    The food was very generic and runny. Not what I would expect with the price.

    My husband and I went to Taste Italian Restaurant in Starkville, Mississippi, to celebrate his birthday, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint! I had the lasagna with a glass of Riesling, and y’all, it was so good! The flavors were on point, and the portion size was just right. My husband got the Pasta Milano and paired it with a Mai Tai. The real MVP of the night, though, was our waiter, John. He was super attentive, super patient (especially while we vlogged the whole experience), and just made everything feel easy and fun. If you’re ever in Starkville, definitely check this place out! And if you want to see the food, the vibes, and how the night went down, make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel, The Lewis Vibes. We’ve got the full review and a lot more travel and lifestyle content you’ll love.

    Always a wonderful experience when we eat here! The red fish is the best item on the menu in my opinion.

    Taste has excellent food and service. It is a very classy restaurant with a great restaurant for those special occasions. They were very knowledgeable concerning my gluten-free diet and I was able to order with confidence. I can’t wait to visit again in the near future!
