Ristorante Cinese Shanghai In Pietrasanta

I love Chinese food, the prices are affordable and some of the lesser-known dishes are really delicious 🥺❤️🏮

Open since 2000, it was one of the first chinese restaurants in the area. I had a great time and a burst of nostalgia just by rolling in. The place, for better or worse, didn't change a dime - and I think it's beautiful. Even the menu although evolved and integrated with more things a tiny bit, sports the same ol' dishes with sauces and tastes from a begone era. Talking about the food, I'd avoid fried stuff as it kind of tastes like fish and other things (even the veggies which is not the best for vegetarian options) and doesn't taste THAT good - fried desserts apart. Fried icecream is a timeless must. The Ramen is ridiculously delicious, well seasoned, savory and warm - just get it if you dont plan to try much else though as it willxstuff you up. If suggest trying one of the small soups instead, full of umami flavor. Delicious. The gyoza were a bit chewy, but not bad. The cuttlefish with mushrooms n bamboo on the other hand was a masterpiece - I'd eat it every day. Good options are of course all the fried rices and various second serving options like sour n sweet meats (the duck is great), or anything else on a hot plate. The plates arrive with enough time for you to digest the previous serving, but not so much that you have to wait too long - service is kind and gentle, very accommodating. There is a private parking option if you go around the block with your car and keep the right - they will raise the bar for you so you can park inside. Easily accessible for wheelchairs, better to call and warn first - please make sure they understand you are on a wheelchair and not on a baby cradle - I ended up in a crowded area who made navigation a tad difficult but people moved enough to get me through so no real issue. Great place also for vegetarians even though options can be a biti limited, but fantastic experience for a blast of nostalgia when you're tired of al you can eat sushi. Finally, good selection of fruits n desserts, lot of nostalgic stuff like fried icecream, milk or cookies, or caramelized fruit, fresh Chinese fruit or pineapple. Nice selection of wines but I'd take care with some alcoholic stuff as the rose liquor only tastes like heavy alcohol and a bit of rose, the coffee is ok and the price is more than honest. Recommended for a nice dining out with some heavy late 90's nostalgic vibes. Also I updated some pics of the new menu as it has been heavily updated. Ramen is unde the "Laman" specialties, soups are the small ones.

The food was really good; I've been there several times. My only issue is the service. I ordered a few things so as not to overeat, and after finishing my food, I waited for the waitress to order again. I waited over 40 minutes before she came to my table, after looking at me at least five times during that time but completely ignoring me. In the end, I didn't order anything else.

I've been frequenting this restaurant, located just steps from the center of Pietrasanta, since I was a child. Generous portions and affordable prices. Also ideal for takeout. The staff is truly friendly, and the service is incredibly fast and efficient. There's also convenient parking outside. I highly recommend it!
