Actual veggie dishes; cost adds up fast

I kinda stumbled upon this place while tromping around Milano. It's a by-weight food bar with dine in or takeout, and the staff fill your plate or box. They have a case facing the street, and a much larger case inside, which was just over half full, probably because I went in well after lunchtime.

I barely speak Italian, and the nice lady there didn't speak much English, but we managed all right. I asked for a medium box, and should have told her all of the items I wanted first. She gave me healthy portions of the first three things I asked for, which filled the box! So when I told her I wanted a little bit of two more things, she got another box. Well, it was more than I wanted, but it was quite good, except for the green beans. Italians do seem to love overcooking their green beans. I also got a soda and some good proper rye bread. Total bill: about 26 and a half euros.

When I went to sit down she said oh, she could put my food on a plate, but it was all right. She reheated some of the things in a microwave and left the more salad-like things cold. That was nice. It was so good to find food that isn't all refined carbs. I left feeling pretty stuffed!

Lesson: Be on top of the staff as they dish out your choices. You don't have direct control over the ladle! :-D

Pros: Actual fresh vegetables, Many dishes to choose from, Very nice staff (of one)

Cons: Easy to wind up with more food than you planned, cost adds up fast

Wide choice of options

There's a wide choice of cold and warm (i.e. to be warmed up) plates as pictured in the other reviews. Mostly, but not all, vegan food. Few tables make it more suitable for a quick lunch break rather than a restaurant. It's like a buffet but not self service. The staff is very friendly and kind.

Pros: Artichokes, aubergine "meat"balls, Friendliness

A little expensive for what it was

We popped in here expecting some grab and go sandwiches, but the cabinets were mostly empty. We paid like 30 euros for a big plate of food, and then they just put it in the microwave to heat it up 🤣

The staff were a little tired, uninterested, and seemed a little annoyed that we didn't speak Italian. (Fair, but we were trying our best 😭)

There was a good range of food, and it was pretty yummy, but it wasn't a stellar dining experience.

Pros: Good range of food

Cons: Expensive, Cranky staff, Nothing to grab and go

Very expensive

The staff were lovely, super friendly and happy to run me through what everything was, but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed with the food and the price. It was very expensive for a small amount of food that I didn't particularly enjoy, and was quite bland. I wouldn't visit again.

Edit: looking at other people's pictures, it looks like there used to be much larger salads etc, the options were more limited when I visited. She mentioned there being a new menu, so not sure if this is a permanent change or just due to the day/time I went

Too expensive

Went there for a quick lunch to find that most of the main dishes were pretty similar to one another ingredient-wise, and while some were quite good, most were rather bland.
What’s more, both the “buffet” and the smaller treats (which are paid per piece rather than weight) are shockingly expensive, we paid around 60€ for three small plates!
Also, they only offer single-use dishes and cutlery, even if you dine in.
All in all, the food here is ok, but not really worth the high price.

Explosion of taste

We stopped off here for lunch, food price is through weight of the food. All but two options were vegan with a variety of options, far to many to list. I had a a mix of salads with fresh veggies and chickpeas all with different herbs and spices with a veg melody pastry type wrap.

Pros: 80% of options vegan, Variety of options, Friendly staff

Choice and flavour

A great choice. You choose what you whatever you want, they plate it up and heat it up fo you. Amazing choice of flavours and vegetables, rice's, wraps and mini burgers.

High Prices, but Fair for the Quality

This place has a very interesting and high quality range of products. Obviously, quality comes at a price, so it's not really the best place for something quick and cheap, but a whim can be granted every now and then

great, but expensive

the food was really good, they had a lot of options, but it was very expensive. I spent 39 euro on my meal(only one person) which really surprised me when i was paying. I think it was worth it for one time but I wouldnt go bacj just because of the price

Pros: tasty food, variety in options

Cons: price

Ehh

I really don't like leaving bad reviews... But this place was just not good. It is essentially a hot bar, but all the food is refrigerated except for kept warm. It is warmed up in the microwave before serving. That I have no issue with, it isn't ideal but the food still has the potential to be good.

Now the taste - a few of the smaller dishes we had were pretty good, but the main courses that we tried were incredibly bland, almost inedible.

All of this is accompanied with the fact that the food is SO overpriced, even if you try to be very frugal you will end up spending over 15 euros per person. I'm not afraid of spending lots of money on good food, but this food isn't worth more than 5-6 euros per person.

I know Milan doesn't have lots of options for vegans, but I would steer clear of here.

Well presented

Stumbled upon this place after eating at a nearby vegan restaurant. It's very visually appealing so we went in and had a look, even though I was full.
Realised that the items labelled "veg" are vegan, and there were lots!
Got the breaded pumpkin and vegetable, which was warmed up in the microwave, which obviously affects the crispyness of it. It was ok, obviously would have been better freshly cooked.
What I really didn't like though, was that they gave us a plastic knife and fork, and paper plate when I could easily eat it by hand (it's not very big) on a napkin.

Cons: Food warmed up in microwave

Poor quality vegan and vegetarian food

Vegan food by the weight!

Food**
This is more like a buffet you choose the dishes. It is a mix of vegan and vegetarian. We got the pumpkin, gnocchi and peas, a vegan mozzerella roll, and some kind of zucchini breaded wrap. The vegan mozzarella roll was good but the rest of the food was not great at all. We got a mix of dishes and we were very unimpressed by flavors and tastes. Additionally, our food was heated in a microwave. How classless.

