Grissini is run by chef Zhao, whose experience working in high-end Taipei hotels and formidable skills means that even a simple bowl of corn soup here can surprise diners. One of the most popular dishes here--the tender Rib-eye Steak--is further evidence of the chef's abilities. Besides steaks, Grissini also offers various kinds of risotto (NT$240-350), dozens of pasta dishes (NT$200-300) and set meals (NT$360-880), which all come with mineral or sparkling water.
