    Chicken parmigiana with angel hair pasta at Mattina Bella
    Mike H.

    Met family for brunch at Mattina Bella today and enjoyed it as we always do. Mattina Bella never disappoints. Lovely surroundings, excellent service, and great breakfast favorites, sandwiches, and salads . Especially enjoyed the blackened redfish salad with their house vinaigrette dressing.

    Blubbery waffle with a blueberry compote

    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.

    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! .

    Louisiana eggs Benedict

    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.

    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!

    The food was great, service was good, mimosas were also good. Can't complain at all! Very cute place, noisy but cute

    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.

    LUMORA - Buffalo Chicken Pinsa at Lumora

    Our visit to LUMORA was such a great experience. The restaurant is beautiful, very aesthetically…read morepleasing, and has a really nice atmosphere. We started with the chicken wings with honey barbecue sauce. The wings were cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. Next were the bacon wrapped shrimp and these were one of my favorite items of the night. The hot honey sauce was so good and the presentation made them even better. The cheese pull and sauce dripping down really sealed the deal for me. Easily a 10/10. The brussels sprouts completely surprised me because they were SO good. They were topped with pecans, cranberries, pepper jelly, and parmesan cheese, and all of the toppings worked so well together to elevate the flavor of the brussels sprouts. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I've been back just for those alone. 10/10. I also tried the Bayou Mac & Cheese which was creamy, flavorful, and cooked well. My only complaint is that it was topped with tomatoes, which wasn't listed on the menu, so I would've asked for it without them, but no big deal. We also had the Cajun Pasta which was good as well. Everything came out hot & Overall, the service was excellent, everything we had was really enjoyable, and the experience matched the aesthetic of the restaurant. I'd definitely return.

Service was friendly and efficient and Taylor took excellent care of us. General Manager Josie dropped by our table to share info on Lumora and her visit was appreciated. There is a full bar and a wide selection of specialty cocktails. Today I had a Blood Orange Mezcal Margarita and my wife had an Ex-Presso Martini. Both were great! I highly recommend the Mezcal spice served up on the Margarita's rim in place of the standard salt. We then enjoyed the Zydeco Eggroll appetizer, which the pepper jelly garnish made truly memorable. I then followed with the Buffalo Chicken Pinsa and my wife had the Hot Honey Pepperoni Pinsa. Both were excellent; hot, pleasantly spicy, and generously portioned. We took home a lot of food. Although we had no room for dessert, several on the menu looked quite sumptuous. In short, Lumora Kitchen and Bar is highly recommended! It's a great spot for lunch, happy hour drinks, or a special date night. We will return.

    We really enjoyed Tchefuncte's!…read more They have their own parking lot, so it made it very easy to get in and out. You just park, the go inside, and the restaurant is on the 2nd floor. The service was phenomenal! It was for an anniversary, and they made sure to tell us happy anniversary, and add it to a little sign that was left on our table. Now for the main part: the food. Fried Oysters and Pork Belly - very good, if you get this make sure you eat them together (that was our "best bite" for that serving). Wedge Salad - one of the best wedge salad's we have had. The blue cheese dressing was creamy (rather than chunky blue cheese). It had crispy shoestring onion strings that almost acted as the croutons. I loved every bite that included lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and bacon. Delmonico Steak - this was probably our overall favorite item. Just a great steak, and large enough for both of us to enjoy. Redfish - this was good, not great. Would probably try something else other than this if we went back. Tchefuncte Potatoes - they almost were like a twice baked potato (flavor wise), but they are super creamy and fluffy and then turned into a lightly fried ball. Good and very unique. Crème Brûlée - if you like crème brûlée then you will enjoy it here. A classic dessert that was delicious. And to top it all off, the ambiance was great. It is right on the water, and service was very attentive.

    First time trying one of the smaller steaks - I had the 12 oz Ft Worth Ribeye tonight…read more Delicious steaks to be had here, as always, but I'm gonna order it medium-rare next time. The thicker, fattier steaks I usually get need a medium tempt to start rendering the fat, but this thinner cut - while still really, really good - would have benefited from a little less time on the fire. Lesson learned and something to look forward to next time. Still, it was a great meal and the house salads these folks serve up as a "side" are a meal in themselves - so fresh, and piled high with lettuce, grape tomatoes, boiled egg, cheddar cheese, and some super crunchy croutons. If ya like blue cheese, you're gonna love it here at TR. don't miss out! This ain't a one time thing, either, the salads are always this good and really complement the whole experience. My girls both got steaks, and salad, plus one of the perfectly baked sweet potatoes. I was a little jelly watching them smoosh butter into the starchy candy heaven - with lots of black pepper 'cause they can. Star of the meal? Dalton. This dude was so on top of good service even my kid was like, "I'mma be more like him at work." And let me tell ya, she's already good, so I was even more impressed! Way to go, ma dude! We usually get a visit from a manager while in the restaurant, but none stopped by today. Not that we needed it, but I always like to let them know they have an awesome team. So, hey management - you got a terrific crew over there!

    The service and food was amazing, but I am writing this review to specifically brag on our waitress…read moreEmily. We went in today to celebrate Mother's Day, we had a party of 6, my younger sister has Down Syndrome and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year, the disease causes her to have certain issues, one of those is her perception, and I also need to add that she is short. Beause the tables are raised on a platform, in my sister's mind she could not get up on the bench even with us, her family, trying to coax her, Emily saw her struggling and immediately started talking to her and reassuring her that she could do it, and she did. It did this heart good to see someone so caring. So if you go to Covington, stop by and ask for Emily.
