Taste is different from the common chinese Restaurant in Italy. Quality is not so bad and the service was good.

Among the two of us we tried 8 dishes. Many were very good, with clear tastes, light preparation and little salt and grease. These included small fish fry (called anchovies , rice noodles soup vegetables, imperial shrimps sautée with vegetables and fruit, thai rice with sweet basil, and steamed vegetable dumplings. Absolutely recommended. the price was very reasonable. The menu includes many more dishes. As usual in Chinese restaurants in the area, there are two lists one after the other, one with less standard dishes and the other with the blander, more usual fares of Chinese restaurants in Italy. We were there on a Friday evening, many of the Chinese parties in the room were large and celebrating, making for a noisier environment than some Italian and international patrons prefer. Service areas including the bar, cashier 's corner and bathrooms looked untidy, even if the air felt good. This may also put some visitors off. Service was quite kind and careful, with some attention to a special request: I asked for a soup without egg, and when I ordered one with some egg white, I was shown it and offered to send it back if I preferred much more than I would expect in a low cost Italian restaurant. Overall, a very pleasant experience, if you are prepared to put up with some noise and dirt.
