Stopped in Cookeville last minute for overnight stay. Found this restaurant and lucky enough to get a last minute reservation. The service was impeccable. Our server was very knowledgeable and made wonderful recommendations to drinks and food. Would definitely come back and hope locals know what a wonderful gem they have!!
Recommended dishes: Chicken Parmesan, Side of Focaccia Bread, Salad, Fettuccine Alfredo

Excellent experience for family birthday. Coconut breaded cod was special dish of the day. Certainly recommend the Lamb!

We absolutely love everything about Mauricio’s! The food is incredible - always full of flavor, with the service being top tier, all served up in quaint cozy atmosphere.
Fantastic service and very friendly atmosphere. Never an empty glass and food was delicious. Thanks to Kate and Randi for making our anniversary so very special???????

They really serve you up there. Salad and bread comes with your entree. We ordered calamari and caprese as an app. Then we had lobster ravioli and chicken parm and two bottles of wine. Honestly is about 10 percent more expensive than Olive Garden and 100 percent better
Nice restaurant, good food and cocktail. Would return.

The best restaurant in Cookeville to celebrate your Valentine's Day sweetheart! The violinist was a very special treat! That you Mauricio's for a fabulous Valentine's experience. If only I could give you 10 stars! You deserve it!Wheelchair accessibility: It's a long ramp but it is accessible.

Ambience is nice. Waitress a little over the top, with the question "How excellent was the food today?"A simple, "How's your meal today?" is best.Food was good. The bread, I'd prefer warm, sliced, good bread with a little butter (that I apply), than the thinly sliced pizza, cheese, garlic, olive oil bread. Their bread was good, but together with the rich tasting meal, it was too much.Dietary restrictions: I think they are helpful with someone that is intolerant. Their salads are good.
The Truth
If I could rate it ZERO stars I would but there's no option. Horrible experience, probably would have had a better experience at the Olive Garden or the local pizzeria. What a shame, we had higher expectations since this place was featured on TN Crossroads as a fine dining establishment. What a big rip off. Big mistake for selecting this place for a birthday dinner. I made reservations in and discussed that I would like a private table closest to the fireplace. Unfortunately when we arrived, the hostess seated us opposite the table we requested and said that table was already reserved. We said that we called ahead of time and specifically asked for that but she stated that it was already reserved for someone else coming in later unless you want to sit by the bar. No we declined sitting by the bar and said that it's ok we'll just sit there. Forget about the ambiance, unfortunately the larger table was a family who kept discussing politics which was very distasteful. The tables are too adjacent to each other that you can hear their conversation. We ordered the calamari which was very tiny a handful on a plate, but the family next to us who ordered the exact same appetizer had a larger pile of calamari. They call this focaccia??? More like a flat bread. We had the large Seafood Mauricio what a shame came recommended as a best seller. We received tiny bowls with 3 pieces of shrimp, 2 scallops, some tiny mushroom spinach on top a creamy alfredo consistency pasta.There were no lobster pieces in the dish as advertised on the menu. We initially asked if they would be able to sub the linguini with angel hair, server said that they were running low on it and may have a little bit left. We said never mind then, it's fine let's just leave it with linguini and repeated it twice. They ended up still giving us the angel hair which clearly they didn't have enough of and which seemed child like portions. So much for touting large portion sizes in TN Crossroads. What a shame. The sangria was basically a glass of full of ice with watered down beverage. What a rip off and utter disappointment. Don't recommend this place for any type of celebration. Never returning to this place.
