I had a nice meal at Mattina Bella Restaurant. The food had a comforting, homemade feel, and the menu offered plenty of classic Italian choices. The portions were satisfying, and the staff was welcoming throughout the visit. The cozy atmosphere. read more

I've only been here for breakfast. Very nice place in the heart of Covington. Very good omelets and service.

My family and I came for breakfast at around 8:30 and we were seated by 8:45!I ordered the special: Fried Shrimp Egg Benedict and it was excellent! We all got our food quickly and enjoyed it! The restaurant was so cute inside and although it was busy, it felt like the perfect community spot! This was my first time, and I will most certainly be back! read more

Wow!! What an amazing restaurant in downtown Covington. I've been here for both lunch and breakfast and both meals have been 11/10. My lunch meal was spaghetti and meatballs and it was very flavorful. For breakfast, I got the blueberry waffle and omg it was DELICIOUS!!! I would say this is the best breakfast place on the north shore in my opinion and it is always packed so It's definitely a fan favorite! The service is always very friendly too. read more

This is a nice little local restaurant within walking distance of the Southern Hotel. When we arrived around 8:30 it wasn't that busy but it got very busy on a weekday right before New Year's eve. I can't remember what I got but I know it was delicious and everyone else enjoyed their meal too. There were four of us. I do recommend this place. read more

Today's lunch at Mattina Bella was my St. Patrick's Day is Irish-American tradition meal of Cornbeef, Cabbage, Carrots and Cornbread. First, I would like to say this lunch meal hit the spot (I was Hungry). I did clean my plate with only a couple of pet peeves. But presentation is a C- and it was mildly warm and not hot. Service was alright/ok but you would think as a "Special of the Day" your food would come quicker. I guess they had to go kill the animal to get the protein. Cabbage is not that's expensive but for close to $20 you'd expect a better portion on vegetables. One thing that sticks with me since my early cooking days: Cut the same, cook the same but whoever was on the Carrots also forgot the seasoning and said F-it! ‍. Lastly, if you are going to provide bottled condiments, atl least make sure the tip/caps are clean....I hate this. Need to travel with my own Louisiana Hotsauce. Customer service was subpar as during my meal, no check up, refill, how was your meal or nothing. Shock However, the young lady was quick with my check and bill but she said "No Rush"! So I paid and sat there for another 2O minutes, sipping my drink! . read more

Always committed to quality served by capable friendly staff, Matina Bella holds the standard for go to NOLA favorites with their unique understated pizazz. Thanks Matina Bella! read more

Food is always good, freshly made. The coffee is kind of like meh chain hotel coffee. I guess they don't have better so you'll order a cocktail. The service is good and friendly. The exception being one time we went to the bar and got fussed at (by a prissy girl!) for not sitting in the pairs they want you to sit in. Restaurant is nice in an old building. Very loud when it's crowded which is usually when we are there. :D read more

Brunch and lunch spot located in historic downtown Covington. I have been about 10 years since I have been here and the food is even better now. I started with an Irish coffee which was delicious. For my meal I had the Louisiana crab eggs Benedict. It was the best eggs Benedict I have ever had in my life. Instead of a English muffin, it was a grits cake. It was also talked with andouille and crawfish. read more

Just finished up another great meal at MB. This time it was lunch and I had the company of my husband. I got the Redfish salad and swapped the pepper jelly dressing for the balsamic its typically served with. Since moving to LA, I cannot get enough of pepper jelly and this dressing was excellent. It was a great compliment and contrast to the salty bleu cheese and tender/flaky/flavorful blackened redfish. My husband had a chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. Cooked at his temperature of choice, he had gouda and added onions for thanksgiving extra flavor and texture. We had mismosas and coffee with the meal. A simple touch to finish up the complexly flavored meal. As usual, service was excellent and the restaurant was filled with lively families enjoying a perfect weather Saturday! read more

Great service, great food, and clean facilities. Only issue is dining room can be a bit noisy at peak times.

