Looks a bit like any Italian-style restaurant but with far higher prices and smaller portions. We ordered a shrimp, garlic and asparagus linguine and a smoked salmon fettuccine and none of them were outstanding or special. The pasta were slightly oversalted, but indeed cooked to al dente. Dishing wasn't especially eye-catching either.
The view and the location are obviously better than most of the downtown restaurants, but the 800 TWD for two single pasta dishes is still a bit pricey.
Staff could also adhere a bit to the "bilingual Taiwan by 2030", because the incomprehensible caveman gestures combined with the visibly astound "panic" (despite my efforts communicating in Chinese) caused by the presence of a foreigner at certain staff members do not really make a...

So refreshing to find such a lovely restaurant in Tamsui! Great space, relaxing and cool interior, and a good place to enjoy the sunset from out on the balcony.

La Villa Danshui is located along the Tamsui River and is walkable from Tamsui MRT (about 20 to 30 minutes).

We ordered a mixed salad, two appetizers and four pastas - I ordered 紅酒牛肉義大利麵 (pasta with beef cubes). The mixed salad is very fresh and taste great. My beef pasta was delicious too. What’s so special about it is they add a kick to it which is very rare in Italian food, but I like it very much, and all my guests loved their pasta too.
Finally, the price, compared to New York City, it’s very reasonable. I would...
