This is a must try breakfast/brunch spot! They have people coming to eat until the last minute! We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip for the appetizer. It’s likely the best dip I’ve had but definitely the best homemade chips I’ve had! The chips taste like wontons! I ordered the American Cheese Burger and sweet potato fries. The burger was cooked to order, I ordered medium and the cook nailed it! My wife ordered the Eggs Benedict and she loved it, says it’s 10/10. Our best friend ordered the special, it was BBQ shrimp and grits. She says the shrimp were seasoned perfectly, and the grits were a little greasy. Overall great experience, food, and service! I added pictures of all our plates.

Great breakfast restaurant. Very diverse menu from traditional to omelets. The pancake are huge. The crab omelet was smaller than I expected. My wife and I split one…mistake. Parking was sparse…riding around block several times, but definitely not a reason to not visit.

Love restaurants where you can get breakfast and lunch no matter the time! Chicken Parmigian was chefs kiss and I love a well made bloody mary. And those waffles? Delicious! The servers are so sweet, ask for Jessica!

This is a fantastic restaurant with excellent food and extremely friendly service that is quick, warm, inviting and welcoming. Perfectly cooked eggs benedict. A very cozy and roomy vibe. Located in Covington, LA. this restaurant is sure to please your appetite. Can’t wait til my next visit so I can try out some of the other menu items. Bloody Mary was fantastic. Not strong, not weak, but just right to be paired up with classic eggs benedict. I posted a photo of the bill and some photos of the menu. The menu is no nonsense which I absolutely love. Ever sat down in a restaurant and been handed a menu with 10 pages? I have! And it is overwhelming. Not at Mattina Bella. It’s front and back! Love it. Yall check out my photos and don’t forget to follow me. Safe travels to you all and bon appetit!

Casual classy, artsy bar & dining cafe. Excellent brunch!! Pretty busy when we stopped in, Definitely seems like a locals hotspot in the cute downtown area near the trail & bike shop.

This place is a 15 on a scale of 1-10. I can’t say enough good things about it. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere. Going for brunch, better go early. There is always a wait because it’s seriously that good. The owners have been in the restaurant business a long time, and they have created the quintessential little place in the heart of Covington. You won’t be disappointed.

Had a quick lunch with some buddies and it did not disappoint. The hamburger was top quality and perfectly cooked. Left stuffed and don’t think I ate again that day. All around great experience.

I’ve never been to a breakfast place I which EVERYTHING on the table was PERFECTLY cooked. Can this place start teaching cooking lessons? Seriously, it makes me feel bad that I’m so bad at making breakfast haha! The biscuit was the most heavenly biscuit I’ve eaten. The bacon was crispy, but not burnt, don’t know how they pulled that off. The eggs were fluffy and delightful.

The food was tremendous and cooked perfectly to order…a Benedict Louisiane on grit cakes and a Jumbo Crab Benedict on gluten-free English muffin. Yummmm! The service and atmosphere were excellent! Then I stepped into the bathroom. A dirty sink is just dirty, not antique. Use bleach and elbow grease or just replace. Also concrete floors can be scrubbed and updated. Unfortunate. Covid!
