Menu vegano muy amplio, con muchos platos de la tradicion italiana. Sabor muy rico y similar a los originales de la tradicion. No apto para los que no aman el sabor de fake meat. Reservar antes de ir.

best vegan options in Italy!!! - Edit
I wish i could give this place 5 stars but the app won’t let me!! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE FOOD, service, and atmosphere!! I have been living in Italy for 3 months and this was hands down the best vegan Italian food I have EVER had! I have been craving vegan pasta and other italian traditional dishes, but many places don’t have vegan options!! I came here with some of my friends and we all got appetizers, meals, and dessert. Our server, Amin, was the BEST and made this an amazing dining experience. This was truly one of the best experiences I have had in Italy yet. I wish the whole menu was vegan… BUT you still have to try!!! So many amazing options, all clearly labeled!!

Very Prejudice against Americans - Edit
First gonna say my husband is vegan and that is why we use this app. We made a reservation for this restaurant for the first night in Rome during our honeymoon. When we showed up, right off the bat the server snapped at my husband to move out of the way so he could close the door. My husband was waiting for people to move out of his way. It was unnecessary to be snapped at. Then the server acted like we weren’t on the list. We pointed to our names on the list. He told us he could either seat us outside or inside for only an hour. We’ve been in Italy 10 days already and know a reservation is not a timed event like that. That is how you treat walk-ups before reservations arrive. When we agreed to outdoors, he sat us clearly at the “walk up” table. No where near the heat lamps and very non-visible to the servers.
Read moreI went up to him and showed him our reservation confirmation email and asked to be moved. He asked me to hold on. Then proceeded to tell the gentleman behind me in Italian he could give him an indoor seat with no mention of a time limit- without a reservation. I guess the server didn’t realize I understood what just happened. So when he said he couldn’t move me, I pointed out he just gave a better table to a walk-in. He got flustered I understood what had just happened. Then he proceeded to try to guilt trip me because if he moved me it would make other reservations angry. It was our first night in Rome and so I stood firm that I wanted us moved closer to a heat lamp. He did point to a table and let us move ourselves. I didn’t take kindly to being guilt tripped considering I watched and they never used up all their tables and no one made an issue to him.
No one addressed us at all for over 35 minutes at the table before I called over our server and killed him with kindness to even get us water. Yes I know you are suppose to let them know when you are ready but I’ve never had someone ignore we might need water. Everything else went well enough. My husband’s food was undercooked but we didn’t even want to deal with it at that point. I’m giving a second star because the food runner girl was very nice and my appetizer was good.
The next English speaking walk-ups they had without a reservation he sat at our original table. This was before we got service. They still hadn’t had their order taken by the time we left so my inclination that we were being put there to be forgotten about was right on the money.
Pros: Starter meals good, Large vegan menu, Food service girl nice
Cons: Rude, Prejudice , Under cooked food

Loved this place! - Edit
Visited here in Nov 2019. I ordered the arancino with vegan cheese to start, then the chickpea omelette with veggies and potatoes, then the tiramisu for dessert. It was all delicious! The photos don't do it justice - they know what they're doing here. After a lot of travel and a couple days of pizza/pasta marinara, I so appreciated a big vegan menu with so many options. Also it was absolutely pouring outside, but we sat on the sidewalk under their little "tent" and it was so lovely. I can't wait to visit Rome again and go back!

Paradiso vegano, piatti della tradizione in in versione veg - Edit
Abbiano prenotato al Rifugio ancora prima di prenotare il treno per Roma, aspettative altissime che non sono state di certo deluse!
Read morePer poter assaggiare più piatti possibili abbiano prenotato sia a pranzo che a cena (conviene prenotare per tempo, soprattutto la per la sera).
Il format ci è piaciuto molto, è una cucina aperta e inclusiva, dove vegani e onnivori possono mangiare gomito a gomito gli stessi piatti.
Noi da vegani abbiamo preso:
Gricia veg, carbonara veg (pazzesca, assolutamente da provare), i saltimbocca alla vegana (mi ha fatto tornare in mente i piatti di mia nonna) e il pollo alla romana veg che ho scambiato per pollo vero per quanto era realistico. Per dolce abbiamo preso i profiteroles e il tiramisù, altrettanto buoni, specialmente la crema che farciva i bignè.
Lo consiglio e appena avrò modo di tornare a Roma proverò tutti gli altri piatti perché c'è davvero l'imbarazzo della scelta!!
Un grande applauso, bravi bravi.
Pros: Piatti tradizionali rivisitati in chiave vegetale, Menù vegano ampio e prezzi da trattoria, Opzioni per celiaci
Cons: Meglio prenotare in anticipo, locale piccolo

