Gray House Living&Pasta 灰房子 義式料理

A small restaurant in the centre of the city. A bit hidden in the back of the pedestrian zone it offers outdoor seating too.They offer original and authentic Italian food with ingredients from Puglia. With pinsa the original form of pizza you can have something different than the common pizza. Made with different flours and fermenatation of 72 hours it is also more digestible. We had the bruschetta as appertizer and a salmon pinsa and Gorgonzola pear pasta for Main course. Everything was prepared fresh and very delicious. The owner serving us was extremely friendly and we will definately come back soon.

Belli is a place we frequent often and we are always satisfied. They have a small outdoor space with good lighting in the front and inside the setting is a darker bar-like setting, and it's nice to sit by the window to get more natural light. Their pork chop is consistently good, tender, juicy, and flavorful with the mushroom sauce. The brussel sprouts are also nice and roasted and tender as well. The pasta is also really good, creamy and linguini cooked just right. The food can sometimes take a bit long to come out, but it's worth it. Always can count on a great experience here.

My expectations were not high as I don't have good experiences for Italian restaurants in Taiwan in general, but I was blown away by how amazing the food was. The flavors all matched what I expect from Italian food, something I have no trouble finding in New York, and everything was cooked to perfection. I basically told my wife "I don't miss home anymore" after the meal: that's how great this place is. Service was friendly, food did take a while though, they said to expect longer for the fish, but what really took the longest was the pizza. I forgot to take pictures of the pizza but it was also really good, half Hawaiian (for the toddler) and half mushroom pepperoni. Crust was thin and tasted good on its own, chewy and crispy at the same time. Love this place, I already want to go back.
