What a lucky find! - Edit
My daughter and I were leaving the Vatican tour, out the back bus entrance, and stumbled on Ecru - totally unexpected. The atmosphere was cozy, the menu was very complete, and the food was outstanding.
Read moreI don't recommend this next part but we stayed well past closing time (didn't actually see the hours posted on the door, since the door was propped open). The owner was so kind and accommodating even though we were there nearly an hour after official "close!"
Hummus/falafel dish was ouststanding, the cheese plate was full of incredible flavors, and the desserts (Sacher Torte and Brownie) were fantastic. Hope to visit again!
Pros: Neat cafe with many options, 100% plant-based foods, so you don't even have to , Wine selection!!

Beautiful food in a peaceful atmosphere. - Edit
We ate here twice on a recent visit to Rome: once for dinner and once for lunch.
Read moreWe had dinner on a Saturday night and the restaurant was pretty much full (it has about seven tables). We had amazing sushi, pumpkin noodles and pea hoummous with sprouts and other salad. The food was delicious, clean and surprisingly filling! We did find room to share a small and very tasty dessert. We drank an amazing Italian organic red wine.
For lunch we had their incredible spinach and avocado soup (served warm) and the noodles again with rocket pesto.
The food here is all vegan.
The staff are really helpful: some do speak English but they will also tolerate attempts at Italian.
Ecru is within walking distance from the Vatican and Castel Sant'Angelo. There are bus stops nearby.
Pros: All vegan, Great wine and beer list, Lovely staff
Cons: Only open for dinner on Friday & Sat
