I love stopping at Tabella when I am in Hattiesburg. We went for lunch for my mother's birthday, and everything was amazing. The service was great, and the food was even better. I got the chicken parm, my Italian go to and recommend it to everyone. read more

We stopped in for lunch to celebrate a friend's retirement. We walked into the lobby and there was a guy wearing a tee shirt and jeans. We thought he was waiting on a table but he was our hostess. He was very nice but I would except a professional dress code . The food is always great here. The focaccia bread it's so good and complementary. Three of the four in our party ordered the meat lasagna. It had great favor and plenty of meat but was lukewarm. We had ordered extra sauce which was hot so that helped. We should have mentioned it to our server, our bad. The last two times we were in town and stopped in I will say I wish they would play Italian (Since it is an Italian Restaurant) or relaxing music instead of rap. Did I mention the food and service were good read more

This place exceeded my expectations! It was a very good chicken fettuccine Alfredo pasta that I got, the chicken was a little dry, and I actually couldn't finish all of it due to that. The sauce, portion sizes, the noodles, the bread were pretty good. Very friendly staff and Would recommend this place, I will come back. read more

Had Fettuccini Alfredo and salmon. Awesome. Lemoncello cheese cake was decadent. Wendy's service was outstanding. I would have given 5 stars. But no italian music. I'll still go back. read more

No clue what this is but it's definitely NOT a tiramisu. Go to Mario's or hell even Olive Garden has a better tiramisu than what these people came up with. Didn't even take a single bite. Salmon with baked potatoes were good though but was absolutely ruined by whatever THIS is, very tempted to DoorDash them a real tiramisu so they can see what it is and learn to make one. read more

Wish I give 0 stars service is awful food subpar bread was the worst. 100 year old starter. But bread tasted like it was a week old.

The most amazing pizza in Hattiesburg. Really good salads, sandwiches & pasta. They have a good drink menu. Nichole, our waitress this time was a breath of fresh air! read more

The server was very disrespectful. This was our first time visiting this restaurant. And the way the server handled us we just walked out. Not sure I'll ever go back again. Also we didn't have the opportunity to order so I can't say what the food taste like. read more

I really like this place. The food is good, the atmosphere is nice. But I rarely go because it's so pricey.

My favorite Italian in Hattiesburg. Love the potatos and garlic green beans! Always fresh and the bread is to die for!! read more

Came in last night at 5:45 with 5 adults and two kids, (4 and 1). Vacant tables were abundant but was told we'd have to wait until a table opened up. Sat there for over an hour before we were seated as numerous people came in and filled seating including a birthday party for about 20+ people. All the while we could see a table that seated ten right by the front door. When asked about utilizing the table the response was it had to be available just in case a larger party came. So we sat there and stared at the empty 10 top table not twenty feet from us for an hour until the party at the 8 top table right by the kitchen finally emptied. Food was barely warm when served and lacking flavor. All in all, we arrived at 5:45 and finally finished at 8pm after paying a lot for poor service and food. This restaurant has been a favorite of ours for years but it will be a while before going again. TaBella, you can do better! read more

I've ordered take-out from Tabella twice in the last week or so. Outstanding experience both times. Pasta bolognese was still warm when I got home and super tasty, probably my new favorite pasta dish. I shared it with my wife the first time but didn't offer to share the second time. 12/13/23 read more

I had dinner here last week. Service was great. Flavor of the food was good was only warm when it was delivered to the table. Could have been much better experience. read more

We stopped in here while on an overnight stay in Hattiesburg. Madison E was welcoming and took really great care of us. The food was delicious and the portion sizes were spot on for the pricing. We loved the calamari! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Great little spot for a nice Italian meal. read more

Food was good and made to order. Folks were friendly. We did carry out this time. Prices were affordable and portion sizes were decent. If you're lazy and just want to watch Netflix with your better half this is a good complement to the evening. read more

I have been eating at Tabella's since opening and I have always enjoyed the food! I have two fav dishes. One is the full house salad with Salmon! Best cooked salmon around town!! Perfect medium rare! My other fav dish is the duck!! Steve is amazing at remembering my order all the time and everyone is always nice and sweet with great and sufficient customer service!! read more

Steve Adamson, the manager, is a total unprofessional. 9 months ago I went got Tabella and they were out of a number of things. I expressed my displeasure with the top manager and apparently Steve has not forgotten about it. I was called "a jerk" and "12 year old" by this manager. Definitely the last time I will spend a nickel there. read more

The server recommended the pecan crusted steak medallions. It was absolutely amazing! Our server was so nice, attentive and friendly.

delish and the service is always great and fast. most definitely best "Italian" in Hattiesburg!

