The food and service were amazing. My fiancé and I made reservations and it did not disappoint. We did the tasting menu and we were very pleased with what they offered. We did not prefer two items on the list and they replaced them with two other items. 10/10 would return. The wait staff was very accommodating and friendly. Offered us suggestions on drinks as well as food. This is now one of our favorite spots in Florence! This is a must go when traveling here!

One of the more interesting Michelin awardees that I have experienced this trip. The setting is elegance and the concoction of Chinese dim sum-inspired dishes (360 degree Fantasy tasting menu) is nothing less than fun and invigorating. The owner is hospitable and a casual chat revealed that she was in fashion industry, which explains the coutour-ish food presentation. The cocktail pairing is great but I presume Chinese tea pairing would be exquisite! Service is impeccable and we all had a wonderful evening at the dining table.

The food was very good, but most of all the service and all the explanations that comes with every plate is excellent.

Beautiful interior but not so attractive location. Friendly and helpful staff but the timing could be better. Delicious and exiting tastes but sometimes less practical to eat. Do visit, the originality is great.

Creative and innovative menu with top ingredients and nice presentations. Only one or two plates stood out in terms of taste so may be better to go for the tasting menu to get a good sample

Having traveled the world and savored Chinese cuisine in some of the finest restaurants in Beijing and Shanghai, I can confidently say that dining at Il Gusto di Xinge in Florence was an unparalleled experience. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between traditional Chinese elements and a chic, modern aesthetic, making it an inviting space for both locals and international visitors. The owner and chef, Xin Ge Liu, truly sets this restaurant apart. She personally visited our table to share her philosophy and the deeply personal inspirations behind each dish. Her stories of growing up in China, woven with memories and experiences from her childhood, enriched the meal, making it not just a dinner but a profound cultural immersion. Chef Liu's approach is both poetic and innovative, evident in every course served. The dishes were spectacular, combining fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and impeccable presentation that could easily be considered artistic masterpieces. The wine selection was equally impressive, thoughtfully chosen to complement the intricate flavors of the cuisine. From the warm greeting upon arrival to the last sip of wine, every moment at Il Gusto di Xinge was memorable. Chef Liu's passion for her craft and her ability to connect with guests through her culinary creations made this not just a meal, but a truly extraordinary dining journey. For anyone looking to experience the best of Chinese cuisine with a personal touch, Il Gusto di Xinge is a must-visit in Florence.

This was my third visit and it is such an experience! The food is wonderful and presentation magical. It’s not over the top, just very well done. I continue to discover plates I want to try on my next visit!
