We enjoy dining at Taste on special occasions, and when we want delicious Italian food with impeccable service. Every meal we've tried at Taste has been fresh and plentiful. The lemon basil sauce is wonderful!

First time at restaurant and it was worth the drive from Alabama. Really enjoyed the appetizer sampler but the spinach dip could use more seasoning. Pizza and pork chop was great.....Nice atmosphere.

I really like Taste Starkville but had a bad experience yesterday. I had never tried the Tuna Sandwich so I gave it a shot. It was horrible. It was bland, too spicy, and the bread was too dense. I had to box it up but I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I asked to speak to a manager and I very nicely told him (Cameron) that I couldn't eat the sandwich. He offered me a carry-out bowl of soup. I declined. I expected to have something taken off of my bill.
