I have never tried it before. I read a review on the internet which made it sound like it tasted really bad and just about inedible.

I am looking for more opinions.

Over the years I've tried a number of brands. Some are quite good, others pretty much inedible.

My wife buys whole wheat pasta (spaghetti) and I love it. What I do (I usually do the cooking on spaghetti night) is take a couple pounds of cooked hamburger and mix it in a nice Ragu sauce. It truly tastes great to me. And the family loves it too.

unfortunately yes I've tried it. Right now I'm stuck living with my grandparents. They're 83 year olds who were raised on farms through the depression. So guess what they eat? A bunch of whole grain organic diet food s***.
My advice, if you're worried about vitamins, is get a bottle of vitamins and regular pasta.

The Catelli brand of whole grain pasta is really good.

I like whole grain breads but find the correlating pasta too bitter.

I eat whole grain pasta at times, for the health benefits. It tastes bad.

I prefer the taste of regular pasta. However, it is bad for you, because your body converts it to sugar very quickly. It takes much longer for whole grain pasta. Additionally, it provides fiber in your diet. So I've learned to enjoy it.

Mum is being all "hippy/detox/organic" now, so yes. It's awful.

Regular pasta for the win!

It's edible but gross. Italians would not be proud.

Yeah, it's pretty good.

It contains an amino acid used in the production of the brain's cuddle hormone. I wouldn't call it gross at all.
