An absolute pleasure to have lunch here. All my plates arrived with little waiting, and they were all so hot I had to let them sit a minute or two or risk blistering my tongue. I highly recommend the involtini primavere, but suggest ordering two because I finished mine and instantly wanted another. Another very good appetizer is bao zi, a steamed bun with a meat filling. The house rice, is a mound of white rice smothered in a rich sauce made with shrimp, black mushrooms, and grated vegetables. Lastly I can also highly recommend the hot and sour soup (zuppa agropiccante) but advise letting it rest a few minutes because it is hot both in the spicy sense and the temperature. Overall a great meal and a great price.

I had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant with my friend and family. The waitresses were committed to great service and were very friendly and smiling. The atmosphere was awesome and i definitely liked the way they present their dishes, most important all of them tasted great! Very recommended for the price and location which is really close to the castle and center!!

A nice place to dine in. A lot of options at a amazingly affordable prices. Ordered for " Spaghetti di soia con verdure e funghi " - ofcourse it wasn't exactly as written on the menu and i customized it as they provided an option for the same. The salsa di soia wasn't strong but was kept mild and the by the look of it, it was " Spaghetti di vetro " ( " glass noodles " as it's referred to by some ) along with veggies and as requested - mushrooms as well. ** I feel this is a great option for vegetarians who can have almost the same dish as non vegetarians excluding the meat and may be adding something else as well of the customers' choice. A first time eating the complete meal with chopsticks - also went well, thankfully Additonally also had sprite for drinks and for dessert - Macedonia con Gelato. Macedonia con Gelato - at the base of the glass was the juice of litchi and whole litchi fruit along with a red fruit whose name is unclear to me as of now ( will update when i find out ) along with an ice cream scoop on top. Really beautiful!! Good service by the lady who also attends at the counter. Thank you. Once Again - Definitely
