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.
