    Absolutely worth a visit. Super tasty and unique, and a very cool interior. Was nice to take a break from eating Italian food nonstop :)

    Alfani - Sizzling beef (really good!)

    Centrally located, fast & friendly service, and reliable good Chinese food when you need a break…read morefrom standard Italian cuisine. We enjoyed the sizzling beef, salt & pepper chicken, Mama's fried rice, and chicken & corn soup. Plenty of seating in a clean comfortable ambiance. We dined here 3 times in a week (really needed a break from pizza & pasta!) - I would definitely recommend this spot.

    I rarely write 1-star reviews, but this was by far the worst dining experience I had in Italy. The…read moremanager told us to throw up and spit out our food, slammed the table in front of us, and caused a very loud scene. The moment we walked in, we were directed to the very back table, although there was only 1 other party. Not a huge deal, but the staff were very insistent on this. Our food then took 30+ minutes to come out, after we asked about it - the parties seated after us actually got most of their food before us. After our meal, we noticed a €12 added charge to our bill. There was no prior notice of the cover charge - it was a sneaky move to target tourists. We calmly asked the manager about the charge, and she blew up completely. She kept going between "all of Italy's restaurants do this" and "it is only us that does this!" She then told us repeatedly to spit out all of her food, which is still bizarre to me. I tried explaining to her in English (as my Mandarin isn't as sharp), but I was met with "I am a Chinese person. I speak Chinese! Do NOT speak English to me!" This was also bizarre to me because she clearly understood me, but was repeatedly harassing me for my inability to speak Chinese with her. It ended with her aggressively throwing back the €12 at us to try to prevent us from writing negative reviews. Overall, an extremely unpleasant and almost repulsive experience. Would not recommend.

    Beijing 8 - Lunch Box: Chicken Thai Basil and Glass Noodles

    Beijing 8 can be described as a quick Chinese food snack in a clean, modern dining space. This…read morerestaurant was close to our AirBnB on our trip to Florence, we walked by it a few times and decided to try it one night when it was already getting late. You go to the counter to order what you want. They have a menu in English if you need it. We tried the miso broth with glass noodles as well as the chicken broth with glass noodles, it comes with four dumplings, so we ordered the chicken Thai basil dumpling and the pork dumpling. We also had the steamed edamame and ordered a cup of hot oolong tea. The food came out pretty quickly (it looks as if most things are already prepped on the side and they just put it together after you order). Everything came in the dim sum steamer, I guess that's the theme and part of the decor experience. I was surprised to see that our glass noodles and broth came in a large plastic cup, also in a steamer! Both broths were tasty, but there isn't much glass noodles to eat. The cup itself is already small, so imagine maybe 1/4 or 1/3 at most is filled with glass noodles, that's too little. The rest was filled with veggies and green onion that was chopped too big. Anyway we were hungry so we ate it all. It's not a meal though, more of a snack size in my opinion. The dumplings were good, it has an Italian twist to it - obviously because you're in Florence and not in Beijing. From the outside it does look like a regular dumpling (on the menu, they call it ravioli) the flavors inside are good combinations. The steamed edamame was good (hard to screw this up). It was a good snack, but if you're looking for a meal, you may want to order more or go somewhere else. This place is casual and has lots of seating areas. I saw that they also work with Deliveroo in case you want to order and have it delivered to you.

    I would give it three and a half. the shop interior was refreshing and the design was great. I…read morereally liked the dumplings but the rice noodles were kind of bland and hard. a pleasent surprise during our visit in florence. not sure if this concept fits into a city like florence.
