Sabatini Cucina

Been a long time but this place still rocks. Had a cream pasta with mozzarella made for our daughter and it was divine!

Good!

Services and food quality very good. I like the spaghetti and steaks the most. One of the hidden treasures in Taipei.

Horrible service and very rude staff. I came in at 130 and asked the hostess to see a menu, she looked at her watch and gave it to me, we looked at it for a minute and decided to eat. By this time the hostess had changed and the new person said we had missed the last order. She was very rude and condescending when I asked her who the other hostess had given me the menu if the place was closed and she said "you only asked to see it" she left me feeling like some kind of trespasser. As I left she locked the door behind me. Horribly rude and discourteous especially after they had given me the menu. Aside from that the menu isn't actually Italian food, so don't come here expecting anything remotely authentic, for instance all of their pasta (bar one dish) has seafood in it, there are no traditional or "staple" Italian dishes you would expect to find (such as Carbonara or caprese salad. There were also prices crossed out and re-written in ballpoint pen which I wouldn't expect to find in a place as pricey as this.

We went last nite to this place at ~5:45 and they did not open till 6pm. Well, they sat us at the front 3 chairs basically to wait for the raining 15min. In the meantime, they welcomed the guests for a private party reserved upstaires. I had to ask why they could not sit us at a table for that mere 10min till 6pm when the waitresses were simply chatting their way! Despite of this, we really enjoyed our dishes. The prime steak was a good portion (10oz.) which is larger than a typical portion in Canada or Europe. The set dinner was a good five course meal. The french bread was amazing - crusty on the outside and soft on the inside (although it is bit pricey @NT90 for a small loaf ) The steak was nice. The only problem was that the set dinner was either for all persons at the table or none at all. Anyhow, i must give a LIKE to Chef Ho! Would have given it a five-star had it not because of the bad experience of waiting at the front.

Tasty pasta ! Beside slightly pricy, food is really tasty.

The Ravioli in truffles sauce is good. The tagliatelle in sea urchin sauce....very fishy taste and the scallop doesn't taste fresh. The starters and the rest are ok.

This restaurant is nicely decorated. Not sure how long they have been in business, but the style of cooking was old fashioned Taiwanese Italian cuisine. The ingridients were fresh, but lacked flavors. The steak was not cook properly and the pasta was "dry".
