Il Gusto di XINGE

Italian/Western/“modern” twist on fine dining Chinese cuisine. Very strong artistic direction in the food, experience and interior design. The staff are excellent and it is clear that every dish, and moment is passionately cared for. I had ‘meat’ tasting menu with tasting wine. Wine pairing in line with the creative concept. An excellent experience with also a creative sense of humour. Highlights for me, beef muscle starter (long cook Chinese spice beef with modern start twist) , (gold) soup dumpling and the fun candy inspired Yoyoi Kusama salad - the latter paired with a tuscany mango-peach white wine. For me personally as an asian, I would like to see stronger chinese confidence in the flavours - it is there but I think it can be bolder! I would guess the main clientele is not yet used to strong asian flavours + knowledge. I enjoy this tension however. “Ethnic” food is always some form of negotiation. Deserving of a Michelin star. Much enjoyed thank you very much! Go support this inspiring woman of colour owned business 🌸

Unbelievable and unique. Food was awesome and so was the service. Highly recommend. If you want to experience something different with some familiar flavours book here.

This restaurant is a real gem in Florence. It is a Modern creative Chinese Experience. The tasting menu pairing with cocktails will be blow your mind. The Chef is so pasionate, the whole experience was incredible. Highly recomended.

One of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had. They are on the Michelin list but I think that doesn’t describe how wonderful, inventive, and chic this establishment is! They truly deserve a Michelin star or two or three! Food, vibes, cocktails, staff, all incredible.

XINGE appeals to the eyes before the mouth- the interior of the restaurant is a lovely fusion of spaceship and traditional Chinese architecture, and the food itself is no less impressive. Everything was extremely appealing and delicious, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. This is a great place, and I highly recommend checking it out. Do follow their Instagram as well.
