Il Dragone d'Oro In Roma

Beautiful, elegant, and discreet atmosphere. The menu is just right: neither excessive nor limited, with traditional dishes and some slightly more gourmet options.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Rome. If you like Asian cuisine, it's worth a visit.

Excellent and cheap! Fresh and fragrant wonton soup, meat-filled buns (bao) that looked truly homemade, very good dumplings, lovely dining room.

A beautiful, elegant place where I had a delicious stir-fried rice with vegetables and shrimp (the shrimp were really good, juicy, and not at all frozen-tasting), a generous serving for just €8. The staff were also friendly and quick. Highly recommended.

Verrry delicious. I was craving some asian food in Rome and saw this shop. authentic taste. Will come again when i’m back to Rome. If u want a change of taste after all day Pasta in Italy, give this restaurant a try. They also sell Pasta. I tried hong you chao shou. So delicious. Thanks

Elegant restaurant, excellent quality and perfect service.

Beautiful restaurant, friendly and attentive staff. Excellent food. Highly recommended.

I was sitting inside, near the door leading outside, and every time a waiter passed from inside to outside, or someone came in or out, it was cold because they didn't close it. I had to put on my coat!

My favourite place in the region

Dao Bistrot was established in the building that housed Dragone d'Oro for four decades, an old-fashioned Chinese restaurant that has always stood out in Rome's Chinese restaurant scene for its quality and the innovation brought to the menu by its owner Jianguo Shu over the years. Here too, Jianguo Shu felt the need to innovate the format and, following in the footsteps of his Dao Restaurant, created the bistro. The interior design is reminiscent of Dao Restaurant's interior, perhaps even entrusted to the same studio. The interior is elegant and comfortable, with soft lighting and spacious tables, spaced adequately apart. There's also the option of dining outside on an elegant veranda. Regarding the cuisine, the menu has also been revolutionized compared to Dragone d'Oro, featuring new dishes but fewer options, as befits a bistro. We started with a Chinese pizza with fermented vegetables and meat. A type of stuffed pizza with a dough similar to puff pastry. The meat inside—pork, I'd say—is very flavorful and pairs well with the vegetables, a perfect starter appetizer. Then we tried the Ji Rou Shou Zhua Bing, a crispy bao filled with chicken and Chinese mushrooms, onion, and oyster sauce. Unfortunately, the crispy pastry surrounding the filling was a bit too greasy, but despite this, the filling was very good, dominated by the mushrooms and the flavor of the oyster sauce. Now we come to one of the menu's highlights: the steamed bao filled with duck breast, the Ya Rou Jiabao. The bao dough dissolves without needing to be chewed as soon as it comes into contact with your mouth, leaving room for the juicy duck breast, with a very thin outer crust that pairs perfectly with the moderate sweetness of the oyster sauce. A true delight you won't want to end. But it's so easy to move from one delight to the next: the mix of eight different types of ravioli is served. Of the nine types offered in the mix, there are eight, presumably because the ninth type is ravioli in broth. The mix offers one ravioli of each type, each better than the last. Each ravioli is distinguished by its characteristic ingredient, ranging from chicken, to shrimp, to vegetables, tofu, pork, and shrimp together, all generously sized. If you want to get an idea of ​​how spectacular these ravioli are, the mix is ​​perfect. Having some space left, we also tried the Guoba. A special preparation based on puffed rice with octopus, chicken, shrimp, Chinese mushrooms, onion, carrots, zucchini, and asparagus. Served in a hot cast iron wok, it's a true specialty. The crunchiness of the rice pairs perfectly with all the flavorful and well-combined ingredients, cooked to bring out the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Regarding the price, I'd say it's absolutely in line with the offerings. For two, sharing the dishes described, with a beer and mineral water, we paid €55. Highly recommended, and we'll be back soon.
