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

Cons: Prezzi molto alti

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.

Awesome place, but expensive

They have a vegan section on the regular menu with 3 or 4 dishes in each part, appraisers, first course and 2nd courts, plus desserts. I recommend the parmigiana. The wine list also is good quality and some rather pricey options. Our waiter was really helpful and professional. Made a special occasion for our dinner in Venice and was worth the price (unlike many other expensive things in this city!)

Pros: Lots of clearly identified vegan options, Nice terrace, Knowledgable waiter and good service

Cons: Expensive, Nothing, Nothing

Highly recommend but pricey

This place had its own separate vegan menu including starters , first choice and second choice which were basically mains and 3 options for vegan dessert. Me and my daughter had altogether 5 options from the vegan menu and they were all delicious and excellently presented. On the expensive side but worth it for the quality. The waiters fully understood what vegan was.

Pros: Range of choices, Presentation , Atmosphere

Amazing food

Had the best vegan Main at this place; crusted beetroot fillet with truffle sauce. It was amazing! They have a whole vegan menu and food was varied and different. Great for vegans and non-vegans

Served me meat without apology

Be careful when ordering here! This place accidentally gave me non-vegetarian pasta which I ate some of before realising. Upon bringing the mix up to the waiters’ attention we received no apology and were still charged for the item in full.

Moreover the gin and tonic was priced at €20, more than some of the mains, which to me seemed predatory.

Pros: Food was tasty in the end

Cons: Gave me meat, No apology, Overpriced drinks

Good food and service

Separate vegan menu with appetisers, first course, main course and desserts. Around 12 options total. Service was great and food was amazing, but it's on the price side, even for venice. I had the paccheri past first course, vegan cordon bleu second course and the strawberry soup with ice cream for dessert. All my meals were amazing.

Excellent vegan menu

This restaurant was great for a fancy meal out without being too insanely expensive. They have a fully vegan section of their menu and offered delicious options on a menu deal too. The staff know what vegan is and were really helpful and attentive. I’ve recreated the pistachio pasta already as it was so delicious, and they let us help ourselves to limoncello at the end of the meal too! Definitely recommend.

Pros: Vegan menu, Knowledgable and helpful staff

Delicious high end vegan options

Absolutely delicious vegan food. They have items clearly marked as vegan and the chefs have committed to making sure vegans have the same dining experience, quality and taste as non vegans. High end so expensive but we’ll worth it. 5 stars.

Amazing food

Dedicated vegan menu, with some very creative options. I had beetroot parcels with smoked tofu cream and a strawberry soup with champagne ice cream for dessert. Food is lovely but the portions are small and even for Venice it is very pricey. This is a fine dining restaurant, reservations are recommended

Pros: Good selection of options, Quality food , Quality dining experience

Cons: Expensive, Reservations recommended , Small portions

Wonderful, best lunch we had in Venice

This may not be a vegan restaurant but they actually take their vegan food seriously and it showed. I ordered the tasting menu and everything I ate was delicious, thoughtfully conceived, and beautiful. Note that it can take a long time for all the dishes to be served, they take dining and enjoying your meal seriously (it took about two hours for the full meal, so plan accordingly).

We ate here on day two in Venice, after a day of sadly notably lackluster dining, so Da Mario was exactly what we needed to save the trip.

Expensive, but incredible

Incredible food and a whole vegan menu included in the main menu with lots of options. Vegan tasting menu available for €62, which includes 4 courses. I opted for this and although pricey, it was definitely worth the money as I think I ate more in this meal than the rest of the trip so far! Every course was delicious.

Pros: Tasty food, Vegan menu

Cons: Expensive

Overpriced, but great dessert!

I enjoyed this restaurant, but the overall value was mediocre. Considering our experience, I thought it was overpriced. Our server was unfriendly, we waited more than 40 minutes for our entree, several of the vegan menu options were not available to order, and the food was just okay. Having said that, I really appreciated the explicit vegan options, and I loved the beautiful presentation of the dishes. And I absolutely loved our dessert – the “after eight” chocolate spaghetti. It was novel and very delicious! If you’re eager for explicit vegan menus in Venice, this is a good choice, but overall it did not impress me. Make a reservation in advance online.

Not worth it I don’t reckon

Very expensive for kinda average food. Eggplant lasagne was a grey salty pillow. Service was kinda weird.. very quick with some things but then seemingly ignoring you with others. Mama mia

Whole Vegan Menu!

Nice place with pleasant waiters.

A gastronomic Italian restaurant but with a whole vegan menu. Incredible!

Classics dishes revisited in vegan version. Everything was delicious (special mention for the crusted beetroot filet and truffle sauce!).

And to accompany it all, a wide selection of wines, even if the wines menu was a bit complicated to understand.

----

Un très joli restaurant avec des serveurs très agréables.

Un restaurant de gastronomie italienne proposant un menu 100% vegan. Incroyable !

Des classiques de la cuisine italienne revisités en version vegan (mention spéciale au rôti de betterave en croûte et sa reduction de truffe !).

Et pour accompagner le tout, une large sélection de vins, même si la carte était un peu compliquée à comprendre.

Pros: 100% Vegan menu, Pleasant waiters, Incredible flavours

Cons: Wines menu a bit complicated to understand
