Cosy comfort food - Edit
Delicious pasta, I has spaghetti with black pepper and truffle creamy sauce and a very reasonably priced glass of wine. Good sized portions and a warm atmosphere. Small establishment so booking is sensible.

Great mains, didn't enjoy the pudding - Edit
Fantastic resturant, delicious food with such a good selection of pastas and pizzas. The only thing was I didn't enjoy the pudding - found it pretty bland, and it was pretty expensive for what it was, if it hadn't been for that then I'd have given 5 stars.

Really great food but expensive - Edit
Managed to get a seat without a reservation but you may need to book.
Read moreWe had the Supplì Romani as a starter that was crispy, tomato(y) and paired really well with the mayo supplied.
For mains we tried the Ortolana pizza which if you like garlic is a must! Garlic base with cheesy, sausage and veg topping. This was really good.
We also had the Mezze Maniche alla Zozzona. The pasta was a little too al dente for my liking but the sauce was amazing.
It isn’t the cheapest place you will find but it is well worth a visit

10/10 A must visit - Edit
Couldn't recommend Sora Lella enough. After one visit it is possibly a new favourite. Restraunt is small but cosy with friendly staff. The food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be visiting again.

Absolutely amazing food! - Edit
This is a very cute and cozy restaurant that served vegan amazing food. For the main course, I had Gnocchi Salsiccia E Crema Tartufata and my husband had the Mezza Maniche alla Zozzona. Both dishes were full of flavor and had the perfect amount of sauce. 💯 out of 10 would eat here again and again!

Amazing - Edit
We had the fried bolognese as a starter, delicious! Our pizza with garlic base, although on the greasier side, was absolutely amazing. No vegan cheese which sticks to the gum, yum!

We stopped by on our first day in Edinburgh. We did a reservation in advance, which was clever, because the place filled very soon.

Our First Roman - Edit
I'm not one to rave about or push five star reviews at a drop of a hat, but I'm about to do that for Sora Lela Roman Vegan Restaurant in Edinburgh, so strap in.
Read moreThe restaurant itself is intimate, with most of the magic happening well out of view. A well stocked bar and desert cabinet takes centre stage at the back and is the first thing you see when you walk in.
We loved all the Roman "sayings" art that decorates the dining area and bathroom, particularly the sti cazzi one. 😂😂🎉🎉
To start I had a large glass of red wine and Peg had a pear juice, followed by Bruschetta Picante and Zoccolette Alla Sorrentina. I've been vegan for 19 years and I have NEVER tasted vegan cheese like that! The bruschetta was topped with nduja and blue cheese, a combination that was rich, with a little kick at the end. The pizza dumplings had a tomato and mozzarella sauce on them that would rival and indeed exceed any non-vegan version, with the parmesan shavings topping off the dish perfectly. We kept looking at each other as we dug in. We knew this whole meal was going to be special.
For mains we ordered the Mezze Maniche alla Carbonara and Gnocchi Salsiccia e Crema Tartufata. In English that's carbonara and cheesy gnocchi, but my GOD it wasn't the basic, flavourless nonsense you would expect had a British person cooked these dishes. They were absolutely SENSATIONAL. The carbonara tasted as if the sauce had been flavoured with their home made bacon fat and the black pepper cut through the creamy sauce beautifully. With the other dish, the sauce stuck to the ridges in the gnocchi and filled my mouth with delight. Truffle is such a delicate flavour and to pair that with a smokey sausage and make it work? *Chef's kiss.*
Desert is something I'm still thinking about on a daily basis: a traditional tiramisu served in a cappuccino mug and a white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. Incredible, delicious.....next level vegan cooking.
At the end we had a brandy old fashioned and an amaro Montenegro. (The brandy was me liking the look of a bottle in that well stocked bar and the member of staff was more than happy to oblige. )
Pros: Flavours (cheese magicians!), Knowledgeable staff, Variety
Cons: A little expensive , A bit tight to navigate around at times

Amazing vegan Italian food! - Edit
I really enjoyed my dinner at Sora Lella. The 4 cheese gnocchi dish was deliciously cheesy! I had the mozzarella stuffed rice balls and they were amazing, plus the hazelnut tart blew my mind. I only wish I had enough space to try the pizzas, as they looked amazing!
Read moreI thought it was good that everything on the menu was vegan, even, for example, the cheesy dishes and the meat feast pizza. And it had a really clear layout and clear allergen info.
Top job!

The truffle gnocchi was the best gnocchi dish I have ever had. Taste, presentation, temperature and abundance of flavour were all 10/10. Can’t wait to go back again.

A decadent treat - Edit
We had a great experience at this tiny Italian spot. I had one of the gnocchi options, my husband had the penne a la vodka. Of the two, the gnocchi was more memorable. We also shared a rocket salad which was the perfect balance for the heavy pasta dishes. I definitely recommend reservations!

Average at best - Edit
Wouldn‘t really recommend and can‘t understand the overwhelming reviews. My husband had the „quattro formaggi e funghi“, which was okay, but we already had two better pizzas in Edinburgh (one even in a non-vegan Restaurant). The spaghetti cacio e pepe was just bad to be onest. No taste of parmesan or cheese at all, just a creamy sauce like one you would by at a supermarket.

Delicious - Edit
The food is worth all the praise and hype given! Fresh, large portions, and great service. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was subpar. For the price I’d expect a classy vibe with mood lighting. Instead it’s more like an old diner that needs a paint job. Would order takeout, but not eat in again

Your average Italian - just vegan and overpriced - Edit
Noodles and tiramisu were nothing special, really. Most regular Italians will make better vegan pasta if you ask for it...
