"Some places are beautiful, whatever the end outcome maybe, it is still beautiful and you just fall in love with the set up. Mauricio's is beautiful. A house converted into an Italian restaurant, one of the very few fancy places to eat at in Cookeville. We have been wanting to go here for a while and finally ended up going last Saturday. <br/ <br/ We were greeted by the hostess when we entered, we had a reservation at 7 and were shown to our table. We would have gotten a table without reservation too, but it was a bit crowded. Our adjacent table was too close to us, we did not mind, wonder if they did. We were told the specials by our waitress and we glanced at our menu and waited to order. They have alcoholic beverages served too. Here is what we ordered:<br/ <br/ Caesar Salad (I don't think my friend was too happy with it <br/ Spaghetti (I chose no meat, but I am not a major fan of tomato and it had too much of it. Nevertheless, tasted fine <br/ Four Cheese Ravioli (This tasted nice <br/ Chicken Melanese (My friend said that it was amazing. The crust was crispy and the chicken was juicy, which is apparently a very rare combination to achieve <br/ <br/ All of us went for petite portions, and it suffices your hunger but you feel you could eat a little more. Everyone has gone through that feeling! : Once we ordered our waitress brought salad and bread for the table. This was nice. Is this going to be one of my favorite places to eat at? Probably not because it's a little pricy and I did not enjoy the food as much. But, I would definitely go here if an occasion demands a nice place for dinner!"
