Another level - Edit
Central and unmissable for a very special dinner for a special occasion (=quite expensive). The vegan mascarpone is home made and the best I have tried.

Amazing food! - Edit
This is one of the nicest vegan restaurants I’ve been to. The service was great, some of the portions can be smaller but it depends what you order. We ordered something as an appetizer, 2 “main courses” and then 2 desserts. Everything tasted delicious and the prices are quite good given the ambience and delicious food. Highly recommend it!

Very nice - Edit
We had a lunch at Botanice Lab a few weeks ago, and enjoyed it. Portion sizes were pretty small, I have to say, so we were happy we had ordered extra potatos. I'd say this is not really high-end vegan cuisine, more like upper-middle. But that's actually preferable for me.

Best Restaurant in Bologna - Edit
A local vegan activist said this was her favorite restaurant. I came on an April weekend, off season for tourism, yet the place was packed. I almost didn't get a table because I didn't make a reservation in advance. That's how popular the place is. The food is first rate. Try the potato pastry or the green autumnal triangles. Very unique dishes!

If you want to impress your friend, it's the right place - Edit
I went to eat at Botanica Lab during a short visit to Bologna with a friend of mine. It is nevereasy to be the only vegan eater on a holiday, but in this case, I was sure the experience would be excellent.
Read moreWe were both impressed by the taste and presentation of the food! Unfortunately, we were in a hurry and only had the homemade Ravioli and Gnocchi, while for dessert, we tried the Mascarponcino (which was incredible and took me back to my childhood) and the Mango
Cheesecake.
When I return to Bologna, I will definitely go back. As a vegan cook, I can't resist trying different restaurants in the surrounding area, but also getting served and enjoying super tasty plant-based food. I also recommend it if you want to impress someone who is a bit sceptical about this type of cuisine.
Thank you for a great experience
Pros: Delicate and Tasty food, Beautiful location , Great house wine

Piatti buoni e belli da vedere - Edit
Consiglio questo ristorante per il menù interessante e la cura nei dettagli. I piatti sono stupendi alla vista e anche buoni - forse leggermente insipidi, ma personalmente preferisco meno sale al troppo salato. Le porzioni sono discrete ma comunque soddisfacenti. Il ristorante in sé è molto bello, l'atmosfera è rilassata ma chic. Personale molto gentile e servizio rapido anche al sabato sera. Consigliata la prenotazione.

A treat - Edit
I loved this place. The menu was small but there was enough variety. We got an anterior to split as an appetizer. The deserts were amazing too! Be sure to make a reservation. They were turning people away.

Insipid - Edit
Been here for dinner and we have quite high expectations, considering that the restaurant is rated as the best vegan one in Bologna. We had "Red Roll" and "Nuvola" as starters and as main course we took "Gnocchetti di Zucca", "Triangoli Verdi Autunnali" and "Beyond Burger". The chef completely forgot the use of salt in any dish, except for the Beyond Burger all other flavours were completely plain and we had such a delusion food wise. Location and service are ok, prices are fair considering the place is located in the city center. The SALT, please.

Overrated place - Edit
I visited this place for dinner. The taste of food is good, but not that far from what I would cook at home. Portions are small. The plating is well done, and I guess that's mostly what you pay for. I have tried more than one dessert and none of them was remarkable.

Delicious and nice restaurant - Edit
It was lunch time in a rainy day, and it’s a classy restaurant, fully vegan and it was close to full. We didn’t have a reservation but we were able to find a table. I had autumn triangles and my partner had the burrito. We also shared the potatoes as a side (highly recommended!). Both our mains were full of flavour. I also had the marscaponie for dessert (like tiramisu) and my partner had a chocolate cheesecake. The desserts were small but delicious. It would be great to have done other non alcoholic options (other than juice or water) but we both enjoyed it

Tanta scelta - Edit
Ci sono molti piatti particolari e questo rende la scelta veramente difficile😄Tutto buono, gnocchi cremosi e il dolce fantastico. Il prezzo è leggermente più alto di altri posti, ma vista la qualità ne vale assolutamente la pena.

Yummy food, but a bit pricey - Edit
I love how they have a good combination of traditional (pasta, gnocchi) and non-traditional food (burrito, falafel). I went there with my family and we had the falafel with baked potatoes, pumpkin gnocchi and the pasta of the day. Everyone loved it.
Read moreWe also tried to tiramisu-like dessert and the creme brulé. The dessert portions were a bit small, but at least the taste did not let us down.
Very good location, but as mentioned in the title, the mains were expensive.
Pros: Lots of options, Perfect location, Quick service
Cons: Expensive , Small desserts
