Great Contemporary Whole-Plant-Based Restaurant - Edit
Beautiful restaurant, contemporary but cosy ambience inside a beautiful old building with very comfy seating inside and attractive pavement seating outside. Situated in pretty pedestrian walk-through lane a minutes from the main square of Piazza Maggiore.
Menu was in Italian but staff explained in detail what was in each dish, pus English version is on their website.
Food was all really delicious, we had lunch of 2 Buddha Bowls, Quinoa Cous Cous and Rice Paper Vegetable
Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Dip followed by Chocolate Banana Cheesecake. Highly recommended - going back for dinner tonight :)
According to certificates on the wall, the chef has trained at a Californian Plant Based culinary school, so the food is delicious and nutrient-dense. Highly recommended.
Dinner update: all really good (Quinoa Burger, Buckwheat Pancakes w. Purple Potato) but the Buckwheat Walnut Apricot Tarte appetiser was amazing!
Definitely has Wow! Factor :)
Pros: Food! (Taste, presentation & nutritional value), Decor, Staff
Cons: Fills quickly at lunch time, Need to book for an outside table in evening as it

vegan dishes bursting with flavors! - Edit
Lovely restaurant on a small street in the center with excellent vegan dishes. The ravioli with "ricotta" is amazing as is the cheesecake with fruit topping. The wine is local, bio and fantastic. The staff is so kind and helpful.
Pros: excellent food, lots of options, friendly staff

charming place - Edit
We got some food to go - a burger, risotto, and two desserts. The entrees were very light on the salt which was confusing at first but really grew on me. The desserts, which were sort of cheesecake like, were fantastic. Host was very helpful.

Great experience - Edit
I went here few days ago and had a good experience. It's a tiny space, cute and friendly, with a high level raw food specialties.
I ordered a healthy pureed pea and mint soup with seeds, falafel with vegetables and spicy sauce, tasteful vegan spring rolls with leek sprouts, and a fabulous chocolate cake.
I loved this place and I'm exited to try more.
Pros: excellent food quality, helpful staff, reasonably priced
Cons: opening hours
