Like something straight out of The Godfather, Capone's is an upmarket diner, dimly lit and live with the lilt of jazz. This Italian dinnerhouse is open lunch through dinner, seven days a week and has captured quite an audience over its Saturday brunch buffet. All Italian, all of the time, the menu tells tales of antipasto, insalata, pizza and pasta, with a formiddable drinks menu to match. For those who favour the finer things,

Capone's offers a range of wines and whiskies or fine liquers. Also, one of the few restaurants in Taipei with a choice of beers on tap. Capone's a little on the pricey side, but is forgiven for being kind to the carnivores, easy on the eye and offering such a spread of live music to choose from. Capone's a great location for a date or celebratory dinner. Better yet, enjoy drinks without driving because Capone's Italian Dinnerhouse is JUST outside of  Taipei's Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall MRT Station, Exit 2.
