My husband and I go here for our date nights! We are never disappointed with the food! It's always great along with the service!

I usually come in once or twice a month. The most amazing pastas and alcoholic beverages that I have had yet. Try the jolly rancher Martini for sure and the happy hour makes it a definite plus(2-5 T-Sun). Apart from such utterly delectable food the customer service is always exceptional. I cannot speak for anyone other than myself but this place always fills my expectations of what it is to have a taste of italy.

- Customer service was not great, our food was waiting for us on the counter while the server watched TV and let it sit there. - The food tasted as if it was frozen then heated it in the microwave, I could've cooked better food at home. Not worth having a night out and spending $60 for 2 people.

This is one of our family favorite Italian food spots. The atmosphere and food is worthy of your consideration.

Came here in the middle of the day. First, our waiter started us off with waters and breadsticks which were pretty good. I ordered the carbonara and a vampire martini. The drink was strong and good, very light and refreshing. The carbonara was very delicious and creamy, and had the perfect amount of sauce. I like that they use bacon instead of pancetta; pancetta is very heavy and sometimes overpowers the dish. Our waiter was excellent and I would love to come here again.

Ordered their food through Uber eats. The Alfredo was sweet which doesn't make sense, the grilled chicken on the Alfredo tasted like it came out of a bag of pre grilled chicken strips. The lasagna came cold so I had to reheat in the toaster oven and after a few bites realized something smelled sour, turned out it was the lasagna. It was cold because it was probably old. 0/10 would not recommend!!

Oh emmmm geeeeeee.Never even knew this area was here. And im so glad I stumbled across it. Im in the middle of my food now and just wanted to stop and say wow. It is so freaking good and the server is SO nice and presentable. This is my new favorite place. Im eating the chicken Piccata. And just wow. Come here now. Eat this food. I rarely post reviews and again I stopped eating just to post this. I will come here as often as I can to eat more of this. Also its Christmas time and they're playing the Santa clause. Everything is just perfect.

We order takeout from Taste of Italy maybe once a month. Writing to promote the quality improvements. There was a period several years ago, probably earlier ownership or chef, when we stopped going there. Now it is back and high on our list for Italian food. Last night was just a pizza. Great thin crust with a soft but thicker outer ring. Nice balance of toppings. Earlier orders included pasta dishes. The marinara sauce is delicious.

The food was good. My review is more for this restaurant's lack of professionalism and care for their customer. I placed an order through Uber Eats a little before 6:20. I didn't realize til I checked a few minutes later that it said latest arrival time would be 7:35. Why would it take them over an hour to make pasta? But I wasn't starving yet so I didn't mind waiting til then. I checked back at 7:30, to see that the delivery was delayed because the restaurant "asked for extra time." They had over an hour already, AND I'd even paid a small extra fee for priority delivery?? I couldn't even cancel the order without them taking $42 out of my $48 order because they'd already started it!! My order was finally delivered at 8:05, and I had to re-toast the bread and warm the lasagna up in the microwave. I understand that delivery times would add to the time between ordering and getting my food and would also contribute to my food not being at the right temperature, but I didn't think it would be about 2 hours between ordering and eating, ESPECIALLY when they have the nerve to charge extra for "priority" delivery. The delay was at the restaurant, NOT the delivery, so my issue is with this restaurant not caring for their delivery customers and taking their sweet ash time to prepare the order.

I ordered Penne A La Vodka through Uber Eats and the food was great! It came with two pieces of bread which I could’ve done without. I was a bit underwhelmed when I looked at the pasta because I love a very saucy and creamy pasta but they did not disappoint! The pasta was delicious! I can’t wait to order again! Next time I’ll get extra sauce. Also I paid $5 more for grill chicken added and it was sliced and mixed into the pasta so I fished it out to show what $5 gets you! Anyways I’ll be ordering again for sure!
