Best food we’ve ever eaten!

Words can’t describe how good this food was. Everything is homemade and made from scratch and you can taste the love in the food. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and when in Rome, this place is a MUST! Make reservations cause it’s always busy. The service was excellent and quite quick in terms of food service!

Pros: The food, The service, Everything!!

Out of this world

Totally vegan restaurant, all home made, all delicious. Can't believe how good the food is. Such a great variety of traditional Italian food. Owners and staff are really friendly and helpful. Definitely need to book as really popular.

Pros: Quality of food, Variety of food, Friendliness of staff

Cons: Don’t want to go home to a place without rifugios

Amazing food and vibe!

This was the best vegan place I tried in Rome. There was great fresh pasta, cannelloni and cheesecake.

Best Roman vegan dishes

Rifugio Romano is a small restaurant near the Termini Station. It serves you many dishes and I suggest to try the vegan traditional dishes such as Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe and Amatriciana!

Pros: Fully vegan, Traditional Roman dishes

Amazing

The startes, the main and the desserts are amazing. Everything tastes so good. You need a reservation here but it‘s totally worth it. The bruscetta is so good (with gorgonzola and tomato). Also the carbonara is amazing. Loved the strawberry tiramisu. 100/10

Absolut okay

The food was good but not overwhelming. Staff was okay. Everything was rather average in terms of quality. But the selection of vegan/vegetarian food is very good.

Pros: Vegan variety

Una certezza!

Tutto squisito!
Abbiamo preso:
- l'antipasto del Rifugio Vegan,
- le mezze maniche alla gricia,
- la tagliata di carne vegetale stampata in 3D.

Antipasto sfizioso, pasta ben cotta e carne vegetale stampata in 3D davvero interessante con la sua texture morbida e saporita.

Consigliato!

Everything was delicious!
We had:

the appetizer from Rifugio Vegan,

the mezze maniche alla gricia,

the 3D-printed plant-based steak.

Tasty appetizer, perfectly cooked pasta, and a really interesting 3D-printed plant-based meat with a soft and flavorful texture.

Highly recommended!

Pros: Staff gentile, Cibo buonissimo, Prezzi nella media

Super vegan restaurant but with some problems

The food choice is enormous from Italian tradition to some real avantguard dishes like 3d printed steak.
We found everything a bit too oily and not super good.
They give us quite hot red wine, and they let us lunch outside with a bit of rainy and a
Bit cold

Pros: Food choice , Price

Cons: Organization , Too oily

Fantastic experience

The place is cozy, the staff was friendly, and the food was amazing. We tried to have a bit of everything - pizza, pasta, a seitan dish, a traditional artichoke starter, vignarola - and everything was delicious. The desserts were great as well. Highly recommended.

Lugar simples e comida boa

Eu e minha esposa pedimos dois pratos, suficiente para nós! Sem entrada e sem mais outras opções! Preço ainda não posso avaliar, pois acabamos de chegar em Roma e viemos direto para cá!
Comida saborosa!

Pros: Porção , Sabor, Básico que funciona

Fantastic authentic Italian delicacies!

I wish I could eat here every day! The food is superb - so many amazing choices. When I last visited Rome a few years ago, Rifugio Romano was half vegan / half traditional. They were amazing before. But since then, they’ve gone fully vegan and elevated their menu in ways that astound! You can’t go wrong here. And if you don’t know what to choose from the plethora of choices, the helpful staff will guide you.

Pros: Quality food, Full of flavor , So many choices!

Best place we tried in rome

Great atmosphere and very friendly waitress service! The food was incredible and so much choice, we tried a few of the top rated places to eat in rome and this was by far the best. We thoroughly enjoyed it so we went back the next night. Can't wait to hopefully come back one day.

Amazing

We ordered Arancini balls to start, which were crunchy and delicious. Then I had the tonnarello pasta with asparagus, hazelnuts, and lemon sauce, which was unique, fresh, and flavoursome. We also had a side of green beans which was tangy and protein packed after days of pizza! The star of the show was definitely the chocolate pistachio cake, which I am still thinking about today as it was that good. All reasonably priced, tasty and served by friendly staff. 100% go if you get the chance!

Third time didnt meet the expectations as the other two

This was my third time at Rifiugio Romano over 5 years and I am so sad to say the level of food has decreased! The tiramisu wasnt really a tiramisu not sure how they changed the recipe. The pistachio cake instead was 5/5!

Ottimo molta scelta

Piatti abbondanti e prezzi onesti per una zona centrale di Roma. Molto comodo da Roma Termini. Meglio prenotare anche a pranzo, il locale è piccolo

Pros: Varietà dei piatti, Rapporto qualità prezzo

Authentic, hidden gem, non-touristy

We finally found a place with unique authenticity and a very well crafted menu. The location is excellent, it is just 2 minutes away from Rome Termini station. There are no tourists here, only locals. Menu items were far from the usual expectations of a typical Italian restaurant and we were delighted with the variety of dishes.

Pros: Fast service , Unique local menu , Great location, very convenient

Just a good base

If you go before 6:30pm you’re not able to order pasta and most of the menu as the chef is on break…
Otherwise, I got the margarita pizza and the dough was great but the “cheese” tasted like nothing.

Pros: All vegan, Decent pizza crust, Manageable prices

Cons: Tasteless cheese, Not great service, Can’t order pasta before 6:30pm…
