Rosticceria - Fried rice didn't look like fried rice to me. Looks like rice with added veggies, shrimp, and egg.

My girl is Chinese and wanted Chinese food while we were in Italy. Since all we have been eating…read morewas pasta and pizza for the last week. It's super close to the train station and we decided to take a gander this place. The restaurant inside was definitely subpar. At the time we were there, there are people running in and out of the store. I believe they have some sort of game room or arcade of some sort inside. Onto the food... I wouldn't recommend it. The fried rice was still white. As if it was barely seasoned. My chicken wing had hairs in it. The egg and tomato (I don't know what it's called) was just mediocre. The spicy egg drop soup (not sure what it's called) was actually tasty. With all that being said... the food didn't taste all that bad. But they could've done MUCH better imo.

An absolute lifesaver for someone who was getting really tired of eating nothing but Italian food…read morefor almost 2 weeks straight and needed some good ol' fashioned Chinese takeout to break the mediocrity a little bit. And by a little bit, I mean that we ate there for three meals in a row. I guess Florentine cuisine just wasn't my thing. I really appreciated how authentic the cuisine was considering the probable lack of a Chinese demographic in the area. I would've thought that they would've tried making it more amenable to Italian tastes, which, from my experience, is extremely picky and a tad conceited, but I'm glad they didn't, because this was definitely a little slice of home (and by home, I mean Dallas, TX). AND to cap it off, it didn't break the bank. 4-5 euros per entree. What a steal!

I'm from New York City and was in the mood for some Chinese food in Florence. L'Angolo didn't…read moredisappoint. This is solid authentic home-style food. The dishes we ordered had well-Balanced sauces. We had a dish with braised quail eggs and pork belly ("Quail eggs and Bacon") which was very good. We had a greens sautéed with garlic. Very good (it's the type of dish that's SUPPOSED to taste the same at ANY restaurant and L'Angolo did not surprise us. That's a good thing). We had sweet and sour shrimp. The sauce contained fresh pineapple and fresh tomatoes and head-on, shell-on shrimp. The sauce was very good and not cloyingly sweet nor gelatinous. The only caution I would give is that if you're looking for American -style General Tso 's chicken or chop-suey, I don't think it's on the menu. This is more akin to a mid-tier American Chinese restaurant -- not a take-out joint.

We just concluded our Euro trip of Rome, Florence, Venice and Paris. On each city we never failed…read moreto try a Chinese restaurant owing to the fact that we were a big group and this by far is the least expensive way to fill up everyone. Of all the places we have eaten, this is the best of them all. Good portions, good value and good taste. Finding out that this restaurant just opened up made me glad that we wandered through its door at the right time. I just found out that this is a branch of another restaurant in Loreto, Milan named Wang Jiao - Mong Kok and that the other name of this restaurant in Florence is called Xin Wang Jiao - L' angolo.

Last month, we visited Florence and stayed for one night. Our hotel was only a couple minutes walk…read morefrom Chilli Casa! We wanted to eat Chinese food that night and luckily were able to find this spot in our search. They are located in Florence's "Chinatown". There are Asian markets and a couple of different restaurants that serve Asian food. We were able to walk in and be seated immediately. Staff was very nice; we had great conversations with them ;) Food: we got cauliflower griddle, ma po tofu, beef ramen in szechuan special sauce, japanese ramen with pork & boiled fish with pickled cabbage. Their menu is pretty extensive... not gonna lie, it was a bit overwhelming, 13 pages BUT much appreciated. Lots of options and you're bound to find something you'll like. Overall, the food wasn't too bad. I don't expect to find the best Chinese restaurant in Europe. The boiled fish with pickled cabbage was very salty and oily. I had the beef ramen & it was okay but again, very oily... wasn't spicy just oily. If you're a soup drinker, this soup is not really drinkable. Ma po tofu was also extremely salty. So salty that it tasted spicy. I would only suggest getting the cauliflower. I am rating them a 4/5 because finding a Chinese restaurant was actually pretty hard in Florence.

Decent spot for some spicy Chinese dishes and good noodle soups. It is small and cozy, though can…read morefill up quickly during mealtimes. Food was prepared quickly though service was not the most attentive - we had to request things like water, condiments, the check, etc a few times before actually receiving them.

FANTASTIC Chinese food. We saw many Chinese restaurants walking around Florence, but were drawn to…read morethis one by the unique menu items. It was a great respite from the continuous (albeit delicious) Italian food we had been having for the past few weeks in Italy. Thoroughly satisfying. We ordered: * Steamed Fish - Branzino Al Vapore * Chili and Sour China Cabbage - Cavolo Cinese Agro-Piccante * Pork Rib Bone Noodle Soup * For Dessert: Yam Roll - Involtini di primavera dolci Highly recommend this place for a quality, inexpensive Chinese meal on the particularly cold days we've been experiencing in Florence. Service is fast and efficient. Would go again.

On my third day in Florence, I was on the lookout for some Chinese comfort food amidst the pizza…read moreand pasta, and was not disappointed by this find. It's right across from another Chinese restaurant (Impressione) that had a line going out the door - 10-deep. Rather than wait around for a disgruntled lady to add us to the waitlist, we just went across the street. The food came out within 15 minutes and everything looked and tasted fresh. It was almost too fast for me to only get a photo of the chicken (cold dish). We also had the beef noodle soup, vegetable noodle soup, garlic steamed bok choy, and sour wonton soup. I would highly recommend this place for authentic food, but it's not fancy and the atmosphere is anything but cozy.

Yixinge - Taro Yam rolls - they're wrapped in a crispy sweet and light flour netting. So tasty. There might also be mung bean in the center.
