It's been years since my wife and I have tried this place. We recently went twice to eat here and it is much better than what I remembered it last. The service both times was good. The first waitress was attentive and the second waitress was alright. She lost track of us for a moment but, there was another waitress who was able to refill my drink. We got calamari both times and it was delicious. Both times it wasn't greasy and the marinara sauce was good. The first time it we got just the rings and the second time we requested for tentacles also and got them. That's my favorite part is the tentacles. The crunchy texture is great. Wife got one of their Alla Casa with chicken. She loved it the past and the creamy sauce. The chicken was well cooked. One thing she did wish she had was maybe a slice of lemon to add some acidity. I got their pepperoni pizza extra crispy. I've found that is the way to order it if you do not like floppy pizza. Just the right amount of cheese. Could be a little more pepperoni or even the small cup pepperoni would make it nicer. All in all a good place to come for lunch or dinner. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Aroma Italian Restaurant is located in Diamond Head in a well lit strip mall with plenty of parking . We dined here while attending cruising the coast. We were promptly seated upon entering and delivered menus and drinks promptly as well. We ordered a $13 one topping 18" pizza special that is on the menu. We got a cheese and sausage pie that arrived hot, gooey and was very tasty. The crust was crisp; the toppings and cheese were hot and there was just enough sauce underneath. A really good pizza for the price. They also provide garlic knots for free and those are warm, buttery and delicious. The wait staff and manager were friendly and did a great job at service. If you're looking for a clean place to dine with delicious food, check this place out.

Very good food! Small dive in Diamondhead with great Italian food. I'm was impressed with the flavors and amount of food served. The ambiance didn't necessarily have and Italian restaurant vibe. The waitress was very friendly and they were quick to get my to go order ready.

Delicious hot and soft rolls.

Well, okay then! I do believe we found a diamond! We have seen this place before, it right next to the breakfast (in an hour) place. It is located in a shopping plaza. Entrance is simple. It certainly isn't inviting, since it seems camouflaged next to the tobacco smoke shop. They are closed on Mondays. It was certainly pleasant to see them open on a Sunday. The layout is simple enough, 1 open dining area. Colors are muted in traditional Italian colors. I was abit taken back by the Spanish music playing, then it went into some kind of Indian/Iranian hollaback girl tune. Our server was very friendly and on the ball. She was fast, and on point with drinks and orders. I got the eggplant parm, wife got the chicken parm, my sister got a Caesar salad and spaghettiwith meat sauce. We also got the stuffed mushrooms and calamari appetizers. I must say, all the food tasted very very good and looked very fresh. My sister, one of the most finicky eaters I know, loved her salad and spaghetti dish. the rolls are great! I like the fact that the portions aren't huge. They were perfect to the person and the prices were moderately priced. We will definitely be back.

Popped in after some estate sale shopping and it didn't disappoint. The Cajun pasta was fabulous and my mom loved her stuffed mushrooms.

There's nothing Ugly about The Ugly Pirate! I went to the…read moreUgly Pirate with my friends on a Friday night, and we were immediately impressed by the atmosphere. The place is small and cozy, the Pirate theme made it fun and inviting. The locals at the bar made us feel right at home, especially Rick and Kirk, who seemed to be unpaid employees as they kept leaving their drinks to help the staff take out the trash, change kegs, and buss tables. We started our meal with a round of drinks, and I was happy to see that the Ugly Pirate has a great selection of beer on tap. I ordered my favorite beer, a Beach Bum and it was perfectly done. For our main course, we ordered the Caribbean pizza and it was amazing! The crust was perfectly crispy, and the toppings were flavorful and well-balanced. While we were eating, we were entertained by the extremely talented Kelsey Moran band. They played a great mix of classic rock and country, and they really got the crowd going. Overall, we had a great time at the Ugly Pirate. The food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to eat and drink in Bay St. Louis." P.S. I also wanted to mention that Brittany, the bartender, was amazing! She was friendly, attentive, and I swear she could read your mind when you needed another drink. I had the coldest drink of my life at the Ugly Pirate, and it was all thanks to Brittany.

5+ visits. Service is good…read more Very loud when full: tables are less than a chair space apart so no conversation will be private. No liquor license: Beer, Seltzers, wine substitutes, canned mixed drinks. Ensure people know they are not ordering a grocery store wine..regardless of what it says on the bottle. For the canned mixed drinks....serve the whole can. Bread: 3rd bread change. The first bread basket was PHENOMENAL. Then, they changed to huge chunks of yeast bread. Now a small hot crossed bun type roll which would probably be delicious warm, but its flavorless served cold with cold butter that won't spread. Some ppl will eat bread no matter what. Heat the rolls, make sure the butter is spreadable i.e. room temperature. Food: Scallops are, of course, not fresh. As far as frozen goes, they are cooked well. Personally, not for me $28 1.) price point 2.) frozen scallops with a mound of pasta. Originally had 5 or 6 scallops. now it think its 3. For the price point vegetable side, a salad, veggie and a salad....something other than $1 mountain of pasta. Burger has a great flavor, single patty $14 for $3 more you get 2 patties. I don't want 2 patties. If tomato, pickle, and shredded lettuce are the other 11$. Make the single burger perfect! I want an excellent quality tomato slice, real lettuce v shredded lettuce, 4 or 5 pickles and seal the deal - butter and toast the bun..again super flavor, juicy! Without fail, we order the Caesar Salad because it was divine. The dressing made it. This time, I almost didn't eat it. Dressing was thin, watery, and romaine not coated. Maybe the romaine wasn't dried after rinsing....so run off water diluted dressing. Not for me to say, all I know is it was watery and I was not happy. Point is, the server or prep person-someone between prep plating the salad and it getting to me- should have noticed it was different. Unless, it was intentional diluting of dressing. IDK. Filet- friend loved it - 8oz Filet and small side of hot salad Pork Chop - friend loved it seasoned so well huge. potatoes and corn Chicken Piccata - friend loved it piece of chicken and plate of pasta Tallulah Belle - cake is very coarse, not moist actually hard and dry. Ordered it once before but forgot we did not like it at all. Chocolate strawberry mousse - described as mix between mousse and custard. Thinking creme brulee right maybe lighter whippier... No, it was neither. It had beautiful cocoa flavor but it was hard...not at all a mousse nor custard. It was solid. I asked in advance to make sure of what I was getting and still was surprised with something I didn't want. Have had many other things that I believe I reviewed already. Personally, for me going to dinner with the ladies...I will decline in the future. The salad put the nail in the coffin for me. If I cant depend on the food being consistent, I will not return. I don't want to return food when I get there I'm hungry ready to enjoy a great meal that I am going to pay premium for and I am not going to eat and pay premium prices for randomly subpar food. At the Bistros price point, entire dining experience should be commensurate. Take reservations for any # of people. BSL peeps like a reservation - we plan our dinners, show up on time, and want a table when we arrive.

Last time I was in town I had posted on social media looking for stuffed artichokes and Michelle…read moreimmediately jumped in and asked how many did I want. I picked them up early on a Saturday and they were the best I've ever had. They definitely reminded me what I miss not living on the Coast anymore! Staff was friendly and even brought them to my car because they were fresh out the oven and he didn't want me burning my hands. I can't wait to go back home to try something else on the menu!
