It's a Taiwanese-run restaurant, but make no mistake, it's authentically Italian and has the official Italian seal of quality, that very few Italian restaurants in Taipei possesses, to prove it. Their delicious pasta dishes will deliver your mouth to Italy without breaking the bank. They offer the best smoked duck balsamic cream sauce pasta, carbonara, and pesto pasta that I've tried in Taipei.

This is one of the few restaurants in Taipei where you can get authentic Italian pasta cooked by Italians. All the pasta dishes are served the traditional way of al dente. Some of their traditional Italian dishes aren't offered anywhere else in Taipei.

Mia Cucina has many Western-style spaghetti dishes that are delicious. All their spaghetti dishes are prepared Western-style: al dente cooked spaghetti, flavorful and non-soupy sauces, and seasoned correctly. They use roasted garlic on many of their spaghetti dishes.

Woolloomooloo has the best pesto pasta dish that I have tried in Taipei. It's just as good or better than what you'd get at exceptional restaurants in America or Australia.