One of the single best places to eat in Hburg! Good food, good service, good drinks. Love the Harvest Salad but it's huge. Bread is fantastic. Always consistent and well-managed. Also like the eggplant Parmesan and the salmon with Brussel sprouts. read more

Tabella is one of the worst "Italian" restaurants in Hattiesburg. I ordered a pasta dish that was served cold, and the chicken was tough. I was insulted that Tabella had the nerve to serve me such food. It was disgraceful. I do not recommend Tabella! read more

Just YUM! I have been looking for some good chicken piccata since a great Italian restaurant in Manhattan. This past week we traveled from St Augustine to Hattiesburg and after 4 other places, this was it. Folks that were not so appreciative did not order correctly. I ordered chicken piccata with naked spaghetti noodles and the Alfredo on the side. Next time I will just ask for extra piccata sauce. My husband had the steak Gorgonzola. Our only complaint was that we were unable to leave a larger tip! Only a 10% tip was added , we had no cash on us. We will be back soon! read more

I loved there food! My little sister loves there pizza!! But it is a little while to wait. There staff is so kind. read more

We've not been here in forever and since Covid lockdown we've eaten inside a restaurant almost zero. But we had family in town and they wanted pasta. Wow! The service, food, cleanliness & attitudes of staff were all a 5plus rating. We were pleasantly impressed. We've returned several times now in the off times. So wish they were open on Sunday but i applaud them taking a day to rest. We're a habit forming couple and generally split entree and the big salad with the balsamic fig. Yum! My husband always ordered a pizza when in special if not the eggplant Parmesan. We've only had a good experience and will continue to enjoy as much as possible. read more

I'm not sure how I haven't eaten at Tabella before, but I'll make sure to come back! We had a fabulous and friendly waitress who took great care of us as we worked our way through apps, dinner and dessert. For apps we tried the fried ravioli and fried calamari. I'm not usually a huge calamari fan but just the look of these lightly fried bits had me trying them and they were delicious!! The ravioli were tasty as well in their classic form. For dinner I had the grilled salmon (I know, salmon at an Italian restaurant??) but it was perfectly cooked and seasoned and with an array of sides to choose from - a perfect entree. Lastly we tried a few desserts. The tiramisu was good but our "don't miss" would be the limoncello cheese cake. read more

Yesterday, I was invited to Tabella on a business luncheon. I was looking for something on the healthier side. I ordered the pecan crusted chicken with broccoli and asparagus. Man! Can I say that meal was amazing!!!!! This meal can be a hero or a zero depending on the chef. Well let me say, that chef rated as a HERO after that meal. It was so fresh and flavorful, I feel like they must have a garden out the back door. There is a difference anyone can tell when it is done right. I look forward to my next return visit. Great job guys! read more

I don't mean this in a negative way, but I haven't eaten at Olive Garden or any other big box Italian restaurant since discovering Tabella several years ago. There's just no need. Perfect spot for a date night with the spouse, dinner with the kiddos, a client appointment - really any occasion. The food tastes so fresh and really gives your tastebuds a flavor explosion! Some of my favorites are the chicken puglia, salmon w/ shredded brussels sprouts, grilled tuna and any special they launch. The appetizers like Italian nachos, fried zucchini sticks and fried banana peppers are off the charts as well. My favorite restaurant for catering as well, as everyone loves it when you open up the pasta trays, and Steve and Stacy take such good care of you on the order with paper products, ice, utensils, etc. They are my go-to! read more

Tabella - Grilled salmon w/ shredded brussels sprouts! - Italian Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Food is just ok, and yet they charge premium prices. Been here 3 times and not impressed, and will not be back. Stealing your monies.

This was most likely the worst Italian restaurant I have ever eaten at! I should have left when mt first criteria for an Italian restaurant is having veal on the menu in some fashion...! No Veal! The complimentary bread with olive olive was disgusting. Upon research I found they use pure olive oil..yuck..nasty. I was going to get chicken picatta but it came with one chicken breast..and although it had a lemon sauce..the sides were spaghetti marinara or pasta al fredo..why not serve over angel hair with the sauce..I could have substituted green beans and fried potatoes..what?..I had the steak fillets with gorgonzolla and you guessed it..the sides were green beans and fried potatoes..SMH. For desert I had the warm chocolate souffle..and asked for coffee...the coffee had the smell of old sat around and then got microwaved .They should be ashamed. I will not go back or recommend to anyone..BEWARE!! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Food was so good! Service was great. Love the atmosphere! Food came out very fast! This is definitely a place we will be coming back to! read more

Way over priced for pasta. $17.00 for lunch and they up charge $6.00 to sub broccoli for potatoes. People Are starting to stay home now and restaurants are not helping themselves with dumb policies like this. read more

