Sempre una sicurezza - Edit
Cosa potremmo volere di più di una tipica trattoria romana, ma 100% vegetale? Staff fantastico, atmosfera verace, cibo spaziale e prezzi onestissimi in confronto all'offerta

Tutto ottimo! - Edit
Sono stata due volte a pranzo al Rifugio Romano ed entrambe le volte ho mangiato benissimo. Allego le foto delle varie cose assaggiate. Tutto squisito!
Read moreIn due, abbiamo speso circa 40 € a testa mangiando antipasti, un primo, un secondo, il dolce e da bere.
Le porzioni sono molto soddisfacenti. Poi, vorrei dire che il tiramisù del Rifugio Romano è qualcosa di unico!
Tutto promosso alla grande.
Ci tornerò ogni volta che potrò.

Mamma Mia ! - Edit
This restaurant blowed my mind! It doesn’t have the typical “vegan” restaurant look. I have to asked if the restaurant was really vegan . I can’t believe how good was the food ! I’m sorry I don’t have enough time to eat all they have to offer. It was AMAZING! If you are in Rome you must eat in this place . You should do a reservation because was very busy and they kindly let us in for 40 minutes before it got crowded.

A must-visit! - Edit
We booked a table and I think that’s the best way to get a seat here as it is very busy - many people were turned away on the door so be sure to book!
Read moreThe food here was incredible - I cannot give the place high enough praise! There is lots of exciting dishes to choose from. The arancino and fried artichoke are great for antipasti. I had the tonnorelli with the pumpkin sauce for a main, which I also recommend. The Nutella panna cotta is also fantastic.
Pros: Large menu to choose from , Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Hard to get a table, but worth it - Edit
We had to book twice: the first time, we were on the waiting list. When we showed up, they said that there was no chance that we have a table tonight. We were able to book for a late breakfast later.
Read moreThat was worth it! Every dish that we tried was a delicious vegan version of Italian classics

Non ha deluso le mie aspettative - Edit
Locale piccolino e familiare, il personale è moolto gentile ed il cibo unico; non mangiavo una carbonara da 5 anni ed è stato meraviglioso riassaporare vecchi sapori MA senza crudeltà.

Good for trying different Italian dishes in vegan version - Edit
This place is tiny and very popular. The menu is extensive. I was looking forward to try some, but had a carb overload after a couple days in Rome so I was too full too soon. Didn’t help that both suppli and mezzemanica alla gricia were rich and filling.

il mio ristorante vegano preferito a Roma - Edit
Frequento questo ristorante da quando ancora non era al 100% vegetale e devo dire che dopo aver provato molti dei loro piatti sono ancora più convinta che sia una realtà magnifica. Il menù è molto vario e adatto a tutti i palati, inoltre non ci sono retrogusti strani tipici di molte delle pietanze vegetali in circolazione. Lo staff è super disponibile ed il servizio è piuttosto veloce calcolando che il ristorante è sempre pieno (infatti ricordatevi sempre di prenotare in anticipo). *Menzione d’onore alla carbonara e al maritozzo

A nice Roman meal - Edit
A must try if you're curious to taste vegan versions of delicious Roman pastas. Unfortunately, the place is quite small and the service is not always great.

Piatti tipici ma vegani - Edit
Il ristorante offre piatti tipici veganizzati come carbonara, cacio e pepe e amatriciana. Ho apprezzato tanto tutto ciò che ho ordinato, anche se avrei preferito una carbonara più saporita. Suggerisco i moscardini veg e il tagliere di formaggi vegani.

Tiramisu to die for - Edit
Incredibly vast menu. Felt like genuine Italian food that had been veganized without compromising. We had pasta and pizza and tiramisu. Book in advance and come hungry!

