Who doesn’t love Italian food? It’s a popular cuisine for a reason: it’s delicious! And the vegetarian pasta and pastries at this restaurant in Taichung, Taiwan are certainly no exception. The Italian chef at SUD moved to Taiwan to be with his wife who is Taiwanese, and he brought his family recipes with him! Today, the couple run a thriving vegetarian Italian restaurant, where they get to share their love of Italian food and a vegetarian lifestyle with customers from around the world. One thing that makes SUD unique is its ingredients: owners Jordan and Joanne make the restaurant’s pasta and gnocchi by hand and import many of their ingredients directly from Italy. They even sell their own handcrafted pastries like pasticciotti and cannoli! Stop by next time you’re in Taichung for an authentic Italian dining experience.
