Hidden behind an out of business nightclub and located in the building that used to house a Mexican restaurant, Ocean Springs has it's own Lil Italy....restaurant that is....The eatery was previously located in a sort of trailer/food truck setting on North Washington Ave. My husband and I have eaten here twice recently and still need to return because there are such a wide array of items on the menu, including: soups, salads, bbq, pasta, pizza, Chicago style hot dogs and Italian beef, gyros, steaks and much more.
Interestingly enough, The King greeted us, as our waitress led us to our table in the friendly, casual dining restaurant.....Elvis is replaced by local, live entertainment later in the evening.
The spacious dining area is great for large groups or small.....
A nice bar with tv and an attentive bartender provides another option for dining or a quick drink.
On to the menu......a quick look at the many choices and......I decided on the Chicago style hot dog with fries a bargain at $4.99!
Quite yummy, right down to the neon green pickle relish and peppers.........I really shoulda ordered a double!!
Meat eater sitting next to me ordered the rib eye, which comes with soup or salad, potato and bread for $20.95. Picture speaks for itself.......and on the return visit we sat at the bar and the bartender was happy, and interested in serving us. She actually seemed to enjoy her job and her customers!!! You go, girl!!We ordered an Italian beef with fries (7.95) and the gardenier pepper mixture on it was spicy and tangy!!
I ordered the baked ziti with sausage....(I know the picture looks a little weird or maybe the sausage does) BUT IT WAS ANOTHER GREAT TREAT!!! The sauce was very delicious and made the dish. This meal also came with a soup or salad and bread (8.99) (unfortunately, I did not get the bread) but I was not able to finish my pasta, so it was just as well............
Lil Italy is located on Highway 90 in Ocean Springs and are open for lunch and dinner every day..........check their website and like them on Facebook. BUONO APPETITO!!!
