La Giara is Taipei's newest addition to the growing number of Italian-run local Italian restaurants. Opened by the Sicilian team of Salvatore Genco and master chef Antonio Gerbino, La Giara is a classy, upscale destination targeted at Taiwan's foreign and local high society crowd. Decorated with the "modern design aesthetic that is currently in vogue with Italian high society", the atmosphere is warm, woody and hip. Two walls are huge, wooden wine racks, which are quickly being filled with a wide range of imported wines, ranging from NT$900 to NT$4,000 a bottle. Naturally, the food is the focus of any good restaurant and on this count Chef Antonio aims to please, using imported spices and fresh, healthy ingredients. Pasta dishes range from NT$380 to NT$470 and the pizzas run from NT$380 to NT$450. La Giara is located one block south of the Howard Plaza hotel on FuXing South Road.--By Donovan Smith
