Incredible dinner! - Edit
I had the Caesar salad, and it was one of the best I've ever had - such a generous portion that it was my whole meal, with the most realistic take chicken... I am coming again tomorrow to get it again, it was *that* good! And it felt like their prices were really reasonable for amazing quality.

Extensive innovative vegan menu - Edit
The menu is extensive and everything looks delicious. The food is very tasty and the restaurant offers a great culinary experience. I would prefer slightly less deep fried ingredients in a few plates. The staff is polite. It is a standard place to visit and enjoy nice vegan food.

Excellent vegan restaurant! - Edit
Delicious meal - excellent range of all-vegan options, fresh ingredients and good quality. Nice restaurant setting and good vibe. We had the broccoli pasta and artichoke tortellini, vegan steak and Caesar salad - all were excellent. Best meal we’ve had in the past week travelling around Italy. Book if you can - we went on a Saturday lunchtime and waited c.15 mins for a table, dinner slots were fully booked.

Unfassbar leckeres Essen! Tolles, super schönes Restaurant, sehr nette Bedienung. Ich hatte die Vorspeise mit roter Beete und Erdbeeren, dann die Pasta mit Brokkoli, mein Bruder hatte die Pilze auf Polenta mit topinambur. Das beste Essen, was ich auf dieser Reise hatte!

Good dinner - Edit
I had the ‘green triangles with artichoke’ and the polenta dish as a main. The green triangles have so much potential but they were a little under salted for my taste. The polenta dish was good, I especially enjoyed the celeriac. I also had a taste of the ‘Nido’ side dish and it was super tasty. For dessert, we shared one mascarpone and a tarte tatin. The mascarpone was alright, not very strong in flavour, and the tarte tatin was amazing! I’d definitely recommend booking a table online ahead of time.

Make a reservation - Edit
Visiting from Florida and I have been vegan 12 years. I was super excited to experience traditional food from bologna. Highly recommend you make a reservation ahead of time. The tables are tight inside and also have seating outside. The staff was very friendly and menu had a nice selection. We both got different things and tried. The portions were a bit smaller for the price and the flavors were great. Highly suggest the sweet potato app and the "steak " dish. The dessert was nice.

You MUST eat here! - Edit
My only regret is waiting so long into my trip to try Botanica. Everything on the menu was absolutely exceptional. It was creative, beautifully balanced, and prepared with real artistry.
Read moreDo not skip the cannoli; it had some of the most unique and memorable flavors of our entire visit. The steak was perfection, served over a delicate layer of thinly sliced potatoes with incredible sauces that tied everything together. For dessert, we shared the strudel, which was crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, and filled with the most delicious fruit. It was truly the best strudel I’ve ever had, hands down.
The atmosphere was gorgeous, warm, and welcoming. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish.
A must-visit.
Pros: Cannoli , Varied unique dishes, Amazing atmosphere
Cons: You have to have a reservation- but I can see why!

Carinissimi e tutto buono - Edit
Intanto ci hanno fatti sedere alle due e mezza passate, quindi servizio top.
Read morePiatti buoni, non consiglio particolarmente le verdure "non fritte", un po' moscette. Spatzly e ravioli molto buoni. Il filetto somiglia più allo stinco di maiale, comunque ottimo.
Prezzi non bassi ma comprensibile dietro a Piazza maggiore.
Pros: Good food, Kind service
Cons: Pricey

The restaurant is always full with locals for lunch and dinner for I guess it is quite popular. All the dishes look delicious and well presented. I was amazed by the amount of waiters serving tables. Plates are elaborated and creative.

This location is truly beautiful and the inside was so chic and lovely. It made for a perfect pairing with the most delicious summer menu. The corn spread was delectable, the pesto was so creamy and each dish had such a unique flavor from the other. So thrilled that Bologna has such a fantastic place that is vegan - yay.
