I had a great lunch at Pinococo with my family. The food was good I can't say anything negative just that I've had better of what I ordered. I thought the staff were great. I think my biggest issue is that a fan or the direction of the AC was blowing directly at our table making it a bit of chilly experience for myself and my nephew.
*I will say this ... the truffle fries were great 👍

Very lively and busy Italian restaurant. The dining atmosphere is relaxing and spacious, there are also private dining rooms for reservation if you are on a business meeting. Best grilled seafood salad in Taichung! We also tried the rissoto and it's pretty well done too. Friendly staffs. Fair price tag. Parking available.
God awful food!!!
There's almost nothing taste like a Italian food.... except the name of some dish?
Definitely, regret to visit here...
The only positive is parking...
Umm...I recall the beef stew is almost just about Worcestershire sauce. What a waste of that delicious beef. Super 😢 Aka the red bottle one.
I almost felt like stepping into a pretty... fine...western deco tapanyaki, so maybe take away all the fancy stuff, the price can cut down half....
Thanks for reading
Cheers

As you walk in you right away get a feel of professionalism and tradition, and the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The servers are immaculately dressed, speak excellent English, and are efficient yet friendly. The prawns in light tomato sauce were succulent and fresh (but not hot enough), the pizza cheesey and fabulous, and the seafood salad was lightly dressed and served with plenty of seafood that was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pasta was delicious but slightly overcooked (and not hot enough), yet still delicious and satisfying. Suggestion to the Chef: Heat the plates sufficiently and speed up the plating process to ensure hot ingredients, and I will rate you 5 stars next time.
Great place to have a light lunch or dinner. Seafood salad is good, grilled salad is excellent, and above all these, hostess Chloe is most friendly.

The food is over-priced, the quality of the food can’t match the price. We ordered chicken wing, and it was quite bad actually, while it should be easy to make it ok in most of the restaurant. The sea food pasta is even close to NTD 1000, but obviously not worth it.The service is good, but unfortunately it will be the restaurant we won’t go to again.
