. The calamari appetizer could have been better. No seasoning at…read moreall. Tasted like I was eating fried flour. Too much fennel in the marinara it came with. The lasagna was great and my dates shrimp scampi was delicious according to her. Our waitress was amazing. Will try it out again!!
