      The head chef of Giorgio, Giorgio Trivia, brings to customers not only fabulous food, but also an intense introduction of his hometown, Verona (that's right, Romeo and Juliet's Verona.). Giorgio tells of the famous Juliet sculpture which, if rubbed on its right chest, will bring to you prosperity to your love life. Another famous Juliet landmark is her balcony from which she called for her Romeo. The balcony is covered in love declarations in multiple languages engraved by visitors. Aside from all the romantic tourist destinations, Giorgio reminisces and emphasizes on the Italian way of cookery. Though the euro is soaring, Giorgio still provides his customers with imported goods and does not cut corners with quality. Giorgio's restaurant isn't like other Italian eateries – infused with American, Japanese or Taiwan flavors. Instead, Giorgio's is genuinely authentic and definitely nothing like you've experienced before.

   It is a hard task for Giorgio to recommend dishes to his customers. He believes, because of everyone's different personalities, that everything is worth a taste. The Tortelloni Ai Porcini/ Dumpling with Cheese and Porcini Mushroom (NT$350) is simple and savory. The Gnocchi 4 Formaggi/ Gnocchi Quattro Forage is rich and thick in flavor. Giorgio's pizzas are also worth a try as they are made on the spot. Also, Giorgio offers a Juliet and Romeo Set (for two NT$1980). He emphasizes that the set isn't just for Valentine's Day but, rather, something to be enjoyed all the time. Just the entree of the set includes rib eye, half a chicken and lamb. This set is only served at dinnertime. Enjoy the meal with a glass of Italian red wine and you'll be on your way into a fine night.
