Our table had quite an unpleasant experience at Chiaduo. Mainly at how inexcusably slow the main courses came to our table. We were a table of six and three of us were served first. Shortly, the fourth person was served. But... The fifth main course wouldn't come until the first four had finished. The sixth main course wouldn't come until the fifth had finished. And... When the last main course finally came, the owner's only explanation was "不好意思, 厨房只有一個厨師" "Sorry. There is only one chef working in the kitchen."
This could have been communicated us before accepting us that the service would be this slow, but instead we had to go through this distasteful situation to find out.
So, my advice, if you're a group the same size of us or larger, skip the restaurant unless you want your patience tested. Your orders will likely be as slow as ours. FYI: The restaurant was serving only another table of 2 the time of, so the kitchen wasn't even busy.
I hate giving out low ratings to restaurants because usually some research is done before walking into new restaurants, so usually the expectations are controlled. After seeing this restaurant rated as 4.9, I didn't do any research, as I trusted the rating. Boy, was I wrong.
The dishes looked great, very suitable for Instagram. The dishes however didn't taste as great as they looked. They were decent tasting. Not great, not bad, just decent. So, if you value your time and money, or a large group, steer away. There are better options out there.
P.S. Don't order the mussels, they're not even in season yet they're on the menu. [PSA: Mussel season in Taiwan is from...
Read moreMy favorite Italian restaurant in Taipei. It is a very small but charming establishment full of warmth and authenticity. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and portion size. Every dish is delicious and beautifully presented, but the veal stew is particularly memorable and special. Highly recommended! I look forward to returning again in the future. My only suggestion for improvement is to inlcude more beverage options for the set menu. It feels odd not to have espresso at an authentic...
