    Boiled peanuts
    Elliott W.

    We visited a couple of weeks ago while visiting our son at Ole Miss. the energy of the kitchen was infectious as we ordered! Such hustle. The smell of such goodness was out of this world. Servings were enormous. We sent the boy home with leftovers for days. I had a wide noodle pasta and the giant meatball. So good. The other meals at our table were also outstanding. The staff went overboard to be kind and helpful. Anyone on here who says otherwise is lying.

    Large order of bread
    Mike M.

    I am happy to report that Oxford has a really good Italian restaurant. I had dinner here earlier this week and enjoyed every minute of it. It is a small restaurant inside with seating for maybe around 25 diners? It also has outdoor seating that will seat more than that if the weather is cooperating., We were fortunate that our party of 5 was promptly seated and we decided to go family style with our choices. We asked for two large orders of their bread at $10 each, two orders of fried mozzarella caprese for appetizers and then three orders of the pappardelle bolognese for $18 each, With 5 of us we hoped that would be enough food. Boy were we wrong! The homemade bread arrived first on two platters. It was a lot of bread to say the least and it tasted very good. You want this bread. It was warm and had plenty of shaved cheese on top with parsley. Then the other two items arrived at the same time about 15 minutes later. The plates of fried mozzarella caprese (sorry no picture) were delicious with the fresh tasting tomatoes and fried cheese. Get this. You won't be disappointed. Finally when the pappardelle bolognese arrived we all realized we ordered way too much food. The 3 bowls had a lot of content in them. The pappardelle pasta with its big ribbons of pasta was plentiful with plenty of the bolognese sauce. This dish was delicious and very comforting. The meat in the sauce were steak bits I believe and just added to the pleasure. It was a fine tasting pasta dish. Table service was warm and friendly. Two reasons I am giving a 5. One is the taste of the food. All 3 items we ordered were excellent in taste. The food quality here is high. The second reason is price versus quantity. After finishing, some of our party took home the leftovers. Lucky them. We had practically one full order of bread left and one entire bowl of the pasta. The pappardelle bolognese, for example, at $18 is more than enough for two people to share and have a some left to take home. If it just two people dining get the small order of bread for $4. In other words the portions here are huge and prices very reasonable. Sorry budidn't take enough pictures. Oxford is fortunate to have Tarasque Cucina.

    Giant meatball!

    This is a hidden gem in the back of the strip center. Friendly service, great recommendation. They are quick with great customer service. Order at counter but they service table. The food was absolutely fabulous. We got the butter, bean hummus with bread but had to add a side of the amazing bread, so yummy! We also got the kale salad it included beets so pretty and tasty! The Pappadella Bolognese was so delicious, along with the giant meatball, tge sausage penne pasta was so good with a little kick. Cute place, inside and outside dining! Its BYOB but there a liquor store in front you can buy your bottle of wine of choice! Love the food!

The table had ordered a fried pickles but it was a bit too salty for me. The catfish was great, seemed pretty fresh and it didn't have any metallic taste. The sweet potato casserole was just the right amount of sweet and savory. I was going between the catfish and sweet potato to balance out the flavors. The fried okra was a bit bland and definitely needed the sauce. The service was great - attentive and gave great advice on food options. The interior fits the diner appearance and everything looked pretty clean and tidy. Other people in the party enjoyed their poboys and hash brown casseroles.

Heard we had to try Ajax, the diner, not the soap. We stopped in for lunch before heading to Nashville airport to come home. The diner is about what you'd expect inside. Old, kitschy and full of decor. We sat in a booth an were greeted by a waitress promptly for drink orders. Cokes and waters. They deliver the coke in a neat Ajax cup. I ordered the chicken fried steak. Wife ordered the chicken and dumplings and step son ordered catfish. Everything arrived very quickly and everything was hot and southern deliciousness, except the corn bread. The corn bread was dry and not very good at all. Pretty sure it was yesterday's leftover bread or someone needs to pull it 5 minutes sooner from the oven. Unanimous at the table, Everton e had garb corn bread. No big deal. The chicken fried steak was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Gravy was great and the red beans and rice side was awesome. All great flavors. Wife loved the chicken and dumplings, good flavor and tender chicken. She got a side of sweet potato casserole and loved it. I had a bite and it was delicious for certain. Step son had the fried catfish, he is not a big seafood eater but he absolutely loves the catfish. I had a big piece and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great as well. The staff was outstanding, the service was great and the food was excellent sans the cornbread. Ajax is a neat little diner in the heart of Oxford. It's a little pricey as is everything in this college town, but it was worth the visit.
