Hearty food - Edit
We had a wonderful dinner at Linfa. They mostly offer down to earth Italian classics—an interesting contrast to the modern, upscale setting. I like that they don't shy away from using high-quality meat replacements. The food is very tasty. Highly recommended!

Simply, the best - Edit
I stopped by Linfa looking for a light and quick dinner after a previous year heavy lunch, and left thoroughly impressed. I asked the host to surprise me with both the main and dessert, and they took great care to explain what I'd be served upon arrival.
Read moreThe Risotto Zucchini, made with pink Puro rice and courgette cream, was beautifully creamy with a rich, cheesy flavor despite being fully plant-based. The volcanic salt garnish was a lovely touch, and the accompanying bread (as you'd expect in Italy) was excellent. It’s not what I’d usually pick, but I’m so glad I did.
For dessert, the Gourmet Glass was a standout. Light, lemony, and just sweet enough. The Sicilian almond crumble added a perfect texture, paired with a silky lemon chantilly and fresh berries. It was the ideal portion for someone not looking for anything heavy.
The food, service, ambience, and decor were all impeccable. Linfa is a true gem for vegan and gluten-free dining in Milan. Highly recommended!

Divine experience! - Edit
The food was divine. We had the tasting menu with non-alcoholic drinks. There were eight different courses, including two desserts. The service was extremely attentive. When we got bitten by mosquitoes, they immediately brought mosquito spray, and we were left in peace for the rest of the evening.

Pros: Elegant dining

High end experience - Edit
I can imagine this restaurant is gluten free heaven for those with such intolerance. I thought the food was okay. Expensive for very small portions unfortunately; the very “fancy” setting made us feel a bit uncomfortable

Excellent high-end plant-based cuisine - Edit
We went for the first meal of our honeymoon which coincided with one of their "wine club" pairings. This highlighted a really interesting Sicillian vineyard with 5 wines paired with a 5 course tasting menu.
Read moreThey clearly have put a lot of thought and effort into the pairings and the quality of food was excellent.
The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive.
Overall the price was very reasonable for the quality.
Highly recommended for a special occasion or treat.

Easy vegan restaurant - Edit
Very curated menu, I would say "easy" because several items are vegan version of other well known dishes (such as ragù). This is ok, so also non-vegan friends can enjoy 😉 the place is nice, the staff friendly enough considering the setting (after all this is fine dining), the service very fast. A bit expensive but you're in Milan so you can't really complain.

The place is super cute, modern and aesthetic. The staff are super attentive. All the menu are glúten free and vegan. I've tried the focaccia, pizza and pasta. Everything amazing! They could get the essence of all traditional Italian dishes and redrew in a better way!

Fine vegan dining! - Edit
The founder of Linfa used to be the manager of Purezza in Camden, London.
Read moreHe’s a great guy and moved back to Milan to open his own vegan, gluten free restaurant.
The food is amazing, they have a traditional Italian menu alongside a sushi menu.
The sushi is interesting although not traditional Japanese at all but the flavors are nice.
The Italian menu is very fine and such a treat!
Only disappointment was the Tiramisu which really tasted gluten free

Horrible experience - Edit
I ordered from them online to celebrate a special occasion, and risotto and pizza came undercooked and without any flavor, food was cold and sushi was too salty and tiramisu was just simply bad, I thought by the reviews that this was a really good restaurant but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone ! Not for this price

Just vegetables - Edit
The place is 100% vegan but it seems like it's owned by non-vegan people as it only serves vegetables without any other type of food like pasta, rice, beans or fake meats. Also very expensive.

Sushi davvero ottimo - Edit
Frequento questo locale dall'apertura e devo dire che negli anni è migliorato a dismisura. La qualità del sushi è migliorata in maniera imbarazzante. Ora hanno sapori davvero bilanciati e ottimi. Consigliato.

Terrible - Edit
The food was bland, no flavours. We have had multiple speciality vegan experiences across the countries and this was the worst. Italy being my own country I was ashamed to have dinner here with my husband. Only attention if you pay money like the table next to us. The risotto was cold and when questioned no one even apologised or asked if everything was ok. Don’t go!

Sehr gut. Angenehme Ambiente. - Edit
Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Portion niocchi mit cashewsauce war sehr klein. Die pulpeten hätten mehr Sauce vertragen können. Sehr gute Musik in angenehmen Ambiente. Ich war am Donnerstag Abend dort, zwischen 19 und 21 Uhr. Das Lokal war fast leer. Sehr schade. Die junge Kellnerin hat mir zwar die Jacke abgenommen und wieder zurückgebracht, aber nicht hinein geholfen obwohl ich es erwartet habe ( gewisse Körperstellung ). In dem gehobenen Ambiente soll es selbstverständlich sein. Daher Punktabzug. Die Kellner etwas zu aufdringlich gewesen.

Delicious, diverse and full of surprises - Edit
This is a real gem of a restaurant, the menu is imaginative and so diverse - we had to go for the tasting menu as could not decide. Everything was exceptional and presented with such love - this is a very special restaurant. The pizza dough is the best gluten free base I have tasted so far. The gnocchi are just the perfect balance of soft and firm and the truffle cream was divine. Everything was really exceptional - a real treat. All the wines are organic as well and a lot of the food ingredients too. The owner Eduardo goes to great lengths to source superior ingredients and it shows. Great food, lovely ambience and atmosphere- do not miss when visiting Milan! The whole restaurant is also gluten free and dog friendly which is such a bonus. We went for a big slap up lunch en route and there is a big car park nearby for the local supermarket so easy to access as parking can be a challenge in Milan. .
