Our Story, Shared With You

At Taste of Italy, food is more than a meal—it’s family. Owner Antonio Mattera began his restaurant journey in 2001 in Delaware, driven by a passion for authentic Italian flavors. In 2014, he brought that same passion to Altavista VA, the place he now proudly calls home.

Since then, Taste of Italy has been serving genuine Italian cuisine made with heart, tradition, and the freshest ingredients. Open 7 days a week, our doors are always ready to welcome you. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, we invite you to join our little family and experience the warmth of true Italian hospitality.
