One of the best in Ithaca. Great variety of tapas and wine selection. more

We didn't get to the cell phone in time, and figured it was Just a Taste telling us that a table was ready much sooner than expected. So we ran through the drizzle and sure enough, we were seated. To cover the down side quickly, the noise level is high, even for a table of two. The price of popularity,... more

We have been visiting Ithaca for the past five years and always look forward to dinner at Just A Taste. We have never been disappointed with the menu...and everything we taste leaves you wanting more! Its very casual--and that's what we like. We order a great bottle of wine at a very reasonable price and six to ten small plates... more

The dining room is bustling and lively, while, for the summertime, the simple and lovely pleasure of eating outdoors under a... more

I've been coming to Ithaca for about 15 years and have been going to Just a Taste for as long. It's a real love hate relationship. The menu has variety and the food is great, but the core wait staff has a serious attitude problem. Once we came in late, asked if they were still serving and were told yes.... more
