Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Went here after a late conference presentation. The good places were packed, and many of the lunch places were closed. It was pretty good pizza for not having a plan. if you are tired and don't want to go out, you could do worse. The pizza isn't worth a trek, but it's fine if you're tired and nearby.

I felt like my wife and I were taking a chance since I didn't know anything about this place, and we were. We shared a house salad and chicken Florentine. I could've made a much better salad at home with items from the grocery store. And the house Italian dressing was nothing special - a little sweet for my liking. The chicken Florentine wasn't awful, but I wish I would've ordered something else. Our waitress was nice and looked like she works hard for a living, and the speed of the service was acceptable. The one highlight was the fried ravioli appetizer - I truly did enjoy this, but certainly not enough to ever go back. I didn't waste any money on dessert since the salad and main course were disappointing. The take home point: they tried to make it worth my time and money but it wasn't - go someplace else.

Quite possibly the worst pizza place I've ever been to. We went in around dinner time on a weekday. There was only one other group there. Not only was the pizza ridiculously overpriced, but it was also low quality. The menu was also unclear about pricing of larger pizzas. The restaurant itself is a typical greasy pizza joint that appeared to be set up for the late night post-bar crowd (the pizza may have tasted good if we were inebriated). Bottom line: I would have rather gone to Little Caesar's.

The buffet is good if you take your lunch at 12:00 anytime after that is a hit or miss on when they shut down the buffet.

Ok portion for the price for dinner. Got the shrimp scampi, and the sauce tasted heavy in garlic powder. For a butter based sauce, it was fairly powdery and nasty. Good breadsticks and salad. Fast service, not many choices on a Sunday night. Biggest complaint is the staff. They were loudly, and quite I appropriately slamming each other out in front of the few of us in there. If I hadn't already ordered and paid, I would have walked out.

Having ordered delivery from here a few times and carried out pizza a few more times, I definitely recommend this place if you're just looking for good, greasy pizza (I can't comment on anything other than pizza as that's all I've had). The prices can be a little high, especially for delivery, but if you ask when you go for carry out they usually have a few specials that make the price much more reasonable. I would not go here expecting gourmet Italian, but that's clearly not what they're marketing either. Overall, solid pizza that's better than any delivery chain, but could stand to lower its prices a bit.

Tonight me and my girlfriend decided to try this place because the value seemed good. It took them over an hour to deliver 3 entrees including a cheese burger, chicken alfredo, and baked ziti. when we finally got our order EVERYTHING was cold and absolutely disgusting. The lettuce on my burger was slimy and wilted and the tomatoes were the same. The ziti and alfredo had little to no sauce and bone dry pasta. When i called to complain and ask for a new order or a refund the man said there was nothing he could do for me and i was SOL. He then proceeded to curse me out in an irate fashion. So unless u enjoy cold disgusting food and and love to be told to go f yourself i would try pizza hut before these guys.

Awful. Just. Awful. Terrible and rude service, hour and a half delivery time (when quoted half an hour on the phone), bland and low quality food. Just skip it.

Great food at a great price with friendly service. They are kind of slow with their service at night...but not too bad. I wouldn't have minded if I didn't happen to be in a hurry....

The pizza is okay, nothing to write home about but there are other items on the buffet that are pretty decent. I won't be making the trip from my house if I really want Italian food but it's a decent enough spot for a quick lunch. The staff made me feel right at home though...I was ignored and nobody seemed to care anything about me after I gave them my money.

When you say endless pizza, I say - TELL ME MORE. The lunch buffet here will be sure to impress. What is great about Taste of Italy is both the thematic Italian checkered decor and the addition of traditional items on the buffet. Many Italians make their salad with olives, tomato, onion, garlic and chopped lettuce covered in Italian Dressing (that is oil, vinegar and herbs). Taste of Italy has this on the salad bar as well as the make your own salad fixings. They typically have a meat, cheese and vegetable pizza on the buffet. Also, they buffet has meatballs, spaghetti, red sauce, a baked pasta, a pasta with chicken and pasta with Alfredo. For just under $10, you can eat enough to cover the expense of dinner. The staff are very attentive and will consider requests. Buon divertimento!

