Great experience! Super delicious and authentic Chinese Sichuan food, good price, and nice staff. We ate twice here during our stay. Highly recommended.

At the end of our two-week vacation in Italy, we craved Chinese food, so we picked this restaurant. The food is authentic, and the whole experience was very pleasant. We ordered chicken as an appetizer, and it was very tender. For our main course, we had beef in spicy Sichuan sauce, which we requested to be mild, so it wasn’t too spicy. For veggies, we ordered eggplant with minced meat, which was sweet and sour. The food was delicious! The next day, we came back again and ordered tripe, pork blood jellies with veggies, and sweet potato spaghetti. Both were tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to try Chinese food.

Old Chengdu is the my home kitchen away from home in Rome. I have been here 5 years ago, and it’s great to be back again. The decoration is upgraded, and the food tastes even better. If you like Szechuan food, and you are coming to Rome, you should come here!

Great Szechuan food. Was craving Chinese food after a week in Europe. This place was absolutely solid. The hot pot fish was so incredibly tender (please watch the attached video if you need more proof). The fried rice with shrimp was awesome. Dishes are mostly on the saltier side however, which we personally don’t mind too much. Additionally, very friendly staff. The owner is very sweet and definitely very stylish! She personally welcomed every guest in and checked in with us frequently. Will definitely be back when we’re craving Chinese food again in Rome.

It's extremely delicious and perfectly recreates the flavor of Chengdu. Having been in Europe for so many days, this is the first time I have had a truly satisfying meal. And it's not expensive either. It's not too close to the railway station. It takes only two minutes to get to Temini Station. Buses, airport coaches, subways and trains are all available. Very satisfied.

Amazing and authentic Chengdu food found in the city centre, this is our second visit within the week. Very friendly staff with great service.
