Innovative Küche

Sehr feine innovative Küche, leider fehlen oft die Proteine, sodass man von nur Gemüse und Kohlenhydraten bald wieder Hunger hat.

Pros: Innovative Gerichte, Käseplatte

Cons: Wenig Proteine im Menu

Amazing

Definitely the best vegan restaurant in Bologna. It goes beyond the usual burger and bowl, tho they have them and are good, and they offer typical Italian dishes. Everything is very curated and the flavor profiles are on point. Can get crowded and noisy, so service can be a bit slow, but nothing major.

Pros: Excellent food all vegan, Many options , Great location

Excellent.

I strongly recommend the trianguli verdi, an exceptional combination of tastes. I tried the creme brullê dessert, which was quite nice. The staff were very friendly.

Pros: Vegan menu, Variety of exquisite dishes, Very kind staff

Semplicemente PERFETTO!

Semplicemente perfetto. È IL ristorante vegano per eccellenza. Ogni volta che torno a Bologna la tappa è d'obbligo, cerco sempre di scegliere una proposta diversa e ogni volta mi stupisco di quanto sia tutto buonissimo. Menù ampio e variegato per ogni tipo di esigenza. Il tutto condito da gentilezza e dolcezza dello staff. Bravi bravi bravi!

Pros: Vasta scelta di piatti veg, Cura nel gusto e nella ricerca degli ingredienti, Staff perfetto

Fantastisch!

Fantastisch! Wunderbares Restaurant im Herzen Bolognas. Einfach zu finden, freundliche Bedienungen die Teilweise Englisch sprechen. Die Karte ist klein aber fein, sowohl Hauptspeisen als auch Dessert haben wunderbar geschmeckt. Entweder gleich zu beginn der Öffnungszeiten erscheinen oder Reservieren, da es ein eher kleines Restaurant ist.

Pros: Innovative Gerichte, Schönes Ambiente

delicious food, great prices, good service

I had the parmagiana and I was delicious. My friend had falafel, which was also good. it was her first vegan meal and she was impressed by the parmagiana. We had dessert, which was also delicious. The staff was very friendly. After paying California prices for vegan food for years, I was surprised how low our bill was.

Pros: delicious food, great prices, friendly staff

Not again

We had the Budda Bowl and the Lasagne; both very good. I had a look at the other tables, and the plates looked very good.
Nice location in the city center. Prices are okay.

But…. The drinks… I saw more or less only flavored water on the menu. Anyway, the staff is very unfriendly (or arrogant); we arrived a little bit earlier, and as we asked if it might be possible to take a seat outside before the restaurant opens, the answer was very rude. Another staff member asked us if we are aware that this is a vegan restaurant (Yes…).

Maybe the folks received too many positive ratings.

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Very unfriendly

A little flavourless

I thought the food was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. I had the gnocchettini and my boyfriend had the Triangoli verdi and both lacked in salt. The desserts however were delicious.

Pros: Great desserts

Cons: Expensive, Could be more flavour

Ottimo ed elegante

Dopo il lockdown ha rinnovato il menù in modo da venire più incontro ai gusti popolare, i prezzi leggermente abbassati rispetto a prima. È un posto in pieno centro, elegante e raffinato, ovviamente costa un po', ma merita alla grande! Lo consiglio a tutti!!!

Pros: Tutto vegan

Vegan power in Bologna!!

The "Hugo" aperitivo was really good. Same goes for the "Natural Spritz", just the way it should be. Main dish was surely ok. We had "Green triangles" & "Parmigiana". Servings were not that huge though. Oh well, more space for the desert. The "Sweet of the day" was muffin, tasty and great presentation. Also the "Mascarponcino" tasted great. Location is top as well: right in the city center. Coffee: ok, nothing special.

Pros: Sweet vegan food. price/quality, Price/quality ok, Helpful staff

Cons: Servings on the low side

Main course disappointing

It’s a very nice place with great service, good location and nice ambiance. I ordered the green gnocchi and was quite disappointed, especially considering pretty high price. The dumplings were well done - tender and not too heavy, but the sauce and garnish had no taste at all. Wine, coffee and desert (“mascarpone” thingy) were delicious though!

Pros: Desert, Wine, Service

Cons: Prices , Tasteless main dish

super restaurant directly in the city center

I enjoyed lunch in the restaurant. I really loved the gnocchi with a little side salad. The staff was super friendly and the food came quick. Good restaurant when you want to have a solid meal in the city center.

Tasty vegan food

We really love the food. There were different vegan menus some traditional italian food as well. We really enjoyed the dinner and the location is stunning.
