Songshan District, Taipei City｜La Locanda

Love every dish we ordered! A friend recommended this place and they definitely didn’t let us down. The appetizer was amazing, the pastas were amazing especially the risotto. The only thing I would say is maybe they can play sth suitable for the vibe of the restaurant instead of just some random English pop music lol. We had a great Mother’s Day experience there. Would definitely come back.

We've been going here for years and the food never disappoints. They also try to offer seasonal dishes using local ingredients when possible. The best part is that the menu changes with the seasons, so there's always something new to try. Highly recommended place, but know what this is more of a neighbourhood place rather than a fancy restaurant. -------------- Good, hearty Italian food for a fair price. The risotto was spot on. Update: A year on, this place has gone from strength to strength and if possible is just getting better. We've yet to have a bad meal here and the great thing is that the menu changes with the seasons and there are weekly specials, so there's always something new to try. Several years on and the food here is still great. It's our go to Italian restaurant in Taipei.

Had some really quality handmade pasta here, definitely worth the splurge! My pesto gnocchi with shrimp (680nt) were fluffy, pillowy dumplings perfectly coated in a creamy, not-too-salty pesto sauce, tossed with shrimp, and finished with fragrant toasted pine nuts. The tiramisu was no joke either - mildly sweet but with perfectly balanced levels of alcohol, cocoa, and chocolate ! The table service bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil dip is normal. Didn't personally try the other pastas but my friends were all praise - the only unpopular dish was the tin foil roasted vegetables, which the party found bland and not worth the price. Service charge of 10% also added. Recommend for some dang good authentic Italian good in Taipei !
