Vegan and Gluten free - Edit
It was all fantastic! The Enoki mushroom and the truffle tagliatelle were absolutely top notch, the canapé served at the beginning was also spectacular. The sushi was fantastic (we will be back for a sushi dinner), the pizza phenomenal being vegan and gluten free. The tomato is also very fresh and full of flavour. Great service, the guys are really nice and have a great energy. The place is very beautiful, modern, elegant and youthful!

Tried both their tasting and regular menu. Would recommend both! The cocktails are quite overpriced for what it is.

Coeliac heaven - Edit
I was very excited about visiting here & I wasn’t disappointed. The charcoal focaccia was the best bread I’ve had since being diagnosed as coeliac by far - even my gluten eating & bread loving husband was impressed. The risotto was divine and the tiramisu light & fluffy. Just wish we were in Milan longer so could visit again to try more items on the menu!

Pizza and desserts are amazing - Edit
A menu where I could choose absolutely everything. That was amazing. I really love the pizzas, even though I need to admit they are a bit smaller than normal pizzas. Also, the desserts, would definitely recommend them. The foccacia and the baba ganoush was okay, but not my preference. I visited twice. Please see pictures attached.

Very nice but expensive - Edit
Very nice menù, even though it’s a bit pricy for the quantity. I had very high expectations and it didn’t fully keep up with it unfortunately. Overall I would recommend it and try different dishes in the future.

ottimo il servizio, buono il rapporto qualità prezzo. Interessante il menù, che va dal sushi alle focacce a piatti rivisitati della cucina italiana. il mio preferito: le polpette al sugo!

Pretty good, can recommend! - Edit
Had a lovely dinner here. Ordered two kinds of sushi, the arancini, the involtini, the cashew and pepper gnocchi, the risotto, the carrot cake, and the tiramisu. It may sound like a lot for two people but it was actually an adequate amount of food given the dainty portions.
Read moreIt was obvious that a lot of thought was put into the food preparations. I really couldn't have told everything including the house bread was gluten-free had I not known coming in. What we had was mostly tasty, except for one of the sushis and the risotto, which I found a little bland.
I really liked the tableware and the general theme of the decor. Whoever did the interior design did a great job. On multiple occasions I saw people on the street stop to take pictures of the restaurant. Service was personable and friendly.
It for sure wasn't cheap at ~€130 all in, but we had a very nice time. If you're also gluten-free, this is a no-brainer. For me it's a 4.5 rounded up to a 5.
Pros: good food, tasteful decor, friendly service
Cons: price, portions

Truly amazing! - Edit
For the first time ever, we chose a tasting menu and our smiles grew with every dish. Simply amazing. The staff was very nice and accommodating despite our non-existent Italian skills. The background music added a happy note to the ambiance. What a great place to imagine a more sustainable future. I am really happy we went and I would recommend it to anyone.

BEST PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN - Edit
Not only it is 100% vegan, but even 100% gluten free. The food was incredibly delicious. Probably the best place I've ever been to. The gluten free bread, pizza and pasta were sooo good, and finally I had a gluten free pizza which wasn't flat, but soft and puffy. LOVED that so much. I really really recommend to try this place cause it's phenomenal. A big must try for vegan lovers and non vegan.💗 So glad places like these exist.

Lovely fine dining - Edit
A nice and affordable fine dining experience. We could eat there without a reservation (two people) and had the 7-course menu for 75€ each. The food was tasty and the staff were polite and professional. Also the music was very nice and contributed to the comfortable atmosphere.

Menù degustazione - Edit
Sono stata da Linfa per provare questo menù degustazione composto da 6 portate.
Read moreMenù molto gustoso e interessante, tra un piatto e l'altro c'è stata un po' di attesa, però comunque un menù veramente buono che non vi farà uscire con la fame. Ho apprezzato moltissimo il risotto al rabarbaro, il seitan con il tartufo e tutte le creme di fake formaggio che accompagnavano i vari piatti.
65€ (menù degustazione senza vini abbinati).

An explosion of creativity and flavours - Edit
I went to Linfa with a non-vegan friend and we both enjoyed it the same. We had the 6 courses tasting menu with wine pairing and every dish was better than the next. Absolutely fantastic food from beginning to end. A twist to Italian food as we know it. Excellent service too.

CLOSED UNTIL AUGUST 20TH - Edit
We reserved a table at Linfa multiple months in advance and we were very much looking forward to trying out the set menu, but when we got there we found out it’s not even open! It’s totally fine to take a vacation, of course, but the least they could have done was notify us when we made our reservation. Instead we were left starving out in the suburbs of Milan… At least there were many other vegan alternatives in the area!
