Banqiao District, New Taipei City｜La Foresta by Narrative 森林敘事

Had the carbonara and "white wine clam". This restaurant does not claim to serve authentic italian food as far as I know. It is not traditional according to Italian standards. But it taste very good and that's what's important. Carbonara: they used linguini for this dish. The bacon is okay but not similar to guanciale or pancetta. There was also some mushroom. I asked before if they used cream and they said they only use egg yolk and cheese. This made me decide to order this dish. I don't think they use pecorino since the flavour is pretty light. The pasta was not too soft, and overall it tasted great. In this case I'll overlook the authenticity aspect and I'm happy the food tasted good. White wine clam pasta: Same here taste great but do not expect authentic Italian style since they use taiwanese basil in this dish. It does taste good no matter what and the chefs know what they are doing. Prices are fair and the staff is hardworking and friendly. They also clean the tables fast. Total price 490 NTD. Very nice small restaurant and a great choice if you want to eat pasta in Taipei. I know we're in Asia but personally I wouldn't have a cat in the kitchen which they had....the cat was sleeping on top of a shelf....allergies?
