An amazing find while in town for an event. The food was fantastic and the service was great! Family owned and operated. I will definitely be back next time I'm in OS!

The waitress was always on her phone and she seemed very disinterested and we were the only other couple in there

The food was okay. The Aribiata pasta was full of oil and the calimari was tasty and fresh but the quantity was too little. The service was okay cause our waitress was new and honestly we didn’t mind, but she made a mistake by not telling us that the dipping oil was not complimentary as she offered it with the complimentary bread. When we received the bill and inquired about this, the owner was reluctant to take it off the bill and was persistent. Eventually they did take it off the bill but honestly it seemed unfair to us and to the waitress. Overall, I won’t be coming here again. The food wasn’t worth the price and wasn’t all that good anyway.

First, an AC vent dripped on me, so I moved to another seat. Then, we had to ask for drink refills, which I never have to ask for even at Waffle House or Denny's. The plate that my salad came on was too small to accommodate it due to having to cut the grilled chicken on top. Then, I asked for a to go container, and the server dropped it on the floor. She then picked it up and gave it to me! Gross!

The service was fine. Our waitress was ok. No bread service even though there was butter on the table so I ordered the appetizer garlic knots. They were 5 knots, tough and not much garlic or oil on them. The Greek salad was a decent amount of romaine, a few diced tomatoes, some cheap sliced olives and a light sprinkling of feta. The spaghetti was just ok. I expected a nice marinara, but it seemed plain and flavorless. I chose this restaurant because it was highly rated on Google. Sorry to say I didn’t enjoy anything about it. There was an industrial fan that made it seem like they have water/dampness issues. I hope this helps someone.

Truly outstanding food. We were on a family vacation and thankfully we discovered this hidden gem. Our waitress Faison recommended several dishes that we all enjoyed. The garlic knots and the chicken wings were an excellent start to a great evening. From the decor to the service to the meal this restaurant compares favorably to the fine restaurants in NYC, Atlanta and DC that our family has enjoyed in the past. Looking forward to our next trip to Biloxi.

Great food and service. We shared the Tour of Italy. (Lasagna, parm chicken, and fettuccine Alfredo) with the rolls that are magnificent.

I’ll cut right to the chase- we ordered the chicken parmesan and veal parmesan. These are usually safe bets but steer clear of these dishes here. The worst I’ve ever had. They are using frozen, pre-battered chicken breast and a pre-battered veal patty of some sort. I was mistakingly, served the veal and told it was chicken. It looked strange, but I took a bite and could not figure out what I was tasting, but everything about it was very offputting. Then the server walked up with a second dish for my friend and called that chicken Parmesan as well. She had ordered the veal and that’s when they figured out they had given me the veal by mistake. I was just about to send it back when they took the plate from me and passed it on to my friend who awkwardly accepted it. I had already cut into the “veal” patty and had taken a bite. This is so unacceptable! The servers were all very sweet, teenage girls, but totally clueless about restaurant service or the menu. We sat outside, which was nice because there was a breeze. Unfortunately, there is nothing redeeming about the Italian Garden in Ocean Springs. There is never an excuse to use a frozen, premade product like that and charge a premium price. I felt like I was eating a school cafeteria meal from the 1970s and that’s putting it nicely. Such a shame! We won’t be back.

For an Italian place this is pretty sub par.
The garlic knots were pretty decent and the calamari was great.
The lasagna on the other hand was pretty meh. Tasted just like a crappy takeout pizza place lasagna. And when asked if I wanted parm she brings out the damn powdered dried Kraft crap!!!!
The chicken primavera was chewy and the Alfredo sauce was very watery. The sautéed veggies were great.
Also the online menus and google menus do not match in store.
So for what you spend you could just order Pizza Hut or dominos and get the same boring quality and flavor.

Really enjoyed this restaurant. House salad was excellent, as well as garlic knots. I ordered the lasagna which was better than expected. I'm from NYC and the lasagna would never measure up. But, it was tasty. The ambiance was also very pleasant. The only issue was the young waitress. I'm trying to be kind because she might be a nice young lady but she was absolutely miserable. No smile! She seemed like she was close to tears. I pray that whatever negative is going on in her life is resolved quickly.

Food was surprisingly spectacular. Italian Garden was a backup plan that turned out to be the highlight of the night. Staff was young and not well versed in the service industry (dropped a rolled set of silverware on the ground and gave them to customer anyway), but she polite and personable. Parking in Ocean Springs can be challenging at times, but the adjacent, dedicated parking area was ample at our visit. Ambiance was a stereotypical attempt to bring 'old world Italy' into a local dining experience, but it was tastefully done none the less.
