Shanghai Naturalmente — Restaurant in Padua

We were visiting Padova for 3 days, we were searching for a good Chinese, as we always do when on holiday. The Shanghai Naturalmente had very good reviews, so we tried it and wow!

Overall, excellent place, good food, and good...

The place is central and cheap, with a cover of 1.8€ ( I went alone), and the service is fast. Sadly, despite coming here after reading the glowing recommendations, I did not think much of the food. I ordered rice noodles with vegetables - the egg looked like it had been added after cooking the veggies and the dish smelled very eggy because of it. This was a bit of a let down only saved by the amazing chili sauce generously provided with the fried bread bits at all tables. I also got the fried cauliflower which looked disappointing and tasted steamed...
