Alfani 149 - Firenze

A restaurant where you can eat the true Chinese cuisine!

We ate very well and the place was full of oriental customers who made me think that the kitchen had to be pretty faithful to the original. I got a wok of beef and potatoes. Good and abundant.

After endless pasta pizza and Florentine steaks, our group was in dire need of Chinese food and walked past “Wai Po Jia” which translates to Grandma’s House. Wow so good! We ordered garlic pork appetizer 蒜泥白肉, spicy fish stew 水煮魚, sautéed veggies (empty heart veg) 炒空心菜, garlic eggplant 魚香茄子, mapo tofu麻婆豆腐, black pepper beef, cumin cauliflower with pork belly, hot sour noodles 酸辣粉， grandma’s fried rice 特色炒飯， scallion chicken 蔥油雞, spicy cabbage. All so good. Faves were eggplant and tofu all the food was pretty spicy so if that’s not your thing just make sure to tell them! Service is quick average for Chinese restaurant, we just waved them down whenever we needed something! No photos because our group of 8 was hungry and the food did not last long!

Prompt service. Great vegetarian options. Very friendly staff. Child friendly. Just next to David gallery. Definitely recommend.

Stopped here for dinner on our trip to Florence. Location is a couple minutes walk from Accademia. Amazing, authentic Chinese food!! My Chinese parents loved it as well.
