    I searched for "Best Cantonese food in Rome" and Grand Dragon topped the list. I agree with all of…read morethe 5 star reviews so far. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area in California, I'd have to give this restaurant relatively high marks on a number of fronts. First off, they speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Italian from the best that I could hear." The fact that they spoke Cantonese put me more at ease since I knew they would understand some of the dishes that I was trying to order. I do not speak Chinese but someone in our party did. Secondly, the Beef Chow Fun was pretty good and had "Ho Wok Hay" (which translates to "good taste of the wok"). Wok Hay is a slightly burnt flavor from the wok that gives a dish a high degree of flavor. Not too many restaurants have this and this is a mark of a legit Chinese restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised to find this in Rome. We also ordered the Chicken in Picante sauce which was very tasty, and roast duck and spareribs in black bean sauce both of which were ok. We also had the house soup at the waitress' suggestion (probably because she knew we appreciated authentic Cantonese cuisine) and Chinese greens. The portions were fair and the prices not too cheap or expensive. I was just glad to get good quality Chinese (Cantonese food in Rome). The restaurant is simple and looked reasonably clean, the staff was friendly but a little hurried as they had a fair amount of takeaway orders. We will be here for a couple more days and will likely be returning.

    Food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. When needing a break from Italian, we decided to…read moregive Grand Dragon a try and we were very pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was. Dumplings were great and the crispy duck was fantastic!

    OK... Let me start by saying that the thought of eating Chinese food on my trip to Italy was…read moreliterally the last thing on my mind! But my husband is a creature of habit! So we picked this place. And I kid you not... It is literally the BEST Chinese food I think we've ever eaten. I lived in Spain. And Chinese food outside of America is very different. AND my husband is "Mr. Picky McPick!" I did not take BEFORE pictures UGH! because we just whomped it down! So my pictures are if half eaten food ! Sorry! The hot and sour soup was top-notch. It was a different heat. Not white pepper like I'm used to. It was definitely chili peppers. But it was still absolutely fantastic. We got the hot and spicy fried rice, which was beyond delicious. We got their Kung pow chicken... Which was different than American Kung pao chicken... But still fantastic! And we got the sweet-and-sour chicken... Which was also different than American sweet-and-sour chicken. But I'm telling you, we ate every last drop of everything. I should've taken pictures of the empty plate. Ify thought it was within etiquette rules. I would've literally licked the plates. We've been in Europe for two weeks and this was definitely one of the top five meals we've had! If you are hankering for Chinese food and you are an American, I cannot recommend this place enough!

    2nd to last review of my Euro Trip~ huzzah!…read more 3.5stars rounding 4stars since it filled us up...and it is Chinese food in Italy haha gotta curve some expectations Appreciate the staff allowing us to dine-in since we were cutting it close to closing time (several customers trickled in too after haha) The Soy Sauce Chow- Fun was eh, a tad salty but overall OK Lemon Chicken - this was OK but had this been an Asian Fusion restaurant and this was served with Japanese Katsu Sauce...I totally would've bumped this review to 5 stars haha! Ham Fried Rice - heh, more spam fried rice, standard but a goodie! Veggies ~ Gotta hand it to them... not bad, not bad at all! Until next time~
