Authentic dining experiences inspire love of Chinese cuisine in Rome
Los Angeles Times
|October 29, 2025
A restaurant in Rome's de facto Chinatown has established itself as the Italian capital's top destination for authentic Chinese food, attracting curious locals seeking to expand their cultural boundaries.
-
The dishes at Hang Zhou aim to introduce diners to the broad spectrum of Chinese cuisine. As a result, the restaurant pulls in even the most discerning of Italian palates.
"I was in China in 2004 and finally, thanks to my dear friend, I managed to find a restaurant here in Italy, where the food is as good as what I ate back then in Beijing, Shanghai, and other places," said a diner, Roberto Rossi.
"In Rome, the quality of Chinese restaurants isn't always great. In this place, the food is truly excellent, and I particularly like the combination of different sweet and sour flavors. In short, it's very different from Italian cuisine," another patron, Paula Mancini, said.
