Yum! - Edit
The food here is amazing. Make sure to specify that you are vegan and they will be able to cook something up for you. Very veg forward of course but a real treat. We got a risotto dish with mushrooms last time we were there and it was so creamy even though it didn’t have dairy. They know what they’re doing!

Good vegetables - Edit
Wish there were more vegan and gluten-free options. The little they do have is good, though. And it's great to have a vegetarian place inside Eataly!

ONE STAR- NOT A VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT - Edit
I tried to eat here last night but as it turns out it is not a vegetarian restaurant but a vegetarian inspired. My words not theirs. The cheeses contain ANIMAL RENNET.
Read moreThe waiter at the bar was exceptionally rude and put off when I asked about the cheese (as in how dare you question our vegetarianism) and had to slink back relay the truth.
This is what has happened in other restaurants I have found on happy cow before. I have an alpha-galactose allergy. This means I am severely allergic to a sugar found in mammal fat (as in anaphylaxis allergic). It frustrates me when the restaurant says they are vegetarian, have products with animal ingredients and get irritated when I inquire.
I left and went elsewhere since I do not have patience for restaurants declaring they are something they are not and my only real option was grilled bitter greens and that sounds pretty gross. It states in the description that dishes can be made vegan upon request. That was not my experience.
Cons: Not vegetarian, crowded, rude staff

Great - Edit
This place is awesome. It is within Eataly, so it is a bit noisy. Perfect lunch spot with the menu always changing and always great!

Bring a Date - Edit
This is a really lively place. It's one veg eatery among a large number of Non-veg Italian eateries. It's a very New York kind of place. Selection of dishes is not huge but everything looks great. I had the polenta and mushrooms. Really nice variety of mushrooms, polenta just right, tasty light sauce. Really enjoyed the meal. Service great; nice atmosphere. Entrees around $18, so I might rate this $$$ rather than $$. But I think a good value.
Read morePros: gourmet food, lively manhattan ambiance, friendly service
Cons: slightly above my usual budget
