Humble yet honest, Jack’s Place has tellingly been around Nanjing in various locations since 1995, serving up Italian favourites popular with expats and locals alike. Recommended by Lonely Planet, as the business card and signs outside proudly announce, Jack’s Place is well known for an atmosphere that is cozy and friendly. Freshly opened in December 2012, in the university town of Xianlin and literally around the corner from the expat enclave that is Yadong Plaza, the latest incarantion of Jack’s Place is a whopping 303 square metres. Set menus begin at ¥109 for a four course meal that includes a very satisfying local steak. Soups are another strength of Jack’s Place but their standout, signature dishes continue to be a creative pasta collection.
Another location can be found in Xinjiekou, at 35 Wangfu Da Jie. Tel: 84206485