Atmosphere**
Inconvenient and annoying upstairs eating and a table downstairs.

Service***
The woman that helped us was very nice. That’s about all we can say.

Price $$
$ = under $10 a dish, $$ = under $15 a dish, $$$ = under 20 a dish, $$$$ = over $20 a dish

Pros: Service was ok

Cons: Bad food and overpriced

Nice food but very expensive!

I actually spend a painful amount of money on food because I love it so much but this place was sooo expensive. $35 per kg of food is a lot when it’s not even warmed up. It tasted nice but I wouldn’t pay that again.

Not the best, not the worst

It's nice to go to an only vegan place. Many, many options available. However, it comes out quite pricey at the end and not everything was good.

Pros: Only vegan options + authentic cuisine, Friendly staff, You can take the food with you if you don't finish

Cons: Very expensive, Not everything is a hit, Uncomfortable tables and sitting options

Cucina Veg

Passeggiando ho scoperto questo posto interamente vegano, colpisce subito la vetrina tutta colorata e ricca di verdure di stagione; sono entrata per un asporto, ho preso diversi assaggi tutti veramente buoni e con un sapore particolare, buonissimo il sofficino non fritto con asparagi e mozzarella di riso ma anche la parigina con cime di rapa!!!
Consiglio di provare questo posto, ritornerò sicuramente ad assaggiare altre creazioni di Cristina la chef!
Altra nota positiva il personale gentile e preparato!

Cibo costosissimo e insipido

L’impressione iniziale è stata ottima; vetrine piene di piatti colorati e apparentemente appetitosi. Ciò mi ha spinto a farmi comporre un piatto un po’ abbondante per provare un po’ di cose. Innanzitutto, il cibo viene riscaldato (male) nel microonde. Poi le pietanze che ho scelto avevano quasi tutte lo stesso sapore indefinito, ed erano particolarmente insipide e mollicce. In particolare, ho preso una “””parmigiana””” che era sostanzialmente formata da fette di zucchina - credo alla griglia - alternate a pane (?) inzuppato di passata di pomodoro scondita e fredda. Anche il dolce, uno strudel di pere, era duro e quasi tutto impasto. Infine il conto: un piatto con 6 porzioncine e due cucchiaiate di salsa, un dolce e una bottiglietta d’acqua mi sono costati più di 40 euro! Io sono vegano da anni e anche di buona forchetta, non sono particolarmente critico sul cibo, ma conosco moltissimi posti a Milano che offrono cibo vegano mille volte più buono e a meno della metà di quello che ho pagato qui, quindi se questa recensione può evitare a qualche altro vegano di buttare via soldi o a qualche onnivoro di farsi un’idea negativa del cibo vegano, ben venga. Ah, e non hanno il bagno (che sarebbe obbligatorio per legge). Unica nota positiva: la commessa che ci ha serviti è stata molto gentile. Dedico a lei le due stelle che sono stato costretto a mettere.

Pros: personale gentile

Cons: costosissimo (anche per gli standard milanesi), insipido, non c’è il bagno

Tasty!

The food is really tasty, the flavours are complex yet well balanced. It’s pricey, but it’s probably due to the location near the city center.

Looked more delicious than it was

We where there for lunch. The staff was friendly, and they placed the food on our plates and warmed it up.
We tried five or six dishes each, and we really liked a kind of mozzarella toast. The other dishes are nice, but they didn't tasted as good as they looked like. So the price is quite high. You can sit down. They have also smoothies and sweet options.

Pros: Great options, You can try a lot

Cons: Expensive , Taste could be better

Excellent variety

The food was delicious, especially the red pesto sauce, (which I would recommend to have, as some of the dishes can be a bit dry). The choice is fabulous. The eating area is very small and not very comfortable. Also, all the plates and cutlery are disposable, which is why I didn’t give this place five stars.

Pros: Excellent choice, all vegan and very imaginative , Lovely server, spoke slowly to us in Italian, Good selection of desserts

Cons: Very small eating area, Disposable plates and cutlery, Food is reheated by a microwave cooker

Artisti del Vegetariano

El peor restaurante vegano en el que he estado. La comida (que se recalienta en un microondas) está malísima y es muy cara. Tampoco dejan usar el aseo. No lo recomiendo para nada.

Good but expensive

(versions italiana più giù)
I found this place by chance, all options are vegan and there is a lot of choice.
It does takeaway but you eat there too, however it is not so comfortable since the chairs are backless.
The price is per kilo and a bit expensive.
The things I ate were all good and really colourful and they had a lot of different flavoured hummus (taggiasca olives, basil, ...) from which to choose from.

(it)
Ho trovato questo posto per caso e c'è l'imbarazzo della scelta.
Si può prendere da asporto o mangiare lì, tuttavia non è così comodo mangiare lì in quanto le sedie sono senza schienale.
Il prezzo è al chilo ed è un po' caro
Le cose che ho mangiato erano tutte buone e molto colorate e avevano un sacco di hummus aromatizzato con diverse cose (olive taggiasche, basilico, ...) tra cui scegliere.

Pros: All vegan, Many choices

Cons: Price

Vegan heaven in the centre of Milan

I found this spot by accident, but that was definitely good luck! The place is rather cosy, but the food is amazing and the owner is super friendly and shows true Italian hospitality. I definitely recommend it!

Pros: All options are vegan , Great spot, Friendly owner
