SAPORITO 拾義

In Taichung City, there are many pasta restaurants, but it's my first time encountering a place with such a wide variety of noodles to choose from. It is said that the owner studied traditional pasta-making methods in Italy. Despite the many types of noodles available in the restaurant, they are all handmade by him.

The noodle varieties include the common Taiwanese straight noodles, flat noodles, penne, and squid ink noodles; there are also others like bellflower noodles and fried twisted noodles, among others. In terms of texture, the noodles are long and chewy, which confirms that they are indeed handmade.

As for the tomato sauce for his pasta, it is very authentic, containing stewed celery, unlike the sweet red sauce commonly found in canned varieties. Besides the pasta, his appetizer salad is also very fresh and delicious. Unfortunately, the only downside is that there is too little cheese given with each dish, which makes it hard to present the creamy aroma; it's a bit of a pity (or maybe I just love cheese too much 🤣). The tiramisu is also made using the wet method, which is said to be the authentic way.

If you want to try authentic Italian pasta dishes, I recommend coming to this restaurant.
