希斯酪義大利麵

📍Beitou District, Taipei City
An Unwavering Homemade Italian Pasta Restaurant 🇮🇹🍝

You often see this sign when taking the MRT past Qiyan and Shilin stations. I remember this place has been around for over ten years, and after checking Google reviews and finding decent ratings, I decided to visit.

The indoor environment feels a bit aged but is very warm and homely.

Menu Items
🍅 Tomato Vegetable Soup ($100):
I originally wanted a clear soup, but I observed the owner starting with a clear broth and slowly simmering it. When it arrived at the table, I found out it was actually a rich soup base.

The flavor is even better than it looks, with a strong tomato essence and tiny vegetable bits, complemented by some cheese on top. It was very satisfying.

🥒 Stir-Fried Asparagus with Fresh Fish Noodles ($230):
The aroma of olive oil is abundant, with a slight hint of sweetness. The thin noodles are very elastic.

The portion of asparagus and fish is quite generous, making it a dish I'd want to order again.

🧈 Creamy Bacon Baked Rice ($190):
This dish is a bit more ordinary, but the highlight is the excellent flavor of the baked cheese on top.

The risotto and seasoning inside are about the standard you'd find at a hundred-dollar pasta place.

Will I visit again: Yes!
