Best meal in Rome - Edit
I definitely recommend getting a reservation; we were able to skip the long line even though we showed up 15 minutes early for our 8 pm reservation. Definitely specify you are ordering the vegan version of a meal because they brought me a mozzarella/salami pizza instead of the vegan one at first. We got the arancini appetizer and it was phenomenal. 2 arancini is plenty for 2 people. The vegan tiramisu was outstanding and I highly recommend it. We got a complimentary amaro at the end of the meal which was nice. We spent about 2.5 hours here and had a great time. The wine selection was nice and so was the atmosphere. We decided this is our favorite restaurant in Rome and hope to be back in the future. Would give it 5 stars if I could!

Disappointing - Edit
Despite lots of vegan options the food I ordered was unfortunately terrible. The vegan pizza was burnt, tasteless and unimpressive for the price and long wait. The best thing about the meal was the Prosecco.

Disappointed - Edit
I’m giving 3 stars instead of 2 for having soooo many vegan options. BUT the food tasted like cardboard and the service was terrible. I ordered a vegan salad, a vegan bomba pizza and bruschetta, my friend ordered (non vegan) clams, and we both had a dessert with Nutella. ALL of the food was pretty tasteless :-/ we were both very disappointed. It took over 20 min just for the salad to come out, and i asked for the bill when we ordered dessert. Took 30 min to bring me the bill, which i had to ask for 4 times. Overall 2.5 stars

Would give 5 star if possible! - Edit
I have already left a review on trip advisor after our visit 2 years ago, I have found myself in Rome for a second time for 4 days I am 2 days in and have already eaten here three times with my vegan partner and our non vegan friends. I cannot rate this place enough it’s 100% my favourite restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing so hats off to the chef. The staff are all really great they can’t do enough for you and are always friendly and helpful. The menu is really big and if I had enough time I would try everything!!!!

Great food, average service - Edit
The food was amazing but it got busy very quickly and the small number of staff were run off their feet. Service took ages every time we wanted to ask for the next thing. We had to ask for the check 5 times and wait over half an hour! However it’s well worth it for the food, with too many vegan options to choose from and it’s all well labelled
Read morePros: Great and varied food, Not bad price for quality

Tons of vegan items - Edit
The restaurant is located within walking distance of The main Termini station in Rome. They have an extensive vegan menu and the food was excellent. Sit outside if you can. By the time we left there was a line up, so suggest you either arrive early or make a reservation. I would definitely eat there again.

Great place near the Modern Art Gallery - Edit
Great extensive menu with a vegan menu included inside - I had the gnocchi in walnut sauce and it was great. They also have loads of vegan starters (aranchini, bruschetta, etc.) and everything is written in Italian and English which makes negotiating it a little easier!

Amazing! - Edit
So many amazing vegan options, it really makes you feel like you’re not missing out on the culture - would definitely visit again, can’t wait to try more things on the menu. Would rather get the carbonara or a pasta dish again than the vegan pizza.

I love this place. All of the food was fantastic and the staff are really friendly even recommending bars to us. Wasn't a huge fan of the tempeh but my boyfriend liked it. Everything else was 5*!

First time lucky - Edit
My husband and I are both vegan, we arrived in Rome from a wedding in Tuscany around 6pm, checked into our accommodation and saw that this restaurant was very close to where we were staying and saw that it offered traditional roman food - veganised of course! So impressed with the variety of vegan options, we have come back 3 days in a row!!! The vegan tiramisu is heaven!!!! Come early or book or prepare to queue out the door!!! X

Best traditional Italian food I've tasted - Edit
We ate here 3 times out of the 4 days we were in Rome, so I'm sure you can already see how much we loved it. The pizza (get the pizza bomba I think it was called - four cheese with seitan and sausage - so good!) and lasagna are amazing. Appetizers are great too. I had my first ever tiramisu here and it was one of the best desserts I have ever tasted. Wish we could have tried more. The mains costed about 10 euros and had good portion sizes. Only downside might be that you need to get the attention of the waiter if you don't want to wait too long. However on our last night we had a really great waiter who offered us a free limoncello shot! Wonderful experience overall and I hope to come back.

A very large choice for Vegan. I had a tomato bruschetta and a calzone pizza, both very tasty. The price was very reasonable... Might go back tonight as I want to taste other dishes.

5/5 stars. best vegan Italian food I've ever had! - Edit
Went there twice on a three day trip to Rome!
Read moreIt was seriously the best vegan Italian food I have ever had in my entire life and I would go back to Rome only for that food, tbh :D
All in all I had two kinds of pizzas, the lasagne, carbonara, mixed bruschetta plate and tiramisu. Seriously, go there. You won't be disappointed!
It's best if you go before 8 pm or you might have to wait for a table!
Pros: best Italian food EVER, good value, the Tiramisu... omg. so. gooood.
Cons: the waiters can be grumpy, that's Italy for ya ;), might need to wait for table after 8 pm

best vegan pasta in rome - Edit
SO many vegan options - half of their menu is vegan and most of their desserts are. staff are lovely, welcoming and happy to answer any questions. we came to rome expecting to try a different restaurant every night, but after eating there once we couldn’t resist going back! we ate their 3 nights in a row and found that most people there were vegan too. nice outside seating area and also great to bring non vegans as there’s something for everyone.

Great choice of food - Edit
My husband and I enjoyed a 3 course meal here tonight and it was all fabulous. I had lasagne and he had the no meat balls and for dessert we had tiramisu and a cream and berry mix. The service was also really good. We have booked to go back there when we return to Rome next week.

Amazing vegan options - Edit
Went to this place twice during my recent time in Rome. They offer a wide selection of vegan meals for reasonable prices. The first time I had the vegan carbonara which was alright and the second time I had a gnocchi which was amazing. For the dessert I had a vegan tiramisu the first time which was good and a vegan cheesecake which was the cake of the day that was AMAZING.

They have a separate vegan menu that is several pages long. I appreciate the great variety. We came here two days in a row for dinner (it’s that good) and have enjoyed all that we ordered.
