Okay

I went here and they didn’t even know if there was anything vegan on their menu. When we asked they told me they could make a vegan risotto for me. It tasted good, but the experience was a little confusing for me because I was expecting labels on the menu as explained in the description.

vegan options visible in the menu

The restaurant is located in the middle of the beautiful old town of Rovinj. The staff was very friendly and answered all of our questions about vegan options. There is a list of 4-5 vegan meals in the menu. unfortunately they were not able to make alterations of the non-vegan meals, which is ok considering that they already have vegan options. I can recommand it.

Pros: vegan options in the menu, location of the restaurant, friendly and helpful staff

It was okay

We went here on our first night in Rovinj. Had the linguini with eggplant and tomato sauce. It was okay, nothing special and the portion size was quite small.

Pros: Nice ambiance, Flavorful dish

Cons: Portion size, Few options, No protein

Vegan menu

One of the few restaurants in Rovinj with vegan options—even a dedicated vegan menu.
The vegan polpetes aren't mind-blowing, but they're definitely okay. I'll go back there.

Separate vegan menu

Separate vegan menu. Only 3 options, we ate two which were really nice, especially the polpette.

Avocado zucchini dish was also really good.

Pros: Nice food, Clearly labelled vegan section

Atmosphere 5/5

Great atmosphere, especially when the sun goes down. Clearly labeled vegan menu and the dishes were really good. We had the aglio olio linguine, house salad and zuchinni & avocado salad and all were great. Will probably go eat there again today.

Clearly labelled vegan menu with delicious options

We were very pleasantly surprised to see a vegan section on their menu witch a few options. We got the garlic, oil and chilli pasta, eggplant tomato pasta, vegan polpettes and the avocado and zucchini salad. It was all delicious! We are so happy to find quality vegan options in Rovinj. We went for dinner and lunch.
We also recommend the gelato place next door which has vegan options labelled and was amazing!

Pros: Vegan menu

Best Italian in Rovinj?

Cosy outdoor seating in the heart of old town Rovinj and Italian cuisine. Friendly staff and a vegan menu with great dishes. I had both pastas and they were lovely. The avocado salad was amazing and so was the local wine. Menu also features other vegan dishes including a homemade mushroom patty/polpette burger. Go here by night for the ultimate in cosy Mediterranean dining. Cosy cocktail bars around the corner. You can also get gelato from the great Ombra next door instead of dessert and bring it to table - a lot of guests do this!

Pros: Pastas, Friendly staff, Vegan menu

Cons: No webpage and no reservations!
