Amazing

Definitely the best vegan restaurant in Bologna. It goes beyond the usual burger and bowl, tho they have them and are good, and they offer typical Italian dishes. Everything is very curated and the flavor profiles are on point. Can get crowded and noisy, so service can be a bit slow, but nothing major.

Pros: Excellent food all vegan, Many options , Great location

Excellent.

I strongly recommend the trianguli verdi, an exceptional combination of tastes. I tried the creme brullê dessert, which was quite nice. The staff were very friendly.

Pros: Vegan menu, Variety of exquisite dishes, Very kind staff

Semplicemente PERFETTO!

Semplicemente perfetto. È IL ristorante vegano per eccellenza. Ogni volta che torno a Bologna la tappa è d'obbligo, cerco sempre di scegliere una proposta diversa e ogni volta mi stupisco di quanto sia tutto buonissimo. Menù ampio e variegato per ogni tipo di esigenza. Il tutto condito da gentilezza e dolcezza dello staff. Bravi bravi bravi!

Pros: Vasta scelta di piatti veg, Cura nel gusto e nella ricerca degli ingredienti, Staff perfetto

Fantastisch!

Fantastisch! Wunderbares Restaurant im Herzen Bolognas. Einfach zu finden, freundliche Bedienungen die Teilweise Englisch sprechen. Die Karte ist klein aber fein, sowohl Hauptspeisen als auch Dessert haben wunderbar geschmeckt. Entweder gleich zu beginn der Öffnungszeiten erscheinen oder Reservieren, da es ein eher kleines Restaurant ist.

Pros: Innovative Gerichte, Schönes Ambiente

delicious food, great prices, good service

I had the parmagiana and I was delicious. My friend had falafel, which was also good. it was her first vegan meal and she was impressed by the parmagiana. We had dessert, which was also delicious. The staff was very friendly. After paying California prices for vegan food for years, I was surprised how low our bill was.

Pros: delicious food, great prices, friendly staff

Not again

We had the Budda Bowl and the Lasagne; both very good. I had a look at the other tables, and the plates looked very good.
Nice location in the city center. Prices are okay.

But…. The drinks… I saw more or less only flavored water on the menu. Anyway, the staff is very unfriendly (or arrogant); we arrived a little bit earlier, and as we asked if it might be possible to take a seat outside before the restaurant opens, the answer was very rude. Another staff member asked us if we are aware that this is a vegan restaurant (Yes…).

Maybe the folks received too many positive ratings.

Pros: Tasty food

Cons: Very unfriendly

A little flavourless

I thought the food was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. I had the gnocchettini and my boyfriend had the Triangoli verdi and both lacked in salt. The desserts however were delicious.

Pros: Great desserts

Cons: Expensive, Could be more flavour

Ottimo ed elegante

Dopo il lockdown ha rinnovato il menù in modo da venire più incontro ai gusti popolare, i prezzi leggermente abbassati rispetto a prima. È un posto in pieno centro, elegante e raffinato, ovviamente costa un po', ma merita alla grande! Lo consiglio a tutti!!!

Pros: Tutto vegan

Vegan power in Bologna!!

The "Hugo" aperitivo was really good. Same goes for the "Natural Spritz", just the way it should be. Main dish was surely ok. We had "Green triangles" & "Parmigiana". Servings were not that huge though. Oh well, more space for the desert. The "Sweet of the day" was muffin, tasty and great presentation. Also the "Mascarponcino" tasted great. Location is top as well: right in the city center. Coffee: ok, nothing special.

Pros: Sweet vegan food. price/quality, Price/quality ok, Helpful staff

Cons: Servings on the low side

Main course disappointing

It’s a very nice place with great service, good location and nice ambiance. I ordered the green gnocchi and was quite disappointed, especially considering pretty high price. The dumplings were well done - tender and not too heavy, but the sauce and garnish had no taste at all. Wine, coffee and desert (“mascarpone” thingy) were delicious though!

Pros: Desert, Wine, Service

Cons: Prices , Tasteless main dish

super restaurant directly in the city center

I enjoyed lunch in the restaurant. I really loved the gnocchi with a little side salad. The staff was super friendly and the food came quick. Good restaurant when you want to have a solid meal in the city center.

Food didn't meet our high expectations

We had a nice dinner at Botanica Lab but perhaps our expectations were too high as the prices were a bit higher and they presented their food as fusion on their website. The meals that we had did not really stand out but I guess there's nothing to go wrong with the buddha bowl we had. Baked potatoes were not very fresh, tasted like they had been made a day before and just heated up. My favourite italian dish: Melanzane parmiggiana were kind of dry and had very little tomato sauce. I have been making them at home in vegan version for years and with my fiancé we agreed that mine were better 😅. I would probably go again for the desserts. Both fruit cheesecake and masarponcino were outstanding! 💜

Updated from previous review on 2021-06-27

Pros: excellent desserts, nice vibe of a tiny street off the beaten track, gluten free friendly

Cons: meals not so tasty and definitely not fusion

Non male però il servizio è pessimo

I primi come la parmigiana di melanzane e i triangoli verdi sono davvero buoni e gustosi, gli antipasti invece non ci sono proprio piaciuti. Il servizio pessimo. Calici di vino dimenticati, acqua frizzante invece della naturale richiesta. Alla domanda “qual è il dolce del giorno” che ovviamente era sul menu, la ragazza prima è andata in confusione, poi si è messa a ridere rispondendoci “ah no bo oggi mi sa che non c’è”. “Ok e quella al cioccolato cos’ha?” “Eh non lo so credo solo cioccolato”. Insomma molto preparati!

Fine Dining

This is indeed a vegan fine dining Restaurant not far from Piazza Maggiore in the very centre of Bologna.
The Design is quite stylish.
The staff was friendly, helpful and spoke english.
There was a small complimentary Soup (black lentils) in the Beginning which tasted really Good and was rich and creamy.
I had Ravioli with 'Ricotta', Cashew and Black Truffle in Olive Oil and Sage as well as a Chocolate Cheesecake.
The presentation was nice and it tasted Great.
The Portions were not big but filling enough and I left Happy, nourished and satisfied.
It is a little pricey to be honest- but the atmosphere and food are worth it.

Pros: Unusual, Creative, delicious Dishes, Fine Dining Atmosphere, Friendly english speaking Staff

Cons: A little Pricey

Awesome vegan Italian food

I only had time to come here once, so I tried a few things. Homemade pasta was great as a starter, then parmigiana as a second plate and a nice dessert. Cheesecake with either chocolate or fruits. I had the chocolate one, which I loved.
Very busy at lunch time! Try and reserve a table beforehand.

Pros: Fully vegan restaurant , Lots of typical Italian food, Nice interior
