We had such a wonderful dinner at Tarasque Cucina to celebrate my daughter’s 11th birthday. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff made us feel right at home. The butter noodles were absolutely delicious, rich, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. We also loved the spaghetti and the shrimp Alfredo. Both were full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The hummus was one of the best I have had in a long time. I am a big fan of hummus so my standards are high and this truly impressed me. The covered patio was very relaxing and pleasantly cool for a summer evening. My birthday girl enjoyed every moment and felt so special. Two entrees and an appetizer were more than enough for our...
I have no idea what all the positive reviews are about. I never review anything but I went with my entire family and everything we ordered was absolutely terrible. I had heard amazing things about their garlic bread and so of course that was our appetizer. I would make a joke along the lines of more like garlic brick but there was no garlic or butter to be found. No flavor at all except a bunch of grated parmesan over the top. Also why would I want bread served refrigerated? Everyone hyped this place up but at the end of the day the patio is overgrown and it is in some ratchet house and is flavorless and awful. I can honestly not remember the last time I had gone to a restaurant where the fo...
We had our wedding dinner at Tarasque at the end of May, it was 26 people and it was amazing, as always. I cannot express enough how wonderful every one was and how grateful we are for their service. The only thing my husband and I wanted out of our wedding was a quick ceremony and food from Tarasque. I literally planned our wedding around the students being gone and Tarasque being available. We live in Wisconsin but my parents are still in Mississippi so whenever we have the opportunity to drive through Oxford, we eat here or pick up a massive take away order to freeze. Lauren, John, and the team at Tarasque is one for the books. Please do yourself a favor and grab your favorite bottle of w...
Tarasque Cucina is fantastic for both dining in and takeout. I particularly love their patio dining area when the weather is pleasant. The service is outstanding; the staff makes you feel right at home the moment you arrive. The food is truly remarkable. I highly recommend the butterbean hummus, charred radicchio, and Capellini Puttanesca (especially if you enjoy capers and olives), as well as their mint tea. Don't miss out on their small plates, which change weekly and feature seasonal ingredients. A bonus is that you can bring your own alcoholic beverages! If you happen to forget something, Kiamie's Package, located right in front of Tarasque, is a convenient option. You won’t be disappoin...

Tarasque is my favorite restaurant in Oxford. The food is outstanding and the waitstaff are very kind. The owner seems to know all the regulars and as a result it creates a Cheers like effect where everyone knows your name. While you can 't go wrong with any entre, I highly recommend splurging on the butterbean hummus as an appetizer.
We love this place! The food is unique and absolutely tasty, the people are very friendly, and the service is fast (maybe partly due to the type of the food, but no delays even when it's fully packed). Go grab some wine at the liquor store next door, and if you run out, go pick up some more!
What a fantastic spot! Don’t let the lower prices fool you—this place serves food that rivals the best restaurants in town. They don’t offer alcohol, but you can bring your own, with a liquor store conveniently located right in front of the restaurant.
The food at Tarasque Cucina is absolutely incredible! The portions are very generous, and the menu offers complex, flavorful dishes that even my kids enjoyed. Plus, the meatballs are huge—almost as big as your head!
