Al Grappolo In Merlara

18/03/2024: The food is top We went to the karaoke room Who unfortunately didn't have access to YouTube so we had a limited selection but all in all we had a lot of fun!

11/02/2024: The first truly TRUE Chinese restaurant in Padua. It has changed name and management many times since it opened, but the atmosphere has always remained genuine. Its strengths are undoubtedly that it is very (very!) economical compared to the size of the portions (which are designed to be shared) and that it has a menu almost similar to what can be found in a restaurant in China. Not recommended for delicate and picky palates, it has an enormous offer of dishes which also include the most bizarre such as jellyfish, bones and offal of all kinds. Often spicy is king and although there are many vegetable-based dishes it is difficult to find a truly vegetarian one, they stick minced meat everywhere. But then again, this is the tradition, as is that of having waiters who seem improvised and often don't even know how to speak Italian. I won't comment on the quality of the food, as the discussion could be extended to every restaurant in general, but I can say that most of the dishes are really well made. What else to add? If you want to have a Chinese experience and not get the usual Cantonese rice, well you can't miss stopping by here!
