It was nice but not amazing.

It had a vegan menu, the waiters were nice and the place was beautiful. But on the other hand it was very expensive and the food was not so good for the price.

Pros: The waiters were nice., The place was beautifull.

Cons: It was expensive., The food was not so good.

Feines veganes Menü

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 😋
Der 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

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

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.

Pros: Staff were incredibly helpful , Menu had lots of options, Fair prices

Great Experience

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!

Good vegan food!

This restaurant has its own vegan menu, they provided free bread baskets, a small complimentary appetizer and limoncello drink afterwards. The meals were delicious and staff was so friendly and attentive!

Great food

The food was really good. They have a separate vegan menu with several options to choose from. Had the eggplant parmigiana and the gnocchi, which were both very good. The staff were also very service minded and made the dining experience great.

Excellent!

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.

Pros: Fried courgette, Pinot noir j. Hofstatter, Options in an area full of pizza and pasta!

Fine dining with vegan options

This place has its own separate vegan menu which was kind of surprising.

It’s a fine dining establishment so smaller portions are to be expected.

Conveniently located nearby my hotel so was very easy to find

Food was tasty but not that special. It’s pricey for what you get.

If you want something else than the usual pasta and pizzas, then try this place.

Friendly and fast service. Staff speaks English well.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Friendly and fast service

Cons: Pricey for what you get., More vegan options are always welcome

Really recommended

I had a lovely experience at this restaurant. They have a fully vegan menu with some really unconventional choices. Food is fairly simple, but packed with flavour and plated very nicely. We spent 68€ for a four course meal with a tiny welcome bite. As a chef myself, I was very pleased with the food and throughly enjoyed myself. Service is fast, attentive and very good overall.

This place is on the costly side, but you won’t leave hungry if you get the whole menu. Comes with bread too.

Pros: Interesting options, Nice plating, Good service

Cons: Cost

Menù a parte vegano ma un po’ caro

Diverse scelte per ogni portata. I piatti sono veramente molto buoni e il personale molto cortese. Peccato il prezzo sia molto alto (antipasti a 22€ circa).

Pros: Menù esclusivo vegano , Personale cortese, Piatti ben curati

Not bad food but overpriced

It is a good option if you want a safe vegan choice, since they have a full vegan menu. Portions are very small and very expensive.

A lot of vegan options (it's expensive, though)

This is a well-known restaurant in the centre of Venezia. The menu is mainly fish-based, but there is an extensive vegan section (with three starters, three firs courses, three second courses, and three desserts), which is positively surprising.

The fiori di zucca are amazing, and also the stuffed paccheri (with aubergines) are really tasty. The waiters are friendly and attentive.

The prices are high (55 Eur per person with one shared appetizer, one first course dish each, a glass of wine each, and some water).

Expensive, fine

Great that they have an all vegan menu. I love that and there aren’t many restaurants that have that. So props where props is due. But the portions were small and expensive. It was good but not good enough and not filling enough for what we paid.

Pros: Vegan menu
