Was looking for an Italian restaurant and Vicari was recommended by a local. So we decided to try…read moreit out. Arrived around 6:30 without a reservation, however we were seated immediately. The restaurant was beautiful. Low lighting warm atmosphere and brick walls. We're seated up stairs near a beautiful bar. Apparently they hold many events up stairs. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. She was covering the entire upstairs and was apologetic for keeping us waiting. We started with a side salad. I ordered the Caesar salad and my husband ordered the house salad both delicious and fresh. For the main course I ordered Tuscan chicken in a cream spinach sauce with bow tie pasta. Waitress was so nice offered to make it with any pasta I wanted. It was cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the lasagna with meat sauce. He stated it was delicious. The Resturant was a little pricey but the food and atmosphere made it worth it.

I would have picked a 3.5 star... We arrived at 5pm, asked…read moreto sit upstairs at the bar for a drink before dinner. The two very friendly hostesses said a class reunion was upstairs in the dinning section, but we could sit at the bar and come down for dinner without a need for a reservation. We sat at the bar for a drink, it was freezing, but probably because of the number of people for the reunion and the AC had to be set low. The bar tender was very busy, but sweet and attentive to us. She made us great cockatiels, with some wait, but totally understandable due to the large party for the reunion. We finished our drinks and moved down stairs for our meal. We placed an order for two appetizers to share ( I do think they are a bit pricey here). We had average table service, mostly because of the attitude of our server, not very attentive and felt like we were the bothering her. The food was excellent. Then restaurant was clean. I did visit the ladies room and the toilet seat was broken ( not knowing until I tried to stand back up and the lid fell on my back and the seat practically slipped off the toilet bowl. ) :0

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.

After reading some of the negative reviews, it's obvious they were made by people who never stepped foot in the restaurant and had political issues with the owner.

Just those two pasta dishes lacked distinct flavor. I will return I just won't order those two items. Check this place out. It's worth a stop.

Italian Beef is made by slowly roasting lean beef on a rack above a pan filled with seasoned…read morebeef-based stock. Most people call it au jus which normally refers to natural cooking juices. Then it is sliced paper thin, soaked in the juice for a few minutes, and layered generously, dripping wet, onto sections of Italian or Vienna bread loaves. This is high in gluten and gives the bread the 'wet strength' that is required to keep the soggy sandwich together. Beef juice is spooned over the toppings, making the bread wet and chewy. They will ask if you want it dry, dipped or soaked. Those terms are self explanatory. You can ask for juice for dipping on the side, but that request may get you some funny looks. You'll usually be asked hot or mild, referring to the peppers served on or with the sandwich. There are three local places that serve a really good Italian Beef sandwich. Lil's Chicago in Corinth, Mike's (Cafe) in Corinth and Ramjet's in Burnsville. Lil' Chicago, of course will be the better known because of the size of the city it is in. Ramjet's does offer a better tasting Italian Beef, as well as the home style fries. Mike's just started serving Italian Beef a few months ago (yet to try). There are a dozen restaurants offering home style, cut in-house or hand cut fries, but Ramjet's takes the blue ribbon every time for their fries. Borroum's, Rib Shack, Abe's, Lil Chicago all come to mind at the moment, have an end result the same...limp, soggy oil-soaked fries. I don't know Ramjet's secret, but my inner Sherlock Holmes deduces they double dip the fries. When you think fried catfish you automatically do a mental rundown of all the places in Pickwick that specialize in catfish. Do not let that tiny "blink and miss it" establishment known as Ramjet's fool you. It has catfish that will rival Hagy's. I ordered the filet and you get several, more of a large nugget-size pieces than full filets. I personally did not care for their slaw or their hush puppies. I am a fan of creamy mayonnaise based slaw, whereas their slaw was baseless. In my opinion, the hush puppies are too dry. They did have flavor and minced onion, but the dry texture detracted from the flavor so much that I will leave them off the next order, along with the slaw. Ramjet's is a small place, probably seats 30 and is located on Hwy 72. The menu selection is short but has the basics. Hamburger, chicken sandwich, fish, Vienna hot dog, Italian Beef and such. If you don't see a sandwich you like try a meal of just the fries. UPDATE 10-3-14 Well, today is the day I whet my appetite for fish. The difference in waitresses here can ruin a meal if you are not a regular. I got an unenthusiastic waitress today. I ordered the fish without slaw or hush puppies. The previous fish meal was served with hand cut fries. Today I got crinkle cut. Egad! When I was visibly shaken at the site of them she asked if there was a problem. I stated I wasn't expecting crinkle cut. She said the fish always comes with crinkle cut. She did offer to have the hand cut cooked for me, but I said no and played the hand I was dealt. The fish was just as good as the previous visit. It was served too hot to eat. For the record, the menu doesn't specify crinkle cut with the fish. Be forewarned when ordering. If you prefer hand cut fries speak up at the time you place the order. This is where the difference in waitresses had affected my meal today. The other lady asks you questions like 'lemon with your tea?', 'you want cut fries or crinkle cut?' She wants to be sure you get what you truly want when you order from her and I like that a lot!