At lunch this place gives three bars in one: pasta bar, pizza bar, and salad bar. Ci-C's does NOT have to worry. The salad bar - fair. The pasta bar - pretty good as far as selection even though some items were unidentifiable. The pizza bar - limited and quality was so-so. To be fair I have to admit that I had my spaghetti and sauce were on the same plate as the pizza, so that made the crust soggy. I would like to try again soon on separate plates. If you're hungry you could get a fair deal here for the price. If you're going for quality Italian food try the menu as the selections sound delicious. Many buffet restaurants I have tried have better items on menu than the buffet.

This is a great DIY restaurant. You sit yourself and you wait. Then you decid when you want to ask the waitress when she'll come to your table. Then after you order drinks and food, you proceed to go and fill up your own glasses of water because the waitress is busy. They make baked potatos turn into french fries by the powers osmosis.

This place has some damn good calzones but be prepared because they're huge. Also, don't exactly expect service with a smile.

It's ok if you are looking for a quick pizza buffet for your lunch hour. Their pizza has a thin hand tossed crust. Not a fan of thin or hand tossed pizza but more so a fan of deep dishes. Not too bad though for a quickie. :)

Ordered delivery from them on a Thursday night. They said 30-45 minutes. Around an hour later called and they said they forgot the order and it would be 15 minutes. 25 minutes later we called to say forget it and they said it was out for delivery. So steer clear of delivery.

Pizza not bad but ridiculous delivery time .... says 45 mins to 1 hour on the phone and delivers in 1.5 hours. Don't order when you are hungry. Call in the morning if you want it for dinner.

I don't know what Italy tastes like, but I'm sure this ain't it. This is the furthest thing from pizza I've ever had! How this place has 3 stars is beyond me. The first time in my life I took one bite of pizza and threw it in the trash right in front of the wanna be Italian owner. What a joke! Didn't really feel the need to try anything else. Couldn't suck more. Suckers eat here! When a place is as dirty on the inside as this, hit the door running. FYI, in the arcade there is an old school pizza joint that had the most amazing slices, they use and actual pizza oven, not a pizza hut style conveyer belt.

We had dinner here last week. One of the cheapest place in Nashville for a piece of veal. We had the veal parmesan and the veal marsala for $13.99 each. Both came with a mixed green salad and spaghetti with sauce. Also 2 pieces of garlic sticks. Not the greatest but it is filling. Most of the people were there for pizza.

After a bad experience at Fleet Pub around the corner in Printer's Alley..I had very few minutes left of my lunch time..so I stopped in at Taste of Italy. I had never been here before and they offer a lunch buffet for $7.95. I didn't have enough time during my lunch to seat and eat there, but the buffet looked like there was some choices, so I probably would have if not in a hurry. The lady behind the counter said I could choose 2 slices off the buffet for $4.00 with taxes it was $4.26 so I chose a slice of each supreme style slices since I prefer veggies on my pizza..the only other option was a ham and pineapple...Not a fan personally..but they all looked appetizing. They also have bread sticks and salad on the buffet.. I thanked her and grabbed my purchased and walked back to my office. The pizza smelled good but it was not very hot. I arrived back at my cubical and ate my lunch in the 10 minutes I had left..not good to gulp...but hey, I should have just ate downstairs at Chic filet or gone to Panera...my two standbys..I wanted to be adventurous and try some new location...to my unhappy experience all I received for my efforts was 15 wasted minutes at the Pub in the Alley, and two slightly cold over priced for the food quality slices of pizza and a tummy ache for gulping my food down in a hurry and some fast paced sweat breaking walking through town...Well at least I did get some EXERCISE..I guess that was the PERK REWARD.. I might do this restaurant again, if I had time to sit down and enjoy the inside atmosphere and order a entire pizza pie to share with my family..might be a total different experience. I am not blaming them for the cold pizza, it is not their fault I wasted most of my lunch at the joint around the corner..so I will definitely recommend that you try Taste of Italy and form your own opinion..I am definitely going to try them AGAIN...I love pizza and their sauce had a good taste...

I don't like to give out one star ratings much, but this place deserves it. 1. Service - slow and painful (and I went when only 3 tables were full) 2. Pizza - way to watery (clearly stuff from the can). Basil can only disguise so much 3. Dessert tasted like stuff bought from the grocery store Basically... it is no taste of Italy... more like taste of greasy pizza that attempts to disguise itself with spice overload

This is the worst pizza I have ever had. Terrible dough, nasty sauce, and we were the I only customers in the place. That should have been a sign. I would rather have frozen pizza then have to eat that disgusting pizza.
