Korea's traditional fermented napa cabbage. The leaves are salted until tender, coated in a paste of chilli, garlic and ginger, then left to ferment for a few days. We make it in our own kitchen: crunchy, spicy and slightly sour, it goes well with dumplings or a bowl of rice. Try it at GiaoGiao Duomo!

Clean and tidy environment, delicious food with great presentation, wide variety of dishes at affordable prices!
A tiny Chinese spot with a big heart!
So good! I went with my girlfriend and it's a tiny place with amazing food. We had grilled dumplings, bao and fried chicken. Super friendly, super fast, and the food was great. Special praise for the chicken: soft, tasty and spiced. We'll definitely be back!
First time here, experience beyond expectations. Beef noodles are delicious, fresh ingredients, elegant presentation.

Delicious and beautiful
Chinese take-away with a view of the Florence Duomo. Beautifully designed, industrial style, kind staff, very tech-friendly: you can order on your own. Delicious food, the best steamed dumplings I've ever tasted in Florence, served in fun packaging. Everything thought through and detailed.
Close to the Duomo, authentic spicy beef noodles. Mapo tofu is great, pork ribs at 3€ are a steal!
Out-of-this-world dumplings
Out-of-this-world dumplings at very modest prices. The veggie spring rolls are great too. A place frequented by Asians, so recommended by those who eat this cuisine often. We'll be back!
Finally a real Chinese restaurant in Florence! The food is authentic and delicious. Will definitely come back!
Very good
Everything excellent. Rice cooked well with a great sauce. The spring rolls are good too. All very tasty and generous portions.
Best Chinese food in Florence! The dumplings are amazing and the service is excellent. A must-try!
Been in Florence for three years, this is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I've ever tried. The owner is very kind!

Frequently asked questions
The answers that hold for all three GiaoGiao restaurants. Opening hours, addresses and each one’s exclusive dishes are on its own page.
What dishes does GiaoGiao serve?
Authentic Chinese food: handmade dumplings in 10 varieties — steamed, boiled and pan-fried — dim sum such as baozi, shaomai and wontons in broth, stir-fried noodles and rice, meat and fish main courses, cold dishes and bubble tea. Each GiaoGiao restaurant then adds dishes served there only.
Does GiaoGiao do takeaway and delivery?
Yes, both, from all three restaurants. For takeaway you order online on the site and collect in person; delivery is handled by Glovo, in Florence as in Empoli. At the counter a bubble tea or a takeaway dish is ready in minutes.
Is there a Chinese fast food place in Florence or Empoli?
At GiaoGiao you eat within minutes: you order at the counter or online, and a takeaway dish or a bubble tea is ready straight away. They are not fast food chains though, but three Chinese restaurants with dining rooms of their own — two in Florence, in the centre and in Novoli, and one in Empoli — where you can also sit down.
How much does a meal at GiaoGiao cost?
Around € 10 to € 20 per person, in all three restaurants. Handmade dumplings start at € 5, stir-fried noodles with vegetables at € 5.50, main courses are mostly between € 6 and € 9 and bubble teas start at € 5.
Is the menu the same at all three GiaoGiao restaurants?
No. The core is shared — handmade dumplings, dim sum, stir-fried noodles and rice, main courses and bubble tea — but several dishes, the available sections and some prices differ, and a few specialities are served at one restaurant only. The menu that applies is always the one you see when ordering online from that restaurant’s page.
Are there vegan dishes at GiaoGiao?
Yes, all three restaurants have a vegan section on the menu: stir-fried vegetables, tofu, soups, spring rolls and vegetable dumplings, with different dishes at each one. For allergies and intolerances, please check at the counter before ordering, as the kitchen also handles other ingredients.
Does GiaoGiao make bubble tea?
Yes, in all three restaurants, made to order cup by cup: 29 flavours from € 5, across milk teas with tapioca, fruit teas and drinkable desserts such as mango sago pomelo. The day’s assortment can differ between restaurants.
How long has GiaoGiao been in Florence?
GiaoGiao has been in Florence since 1961, when the family opened its first Chinese restaurant under the name Fior di Loto. Today there are three restaurants: two in Florence, in the centre and in Novoli, and one in Empoli.
