My favorite restaurant in Oxford. We love Tarasque so much! Food is quick and absolutely delicious. A spin on classics that are done perfectly. Our go-to dishes are the butter bean hummus, capellini puttanesca, and the Caesar salad which is made with cabbage. The staff is friendly and inviting. Patio is great.

I’m absolutely amazed with this place! The service was immaculate, as well as the food. You can taste the fresh ingredients in every single bite you take. Definitely consider coming here if you want high quality food and service.Kid-friendliness: Kid-sized spaghetti plates

Tell your UBER driver to TURN AROUND… don’t goto the square… go behind Kiame’s liquor store and get ready to taste the Lamb’s High Feast… no words can describe the fusion of flavors, pasta, sausage, sheik and the sunchokes… whatever that is (from Jesus)… the white bean and Brussel sprout app is worth slaying a 2nd cousin…. No words AND the prices are insanely great! BEST OXFORD RESTAURANT 100%… #JohnCurranceFETALposition

Made from scratch Italian! Food is fantastic and you can brown bag your favorite wines.

Wish I lived closer to Oxford so I could eat there every week. Love the changing menu, have eaten no better in Italy. Pasta wonderful, crave the salads, the hummus, going there tonight and can't wait to eat my way through menu. Always a fun feeling and great service. BYOB works very well too.

We had puttanesca with angel hair pasta and rigatoni and sausage. Both smothered in oil. Tablespoons of oil left in the plate. Flavor wrong for both dishes. We liked the Cesar salad. Friends wanted us to try here once again, and they like it. We don't and won't return.

So good! Everything was fresh and homemade. We had butter bean hummus as a starter. highly recommend! (ask for extra bread). The fried mozzarella basilico was a tasty spin on an old classic. My fave dish was the amberjack with veggies in a tomato broth. The fish was crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly on the inside in a gumbo-like broth with squash and okra. It’s a brown-bag restaurant so stop off at High Cotton Wine & Spirits Warehouse for something to pair with your meal. Also ordering is done at the front door before you go to your table so there’s a bit of a bottleneck just inside the door. Study the menu and have an idea of what you want when you arrive. I know it’s weird to tip prior to the meal, but we had immaculate service. Everyone here is YOUR server and takes care of you. I’m already planning my next meal here!

I regularly go to this restaurant, about once every couple of weeks, or more. The food is very good and they have a nice changing menu. I usually spend around $200-300. However, I will not be back after I was turned away from placing an order tonight. Apparently, they don’t care about those people who regularly patronize their business, and they don’t need me patronage. With Bidenomics in full swing I will just stay home and save my money!!!!

The food here is absolutely amazing. I've been several times with my mom and we get a lot of different dishes and just share. The pasta is more than enough for 2 people and they don't shy away with the meat in the pasta. If you like meatballs they have the biggest I've seen in Oxford and it's good and flavorful. I like getting the green tea to drink which come in a big bucket container. You can BYOB as well. The patio is so cute and can be a great scene and vibe for a girls night out or just a cute date in general. The people here are so nice and the customer service is top notch. The menu does change daily but they do have a few staple item. Try this place and I promise you won't be disappointed.

A plate of pudding? The spaghetti tasted like chef boyardee, and the caesar salad was cut like slaw. This busy little menu promises big things but delivers poorly. Its like an italian bistro but ran like small ice cream shop. I had to get back in line to order after sitting down to look at the menu. You pay and tip before you get any service so there is no reason for them to try and meet your needs. I had to get up and go ask for our dessert at the end. There is no pacing; they brought out my dish 6 minutes before the others because it was a salad. Cold bread, covered in oil and grana but no butter to be seen.
