There is something so special about gathering around a dinner table with those that you love and surrounding yourself with good food. That nostalgic experience is always on the menu at Mauricio’s in Cookeville, Tennessee, where dining is as homey, cozy, and inviting as it is delicious. If you have driven by Mauricio’s before, you might have mistaken it for someone's home... which is exactly what it once was.

The two business partners of Mauricio’s have been in the hospitality industry for quite some time. Before they returned to their hometown of Cookeville they operated a club in Miami. That experience led them to start a new business venture in the little town of Cookeville. The owner’s sister owned this historic house and after a little remodeling, they discovered it was a perfect place to host an Italian restaurant.
