      This cozy, attractive Italian restaurant is the brainchild of four friends who all once worked together at The Landis Hotel. Located on Gong Yi Road about half-way between Donxing (Dung Shing) and Wenxin (Wen Shin) roads, this place provides a little getaway for diners with its charming decor, including wooden floors, warm yellow walls and green tablecloths. The upstairs windows look out onto a small balcony garden and the trees outside, giving an extremely pleasant atmosphere. The tasty, attractively-presented, reasonably-priced pasta and risotto dishes here are prepared by former Landis head Western chef Encore Wang. These include the Lobster Capellini with XO Sauce (NT$360), Chicken Linguine with Walnut (NT$240), Scallop Fettucine with Cream Cheese (NT$280), and Chicken Risotto with Bacon and Mushrooms (NT$260). All these come with Caesar salad, bread and drink, with optional, add-on NT$40 soup and NT$50 alcoholic beverage. The restaurant puts an emphasis on healthy cuisine and this extends to the drink menu, which includes to six herbal healthy teas (NT$120) like rose, lavender, lemon grass and British mint. There are also six complex herb teas (NT$140) like Sleeping Tea (calyx of orange, linden, jasmine) or Smart Tea (vervain, rosemary, rose). There are various coffees (NT$70-120), NT$90 beers and house wines and various snacks, like waffles and cookies. Diners get free, convenient parking at the big lot directly across the street. --By Douglas Habecker; Translated by lya Chen
