Incredible food - Edit
This place is a must for any vegans in Venice. I searched for hours for a good vegan lunch, but most restaurants have very few (and not necessarily appealing) options. This lowered my expectations quite a bit, and eventually I was so hungry I didn’t care if I found a great meal, just something edible. When I finally happened upon this restaurant, I couldn’t believe they had a fully vegan menu! Not only that, but the food was absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting and staff very nice. Perhaps a little pricey, but definitely worth it for the exquisite vegan dishes. Definitely a priority to visit as a vegan!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had - Edit
We are celebrating our 50th anniversary and wanted a special meal. Da Mario met and wildly exceeded our expectations. We are vegan and they have a special menu. Each course was mouthwatering. I look forward to going back.

Great vegan tasting menu but pricey and very slow service - Edit
Many and varied vegan options. Had the vegan tasting menu (for 77 euros without drinks) where you can choose one starter, one first course, one second course and one dessert - would advise the bresaola parcels for starter, the trofie pasta for first course, both second courses (beetroot fillet and selection of cheeses) and desserts (mille-feuille and ice cream) I tried were very good and on the same level.
Read moreThe service was friendly but extremely slow, I stayed at least 2h inside the restaurant.

Vegan options for all courses - Edit
Unlike most restaurants which offer vegan primi (ie pasta) and maybe a vegan bruschetta starter, this place has a full vegan menu even with vegan secondi and desserts. I had the stuffed courgette flowers and the pea trofie which were both delicious. The staff are lovely and gave us a shot of gazpacho with tempura courgette to start and a limoncello digestivo to finish. A little on the pricy side though.

Great in Venice - Edit
With so few options in Venice for vegans this one really stands out. They have a separate vegan menu. With lots of choices. There is a tasting menu option also but that is just an option to choose several dishes from the menu for some discount. Even for dessert you have 3 options. The food looked great. Elegant place. They also have good house wine. But the food lacked much in taste. If it wasn't in Venice I might have given 2 stars.

Extensive vegan menu, alright food - Edit
This restaurant offers a separate vegan menu with 3 options in each category, which makes it one of the richest vegan menus I've seen in Venice. You can also create your own 4 course tasting menu from the vegan selections. Prices are high, but expected in Venice. The food was a bit underwhelming though. Given how nice the restaurant looks, I had hoped for higher quality.

Delicious!! - Edit
This place was so good! Full vegan section. We went with our non vegan friends and we all ate really well. My husband and I are vegan and we didn’t feel like we missed out on anything. The vegan options were delicious and had just as much variety and thought as the none vegan menu.

Feines veganes Menü - Edit
Wir zwei haben das Restaurant gewählt, weil sie eine extra vegane Menükarte anbieten. Das Menü mit 4 Gängen kostet 75 Euro. Meine gewählte Vorspeise, Gemüse in Tempura mit Guacamole war gut, aber etwas zu fettig. Daher nicht alles gegessen. Die gefüllten Zucchini mit Tomatensauce hingegen waren sehr lecker. Als Hauptspeise gab es Lasagne mit Pilzen und Radicchio und Spaghetti mit Brokkoli und getrockneten Tomaten. Beides ausgezeichnet 😋
Read moreDer nächste Gang war Rote Beete wie Beet Wellington, und Gulasch mit Sojaschnetzeln. Auch beides fantastisch 😊
Zum Dessert haben wir Champagnersorbet mit Crumble und Erdbeersauce gewählt. Ein sehr guter Abschluss. Wir haben hier gern gespeist und sind voll auf unsere Kosten gekommen.
Pros: Separates veganes Menü, Sehr schmackhaft , Super freundliche Bedienung

Vegan Menue made in heaven - Edit
The restaurant offers a vegan 4-course-Menue. You can choose from up to four dishes per course. The food was exceptional. Staff is very friendly and the ambience is typical Italian. This restaurant offers for over 10 years a vegan menu. Meat and fish is also available.

Best I've ever had - Edit
The food here was a 5*, however, not being a full vegan restaurant. I can't. Sooooooo. The menu was really good and the food was outstanding. I have eaten great vegan options before. But, when a restaurant isn't a specialist in vegan and produces this. It's amazing. I really can't recommend it enough. The staff were also incredibly friendly.

Great Experience - Edit
Full vegan menu with option for a tasting menu in Italian and English. Food was superb, and you get a complimentary vegan caprese for the first course, complimentary bread, and end with complimentary limoncello. As other reviewers have said it is pricy with smaller portions, but seemed reasonable for the quality, especially if you are familiar with tasting menu style restaurants. I will say my omni husband had WAY bigger portions, but he also paid more (omni menu is Ala carte only). Would recommend for a special dinner in Venice!

We loved the garden area. Be athletic if you want to use the bathroom. The potties are nearly on the ground! Friendly staff. The fried courgette was pretty and tasty. Great eggplant main. Lovely time.
