RIDGELAND, Miss. (WLBT) – The Starkville-based restaurant, Taste Italian Kitchen, opened its second Mississippi location in Ridgeland.
At its initial location, Taste became known within the Starkville community for its artisanal pasta, hand-tossed pizza, grilled entrees, extensive wine list, and family traditions.
“We’ve enjoyed tremendous growth in Starkville and are excited to bring our flavors to the Jackson metro area. This space in Ridgeland offered the perfect fit – and timing – to expand our story,” Executive Chef Shannon Lindell said.
It also features a bar and lounge, private dining rooms, gluten-free or vegan meal options, and a wine and spirits program.
The restaurant serves lunch daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dinner is served Sundays through Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. as well as Fridays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
