We were welcomed into a space that perfectly balances rustic charm with understated elegance .. warm and intimate, yet refined. Our waiter embodied the polished, attentive professionalism one expects to find in Paris or Vienna--knowledgeable, gracious, and ever present without being intrusive. The meal began with rustic Italian bread, crisp crust and a tender, airy center, paired with an exceptional olive oil infused with fresh herbs and garlic, the simplest things elevated to extraordinary. Our calamari appetizer was simply the best we've ever had. The squid was remarkably fresh, tender, with a feather-light, crisp batter and accompanied by a warm marinara that tasted as though it had been simmering all afternoon in an Italian kitchen. For entrée, my wife and I shared a flawlessly prepared filet mignon, a perfect mid-rare and finished with an indulgent Gorgonzola butter cream sauce. The accompanying crisp, frites were incredible dredged through that stunning gorgonzola sauce. Our guest chose the homemade lasagna, a dish that looked as though it had come directly from a Tuscan Nona's kitchen. His opinion carried particular weight--he is an international tour director who had just "eaten his way across Italy on lasagna." He declared this version equal to the best. Dessert was a shared tiramisu, dusted with aromatic espresso. It was light, perfectly balanced .. the finest tiramisu I have ever tasted. Yes, the final bill was on the high end for Monterey, but value is measured by the entire experience. A meal of this caliber would easily command twice the price in Nashville--assuming you could find a restaurant capable of delivering this level of authentic Italian cuisine and impeccable service. Sapori di Napoli has set a new standard for us. It will be the venue for all of our future special occasions

I ordered the Baccala and the cod was so delicate that it resembled a Chilean sea bass. The sauce was perfectly seasoned and the olives and capers gave it a nice touch of salt. My husband ordered the pasta with sausage (penne rustica?) He savored every bite. The chef nails it. Every time we come I try something different. The food is at fine dining level.

The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening to remember - it feels as though you have been invited into a rustic Italian home for a night away. The music is soft and inviting, setting the mood while making a space for table conversations. As soon as we arrived our waiter, Andrew (who did an amazing job) served us water, lit a romantic candle on the table, and informed us of the nightly special. We never felt rushed throughout or meal, nor felt ignored. When we had questions, he gave excellent recommendations. For drinks, my girlfriend enjoyed a citrus sweet margarita (The Italian Margarita) and I a smooth, refreshing citrus gin. Regarding our food, for an appetizer, we enjoyed the fried ravioli - which was good, though a little heavy to start out the night. I would recommend a lighter appetizer for others (unless you have more than two persons at your table). While waiting for our entrees, we enjoyed a fresh salad and warm, crispy bread dipped in olive oil. For our entrees, we both selected the Carbonara - and it was phenomenal. Definitely recommend! Overall, the experience was excellent and one to remember. I highly recommend choosing Mauricio's for a special event!

I wanted to love this place since we went out for a special celebration of my husband. We had not…read morebeen before and the menu looked amazing! We did not have a great experience. We had a party of 10 and went early (before 6pm on a weekday). It was not busy, and when we arrived there was one couple seated. Despite this, I think they rushed our food. And we would have gladly waited a little longer for cooked food. :/ Everyone at the table who ordered "steamed broccoli" received hard, barely cooked broccoli. My mother-in-law's potatoes were not fully cooked, and her salmon was raw. Since all her food was not edible, they took it off the bill. So at least there's that. The green beans my mother ordered were also quite crunchy, which can be personal preference. I did not complain about my salmon, but it was undercooked as well. However, even if it were cooked, the lemon sauce makes it inedible. I order salmon at most restaurants and I have never tasted a more horrific sauce. I thought maybe I was being dramatic, so let everyone at the table taste the sauce. Every single one of them scrunched up their face and said "UGH!" It was described by my family members as "putrid, disgusting, rotten pudding, and having a strong iron taste." I have to agree there. When they put it on the table I thought the fish was bad, but it was just the strong smell of the sauce. So all the broccoli, salmon, and potatoes were undercooked... however everyone who ordered steak received it cooked way past what they had ordered. My husband ordered medium, and it looked close to well done. My nephew ordered medium rare, and it looked medium well. My husband's steak was still tender and tasty though, so he did not complain. His Brussels sprouts were decent and grits were very flavorful. My sides were mac and cheese and a salad. Those were both very good! The mac and cheese is in an interesting flavorful sauce. More creamy than cheesy, but I enjoyed it. The salad seemed pretty fresh with homemade dressing from what I could tell. Our server was nice, but did not check on us at all, and was only at the table to take our orders, deliver the food, and give us the check. The majority of us had empty drink glasses and would have wanted refills. There was an automatic tip of 20% on the bill because of the larger party, which was fine, but like I said, the service wasn't great since we didn't get checked on whatsoever. Overall, it's not the worst place I've ever been but it wasn't very good. You hate to go to a place that SHOULD be good, pay good money, and receive that quality, but we weren't going to sit there and every single one of us complain. Sometimes, you just have to eat a bad meal, laugh about it, and not return. The fact of the matter is there are much better places to eat in Cookeville with better food and better service, so we probably won't be back.

Our waitress KaShonda made what might have been a three star experience easily a four star. The menu warns that the Chicago style can take 45-75 minutes so we were quick to order it before appetizers. The food was tasty. Ordering two pizza styles is a challenge and our Margherita NY style originally came out over cooked. (Probably waiting on our other pizza to finish). KaShonda was apologetic and was quick to make the situation right. When a new pizza came out it was fantastic. I would return when back in the area.

I'm understanding, but several other tables that arrived after we ordered entrees were eating before two pizzas could be baked?!? Ridiculous. Will honestly not go out of my way to dine here again. I feel bad for the server (it was her birthday) and her team and management let her down.
