Good gnocchi but a bit pricey - Edit
Enjoyed the gnocchi and 3D printed steak. The starter (moscardini, fried mushrooms) and tiramisu were a bit disappointing though. It was also expensive compared to other restaurants in Rome. So would recommend it, but there are hits and misses on the menu.

Just amazing! - Edit
Great vegan versions of traditional Italian food. The carbonara was super good and we had the 3D printed meat which was mind-blowing (a bit too close to the real thing). Also had some starters and dessert. Not my favourite one, but a very solid and tasty option in Rome.

Unexpectedly amazing - Edit
Tipical Roman osteria in veg version. Living proof that traditional can go completly vegan and stay authentical with the tast and recepies. Trully amazing!

Open late and delivers - Edit
We ordered delivery from Deliveroo. Food was ok. The arinchini was fantastic. The two pastas we ordered were ok. Not sure if the food would have been better in person. The foccassia was thin the pizza crust.

Super good!! - Edit
We tried a lot of starters and for the main dishes we went for the carbonara and gricia. Everything was super good and tasty!! A very good restaurant with cruelty free alternatives to classical roman dishes

Great food. Great location. But do not go for the 3D meat / fish - Edit
I loved everything about this restaurant advised by NON vegan friends. Great tasty food. Very impressed with the gourmet choices offered. However, few minor disappointments: the service (quite slow), the 3D printed fish (not really even closer), the dessert (a panna cotta far too sugary). That said i would go back for the more conventional seitan-based meat, the risotto, etc. Well done. And thanks to my friends for the hint.

Great selection, great taste - Edit
We got the calzone picantino and summer Seiten salad and both were absolutely delicious. We're seriously disappointed we only discovered this place on our last day, because we definitely would have come back to try their pastas and other salads.

Amazing all vegan restaurant - Edit
Rifugio Romano was recommended to me by a friend before my trip to Rome, and wow—this turned out to be one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. We shared a few dishes plus a dessert, and everything was outstanding. The restaurant fills up quickly, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. A must-visit if you’re in Rome.

Everything we ate here was amazing, the arancini and suppli were the highlights for me! So great to be able to try so many classic Italian dishes as a vegan. The service was good and the restaurant was cosy and charming.

Tasty, but Doesn't Match Hype - Edit
Maybe it's because my past history with vegan Italian food spoils me (LA), but the food here didn't match the hype we saw elsewhere. My calzone was flavorful and interesting and my wife's carbonara tasty, but we had better pasta elsewhere in Italy (and even Rome).

Rifugio, a gem in Rome - Edit
Great vegetarian and vegan food for a reasonable price. Wide variety, creamy nut cheeses, decadent desserts. The salad was amazing. Make a reservation, the place is rather tight. Responsive service.

Amazing - Edit
Really enjoyed our dinner here. They serve dinner at 6.30 pm - since we were a bit early, we tried the cheese plate and were blown away by the cheese selection! We then had the lasagna and seasonal gnocchi and were equally impressed. Would highly recommend stopping by!

Very good - Edit
We went there on our second day in Rome. We made a reservation as recommended in the reviews, and that was important. The restaurant was really busy. My boyfriend and I ordered foccacio as a starter and pasta carbonara and a pizza for the main course. The pizza was one of the best vegan pizzas I've ever eaten. Overall, there was a large selection, and you scanned the menu using a QR code. Overall, I was very satisfied and can highly recommend a visit.

Delizioso! - Edit
One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve eaten in. Not just your average vegan burger joint, but an extensive menu with appetizers, several courses, and delicious desserts. Everything is tasty and pretty, and the people who work here are very lovely. And the ambience is originally Italian! Just go and try it yourself - you won’t regret it!
