Amazing!

We had lunch at Ecru and it was so amazing and delicious! The restaurant decor is beautiful. The location was so convenient. The staff was lovely. The komucha, milkshakes and sushi were so delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Raw vegan delight!

Great Experience

Located near to the Vatican, this raw food restaurant shouldn't be missed. We ordered the Miso soup for starters followed by Vegan sushi and a burger/sandwich. All of the food was fresh and bursting with flavour. There are a variety of desserts on offer both on the fixed menu and some which vary from day to day. The Almond Granita shouldn't be missed. The staff are very friendly and the prices are reasonable.
I highly recommend.

Nice food, small portion

I ordered the vegan sushi plate with seaweed, which was delicious even though the seaweed was a bit on the salty side. The hazelnut smoothie was also delicious.

The staff was polite but wasn't super attentive. The portion was pretty small.

Disappointing

The food is fresh and carefully prepared. We had the cheese and cracker appetizer. As main dishes we had the carrot noodles with arugula pesto and the vegan burger. Unfortunately, we didn’t find the dishes to be very tasty. If you really like raw food, you’ll probably like the restaurant. If you’re not a raw food devotee, you might want to try somewhere else.

Great discovery

This was a great chance discovery. The first visit we really only wanted a snack and shared a dish with a glass of fabulous prosecco. Second time we had a full meal. Quality and presentation was great. Really good value

phenomenal! raw food at its finest

This place. I mean, THIS place! I don’t know where to start and how to start. When planning our trip to Rome, this was a must visit place for us. I didn’t know what to expect but I most definitely dis not expect this. Ecru is a raw food experience on highest levels. There is a lot of knowledge, ideas and passion behind the dishes. The portions are real meaning, not a tiny piece of food on a big fancy plate, just to try it but actual real portions. Everything we had was “Im licking my fingers and then the plate” delicious. We are going back tomorrow, on our last day in Rome and I would visit Rome again just to have this amazing food again.

Great raw food!

The food was fantastic and the staff was friendly! The appetizer with cheese and crackers was so great with a wonderful assortment of different vegan cheeses to try with great homemade crackers, all raw. A little picky but definitely worth the value when it comes to exquisite raw vegan & all organic food that they make behind the counter for you to witness the process 👍🏻

Worth the walk !!!

Amazing sublime vegan food, we where amazed by the variety of the menu and we have made it our breakfast lunch and dinner venue. The salads are simply gorgeous - rocket salad, caramelised walnuts, red onions, hemp seeds and the most subtle balsamic vinegar make this salad perfect in its simplicity yet with complex flavours coming alive in your mouth on every bite, this is from another world... The avocado tartar with Sicilian papaya thyme and papaya pepper is just incredible - The vegan burger with home made raw mustard fermented cabbage cream and salad is awesome.
The price for the work that goes in to every plate is just so inexpensive.

Excellent food and wine

I went there with a non-vegan friend and I was a bit concerned that the concept could be a bit too "extreme" for non-vegans. In the end we both loved the food and wine.

Nice restaurant, reasonable service, very good location.

Pros: Food, Wine, Location

Cons: Service Ok but not very enthusiastic

Well-decorated raw food restaurant

I experienced number 14 raw burger. Half piece was good but too much another one for one person. The restaurant is very small, has good atmosphere but the staff was so colorless, not friendly.

Pros: Near Ponte Sant'Angelo, Well-decorated

Cons: Expensive, Huge Portions

I could eat here for every meal

We were only in Rome for a couple days. Ecru was the closest vegan restaurant to our B&B, and my were we lucky. We tried it for lunch and it was so good that we popped back in late that night for dessert. We met a couple at the table next to us and had the loveliest conversations. Like minds sharing like foods.

Pros: Amazing raw, gluten free food, Cute, cozy place with friendly people , A wide variety
