Tabella Italian - West Hattiesburg

Great food , great presentation and polite staff.. definitely recommended

On a business trip and chose this place both off word of mouth and Google Maps reviews. I sure hope I caught them on an extremely terrible night. Ordered an old fashioned to get Woodford on the rocks and barely any Woodford at that. The caesar salad was mostly oil and had a very sour taste. Changed up to wine (which the only moderately decent thing I had there) and ordered the chicken piccata with the side of spaghetti. As for the wine, they poured roughly 2 oz and before I could even touch the glass, came by asking if i wanted another glass. I told them that is all they gave me and i hadn't even tried it yet. All the while repeatedly asking for silverware and napkins to only be consistently given cocktail napkins. The entree arrived to see the chicken sitting on top of the spaghetti with two entirely different sauces mixed. Still waited around for silverware and finally got it when the entree got cold. The chicken was rubbery and I had to saw through it with the butter knife. The spaghetti was cold and the sauces has congealed to a semi-solid mass of cold, funky flavor. Props to them though as this is the first restaurant I've ever been to where I felt more and more sick as I tried each dish.In all, hard pass on this place and no clue how their ratings are so very high.

Dietary restrictions: If you need gluten free food and you are in the Hattiesburg area, this place is great. They also have a GF chocolate soufflé that was nice. It was wonderful to have GF Italian food that I didn’t have to cook myself. ?

Good portions of food, excellent service at a reasonable price. My favorite Italian restaurant by far.

I give it five stars because I can't give it six. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The veal piccata was absolutely wonderful as was the Caesar salad. I found out that the Caesar dressing and the marinara is all made in house and you can definitely tell the difference. You really know that it's fresh. If you are in the mood for Italian food, then this is the restaurant for you. I don't think you will be disappointed.
