Upon entering La Bettola, you feel like you've reached Italy's countryside and it is to no surprise that the restaurant adapted the name "La Bettola," that is a small commune in the Provience of Piacenza in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
For appetizers, you can try the Crostini Platter. Its made with French Baguette and there are 3 different toppings; mozarella fresca with a hint of olive oil, tomato with Chinese whitebait and tuna salad. The appetizers are only at 150NT à la carte, but only at 90NT if you order a lunch set (starting at 290NT depending on what you order as your main course).
One of my highly recommended plates is the Risotto with Balsamic Vinegar (230NT). The taste is exquisite and very uncommonly found in Taiwan. The rice is creamy and savory and with the clash of a soothing balsamic sourness. The rice also has a bit of toasted bread flavors infused (also sprinkled on top), making the taste extra-special.
The only down side of the restaurant is that it takes them a long time to serve the food because everything is made to order. The restaurant also offers deserts (at about 100NT-150NT), which are hand-made just like the pastas.
Recently, I went back to eat at La Bettola. This time I tried the Carpaccio and its exquisite. Different from the one at Grazie Cafe because it feels like it has been slightly smoked. Its chewy and not too soft for you to feel the "raw-ness" of the meat. It comes with some capres, onions, parmiggiano and olive oil. Another must try. I really highly recommend all kinds of risotto in the place!
