This was our first time coming, and we will definitely be back! The food is amazing, service was the best, and the chef was super friendly. The portions were large and you can tell the chef takes pride in preparing each meal. Highly recommend! 👏

Highly recommend. I got the taste of Italy combo and everything was superb. The chicken parm was better than I had in New York on little Italy.

My husband and I decided we wanted to go to a drive-in theater, we also wanted pizza. We are in Bella Vista, AR, right at the MO state line. The closest drive-in to us is in Carthage, MO. We looked up the closest place to get Pizza that wasn't a chain and found this gem, Taste of Italy! We got the 16in Alfredo pizza. It was absolutely the BEST pizza I have EVER tasted. The crust was perfectly crisp, all the way to the center. The ingredients that were used were fantastic. I have had great pizza in the past from all over and have never been this impressed. We liked it so much that we took the hour drive back the next week so that we could try a red sauce pizza. We ate dine in and ordered The Italian. Again, perfectly crisp crust and fantastically delicious toppings. We want to go back for a dine in again to try the pastas, and I'm sure we'll get a pizza to go as well! Chef Aleks' skills are incomparable!!

From the moment we walked in and heard the owners voice (super thick and authentic, which is what I'd want if someone is advertising "authentic" food) I knew the food would be amazing! And was I ever right! The service was great all the way to the owner himself asking how our food was and being so friendly while we paid the bill. We will absolutely be repeat customers and our only complaint will be that they aren't closer to our home?

Our experience was AMAZING!! The whole time we questioned how we had never been here before. Our server was so attentive and kind and gave us amazing food recommendations! As soon as we were greeted by the owner and heard his accent, we knew we were about to eat amazing food! As we were leaving I told him it was my aunts birthday and he was quick to grab her dessert before we left! Such a kind man and an amazing restaurant!!
One of the best Italian restaurants we've eaten at in the 4states area...

SO Mother-lovin LOUD. A full-on sensory assault. The space is cavernous and filled with super loud piano music - my table was 5 ft away and all the shrill notes were painful, which was a shame because it should be a lovely beautiful treat to enjoy live piano during dinner. All the conversations were echoing everywhere, loud silverware clanging, you can hear everything happening in the kitchen, and I guess it was the manager wandering around yelling out and screaming lyrics and shouting across the place to talk to various staff & just generally being 7x louder than nessecary. It was EXTREMELY PAINFUL and grating. Plants? Screens? Dim the lighting & soften the music anyone? Food was meh. I regret my decision to come here. 2% fee to pay with a card? What is this - 1989?? Never coming back.
HOWEVER waitress Addie was FANTASTIC. She quickly replaced my dirty silverware with new clean ones and my food arrived promptly. She had that uncanny perfection of breezing by to check on me at all the right times & leaving me alone to eat at all the right times. Thank you.

Really nice atmosphere. Plenty of space and good looking decor. There was live piano playing during our meal and it really added to the ambiance. The staff were very friendly and made sure that we were comfortable and served at all times. And then the food was fantastic! The stuffed mushrooms were large and very good. And i would highly recommend the Taste of Italy. Plenty of scallops, the shrimp were large and bursting with flavor, and the sauce was superb!

Two of my friends and I, from a different state, stopped to eat. The staff was running around trying to take of all the tables. The man, who seemed to be in charge was yelling at the staff so loud. We could him over the piano music. Out of the three meals that ordered, one was not eatable and one was fine, the other one was sent back due to the scorched taste. When we went to pay the bill, we let them know how the food was. I paid the entire bill, but thought they should know, so the next customer would have a better experience. The man said to my friend, mame there is nothing wrong with your food and you need to leave. I told the man we could here him yelling at the staff and that was not appropriate. We were asked to leave. The staff didn't deserve to be treated like that, nor did any of the customers that heard it, including us. Very sad situation to have that kind of behavior so close to the Precious Moments Chaple. Shame on him and may God forgive you.
Great food, Great staff. We will be back!
