Very nice staff and very good food. Most of the menu is vegan, near Milano Central train station.
I Highly recommend the Gaspaccio and the pasta.

Pros: Close to train station, Nice staff and food, Most of the menu is vegan

Favorite Place in Milan

Consuelo and her team create an absolutely relaxed and beautiful atmosphere. the cuisine is very well curated and all tastes are properly pronounced. the best effort is made in the selection of ingredients. the variety and depth of the desserts is impressive. here you can get the best vegan tiramisu in the world. one of my favorite places.

Once again, superb culinary experience

This place never, ever disappoints me - some of the best vegan food I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot all over the world! Be warned that they get very busy on Saturdays so the service is a little on the slower side - but if you have time, embrace it and try as much as you can. You won’t be disappointed.

La Colubrina

The food was fine. I ordered a pasta dish that the waitress said was traditional Italian. It was good, but only the sauce and the veggies, as the noodles were super gritty. The portion of food wasn't that big, but I decided to pick up some snacks elsewhere rather than order more food from here. Mainly because they took a long time to prepare my meal in the first place and I was worried about receiving more gritty food, as they offered many gluten free options (which tend to be gritty). The restaurant has a nice ambiance and is perfect for a date or casual dinner.

Good food, decent price

We got the shiitake pizza and the vegetable (broccoli, cauliflower, pumpkin) one as well. Pizzas were fresh and flavorful with high quality ingredients. My only complaint was that the vegetable one was a bit dry because it didn’t have any sauce on it. They bring olive oil to every table to drizzle on top of your pizza to your liking, which I enjoyed. It does take some time to get your food but everything tasted freshly baked so it’s understandable.

Pros: Multiple vegan pizza options for around 10 Euros, Fresh ingredients

Cons: Somewhat slow service , Not all pizzas come with sauce

Pros: All vegan , Best staff

A favorite

The food is next level for vegan food. I thought it was great and you can see the amazing determination the owner has through her work and her running in the kitchen. (Also maybe something that could be improved on although I dont mind much. You shouldnt talk 100 words a second when you are telling your customers what they need to pay.)
Missed opportunity to not filter own water imo. Even though they didn’t just take any random brand for their water, they did think about it.

This restaurant is not vegan

We thought that the restaurant was 100% vegan as indicated by both Google and HappyCow but, in fact, that's not the case which was a bit disappointing.
To be fair to them 90% of the items are vegan but pizzas are not, as they are served with mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella.
I'm not sure whether this is Google's/HappyCow's fault or the restaurant's fault but I just feel it's a bit misleading that this place is marked as vegan, which inevitably attracts plenty of vegan customers like myself, while also enjoying the custom of non-vegans. No issues if they want to be a vegetarian restaurant at all, they should just mark themselves as such, or at least add signs to the menu which say whether an item is veggy or vegan.

We ordered a starter, a main, a dessert, wine and coffee each so we tried quite a few items from the menu. Most of them were good, but not exceptional. The service was good, friendly and efficient. Prices are perhaps a bit above average compared to other similar restaurants in Milan.

Tutto squisito! Porzioni abbondanti e piatti gustosi

Un ottimo ristorante vegano con piatti deliziosi, porzioni abbondanti e staff super disponibile. Ho mangiato da Dio! Dall’ antipasto al dolce. Tantissima scelta (a pranzo il menù è più limitato ma si può anche fare il menù della sera”
Lascio 5 stelle per il cibo ma ne darei 3 al locale: nonostante sia accogliente e pulito l’ho trovato un po’ buio.
Non vedo l’ora dì tornarci #Veganuary

Pros: Tutto vegan, Porzioni abbondanti , Piatti per tutti i gusti

Cons: Locale un po’ buio ma sul cibo non ci sono difett

Cibo gustoso ma decisamente porzioni piccole

Locale molto carino, ho assaggiato dei primi piatti ed erano buoni ma per quello che costano consiglierei di dare porzioni più abbondanti. Esperienza comunque positiva #Veganuary

Pros: Primi piatti ottimi , Staff gentile

Cons: Porzioni non abbondanti

Great dinner with vegan friends

Had a memorable vegan dinner at La Colubrina! The staff was very kind recommending us the best dishes available.
We decided to take a lot of dishes and share everything in order to try everything 😋
Loved the plant-based cheese & desserts!
Can’t wait to go back. #Veganuary

Pros: 100% vegan, Homemade desserts

Love for animals and passion for taste

We're had appetizers to share, starters and mains.
Taste, colours, textures, flavours... Everything was perfect.
Although the plates weren't decorated for a picture to be posted on social medias, the colours, the smells, the steam coming out of the homemade bread freshly out of the oven offered us an unforgettable intimate moment.

The staff was more than friendly, speaking English, offering advice on the dishes we'd choose and the cook even came to ask for our opinion on the food before we left, explaining us that the entire staff was vegan too.

We highly recommend this place, and don't make the mistake to not book your table ahead cause they are quickly packed.

Pros: Lovely staff, Good choice of food, Good wine

Cons: ,

Disappointed

Being Italian I was sad to be disappointed by a restaurant that was claiming to offer vegan Italian food. For lunch the options were only a few and quite expensive. Polpette were ok, the carbonara definitely a no, made using coconut milk (I think, since it just tasted like that) it was way too sweet and the "bacon" was flavourless. The cake tasted nice but still with coconut milk, a flavour very far from Italian cuisine

Brunch super!

Sono stata in questo locale il giorno del mio compleanno, con amici. Ho organizzato un brunch vegano, concordato con la proprietaria, che ha saputo consigliarmi per il meglio anche per la torta di compleanno. Ogni singola portata è stata molto apprezzata da tutti...specifico che i vegani eravamo solo io e il mio compagno, le altre 8 persone erano onnivori. Esperienza da ripetere!

Pros: Brunch abbondante , Ottima cucina, Personale molto gentile

Best vegan place we found in Milan

Family style restaurant which is popular by the locals as well.
You can get pasta, pizza, vegan cheese platter, beer and wine as well as desserts and more.

Everything is vegan and although not cheap I found the prices alright for the quality and quantity that was served.

We had Bruschetta and Pasta with cream/cheese-sauce which honestly weren't that special but the pizza (Margherita and Foccacia style with Tomatoes and grilled zucchini) were outstanding. The vegan cheese on the pizza is very good and the tomatos so fresh!

For starters, main, water and wine we payed around 50€ for two.

If this place would be in a city with more vegan options I would rate it 4 stars but this is the best place we found in Milan.

The staff was very friendly. Service was fast. The atmosphere is cosy (music is a little loud imho). You can pay by credit card and cash. Haven't seen outside seating.

Pros: Completely vegan, friendly staff

Buon cibo, staff fantastico

La cosa migliore di questo ristorante è lo staff: a conduzione familiare, le donne che lo gestiscono sono super gentili e disponibili e si vede che tengono molto a quello che fanno. Tutto è fatto a mano a partire da materie prime selezionate e rispettose della disponibilità stagionale. Sono uscita sazia e soddisfatta e penso proprio che tornerò!

Pros: Menù stagionale, Conduzione familiare, staff fantastico, Cibo delizioso

Best vegan cheese

Lovely environment, immaginate menu and very friendly stuff. I have never had a vegan cheese selection in a vegan restaurant in italy before. The cheese were outstanding and all made in house. If you are in Milan and vegan you have to come here.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: A little pricey
