Located right next to the HuaMei Street
canal, K2 Cucina is easy to get to from all directions.
This Italian eatery has a casual dining atmosphere and
is a break from the crowded bars nearby. French windows
and red-black decor add to its cozy ambiance. On warm
days, the staff opens the windows so customers can relax
with sunshine and the southern European tunes played
throughout the restaurant.
The secret to K2 Cucina's pasta is in
the ingredients. Chef J-Ping, who makes a regular trip
to Italy every year, uses Durum flour for the noodles.
This flour fully absorbs sauces, which provides enhanced
flavors. All ingredients used by the Cucina are imported
from Italy. Their signature dish is the Crab, Baby Scallops
& Linguine in Tomato Sauce (NT$250). Try a traditional
Italian dessert (NT$60-150) like Espresso and Hazelnut
Ice Cream, or Lemon Tart. Both go nicely with a post-meal
cup of latte or cappuccino. Because all dishes are made
to order, guests should expect to wait about 15 minutes.
