I arrived around 2:45 on Saturday. Taste is located in Renaissance in Ridgeland. This location has housed two other Italian restaurants in the past. This is a very beautiful, bright, and inviting restaurant.
They were very busy still. There were several large tables and people walking in and out. I was alone so I asked to sit at the bar. The bar had obviously been busy too as there were no clean seats but they cleaned one for me. I was hoping the crowd had died down a little bit after the lunch rush but hey, it’s always a good sign to be busy! I waited several minutes for service. The bar tender was busy making many drinks for the restaurant and they seemed to be going through a shift change as well.
I enjoyed a Grey Goose Lemon Drop Martini while I waited on my appetizers; Fried Calamari and Bruschetta. The Fried Calamari was delicious. It was served with Marinara and what the menu called a citrus aioli. I loved the marinara but the citrus aioli just tasted like cold Alfredo sauce which I didn’t think complimented the Calamari like the delicious Marinara did.
The bread that is served with the Bruschetta is divine. It is crunchy on the outside edges but soft and chewy in the middle. Bruschetta is one of my absolute favorite appetizers and while I loved the bread, the flavors were a little off for me. The bruschetta toppings seemed really watered down. The tomatoes were just too mushy for my liking.
I ordered a simple Pepperoni and Mushroom for us to enjoy later at home.
I finished my dining experience with a basil lemon drop while waiting on my to-go pizza. The bartender was happy to grab some fresh basil from the kitchen and it was so good and refreshing. Y’all should try it! I’m looking forward to taking my husband with me to Taste and trying some of their other dishes.

We are in from PNW for hubbys employment & this was our 1st of what I’m sure will be many more visits. Let’s start with the ⭐️of the evening. Ranada was our server & attentive would be an understatement. She was thoughtful $ helped us with understanding menu items ingredients & was
Quite knowledgeable
Now let’s get to the meal
We tried the appetizer plate with the rice balls, fried cheese ravioli & spinach artichoke dip. Those “chips”. OMG is an understatement- the dip is subtle & PERFECT! It’s so so so good
Dinners? We NEVER choose lasagna in restaurants anymore we are always disappointed. We all hate wasting good, hard earned $$$ & I have never tasted any zag better than mine. Until tonight. I made the exception so I could share with hubby & I am grateful for doing so. It came in its own pan~ it was so freaking yummy. Well, tbh one side was red & one white. Due to having bigger eyes than a stomach – I have yet to try the other white sauce side of it. (I will edit when I do “taste” it~ which will be midnight tonight in the dark where there will plausable deniability. edit: hubby got to it first
Hubby had the Lobster risotto -which was a 1st for me. It was creamy & rich. The lobster was plentiful& bigger pieces. Worth every bite. The bread? I waited & figured sourdough. I was so happy when it wasn’t.
Now let’s talk about getting ready to leave. Again Ranada, she boxed up 1st the appetizers & she was cognitive of my issues with food touching. She did a better job than I would have! Then she boxed up our leftovers the exact same way. With care. I cannot say enough good things about your staff.

First time at Taste. Tried to go before w/o reservations. Long wait so no go. Lesson learned. Make reservations to avoid disappointment. Anyway, place is very nice decorated for holidays. Our server was KiKi who was just super. Great attitude and really knew the menu for great suggestions. I did not find the restaurant overly loud. So on to the food. Five of us went and everyone was happy with food. I had a Cooper filly cheese sandwich which was outrageous. Shaved imported ribeye and boy it was good. Summary: a great place to meet and eat. Very high recommendation.

A Great first impression!!
Taste exceeded expectations. Jasmine was a phenomenal server, funny, helpful and pleasant the entire dining experience.
Tried the app sampler. The spinach and artichoke dip is better than it has any right to be and the wonton chips make it sing. Fried raviolis and arinicinis (fried rice balls stuffed w smoked Gouda) that rival those in Sicily.
Had a supreme pizza. Just the right amount of char in the crust, plenty of toppings and overall good quality!
Excellent drinks and a pretty comfortable atmosphere.
Give Taste a taste!

This experience was truly exceptional. The ambiance was beautifully decorated for Christmas, enhancing the overall atmosphere. The service and culinary offerings were outstanding, making it a worthwhile experience. The pasta was exquisite, and the servers were courteous, friendly, and attentive. Additionally, the soup was delicious and remarkably rich. Each dish was elegantly presented and surpassed the quality of any other restaurant I have visited.

As I walked in, the esthetic was really nice and was hoping it matched the food. IT DID. I enjoyed my pasta, the complimentary bread and the cheesecake was really good. I tasted my friend’s and decided to order my own. I only did 4 stars because the spinach dip and caesar salad could have been better. It was too cheesy and stringy to the point of not being able to scoop with chips. I will be back. It’s worth it. They also have wine to purchase. There’s a whole display of wine bottles.

Updated review- I did speak with
management it didn’t make a difference . He is the one who stated “It was under a heated light so it should not have been cold” and it was only 6 people at the bar no excuse. Take accountability and do better. You have plenty of one star reviews. Read them and improve.
I visit this restaurant for the third time The first time was the grand opening that was the only time the food and customer service was great. I went last night and sat at the bar after a long days work thinking I would be able to unwind, eat some good food. That’s was not the case, we had to flag someone down to get a drink at the bar. I order the chicken Alfredo and my friend ordered the seafood pasta, it took forever for the food to come out people who ordered after us with the same thing we ordered received their food way before us and when it finally came out it was cold we complained they sent it back and I’m assuming put it in the microwave wave because it was still luke warm and the pasta was kind of hard and disgusting. The customer service was also not up to par. I will not be returning

Beautiful place decorated for the holidays. Very kind waitress. However, I asked for no mushrooms and half the plate was full of mushrooms. When told that I had mushrooms on the plate, nothing was offered. I had already picked them all out and had a pile beside my plate so oh well. Otherwise, it tasted good.
That being said, I woke up the next day with vomiting and the runs. Ended up having to go to urgent care because it was so bad. No one else in my house is sick so I suspect food poisoning from the seafood linguine. My husband had chicken Alfredo and has had no issues. Hate that it was like that because the place has potential. I’d go back but need a few months to recover.

My wife and myself stopped Taste Italian Kitchen and had a wonderful meal. The chicken Alfredo had really large chunks of chicken. The sauce was outstanding.my Wife had the shrimp Alfredo and a salad. The iced tea was outstanding.Sharom was our waitress and she did a fine job greeting us getting our drinks sitting down and bringing things and checking on us throughout our meal there was a young man that brought our meal out. His name was James and he is a waiter very polite very well mannered young man I give him credit. There’s a young lady that was cleaning setting tables making sure everything was just right, and her name was Tasha. She did an outstanding job like all of the employees that I saw but the ones that I talked with did an outstanding fine job. I recommend the Taste of Italian kitchen 100%. there is a very short video that shows the windows with a push of a button go from clear vision to opaque. Very cool.

I went to dinner with my mom on our night off to enjoy some time together in a restaurant we new we’d love. Going to restaurants with my mom can be tricky because she’s Vegan and particular about her food. She had the vegan steak and absolutely loved it!! I had the salmon and was very pleased with the final product!! We were seated smoothly and taken care of by Destiny.
Destiny was very calm, friendly, excellent, and articulate! My mother and I enjoyed our time and will be returning again!
