Nice but overpriced - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

Beautiful rooftop view with super nice food - Edit
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!
Read moreFood 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 - Edit
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.

Another amazing dinner - Edit
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 🙂

Good food, but lacking wine knowledge - Edit
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 - Edit
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

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.

Vegan Heaven - Edit
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!

A touch disappointing. - Edit
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.

Pas assez de choix pour les véganes - Edit
Nous avons payé très cher et n’avons pas été satisfait du repas, bien que le chef nous ait « véganisé » le risotto.
Read moreNous 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 - Edit
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.

best place in Rome for veg food - Edit
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...

A meal to remember - Edit
This is one of the best meals I've ever had, without exaggeration. A stunning nighttime view across Rome, on a warm balmy evening. The food was imaginative, beautiful and delicate, and served by attentive and polite staff. We treated ourselves and had the tasting menu. Not often an option for vegans and it was amazing. The vegan canoli alone was one to remember!!
Read morePros: Incredible location and food to match.
Cons: This is a very expensive restaurant - the most we'

beautiful setting but the food is terrible - Edit
This restaurant could have been really good. The setting is incredible with an amazing view. The staff is friendly and professional but the food is not good. I had the saffron risotto which was less than plain and my husband a tomato pasta which wasn't even al dente. Wine list is good. I mainly feel that this place is too over priced for the quality of food that they're serving, even taking the view into count. Go here for apertivo or desert but not dinner.

Dear Guest,
Read moreFirst of all we would like to thank you for sharing your most valuable feedback with us.
We truly appreciate your comments about the quality of the service and about the location that is one of our main features as it offers a splendid overlook on the roofs and domes of Rome.
We are sorry to read your disappointment about the food and we regret to know that you didn’t appreciate the preparation of the dishes you’ve tried; we reported your comment about the cooking time of the spaghetti dish to our chef and we removed the saffron risotto from our menu in order to find a better combination of tastes. In fact we think that both the positive and negative comments have to be taken on board so we can better understand our clients’ preferences.
We are afraid to know that you found the prices expensive related to the quality of the food; we only use organic ingredients purchased exclusively from trusted and certified suppliers as we are very conscious about the importance of the raw materials in our cuisine.
We hope to have the chance to welcome you back in our rooftop restaurant Mater Terrae so we can change your mind and offer you a memorable experience.
Fondest Regards,
Roberto E. Vannoni and the Mater Terrae staff
