Ristorante Cinese Tian Tian Hong — Restaurant in Florence

We grew up eating Chinese food from our parents and eating out in Chinese restaurants back in San Francisco, so if you’re looking for something similar to hit that craving, this is the spot. After a week of gorging on pasta, pizza, and charcuterie-we needed our fix of Asian food. We were surprised by the low prices, some meat dishes ranging between 6-8 euros with the fancier and seafood ones ranging on 10-13 euros.
