If Capone was alive today, the owner of the eatery in Taipei may well find himself wearing a pair of concrete shoes? A promising facade turns into a disappointing affair. I chose the garlic bread to start which was like eating cardboard. This was followed by a pizza which was little more than average (who could resist an offer of cheese powder ...
I went to this restaurant after reading some good reviews on yahoo, and I must say I certainly wasn't disappointed. The look of Capone's is great, a low lighted place with a candle in the middle of every table.

Wow it is Italian

The bar is better than the food, Portions are big but not the “classic” Italian fare you would expect in a Chicago, NY or Boston restaurant like Veal Parm, Ziti with Meat Sauce, Meatballs, etc. etc. Nice wine selection, Hip atmosphere. No music on the night I was there but set up looks ready to groove.
