Nice view, great staff and fantastic food! Pricey but worth it. The pasta with tomato sauce was the best I’ve ever had!😄

Nice fine dinning

I enjoyed the view, and the food was excellent. However, the staff was a bit slow and disorganized. For a Michelin restaurant, this behavior from the staff is not acceptable.

Pros: Nice view, Friendly stuff, Bio quality

Cons: Slow stuff, Unorganized stuff

Nice but overpriced

I know this is a chic place but comparing to other upscale vegan restaurants I’ve been at, it is not the best and it is VERY expensive. Being a-la-càrte and not a degustation menu, it gets pricey! The food was of course good but overhyped and overpriced. The view is amazing and the staff was very nice.

Seriously one of the best experiences

After 3 hours of a beautiful view and truly incredibly unique flavours, I can say this was truly an experience to remember! We decided to go the 8 course tasting menu and we’re very happy. Even my partner who isn’t vegetarian was impressed.

Pros: Memorable experience, Colorful flavours , Beautiful views

Cons: Expensive , Somewhat slower service

Beautiful rooftop view with super nice food

We had dîner there and unfortunately when we arrived it was already dark and we couldn't enjoy the view 😩 so make sure to book a table when you'd be able to enjoy it!
Food was super good although I was expecting a little bit more from a Relais Château restaurant.
Plenty of vegan options on the menu, even vegan wines were available.
Portions were OK as well.
Staff was super friendly and used to welcoming vegan customers so very aware of our needs

Pros: Fresh ingredients , Super friendly staff , Location + view

Cons: Price, although OK for a Relais Château

Michelin Star Vegan and Vegetarian restaurant

Delightful full vegan testing menu. Eight different plates including two desserts. The food was the best part but it also has an incredible terrace and view. The service was perfect. The staff were really really nice and friendly.

I’d come to thins place again of I get to go back to Rome. Don’t miss it. Every bite is an explosion of flavors.

Another amazing dinner

My husband and I visited about 5 years ago and everything from the food to the service to the view was amazing. I was hesitant to visit again during this trip because of the recent bad reviews, but we went ahead anyway and Im glad we did! The service was top notch. Everyone was super accommodating and made sure to tell us whenever they brought a dish out that it was in fact vegan (we didnt even have to ask!) The food was incredible as always. This place is very pricey, but honestly its worth it if you can afford to splurge for a nice night out 🙂

Pros: Vegan options, Staff is super accommodating, The view!

Cons: Expensive , but a nice treat

Good food, but lacking wine knowledge

The food is very well made, and there are several vegan options with some gluten-free options. We did have to remind them for a couple of the dishes outside of the menu like petit fours etc that we were vegan as some of these will be served and are only vegetarian. They have a very good wine list, but they were missing several of the wines they normally serve by the glass without swapping them for something else. We had a very good dining experience in the evening, but a slightly more disappointing experience for drinks in the afternoon. We had to order three different wines until they found one they actually had, and it was also served in the wrong glass. I expect more at Michelin-stared restaurants, and would hope that there is a Sommelier there that can shape up how they serve and present wine as that was relatively disappointing.

Serata vegana tra i tetti di Roma

Piatti vegani al top, servizio impeccabile. Pane meraviglioso fatto in casa. Il risotto ‘ombelico del mondo’ è imperdibile. Specificare di essere vegani perché i piatti sono vegetariani. Il personale è attentissimo e veramente cortese. Visto che eravamo indecisi ci sono stati proposti degli assaggi. #Veganuary

Pros: Attenzione nel servizio, Qualità degli ingredienti

Upscale

Beautiful spot at top of a hotel. Mostly vegetarian with enough vegan options. Good if you are looking for a fancy place but I think it lacked some creativity.

Pros: Nice view and presentation

Cons: Mostly Vegetarian , Slightly boring

Bad service and expensive

We had high expectations because of past reviews. The service is the worst, prices high and not good vegan options. Don't even bother.

Vegan Heaven

I don’t have words to describe my experience, but if you’re looking for vegan fine dining this is some of the best vegan food I’ve had (vegan 10 years). So many interesting flavors and creative dishes. Rooftop dining was in one of the most beautiful settings. Between the food and ambiance you feel like you’re wrapped in a warm blanket. Worth every penny!

Pros: Fancy, Delicious, Creative Dishes , Ambiance + Friendly Staff, Loved learning history of the chef

A touch disappointing.

Service, venue and wine were fantastic. Sadly the food did not live up to expectations at all. Really sorry but I probably would not return, especially for €200 for 2 of us.

Pros: Service, Wine, Location

Cons: Food

Pas assez de choix pour les véganes

Nous avons payé très cher et n’avons pas été satisfait du repas, bien que le chef nous ait « véganisé » le risotto.
Nous avons pris le raw Cheese en entrée servi avec les crackers maison, que nous ne voyons pas en tant que tel mais plutôt comme des mousses.
Les portions des plats que nous avons pris sont extrêmement petites, il manque effectivement de générosité dans les assiettes bien que le dressage soit esthétique.
Ce restaurant est intéressant pour les végétariens mais pas pour les véganes selon notre expérience. C’est un peu dommage car on s’attend autre chose vue les prix. Nous n’y retournerions pas une deuxième fois.

Pros: Jolie terrasse roof top , Restaurant végétarien

Cons: Très cher, Pas assez d’options veganes

Everything except the food is wonderful

Beautiful setting, lovely service. The food looks beautiful, yet every dish we ordered was completely bland. The portions were rather small, which didn’t affect me because I didn’t even want to eat it. The food is Just really lacking in any seasoning. It was also extremely expensive, which I was prepared for, and would have gladly paid, if the food had been good. If you go, make sure to have a warm jacket. Some tables have heaters, ours did not and thought I mentioned it, all I was offered was a white blanket which I refused because it didn’t look all that clean and would have left lint all over my dark clothes.

Pros: Beautiful view

best place in Rome for veg food

Menu is a delight of Italian Mediterranean food full of creativity. You can perceive a deep search for quality and excellence. Home made pasta with traditional carbonara in vegetarian version absolutely fantastic. Had lunch on the terrace with a magnificent panoramic view of Rome and felt like eating with the stomach and with the eyes...
