You can tell she loves her job and is proud of her cook. This place may not look fancy like other Italian restaurants with dim lighting, fancy deco, but her food speaks for itself. Her salad is always fresh and flavorful. We had avocado salad. It's not just a bed of mix green with avocado slices. There's apple slices, mixed green, every piece is lightly covered with rich and refreshing dressing. The pizza is not the usual pizza from pizzeria, she made it from scratch. It has its own texture. Pork lasagna is light! It is not the typical thick pasta layers. Everything is made from scratch. We love it. My friend said it's more northern Italian cooking. It's not loaded with red tomato sauce. The pasta is thinner, the ground pork is tender. Then comes my favorite short rib ravioli. I'm usually not a fan of ravioli, because they're always full of cheese and nothing else, but Susy's is full of short rib. Just meat, not trying to cheat with cheese or cream. If I want real authentic Italian food, I'll come here. I love how Susy will stop by the table, chat with us, told us what tv show she's watching. When she's excited, she'll talk with her hands, what an adorable lady. One thing to keep in mind, it's a one person's does it all, so it'll take a bit longer to get your food. Come in hungry but not too hungry so you don't get hangry!

The pizza was also good but very mid tier and the service left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately we were trying to use rewards that we had but they would not let us redeem them. We then ordered and paid then sat down and after they had brought all our food the workers came to our table and told us we didn't pay and had to go pay again, we even had an email showing the transaction but they were very rude and kept telling us to pay again. We then had our meal interrupted twice more by the staff while we were eating asking if we were waiting for food still which made it seem very disorganized and they also were not very polite about it. They seemed to be angry with us which made the whole experience pretty unpleasant.

One of the things I appreciated about dining here is the story behind the restaurant. Siragusa's…read moreTaste of Italy is a locally owned, family-run restaurant that was opened in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Ross and April Siragusa. Ross grew up in a large Italian family in Chicago and wanted to bring the classic "old-school" Italian flavors he grew up with to Utah after finding they were hard to come by when he moved here. The restaurant is located in Taylorsville, about 10-15 minutes southwest of downtown Salt Lake City, making it an easy stop whether you're staying in the city or exploring the surrounding area. Always great to spend time with family, and this was the perfect place to do it! We had a fantastic dinner. The calamari was crispy, tender, and delicious. The gnocchi was flavorful and comforting, and my steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare. The restaurant is much larger than it looks from the outside, with a spacious banquet area in the back that's perfect for private parties and family celebrations. Even though it was a busy weeknight, the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. There's plenty of parking, and they can easily accommodate both small groups and large family gatherings. Cheers--I look forward to coming back!

I really enjoyed the prosciutto and melon, a little sweet a little salty, which I wouldn't have thought to put together myself. But the ravioli salmone was nothing short of incredible. The salmon was tender and the lobster sauce was to die for. It took every ounce of strength in me to eat it slowly and savor it. I could've eaten a large bowl of that. The little dollop of caviar was a nice touch.

I want to be able to describe my lasagna as cheesy. I am absolutly in love with the white bread garlic bread because it is what I was raised on and I feel like my mom made dinner every time they bring it to our table. On my second trip I ordered the 1/2 chicken parm 1/2 tortellini and I ordered the alfredo instead of the red sauce. Friends, this is where Italian Village shines! The sauce was perfection. I appreciate that it is a thin sauce because alfredo can get heavy quick. The flavor was perfectly balanced. Not a parm bomb but a blend of cheese, garlic, milk, salt, perfection. I usually like my chicken parm a little crispy on the edges so I was worried when it came out swimming like my lasagna but it mananaged to be cheesy (longest cheese pull ever), and still maintain a good bite and crispt edges. No complaints. Also you can't beat the price point

Since it was my first visit, I wasn't sure how ordering worked, but they were happy to point me in the right direction. They have separate counters for phone order pickups and for dine-in/takeout orders, which made everything easy once I knew the process. I ordered the half Italian sandwich, and they definitely don't skimp on the ingredients. It was so packed that I had a hard time keeping it closed! The tomatoes absolutely stole the show--they were some of the best I've ever had on a sandwich and added incredible freshness. The bread was perfectly fresh, and every bite was loaded with flavor. The portions are generous, I only managed to eat half of my half before I was full. Considering the quality and portion size, the value is outstanding. This has definitely earned a spot on my list of must-visit places whenever I'm in Salt Lake City.
