There are places you pass by and places you stop for, and Pietro Zito's Antichi Sapori is certainly the latter.

More people are considering travelling abroad with the shortening of quarantine time when returning to Asia. I've been in Milan for over 2 month now.Sometimes I cook for myself, but sometimes I really miss those Asian flavours.

Opened in 2018 here in the alleys of Taipei by Hokkaido-born Chef Ryogo Tahara, French cuisine restaurant logy is a romantic spin-off from Hiroyasu Kawate’s two-star Michelin restaurant Florilège in Tokyo. With an innate sense of natural ingredients and a persistent search for unique Taiwanese flavours, Chef Tahara cooks in an unpretentious way, but his insistence on mastering people’s understanding for good food is self-evident. Within a short span of three years, logy has scooped two Michelin stars and has been ranked Top One among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants in Taiwan. This time trying logy’s spring menu was a surprisingly great experience, as I could detect more traces of local elements when its creator incorporates multifaceted techniques from Japan, Italy and France.
