Il Mandarino In Montecatini-terme

The first and best Chinese restaurant in Valdinievole

Chinese restaurant that I remember having always been there (going back 20 years), good food and more than honest prices. Revisited this evening and what can I say; I reaffirm my opinion.

I often order take away, but I have eaten there many times too, they are always kind and friendly, I really like the food. I recommend it.

Ottimo ristorante cinese, attenti al servizio e ai clienti. Servizio al tavolo effettuato sempre con estrema gentilezza e il sorriso, piatti tutti strabuoni. Ristorante da provare per passare una bella serata, mangiando bene. I miei complimenti.

After years of not coming to this place, I returned for dinner. The area is not the best and the external appearance suffers as a result. Once inside, you can smell the characteristic smell of Chinese cuisine and, even if it seems to be strong, it does not disturb and above all it does not stick to your clothes. We took various types of ravioli: grilled, steamed, Cantonese style. All delicious, only the steamed prawn ones seemed a little overcooked. Rice noodles with vegetables are good and soy noodles with meat are good but perhaps a little too greasy. Grilled prawns cooked to perfection and an amazing lemon chicken served as second courses. For dessert, the classic caramelized fruit, fried ice cream with crunchy batter that goes well with the ice cream inside. A separate mention for the Chinese bitter affogato. Very good but to be avoided if you can't handle high-proof liquors. The sake is pleasant, with an unusual aftertaste. Spending aligned with the quantity and quality of the dishes. Update: we keep coming back and trying different dishes. Always a pleasure, thanks also to the staff.
