Nestled in the heart of Carthage, Taste of Italy's menu delivers a well-balanced blend of traditional Italian comfort food and chef-driven specialties that speak to both authenticity and flavor. One of the standout starters is the Toasted Ravioli, perfectly crisped on the outside with a warm, cheesy filling inside, paired with a robust marinara. For those craving pasta, the Fettuccine Alfredo is rich and silky, generously coated in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce that doesn’t overpower the fresh pasta. Meat lovers will appreciate the Lasagna, layered high with seasoned beef, ricotta, and melted mozzarella—hearty without being heavy.
The Chicken Marsala is a highlight among the entrées, served in a velvety mushroom wine sauce that complements the tenderness of the chicken. Equally impressive is the Eggplant Parmigiana, which strikes a perfect balance between crispness and softness, all smothered in melted cheese and tomato sauce. The Spaghetti with Meatballs, while a classic, is elevated here by the house-made meatballs—moist, flavorful, and generously portioned.
Pizza is not overlooked either. The Margherita Pizza brings simplicity to the forefront with fresh basil, tomatoes, and mozzarella atop a perfectly blistered thin crust. Meanwhile, the Meat Lovers Pizza offers a bold contrast, loaded with sausage, pepperoni, and Canadian bacon, each bite packed with smoky, savory flavor.
Seafood fans will enjoy the Shrimp Scampi, where plump shrimp are sautéed in butter, garlic, and lemon, then tossed with linguine for a refreshing yet indulgent dish. On the lighter side, the Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken offers a crisp, tangy break between heavier courses.
Every item feels thoughtfully prepared, with portion sizes generous enough to share yet crafted well enough to satisfy solo diners. Taste of Italy’s menu doesn’t just check off the boxes of Italian cuisine—it builds a strong identity around hearty, flavorful cooking that feels like home.
