the standard Italian, I mean the correct form is "ti piace".
"Te piace" sounds to me like the dialect from Roma.

Since I just had an experience in Italy, I thought I'd pass it on, here. We were having dinner with friends/relatives - Italians - and I said "me piace" about something. He corrected me and said, "No, it's 'A me piace'". I said that later to another friend/relative and she said, yes it's technically true but in the real world everybody says "me piace". These are all native Italians, in Italy. The reason is because Piace/piacere doesn't actually mean "I like" or like or anything of that sort. What it means is, "It is pleasing". So, "A me piace" properly says "To me it is pleasing." Yes, people in Italy run around saying "me piace" every day. It's just a tidbit of technicality, since this is a language site. If you actually said "A me piace" all the time, people would think you just got out of a language school. Interesting, just the same.
