Cantina del Gio

One of the best Italian restaurants in Taipei. Great food, ver authentic flavored, amazing service!
The restaurant has such a homey and romantic atmosphere. Great wine selection and don’t forget the yummy desserts. Always a good choice for a lovely night out.

The place to be if you’re looking for a fine cut Wagyu steak cooked to perfection. It all starts with the nicest sourdough I’ve had in Taipei with a good olive oil and balsamic vinegar mix. The Wagyu comes with a side of potatoes which compliments the steak really well. I’ve also ordered parmesan asparagus to give it a nice balance of veg to meat ratio. I’m a bit of a slow eater so I’ve asked for a hot stone half way to help warm up some of the steak at the end. I was seated right in front of the kitchen when I can see all the actions happening and it was very entertaining.

10/10 for Saturday night solo dinner for a passing by traveler.

Good food with sharp/creative wine pairing. Not too home cooking and not too pretentious, in a very pleasing balance of delicate seasoning and warm homy food. Love it!!! Definitely will bring my foodie friends over! 😁😋

The food and service are both amazing. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. I love their Tiramisu, one of the best I’ve had.

Al dente! You can definitely have a taste of Italy here at Cantina del Gio. The food is authentic and wonderful. they have great Italian wine collections. Open kitchen and professional chiefs … The place is very thoughtfully decorated. The owners welcome you with warm hospitality. All these elements make you feel that you are somewhere in Italy. Oh the service is very warm and professional as well. I didn’t get a chance to have their pizza and entrée in my first visit. Planning to come back soon to sample their wines and few main courses

Absolutely spectacular!!! Have been a big fan of Botega del Vin for years, must say Cantina del Gio perfectly explore its own characteristics and path.

The King prawn AOP is totally stunning with perfect texture of pasta and well-integrated sauce. Not mentioning the steak and grilled fish honestly reflect the original beauty of ingredients.

The only problem is I really wanna try everything on the menu with have limited space in my stomach. Will absolutely visit again with more friends!!

A beautiful restaurant with good affordable food. It is less than 10 minutes away from the MRT. They have the best truffle risotto I have tasted in Taiwan.

Came here for Christmas dinner special! Food were very good! Seasoning was good as well. The house wine offered were okay!
I had one of my best burrata abs grilled pork chop here! Pasta is a little bit cold though! Recommend to visit if you have a big group of friends whom loves to eat meat! Dessert was okay.

Amazing!
Arrived a bit to late to Botega and was recommended this place, which closes later, and saved my night and life! The food was delicious, the service very friendly, and the atmosphere chill and fun.

Came here for their Veneto Autumn Wine tasting, their food and wine pairing matches perfectly, great wine selections and generous pouring that doesn’t happened that often.

All dishes were amazing, great service!!

The owner was very friendly, and I loved how he put all strangers in the same table, wasn’t uncomfortable at all! Friendly and easy to meet people! Very generous, cozy place.

Great selection for gathering or romantic occasion!

Loved the place. The staff were warm and attentive. The food was great and high cp value. So happy we live next door to them. Will definitely visit again.

Great food and cocktails AND fabulous atmosphere!!
Lots of great wine options, also a nice selection of gin! But the mixed cocktails are my favorite! Not one item on the food menu has disappointed so far! I even ate the pork (I don’t eat pork!!)

Definitely the restaurant i’d love to visit frequently, they are doing all kinds of meat with magic. Comfy environment, great wine menu, tbh nothing to complain. Eccellente!

It's an awesome place, I am really happy spent time enjoying a good serving here. The sommelier was super professional and kind, you can just take easy ask any questions about your wine or any advice for drinks. Again, nice experience here, I do believe I will revisit again.

Gianni is most hospitalized Simmons we’ve encountered, he is the master of Italian wine. We have a goo d time with his accompany.

This little germ of paradise where the waiters (Gianni and Andrea, special thanks to them, but also Joyce, Ray and Anna) took care of us during our anniversary!

We were seated in the wine cellar, just bring an extra layer just in case. The chef could adapt the menu to a vegetarian one. We had:
- Cheese platter, served with mixed nuts and olives
- Burrata with some cherry tomatoes and green emulsion
- Gnocchi with walnuts and cheese
- Risotto with black truffle
- Parmigiana (super tender and soft at a point you can just use a spoon... Very, very tasty!)
- (a REAL) Tiramisu

Not only the atmosphere was amazing, the service was efficient, and cared to our needs, but the food was divine.

Gracie to all the personnel at Cantina del Gio, we will definitely come back!

Very popular Italian restaurant, a mixture between a modern Italian style place. Salads, appetizer platter, meat dishes are more than enough to share. Pasta dishes are individual portions, the lobster ravioli was a small and unfulfilling (because it was that good and I wish there was more).

Owner seems to be Italian and extremely friendly. Recommended a great and reasonably price wine. Service really good, food really good, all in all a great experience. Great for large groups looking for a fun night.

Food and drinks were awesome, good service. I had a really good experience.

Loove this place. Great Atmopshere, staffs were polite, and most importantly all the foods were SO good 🤤
I recommend the crab gnocchi and the mix meat platter!
Everything tasted so delicious omg, I super super recommend Cantina.
Owner is really friendly, came to our table and asked if everything’s ok, talked to us a little bit, not to mention he’s handsome as well! 🤪
