There are few authentic Italian restaurants in Taipei that are owned and run by Italians, who are very nice and friendly. Botega del Vin is one of those Italian restaurants. They offer authentic northeastern Italian food. In the region they're from in Italy, botega del vin means wine shop. Botega del Vin does have a big Italian wine selection, but it's the food that will impress diners. Their new location is a bigger than the old location, which is a good thing because more people can dine at once, and the atmosphere from the smaller, old location is still present.
I met an Italian, who was in Taipei for studies, who invited me to eat at Botega del Vin, an Italian restaurant that opened in June of 2013. He told me that the owner is from the same northeast region of Italy as himself, and he was very pleased to have found food like back home that could comfort him while he was living in Taiwan.
Not only is Botega del Vin authentic, but it's completely delicious! They offer certain types of pasta that can't be had anywhere else in Taipei. If you compare Botega del Vin's prices to other authentic Italian restaurants in Taipei, they're definitely not overpriced (except for Solo Pasta's spaghetti, which is authentic and a lot cheaper), and could even be considered comparatively cheap. But for me personally, especially after eating at Botega del Vin two years ago when they gave bigger proportions for a cheaper price, it's now too expensive. However, as I said before, they do serve some Italian dishes that no other Italian restaurant in Taipei offers. If you don't mind paying for it, you'll completely enjoy Botega del Vin.
Vegetarian options: Tomato Sauce Gnocchi (NT$420), Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce Gnocchi (NT$420), Ravioli Di Magro (Spinach and Ricotta Cheese Ravioli)(NT$420), and Porcini (Mushroom) Risotto (NT$420).
