Ma va'?

Ma Va was in a quieter, more authentically Italian area. The restaurant was full of locals and had a nice vibe. The menu appeared to be completely vegan and they also had it on their menu that their wines were vegan friendly too. My boyfriend and I shared a Mediterranean starter which was delicious, and each had a pasta dish. This, along with bread and a bottle of wine only came to around €50 which we thought was very good. The food was of a really high standard, although be aware that if you order their spaghetti with garlic oil and chilli they don't hold back on that garlic oil!

I've been living in Rome for the past 7 years, so "Ma Va" sounds very quite tongue in cheek to me. Nevertheless, this restaurant is interesting to me as it cooks traditional Roman dishes but vegan.

I went here with my partner to celebrate my birthday. The place looks cosy and definitely looks like any other Roman Trattoria. It was almost empty when we arrived at 8.30 but slowly filled up as the evening progressed.

The hosts were extremely polite and a few minutes after we’ve seated, We had starters of tempura di verdure miste and antipasto mediterraneo, mains of spezzatino di soia al latte di cocco and seitan alla vaccinara (which is an interesting twist of a classic roman dish) and desserts which amounted to about 50 euro for the both of us.

It was worth it! I loved everything that I ate that night. It was so good and flavourful, I would definitely go again! For more, feel free to visit my blog http://rinaz.net/2016/08/mava/

Outstanding vegan Italian food and wine. I went twice during my stay and was top of my list for dinner. Dishes are perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The cooking is innovative and uses fresh ingredients. I particularly enjoyed the fennel in tomato sauce (a seasonal special) and the pistaccio pesto pasta (from the regular menu).

My boyfriend and I reserved a table for the new year's 2015/2016 event, and we were both blown away. We had 9 courses, all vegan and classical Italian style dishes, served with white wine, red wine and bubbles for 55 €. The atmosphere was very cosy and the service was outstanding. I'd come back any time!
