Amazing dinner

We had the vegan menu, which had creative and delicious courses.
It's not cheapest, but the prices were appropriate.

Good food but bad experience

The pictures from other happy cow users make it seem like there is a buffet. This is not the case anymore. You can only order a la carte.

We received a summer menu but on the website there was another menu. When we wanted to order a fig pasta, they told us the figs were not in season.. even though it was on the (seasonal) summer menu. So we could not order it. She presented us with an alternative that was not on the menu. Afterwards we saw on the receipt that this alternative was 5 euros more expensive..

Besides this, they charged us for the bread that they gave us without asking for..

The food was good, but nothing special.
I would not come back here.

Pros: Food tastes good

Cons: Small portion sizes

Vegan/Vegetarian in the heart of Rome

Amazing and quirky restaurant. Beautiful decor inside with all themed arts exposed for you to see whilst enjoying a fusion of Italian vegan/vegetarian food in the heart of Via Margutta.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice place and wine list, In the centre

Cons: Expensive , No vegan pudding apart from Sorbet/Fruit

The first vegetarian restaurant I visited in Rome

Il Margutta is the first restaurant my husband and I visited in the 90 ties when I was lacto ovo vegetarian. The food is still so delicious now when we are both vegan and we visit Il Margutta when we are in Rome.

Classy but good

This is a classy restaurant whose prices are not too high, and whose quality is undeniable. The menu offers many interesting options of naturally vegetarian (or vegan - I'd say 90% is either vegan or can be made vegan) dishes, and you can easily eat a light meal or have something heavier if you need it.

The environment is green thanks to a lot of plants, and there are paintings on the wall (that I guess you can buy) in line with the tradition of the whole street in which the restaurant is located.

The staff is very elegant and friendly. I would recommend going there without a doubt!

Great cocktails!

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to eat for dinner while we arrived in Rome. We came across the restaurant and was really excited to try their food.

The restaurant was lovely inside and out. We started off with their cocktails, which were amazing! We ordered a few of their dishes and were really disappointed. The food was not flavorful and tasted pretty bland.

During our visit, there was only one other guest. The restaurant was pretty much empty.

Pros: Amazing cocktails , friendly staff

Cons: Tasted bland

Best vegan dinner ever!

At the end of our Italy vacation we visited this vegetarian/vegan restaurant highlight. We were quite underdressed, because we were on a hiking vacation. However the staff treated us well anyway. Everything was excellent in this restaurant. They have entire multi-course menus. It's clearly marked, which food is vegan or "can be made vegan". I would say 3/4 of their menu is vegan/can-be-made-vegan. They also have several vegan wine options. I would recommend it and go here again. Obviously it's expensive, however the price is matched by excellent quality and marvelous food. We were blown away by the seitan skewers. I've never tasted such delicious seitan.

Pros: Great vegan multi-course menu "vegan emphasis", High-class food, atmosphere and service , Crazy-good seitan skewers

Cons: Expensive, but worth every Euro

Sadly our worst food in one week rom (dinner)

We were looking forward to nice food in this restaurant but it already disappointed with the starter. The salad was rotten (like really rotten), the avocado was totally unripe, hard as a rock. The sauce for the pasta was the same like the (cold) soup. The homemade bread for 4 eur(!!) was one half very nice, the other half was already dry. Our worst food in one week rome… and the most expensive with 60 eur (no wine, only water).

Pros: Service is fast , Nice place

Cons: Bad food, Bad ingredients, Too expensive for what you get

Great buffet lunch

Really liked the buffet lunch option as it meant I could try lots of different foods. The buffet is both veggie and vegan but staff made me aware of the vegan options and there was plenty of them. Special mention goes to the fried courgettes and tomato pasta. Delicious!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very good food

Cons: £15 euros for 1 plate of buffet lunch.

Good vegetarian restaurant with lots of vegan options!

Sat outside and it was really nice and peaceful! The service was good! The food was really good! They even offered me a gaspacho to start, on the house! Just a little note, if you do not want the water or bread make sure you refuse it, if you don't-- they will charge you for it!

Wow - delicious!

The lunch buffet here is really impressive - lots of choice with many different salads, hot dishes and soup, but the best thing is the care they put into making every single thing delicious. Each dish was beautifully flavored and different to the others - nothing seemed mass produced.

Amazing!!!

Regarding the vegan dishes-
The most delicious and special place in Rome! There are lots of options!
Every bite there is more amazing And full of flavors than the other.

We ordered seitan, eggplant patties (the most delicious dish we have ever eaten! really), and unique risotto!
Everyone also got in the begginnig a meal of pink tomato sauce with Cashew cheese (For free. it was of course so tasty) And another large basket of breads.
really, high level of food. Also excellent wines and service, and in general the whole design of the restaurant.

Amazing

The atmosphere and flair of this restaurant is rather high class I would say. The food tastes really good although the portions are very small and it's still quite pricey (around 13 to 14€ per dish). You can get a whole vegan menu (50€) or just a single dish. The offer a lot of vegan options and the staff is very friendly.

Pros: Delicious food, Vegetarian/vegan

Cons: Small portions, Pricey

Great staff, disappointing food

After reading such positive reviews of Il Margutta I was really excited to visit it. Unfortunately I felt it really wasn’t worth the money. The staff themselves were really lovely, the restaurant itself is nice, the food was well presented, and I enjoyed my dessert. The starters and main courses just weren’t up to scratch, my main complaint is that they were bland / under-seasoned. I was in a group of 4 people, eating various dishes, and we all found the same thing. Perhaps we just got unlucky - but I really felt the food should have tasted better for the money we paid for it.

Disappointing Sunday buffet

Been here many times before the pandemic and it was amazing. What a shame that the vegan food now is so limited and such a let down. Gorgeous surroundings but the (pricey) buffet options were a runny tasteless potato mash, plain sautéed spinach, plain basmati rice, reheated (dry) falafel, pumpkin/lentil soup…got excited seeing there was a seitan pasta but it was so bland. All the food was hand temperature and needed lots of seasoning. Pudding was nice but only 2 options of brownies and fruit salad. I really want to support this place as it’s veggie and vegan, not sure how much the pandemic has affected its resources but for the options and price, there are plenty of other places.

Pros: Nice surroundings, A veggie/vegan restaurant

Cons: Very limited vegan options, Bland food, Over priced

Ottimo ristorante di cucina vegetariana e vegana

Ristorante nel centro storico di Roma a 2 passi da piazza del popolo
Locale bellissimo arredato con tutti quadri che cambiano periodicamente
Tutti i prodotti proposti nel menu sono stagionali, questo offre una grande varietà
Tutto ciò che ho assaggiato era buonissimo, ottimi i contrasti di consistenze e sapori
Il personale è molto gentile e cordiale

Pros: Prodotti biologici e stagionali, Nel centro storico di Roma

Cons: Costoso

Brunch banale e costoso

Un brunch di 25€ per verdure cotte, cotolette di seitan, lasagna, polpettine unte e un immangiabile riso al pesto cotto al forno. In due con un vino ben rincarato abbiamo pagato 80€

Pros: Ampi spazi

Cons: Costoso, Poca varietà nelle proposte veg