5 Stelle non bastano - Edit
Sono vegana da anni, ma mai e dico mai ho mangiato cosi bene.
Read moreIl cibo era cosi simile ai reali sapori della cucina tradizionale che ero incredula, specialmente quando ho assaggiato la tagliata. Non ce davvero piu nessuna scusa per consumare prodotti animali, specialmente quando ci sono alternative cosi valide.
Un grazie di cuore a Rifugio Romano che si impegna a creare un mondo migliore 💚
Torneremo sicuramente nelle nostre prossime Vacanze Romane😍

Il miglior cibo vegano che io abbia mai mangiato - Edit
Personale super accogliente, simpatico e disponibile.
Read moreAbbiamo ordinato carbonara e lasagne alla zucca e salsiccia. Entrambe buonissime, ma la carbonara strepitosa. La vorrei mangiare tutti i giorni!
Come secondo abbiamo ordinato carne in 3d e seitan ai funghi porcini.
La carne in 3d così simile alla carne vera che quasi faceva impressione, quindi siamo state felici di provarla ma non so se la prenderemmo in futuro per una questione di somiglianza in sapore/odore/consistenza.
Seitan ai funghi porcini strepitoso!
Non vediamo l'ora di tornare a Roma per mangiare di nuovo al Rifugio ❤️

Gusti indimenticabili, prezzo adeguato - Edit
Avrei voluto dare 5 per l'emozione nel vedere il menù e la delizia nel mangiare... Purtroppo, forse per la ressa, personale può migliorare il servizio e i primi li ho trovati troppo salati (seppur squisiti)

Good but not Best - Edit
We reserved for a sunday table during a trip.
Read moreAs starter we chose mixed plate for 2 people and it was good: Hummus with Raw Veggies, Suppli&Arancino, Marinated Tofu, Fried Pizza Dumpling, Mayo. Then pasta; Spaghetti alla Carbonara (with Crispy vegan bacon, Black Pepper and Vegan Cheese on Top) Tonnarelli Cacio & Pepe (with homemade cream cheese, vegan pecorino cheese and black pepper (allergens: gluten, nuts, celery, mustard): in my special not so special as expected. Then we tried Protein crepes with spinach and vegan stracchino 3D printed vegetable meat and roasted potatoes: same like before. Instead dessert was superb, we loved Vegan Tiramisu. Hope to come back soon and change my rate.

They’ve got practically every traditional Italian dish you can think of made vegan! Amazingly creamy vegan carbonara! I highly recommend the arancini as well.

Well done - Edit
Rifugio Romano ristorante pizzeria
Read moreReservation only dining.
Great and reasonably quick service.
Nice dining atmosphere.
Celebrates birthdays.
Price: awesome
Order review:
Potato croquettes stuffed with mozzarella
(Simply good)
Bruschettone with Gorgonzola pumpkin and bacon
(Really nice appetizer)
_________
1st course:
-Ravioli with Gorgonzola and walnuts on carrot cream
(Not really worth 14 dollars to us, had a hard part/piece in one)
_________
2nd course:
-Cordon blue of seitan stuffed with barb chips
(Looks realistic, tastes pretty good, got more bread in most bites- mayo was good. Fries were iffy and a preferred taste to me.)
_______
Drinks:
-Sparkling water x2
-Coca Cola
_____
-Pizza broccolona vegan
(Best of the bunch, similar to a vegan pizzeria in hawaii but the crust has an Italian sweetness to it that you would have to be there to know)
____
Sides:
-French fries
(Good good)
____
Desert:
-tiramisu (never had tiramisu before but I enjoyed it)
-Nutella crepe (excellent, very tasty)
Price: 78,00
Final rating:
4/5 the high points were very good, but there can definitely be room for improvement. If it were me, I’d recommend a thinner crust on the cordon blue, rework the fries that came with that, maybe add more raviolis and/or ensure no hard parts and/or it could come with a side probably. Otherwise- great price for plenty of good food in the end. Very very good!
Pros: Service, Taste, Price
Cons: Hard piece on ravioli, Quality of cordon blue