Five stars across the board. The atmosphere here is just the right balance of laid back and professional-if that makes sense! It had the balance that makes you know youre eating good, authentic and quality food with all the extra sense of needing to be proper at a nice restaurant. I always get the pizza when I come with a house salad-ask for the fig vinaigrette instead! Its a dollar upcharge but worth all four quarters. Ive come here many times but felt inclined to write a review saying to ask for Steven (stephen? One of the spellings) as your server. He is very knowledgeable about the menu and knows how to ring in all of my specifications. Sometimes it can be a miss going here if the server is new and doesnt know how to ring in my order how I like it. I will never go back here again without asking for steven first!! read more

I had the Pecan Crusted Chicken with garlic green beans and pasta!! Never ate here before but will come back very tasty and plated awesome! Wife had the chicken parmesan she smiling from the first taste!! Portions are well worth the cost!! Service was spot on great experience from start to finish!!! read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in Hattiesburg. The service is always great and the food is great as well.

This is the best restaurant in Hattiesburg! The atmosphere is great and the owners are nice! My go to is the house salad with their homemade vinaigrette dressing either by itself or with salmon. The salmon is seasoned perfectly! On days that I need a little more I pair it with their authentic creamy tomato soup. My other go to meal here is the medallion steaks with the potatoes and asparagus. I love the cheese they use with this dish on the steaks. Great seasoning and size for the steaks! Last but not least I do love love love their chocolate soufflé and ice cream. I eat here multiple times a week for months. If you're ever in town stop by and have yourself one of these dishes! read more

I have celiac disease and I'm new to the area. Upon researching I found raving reviews for the gluten free options at Tabella. It was so exciting to see at least 10 options for soup/salad and three columns with gluten free entrees! I got the chicken Parmesan with spaghetti marinara on the bottom, Caesar salad to start and a chocolate cake soufflé with vanilla bean ice cream for dessert!! The staff was so knowledgeable (menu states there is a designated gluten free kitchen) and so friendly! Very thankful and will definitely dine again!! read more

Tabella - Gluten free Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti marinara - Italian Near Me - Hattiesburg, Mississippi

Absolutely not. I travel a LOT; one of the first things I look for when I get to a new city is a decent Italian Restaurant. Maybe it's due to the fact that they emphasize healthy over tasteful, which is understandable, but I can genuinely say people who say that this is phenomenal with the Italian theme in mind, have never been to another Italian diner. The food wasn't completely terrible, but it was sub par for what it was supposed to be. The service is pretty timely, as our orders were quickly taken. My table started with appetizers, which consisted of Fried Mozzarella & Fried Ravioli. They weren't completely terrible, but once again they definitely were not up to expectation. Not long after, our entrees promptly came. I had the Mixed Grill, which was a trio combination of Veal, Chicken Parmesan, & Filet Mignon, over a Spinach Florentine. The plate was covered in Spinach, which along with the Alfredo(?) sauce, was actually not bad. Everything else however, was a disaster. The portions were beyond mediocre, & when I suggested to the waitress that she inform future patrons of this, she abruptly told me that I should have read the menu better because it said the portions were extremely small. After reviewing the menu again with the manager, it definitely did not indicate that. "You should have expected small portions when you read it was a combination." When I'm spending $30, I'm agreeing to disagree. Especially when Olive Garden has something similar with 4x the portion for half the price. The manager tried her best to resolute this, but the customer service on behalf of the general staff is completely trash. read more

I've enjoyed Tabella's the handful of times I've gone there when in town and visiting family. I LOVE classic Italian foods. Their classic lasagna is filled with flavors. It is a little dry but the server always brings a side of marinara to add. I love the roasted ravioli but think it could have a little more moisture to it as well, maybe more cheesy? Anyway, in my experiences, seating is usually prompt, the servers are attentive and the food is tasty. read more

Tabella, what are you doing?? Stick to what you know!! Today after church we let our 4 year old decide where she wanted to eat. She chose the "Apple". Since she started talking, she thinks the tomato is an apple outside. So, we obliged and went it. It's been a few months since we've been here and we first noticed new items on the menu. We decided to try these out. My wife wanted to try the Italian Guacamole. As soon as the waitress brought the guac to the table the image of it was extremely off-putting. Only thing worst than the image of it, was the taste. Basil, does not belong with guacamole...if it does, then it doesn't at Tabella. We looked at the burgers and thought...burgers at tabella?? i'm sure it's good. We've had the branch burger before so we assumed that it would be just as good as Branch. MAJOR disappointment. We both ordered it medium. Medium means there will be pink and juicy. My wife couldn't cut through the burger due to it being burned. Mine was the same way. The burger was extremely overcooked and dry. The management was extremely nice about the issue and made a concession. This is the only reason it received two stars. We aren't sure if we will be back, but want to make sure Tabella knows to KEEP TO WHAT YOU KNOW! Today was the most disappointed we've ever been with Tabella and any RSJ establishments. read more
