Frigomio Gelateria
A named, checkable maker with an explicit two-country technical lineage (Japanese pastry precision, Sicilian granita tradition) and a rationed-supply signal that is independently reported rather than self-claimed -- the strongest modern Italian-technique candidate in Taichung.
What to order
Pistachio gelato (開心果), described in Bella.tw as limited to a half-cup per customer due to scarce supply
