Lovely central and quick option - Edit
A great vegan place in and amongst the centre of historic Rome. A varied menu, with everything prepared quickly and to a good standard. The seating area was lovely inside, with outdoor options too. Great service in perfect English (very helpful for folk who cannot speak Italian well). Just what we needed to take a break from the heat!

Decent - Edit
The selection ranges from vegan takes on local dishes to the usual suspects, like buddha bowls and beyond meat burgers. The food was decent, but didn't stand out compared to other places I visited in Rome.

Excellent Pinza and great options - Edit
We visited Buddy VEGGY multiple times during our short stay in Rome. The staff were fabulous. There are so many options, including traditional Italian and Roma dishes. Would strongly recommend trying different dishes. Highly recommended

Everything a vegan wishes for in rome - Edit
Being in Italy as a vegan is not always easy. Mostly you can get bruschetta tomato oder grilled vegetables any restaurant you go to. Therefore it was nice to have different options for a change and to get the possibility to taste roman italian specialties as a vegan.
Read moreI‘d give it four starts for taste. It was really good though not perfect. But I‘d definitely recommend going there at least once!

Exceptional food - Edit
The food was truly delicious. Especially the Tiramisu was great. It was creamy, rich in flavor and wasn’t too sweet. I would definitely recommend this place if you are ever in rom (if you are near the Pantheon it is a must!!!)

STUNNING! - Edit
Super friendly staff, lovely location, the food was absolutely phenomenal, ordered so much more than we needed and everything was stunning, and tasted even better knowing animals didn't suffer for it. Also reasonably priced, only 14€ a pizza! 100% coming back, and recommending to anyone!!

Delicious vegan cuisine & central location! - Edit
Buddy’s is in the heart of Rome! Fantastic dishes, which were super refreshing on a hot midday. The service was extraordinary, and the restaurant had a very comfortable ambience.

That carbonara just made it into the top 5 best things I’ve ever eaten. I savored every single mouthful.

Ate every meal here - Edit
I had breakfast, lunch and dinner here because they had so much to offer, such a big variety of Italian food! It made me happy to be able to try tiramisu, pasta carbonara and pizza margherita. The breakfast is the best I've ever had in my life, and you get A LOT. I could visit Rome again for this place only!

Everything was delicious! - Edit
I can see why this is the top rated restaurant. We ordered pasta, pizza and a protein salad. All was fresh and delicious, especially the pasta. The sausage was sublime. Delicious spritzer too. Service was a little slow but the staff were super friendly. Reasonable price.

Poor service and average flavours - Edit
My daughter and I took the time and walked a long way to go to this restaurant as it is fully vegan. My main course arrived within a reasonable time but my daughter's food did not arrived for another 25 minutes. We had to ask at least twice. Moreover, the food wasn't that flavoursome. So disappointed.

Elegante ristorante con servizio alla clientela dinamico, gentilissimo e simpatico!
Read moreAmpia scelta nel menu.
Noi abbiamo provato le olive all’ascolana (divine!), la tagliata di seitan (deliziosa!), la pinsa boscaiola (squisita!) ed il tiramisù Oreo (eccezionale!).
Da farci un salto sicuramente quando si è in centro nei pressi del Colosseo/Fori Imperiali/piazza Venezia.

Delicious Food and Great Service - Edit
I had the pinsa with zucchini, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, and cream cheese instead of tomato sauce. It was absolutely delicious—the combination of flavors worked really well, and the crust was perfectly crispy.
Read moreI also tried the Cacio e Pepe, which was incredibly tasty as well. For dessert, I had a few spoonfuls of the tiramisu. It was good and definitely enjoyable, but I don’t think it was a traditional tiramisu. It was mostly layers of sweet cream, and I think there were Oreos in it. It tasted more like a cookies-and-cream dessert than a classic tiramisu, but it was still delicious.
The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit.
If you sit outside, it can get a bit noisy because of the nearby road. Inside, the air conditioning makes it feel a little cool, but not uncomfortably so. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily come back.
