Zoca Pizzeria Caffetteria, Italian pizzeria in Tong'an Village, Taiwan.
Zoca is an Italian pizzeria occupying the ground floor of a building with a small terrace facing the street. The space features a counter where staff prepare fresh pasta and pastries, along with simple wooden tables for diners.
Federico Zocatelli from Verona, Italy, founded this restaurant to bring authentic Italian pizza-making methods to the area. Since its opening, the place has served as a bridge between Italian culinary traditions and the local community.
The establishment integrates traditional Italian cooking techniques with local Taiwanese ingredients to create pizzas that appeal to diverse palates.
The restaurant opens Tuesday through Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with weekend service beginning at 5:30 p.m. Arriving earlier in the week offers a quieter experience, while weekends tend to be busier.
Two clocks on the walls display the time in both Taiwan and Italy, while photographs of Verona hang throughout the space. These touches create a personal connection to the owner's homeland and remind visitors of the restaurant's Italian roots.
