Il Mandarino In Firenze

A great beacon of light on a painful family vacation! I personally adored how they used an espresso machine to brew Chinese tea. Food (Mapo Tofu, Braised Pig Trotters, Hot and Sour Soup and Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs) was great, ambience was nice and service was acceptable (a great mark for a Chinese restaurant amirite). Left the family’s old Chinese folks satisfied and rejuvenated. Highly recommend!

As part of our tradition we always visit a Chinese restaurant in all the not obvious places. This was a treat. Authentic Chinese food, great service. Thank you!

We were the only non-Chinese at this restaurant, that should be self explanatory! Amazing food and great service

Their Chinese food is heavily salty and oily, with a lot of soy source. Some cooking techniques are not correct, for example the grilled dumplings are wet, which are supposed to have crispy skin. Their spicy pork uses heavily fried pork, which has lost the tenderness of pork. Portions are small as well. But considering they are making Chinese food overseas, at a premium location, there might be challenges to get the right ingredients at a resonate price, and they have to cater to local market. So it is reasonable to be not so “Chinese”. 😂

We ordered mixed fried vegetables, mapo toufu, stir fried pork with bamboo shoot and fisherman fried shrimp. All the dishes were. tasty and not salty. The meal cost a reasonable 50 Euros including tea and beer.

Cantonese fried rice 6€ Fried noodles 6.5€ Han Palace Hotel Italy HUAWEI MATE 20 There is a toilet Although it is quite expensive, the portion is very small. It tastes very ordinary...

I’ve been a tourist in Florence for two weeks now and enjoyed breaking away from center-city cuisine a couple times. The quality varies greatly and some restaurants are really great, but it’s still the same dozen or dozen and a half dishes, and I found occasional departure to this place instead very pleasant. I’ve had the corn soup and also the crab and asparagus one. I’ve had their Mapo tofu (of which I do have experience on another continent) and found it first class. Also, various largely vegetarian dishes; I am not orthodox and enjoy the addition of macerated pork with my noodles and bean sprouts. I also love the way noodles are labeled “spaghetti” and dumplings, dim sum, “ravioli.” The service couldn’t be worse and still have me have returned for the good food. And imagine, this place is in Florence, let alone Italy, the Parnassus of Hospitality. I recommend this place anyway.

We could not sustain eating pizza and pasta every meal for 10 days haha. I noticed this restaurant which was located on the street as we were heading toward our sightseeing destination. It was just about noon. There was one other table already seated. The server was pleasant and business-like. We ordered. Food came out randomly. I wasn't sure they got the order right, but we did finally get everything we ordered. The food is not typical American Chinese. It was good/hit the spot. The price was okay. After we arrived the entire restaurant filled with a couple of Asian tour groups, Everything was super busy - which I think affected the kitchen (and the delivery of our order). That's all fine. It was nice they had Wifi. There is a super nice cashmere shop across the street.

Ci hanno riservato un tavolo piuttosto scomodo. Tra l'uscita della cucina ed il bagno. Alla nostra richiesta di spostarci ci hanno risposto che gli altri tavoli erano prenotati...