Oh my, Martina Bella is simply fabulous, the food is AMAZING. If w a looking for breakfast they have a large selection to choose from. Or if you are looking for lunch they have special every day. My favorite is chicken parmesan, it is marvelous. Or if it's a burger they have one of the best. The restaurant is very charming with a turn of the century decor. If you are in downtown Covington it is a must go. read more

I hate you're about two or three times a month and I used to just get the breakfast items but lately I've been eating the daily specials and they are some of the best on the North Shore. The roast beef, mashed potatoes, and vegetables I had and they have every Tuesday what is the best tasting roast beef I have ever had in my lifetime and believe me I've had a lot. Today the chicken with mushrooms and artichokes was also very good. The staff here is amazing and the owner is pretty cute to. read more

Service was great as always! Food is always consistent and good quality. You can't beat it for the price. Best breakfast/lunch spot in Covington! read more

I've never been disappointed or unsatisfied at this restaurant. They open for breakfast and lunch only, and they do those two meals wonderfully. The food is always great! The service is good, and they make the best salad in town! I stand by that! The Grilled Chicken Bella Salad, with it's house made Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing if absolutely the most delicious salad I've eaten. And I've traveled all over the world. I've eaten several other meals from there, and not one has been a disappointment. No ha yet what you choose, you can't go wrong. The dining area itself is relatively small, but very cozy. It can be a tiny bit loud from time to time, but nothing overwhelming. It's usually a friendly crowd and laughter & chatting rolls through the room with ease. Believe me, you'll love it. read more

The food was incredible. I got the Eggs Louisiane and I would recommend this 10/10 times. Service was quick and came around multiple times for refills. We went in the morning and it was packed. With three amount of people, it did get a bit loud but overall experience 10/10. read more

Second time at this casual breakfast spot. Both times have seen local regulars. Service is great and food is very good. Will be back when in town. read more

I don't know why I haven't written a review sooner because this is one of my all-time favorite breakfast places. The food is outstanding and so are the prices. While eating out these days almost requires a home equity loan, you can get a fantastic breakfast and still walk out with money in your pocket. Yesterday, my son and I went there, and he had steak and eggs with grits, and I had a lump crabmeat (a lot) Benedict for less than $40. That crab Benedict, along with the salmon Benedict and the lump crabmeat omelet, are three of my favorites. But, everything is fantastic and the service is as well. If you've never been, then now is the time. read more

Mattina Bella is a great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot located in a historical building in the center of Old Covington. The food is consistently delicious, and the service is always above average. I've eaten there on and off for many years and have never been disappointed. I dropped by this Sunday for brunch with a guest from out of town, and they knocked it out of the park. They have a signature brunch dish, Eggs Louisiane, that is a beautiful combination of crawfish and andouille served in an eggs Benedict style on a grit cake that is absolutely exceptional. You won't find better anywhere in the New Orleans region, and that's saying a lot. They seem to get better and better every year, and that includes both the food and the hospitality. You're always treated like a welcome guest. They also take dietary restrictions very seriously and will happily accommodate special requests. Also, in this era of rapidly rising prices, they remain a great value for the money. read more

This is a great breakfast spot. The eggs Benedict with bacon (not Canadian) is delicious! The side of breakfast potatoes are yummy as well. They also offer gluten free English muffins, which is a huge draw for us. We like to come here for breakfast any time we visit Covington. Make sure to get there early on the weekend, it fills up fast. read more

You can't beat a classic breakfast AND lunch in downtown Covington when it comes to Mattina Bella! It's been a bit since I've been due to my brother's restaurant opening down the street, but it still has great food! Breakfast is always a hit, be sure to get there early on the weekend as a lot of old timers tend to go to breakfast at Mattina Bella! If the restaurant is packed, it can get a little loud with conversation, but overall the general experience is great! read more

This place is awesome. There's a reason it's packed. The food is fantastic, staff is great, the owner is there to greet each customer.