The Restaurant has a big selection of vegan dishes. I went there 3 times during my 5-day-vacation in rome. I can highly recommend the Vegan Arancino 😍 as a Entré. The Pizza Bomba Vegan (Quattro Formaggi) is very realistic to the Original. #Veganuary

La prima volta che ho mangiato il loro arancino ho pianto - Edit
Ho mangiato due volte da loro, la prima volta supplì e arancino da asporto e la seconda volta per pranzo al tavolo. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile, e cibo vabbè superlativo. Gricia e carbonara veg ottime, per non parlare dei dolci, non vedo l’ora di tornare per provare altri piatti! #Veganuary

Great discovery - Edit
Wide choice of vegan options inspired by traditional italian & rome dishes, with dedicated menu sections (starters, first courses, second, pizzas, desserts and even vegan wines!). Portions are generous and prices fair, average-low compared to other restaurants. We had a mushroom and chestnut risotto, and a mixed starters dish with fried supplì, arancini, marinated tofu and hummus. We were travelling and would go back for everyday trip meals. #Veganuary

Amazing - Edit
It was literally one year I'd been trying to go to this restaurant but every time something came up (I don't live in Rome anymore). What can I say? It was very good to eat a vegan carbonara and have dinner in a place with so many different choices! It is absolutely to try if you are in Rome!

Pizza mejorable... - Edit
Lo elegimos por las buenas valoraciones, pero no nos convenció...
Read moreMuchísimas opciones veganas. Pedimos 2 pizzas, bastante insípidas.
El camarero que nos atendió fue muy simpático, hablaba español por lo que no tuvimos ningún problema para comunicarnos. Fuimos sin reserva y nos hicieron sitio.
El restaurante estaba a tope y los camareros estaban bastante saturados.
Pros: Camarero muy simpático, Muchísimas opciones veganas
Cons: Pizza no muy buena..., Los camareros no daban abasto

Not welcoming for solo travelers. - Edit
Tonight is my last night in Rome. I wanted to experience one last taste of beautiful cuisine. So, I made my way from my hotel to Rifugio Romano.
Read moreRight from the first moment, I felt unwelcome. Largely ignored by the team, I loitered around trying to show them my EU COVID Vaccination Certificate and get them to nominate a table. Finally, after being asked 'only you?' multiple times by two different team members... despite tables being free I was told to wait on the footpath while a couple finished their meal at the footpath table they had decided to offer me. It was two tables over from an empty one. I would have at least liked to be given the QR code for the menu.
I'm stubborn though. It was bitterly cold and I wasn't keen to walk to another venue.
Eventually, the couple finished their meal and I sat down - relishing the opportunity to warm up thanks to being close to a gas burner.
After an awkward and aggressive ordering experience, I finally managed to get my hands on a pizza and drink.
The reason I give this 3 stars is the pizza and drink. If you have time and as determined as I am, the food is worth it.
There are some fantastic places to enjoy vegan food in Rome though. If you're traveling solo I recommend you consider your options before choosing this one.
This wasn't how I'd imagined the last night of my first visit to Italy to end.
Pros: Excellent food.
Cons: Might be some service issues for solo travelers.

Very good food - Edit
The amount of food that you are given is very big and the food in general is very good (we returned the next day). The prices are very reasonable and we will definitely come back in the future.
Read moreThe only bad this is the amount of tables they have. The quality is well known in the area and making a reservation is a must on weekends (otherwise you might get a table outside)
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great quality for the price, Very friendly staff that speak several languages
Cons: Not many tables (booking necessary sometimes)
