Great location, fab food - Edit
Just a little place, but a nice, historic locale. Had a street band just around the corner when I arrived.
Read moreMenu is small, but packed with delicious comfort foods. Beyond products if you want them, too.
I had a loaded sausage topped with their in-house chili. It was amazing. Great mix of salty and sweet. Staff was really friendly, too.
Prices are a little high, but that's due to the location, I'm sure.
Pros: Great location, Delicious food, Friendly staff
Cons: Pricey ($15 sausage)

Among the best in the area - Edit
Pricey but extremely well done vegan fare. Seating is limited and hipster in tone; a great place for an expensive evening out.

A hidden gem. - Edit
I stumbled across this restaurant while attending a baby shower at the community center adjacent. I was pleasantly surprised by the food, friendly people, and vast menu of option. They also accept reservations which is a good to know for date night. The Meaty ball sub was yummy and fries were on point. The portions were large; I also had the peanut butter cupcake recommended by staff it was really tasty!

Absolutely fabulous! - Edit
I truly loved this restaurant! For those who are not familiar with the area, there are not a lot of vegan choices in the Prince George’s County area. So it is very refreshing to see some wonderful options starting to pop up. Since this restaurant is all vegan, I’m actually allowed by the app to give it the five star that it is deserving of. The menu is divided up into salads, sandwiches and bowls. There are also appetizers. The menu items are very creative and appear to be very appetizing. I tried the cauliflower buffalo wings and a Carciofo bowl. The both were amazing! I can’t wait to go back and work my way through their menu. Additionally, prices are reasonable. So if you are anywhere in the vicinity, definitely make your way over here. It is worth the trip!

Worth the drive - Edit
If you’re in MD, DC, VA, CA ... go here. First time in today and we tried everything. Left with full stomachs, a to-go bag (portions are not for the ‘I’m not hungry’ set) and huge smiles. A welcoming, happy, delicious restaurant. Start with the ‘calamari’ and end with the tiramisu cheesecake and cannoli. Amazingly wonderful. Get in the car now.

Delicious Lunch! - Edit
We dined here for the first time yesterday and enjoyed every bite.
Read moreWe started with King Trumpet Calamari which had great flavor and just the right amount of chew to make you think you were really eating calamari.
Next we split the Italian Sausage Sub and Vegano Salad. Both were excellent. I asked whether they made the sausage on site and was told it was Beyond Meat brand. I had not tried Beyond Meat sausage but thought it was a lot better than other plant based sausage. The salad was very fresh with tasty toasted pumpkin seeds.
Pros: Interesting variety of food, Italian Foods, Outdoor seating available
Cons: none

WOW!!! Great Food, Great Drinks, and Great Music! - Edit
Went here on a Saturday night, and EVERYTHING was outstanding. Had the Cauliflower Wings (Best I ever Had), Baked Olives, Meaty Ball Sub and Carciofo Sub with Carrot cake at the end. Everything was soooooo good, and all home made, no pre-frozen grocery items. They also have a bar, and entertainment, the night we went there was a Paul McCartney tribute act, I would have paid what my meal cost just to see the show. If you are in the area this is a MUST STOP! Great for Date night, Group outing, or just for a bite to eat.

So many choices! - Edit
Already a fan of DC Vegan but my first time at Pianta. I had the Kale Caesar Salad and my date had the Meaty Ball Sub. Both were delicious! The staff was super-friendly and there is a nice casual vibe--you order at the counter and your food is brought to your table when it is ready. The dessert menu looks amazing. Vegan Tiramasu? Yes, please!

Good, Fast Food - Edit
I have been eating DC Vegan Catering packaged foods from grocery stores for awhile now, so i was excited to see that they opened a restaurant. I was even more excited when i saw it was Italian themed. It did not disappoint.
Read moreMy partner had fried "calamari" which he loved. We split some sandwiches, both of which were delicious. My only complaint is that i wish they had more filling in them. I would not mind paying more for extra fried artichoke or sausage. Next time i will make sure to ask.
They had some very tempting cakes that i will make sure to try next time.
It is conveniently located close to the beltway, much easier for me to get to than restaurants in DC. I look forward to eating there more!
Pros: Excellent staff, quick service, good sandwiches

Love this Place! - Edit
The staff is friendly and helpful. The space is clean and inviting, with a quirky, eclectic clientele. We love the Vegano salad and the Americano burger. The fries, both regular and sweet potato, are delicious and not greasy. The chocolate chunk cookie is the perfect ending to a meal. Check out the historic theater across the way, still showing current movies. For even more fun, go on a night with music.

Amazing food - 100% plant based! - Edit
Have been here twice since they opened. Totally different place than the old cafe in this location, is now 100% plant based and new owners. The food is great and good variety, with many soy free and gluten free options. The meaty ball sub, beet burger and Chesapeake (“crab cake” type sandwich) were loved by the vegans and non-vegans alike at our table. The service is awesome. They also have beer and desserts- the peanut butter bomb is amazing and they’re not kidding when they say it serves two- more like 4! Will definitely be back.

So good - Edit
We had the calamari, sausage sandwich, and caprese sandwich. Best veg sausage I’ve ever had and the side of olive was my favorite. Everything was what it claimed to be on the menu and was so good. It reminded me of a diner from before I was vegan but a little nicer
