The food is very tasty an not at all like the majority of Chinese restaurants which rely on additives for flavour and large portion sizes to make people think they have eaten well.

Everything we tasted was good. There are good quality wine and liqours and even some Chinese beverages. Price quality ratio was excellent. Be aware, this is Chinese for Italians so the food, while delicious, is not authentic. In fact all the customers were Italians, many regulars.

I also tried different types of ravioli that I had never tried before — a pleasant discovery! The atmosphere in the room was welcoming, even if it was a bit too hot. I accompanied the dinner with a good wine and a Chinese bitter, really interesting. A positive experience overall — to be repeated!
