OUR ITALIAN BISTRO
Family roots. Italian soul. Nottingham heart.
Taste Italian isn’t just another Italian restaurant - it’s a slice of real Italy, created by people who live and breathe it.
Our recipes trace back to our family in Puglia, in the south-east of Italy, where James’ grandmother was born.
Every plate tells a story passed down through generations - connecting Nottingham diners with the true flavours of Italy.
Intimate Restaurant. Big Heart
​With 22 covers, Taste Italian is warm, personal, and full of character - perfect for quiet dinners, special celebrations, or private hire with a bespoke menu and wine pairing created just for you. Every table feels like home.
OUR ITALIAN MENU
A menu that evolves - just like Italy
Our menu is intentionally small, seasonal, and full of soul. Every month brings new handmade pasta dishes, Italian desserts, and wines to match our tasting events.
Fresh San Marzano tomatoes, Puglian olive oil, and the finest cheeses from Italy meet local ingredients for dishes that are simple, balanced, and full of flavour.
TASTE ITALIAN NEWS
From vineyard to cup - Italy in every sip.
Our drinks menu is exclusively Italian – from Birranova beers and Terrecarsiche wines imported directly from our family vineyards, to signature Italian cocktails and Illy Coffee, one of only a few places in Nottingham where you’ll find it. Every pour tells its own story.
