Amazing experience - Edit
We came here very curious to try the menu and were not disappointed. We ordered many dishes to sample a bit of everything, and we were extremely satisfied. Every dish shows great research, and the mix of flavors is incredible. It’s a must-stop in Milan.

WOW! Just WOW! 🤯 - Edit
We were there yesterday and had an amazing experience!
Read moreWe had: Vitello Stonnato, Shiitake ragù with garganelli (I), Risotto Milan, Brasato (my husband), and Passion Rocher.
Everything was exquisite.
I used to make “Vitello Tonnato” myself when I still wasn’t vegan and, to be honest, I wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference.
The risotto — my husband, a true Milanese, was blown away. Even I, not being a big rice fan, would have ordered it myself.
The ragù… it was so delicate, all the flavors — intense yet subtle at the same time.
The brasato, another typical Milanese dish — my husband was, again, blown away. He even grabbed a spoon because he didn’t want to leave a single drop of mashed potatoes on the plate. 😅
The dessert was pure poetry: the combination of the chocolate mousse, the passion fruit jelly, the chocolate cake, and the cacao nibs — the perfect harmony of flavors and textures.
We had two glasses of red wine, which were also delicious.
And I swear, we are really picky when it comes to food!
The service was also great and they made us feel very welcome.
After telling the staff how great their food was, they told us they’d won an award as the best plant-based Italian restaurant worldwide. Yes, that definitely made sense. 😉
The only little thing that could be improved, just to make the experience even more amazing, would be the music. They play instrumental electronic beats that aren’t very relaxing and would work better in a cocktail bar than in a haute cuisine restaurant. But that’s just being really, really picky.
I highly recommend this place. Go. Just go.
Pros: Amazing food, Very good wine, Very good service
Cons: The music could be more relaxing

Stunning food and restaurant - Edit
I had an amazing meal here! My only disappointment was that the restaurant was so empty - it’s such a huge, beautiful space, I would love to see it on a more lively evening. I had the caprese (interesting variation on a classic), truffle steak, and apricot & pecan sablé. All were outstanding, especially the steak. Not cheap, but high quality.

This place far exceeded my expectations! - Edit
What's not to love! The zucchini flowers are a must. Between the delicately crunchy exterior and the creamy interior that compliments it perfectly, I highly recommend you don't skip these. The only dish that was a disappointment was the ricotta. It was giving scrambled tofu, not ricotta. I took the leftovers, added some classically Italian veggies, and had it for breakfast the next day. It was much better the second time around.
Read moreI went with my mother (non-veg) for dinner, and we both loved it so much we returned for a late lunch the next day. We ate ourselves into a food coma both days.
It was hands down the best meals we had in Milan.

Great vegan restaurant - Edit
We had dinner in this nice atmosphere with attentive staff.
Read moreWe tried the little pizza with mushrooms the fake chicken in apricot glaze. Both delicious.
For dessert we ate the modern tiramisu and the sablè.
I was disappointed with the sablè, not really tasty but the look was nice.

Molto buono ma niente di speciale - Edit
Abbiamo dovuto ordinare due pizze, perché il menu è completamente vegano e senza glutine. Questa combinazione non si trova spesso.
Read moreÈ tutto molto buono, ma purtroppo le pizze non sono molto grandi. Non ci ha convinto, ci sono pizze più buone dal punto di vista del gusto.
Pros: Vegano e senza glutine, Pizze
Cons: Non molto grandi

#1 in Milan - Edit
Absolutely delicious, completely vegan and gluten-free.
Read moreThe pasta al ragu and risotto were sooo good, the vegan steak unlike anything I've eaten before and the tiramisu amazing (but unfortunately, we couldn't finish our dessert because we were so full of everything else...).
Other than that, the interior is very cosy, the attention to detail in the decor and presentation impressive (custom cutlery, plates, glasses, ...) and the staff super-friendly. And all of this for a very fair price!

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.

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.

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
