Amazing vegan options - Edit
This vegetarian/vegan restaurant is just a few steps from Piazza del Poppolo and offers daily buffet with plenty of vegan options. All the cakes are vegan as well.

Fairly dissappointing - Edit
I have been to this restaurant twice and I expected a lot more from what I had seen online. The place attempts to create a very fancy atmosphere for which they also put the prices. I had the following:
Read more- Tagliolini with cherry tomato & figs: Absolutely to die for! I have rarely had such a good pasta dish.
- Seitan cutlet (recommended by the waitress): This was not good at all though and literally just served on a few leaves of lettuce. It was more like something you would receive in a 'loving hut'.
- Maccheroncini with aubergines, tomato, capers & olives. I was literally just served a tomato pasta with way too mcuh chili/pepper. Not bad but not even remotely reflecting the price (14 for a pasta that wont fill you up) nor the description.
Staff seem posh and uninterested. Pick your dishes carefully.

Cons: expensive, posh/arrogant atmosphere and staff, two out of three dishes were underwhelming

Original and creative vegan fine dining! - Edit
Super creative, artisanal, fine dining. They have been there since 1979 and are one of the original and best vegetarian restaurants in the world. Great ambience and character in a wonderful and lively setting.

Slechte service - Edit
Restaurant zou volgens website om 12 uur open gaan. De ober zegt om half 1 open te gaan. Om kwart voor 1, na 3 kwartier gewacht te hebben, gaan ze nog steeds niet open en hangt het personeel maar een beetje rond. We zijn na lang wachten dus maar weer opgestapt. Teleurgesteld.

Una cena fuori dal comune - Edit
Posto molto bello, una cena fuori dal comune, sia per l'esposizione delle opere d'arte mentre si mangia, sia per il menù molto diversificato nelle sue opzioni vegetariane e vegane. Avrei ordinato tutto il menù!!
Read moreUnica cosa da migliorare sono gli spaghetti al sapore di mare con il plancton perché non sapevano tanto di mare (erano molto buoni lo stesso!). Il personale è molto gentile e ci tornerò, così mi godo un'altro artista e altri piatti

Great service - Edit
Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. Vegan food was OK but nothing special for such a more upscale place (and one dish was a bit salty). I'd go there again if I was in the corner, but for the food I wouldn't go miles out out of my way to get there. Nice setting.

Cena vegana ottima - Edit
Sono stato a cena in questo ristorante con il mio ragazzo e una coppia di amici. Sul menù ci sono alcuni piatti completamente vegani e tanti altri indicati come opzioni vegane che è possibile riadattare. Abbiamo assaggiato due piatti a testa e siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti, è stato tutto buonissimo. In particolare gli spaghetti di zucchine ai fiori di zucca sono stati il piatto migliore a mio parere. Siamo stati serviti da Valerio, che è stato davvero gentile e disponibile. Nel complesso è stata un'ottima cena e consiglio davvero questo ristorante.
Read morePros: Molte opzioni vegane
Cons: Prezzi leggermente alti

Very nice veg dinner - Edit
This is one of if not the oldest dedicated veg restaurants in Rome. It’s quite nice with the decor and vibe, off the busy high street, and priced accordingly a bit high. Service was prompt and the dishes were all very well presented. The risotto I had was very rich and flavorful. If you are vegan definitely specify that as it seemed like most things were made with dairy by default.

Elegant, nice and great food - Edit
If you are in the city centre and you want to spoil yourself, that's the place for you! The Margutta restaurant is not only "a restaurant", it's a cuddle, a place where you can rest and enjoy the food.
Read moreThey have a vegan/vegetarian buffet formula during the week, for lunch and in the evening you can eat a la carte. The buffet formula includes a dessert and drinks and it is fairly cheap ( it should be about 15 euros).. The prices change in the evening and it becomes really expensive. Ah! The desserts are amazing!

Brunch buffet - Edit
My husband and I had the brunch buffet- we loved most everything we had! It was hard to tell by sight if some things were vegan vs vegetarian but the staff was omnipresent and helpful. We arrived before opening but they still seated us and made us coffees while we waited. Very good food great service.
Read morePros: Great customer service, Good food, Everything on buffet fresh and well attended

Reservations not honored - Edit
This restaurant refuses to honor reservations and lies to your face when you show up on time with your family. Their lack of ethics in management likely means a lack of ethics elsewhere... maybe their food contents? Vegan friends, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
Read morePros: None
Cons: Does not honor reservations , Lack of ethics in management , Questionable ethics throughout

Delicious veggie foood in a comfortable restaurant - Edit
I had a romantic dinner for two here this week. We were given a great corner table that could have seated 6. The menu is contained within a magazine about the gallery. This is a vegetarian restaurant and the many vegan options are clearly marked.
Read moreWe both ate the "Vegan Emphasis" tasting menu for 50 euro each. A tray of home made vegan bread was provided for free. Menu was; amuse bouche, artichoke carpaccio with a breaded tofu finger, cauliflower cream (a yummy soup), macaroni in a tasty sauce, slices of seitan with spinach and a delicious orange sauce, peanut cream. We had Vietti Nebbiolo wine 32 euro, which was marked vegan on the wine list. It was tasty and the bottle label was also marked vegan.

I think the most famous vegan part of this restaurant is the vegan buffet which I didn’t go to. I had dinner here and the waitresses were unsure if the vegan food I ordered was even vegan.

Buffet vegetariano e vegano variato e buono in ottima posizione centrale - Edit
Sono stata in questo ristorante durante il weekend sia il sabato che la domenica a mezzogiorno. In questi giorni c' e un buon buffet per 25 euro a persona. Durante la settimana a pranzo costa meno. Il ristorante si trova in posizione centrale in zona pedonale. E molto affollato quindi forse e meglio prenotare. Il personale e efficientissimo, il menu del buffet e vario e puo incontrare tutti i gusti con proposte di cibo sano e gustoso. In particolare ho apprezzato i dolci vegani e le crocchette. La domenica la scelta vegana e un po' limitata, ma il sabato e eccellente. La domenica c' e anche musica dal vivo al pianoforte. Il rapporto qualita prezzo e ottimo. Unica critica che vorrei fare e la presenza di piatti col seitan che essendo molto ricco di glutine non e molto salutare. Consiglierei di utilizzare per i vegani il tofu e/o il tempeh.

Délicieux - Edit
En voyage à Rome pour notre honeymoon, nous sommes ravis d'avoir découvert ce restaurant. Le personnel est sympathique. Nous avons pris un menu découverte Dolce Vita composé de 8 services un verre de bulles. Rien à dire délicieux et ca change tellement des restaurant vegetariens habituels. C'est le prix d'un très bon resto mais foncez pour vous faire plaisir!

Vegan fancy dining - Edit
Was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this place across the board, had a lovely experience. My wife and I both split the panzanella, truffle & black garlic pasta (must try), vegan pesto pasta (herbaceous), and the seitan paillard (kind of smoky, grilled and steak-like). Mango option for dessert was like a mango cheesecake, totally melt in your mouth delicious. Presentation was beautiful throughout and all staff was pleasant.
Read morePros: Excellent vegan fine dining
Cons: Expensive (worth it for a treat), Not 100 percent vegan
