After being in Italy for a week, the new husband and I were craving food from home. We are from the San Francisco Bay Area so we know our Chinese food, and I needed rice pronto. We ordered three classic dishes that we thought couldn't be messed up: Cantonese fried rice, chow mein, and chicken with veggies. We noticed the price to be incredibly cheap but it's due to the small portions.

The chicken and veggies didn't taste fresh, and we didn't even recognize the chow mein. If this restaurant was back in the States, it would probably get not even a half star. I do give them credit for achieving the "wok" taste, but if you are in Florence and craving Chinese food, search elsewhere. read more
