(Seriously, I'm not trying to be sm*sh-y here :)
After a long search of decent Italian restaurant in this city, I'm so glad I've finally found the one. Most of the restaurant labeled themselves as Italian here, should really change it into Taiwanese-Italian. Everything is just so localized, I can't hardly taste the sensation of fresh and authentic Italian flavor.
I first went here with my beloved Wenzao mates (miss you girls!), and have fallen in love since. With the menu, with the food, with the decoration and the atmosphere. It's some kind of a perfect place for a romantic Christmas dinner. Although the queue sucks (and you can't make any reservation on the weekend), but queue has always been an implicit guarantee of good restaurant in Taiwan, rite?!
Let's jump to the food. The garlic bread is a must, very nice as an appetizer and you can also have it with the soup of the day. Lasagna and tiramisu are their special offer on Saturday and Sunday. They don't serve any set meal, so everything must be ordered separately. The pasta price is ranging from 100-180 NT. And they will provide you with lemon water if you don't want to order any drink, but how about wine sometimes?

| Penne with spicy tomato sauce |
These pictures above are more to their classic pasta menu that tastes so delizioso, perfetto! But they also have some more to fusion-like pasta menu as pictures below, that (in my opinion) tastes weird or so-so. So, be smart in choosing the menu.

| Spaghetti with seafood and basil in cream and tomato sauce |

| Spaghetti with broccoli and squid fried with spicy olive sauce |
Still they have a lot and a lot of other menu, ranging from pasta, to pizza, risotto, gratin, pita, and dessert! I can't wait to try it all (especially the apple pie with ice cream). Should come with an empty stomach next time.
