Il Mandarino In Firenze

28/11/2025: These people are the real deal. Food is on point. I was a bit disappointed with how small of a portion my ramen was, but everything was delicious enough for me to come back and try other dishes.

08/11/2025: Intrigued by Japanese culture, having already experienced it authentically on a trip to Japan, we wanted to give this place a try. The food was good and had unique, well-matched flavors, but you can't afford to pay €10 for three pumpkin meatballs, and the main courses are tiny portions. They're presented as sharing dishes, but in reality, they're not even enough for one person. We paid €80 for four appetizers, and I left still hungry. We didn't even order wine; we had hot tea to accompany our meals, as is customary in Japan. We paid €8 for tea, which was delivered late after the meals were already finished. It's a great, innovative concept, but they should reconsider the prices and portions, because I wouldn't recommend it or return for now.
