Premium Italian Cuisine Buffet-Style Resto

This is a buffet restaurant, but not like most similar places: here the food is top quality and is not as cheap as other buffets. The risotto, the sushi, and the veggie meats were excellent. I guess this is just how a true Italian vegan risotto should taste like. The best was, by far, the tiramisù. My new inspiration for my future attempts to recreate this Italian classic. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They explained clearly how the place works, as soon as I got in. One of my favorite places in Rome.

Pros: Typical Italian dishes in vegan versions, Buffet-style, Best tiramisú ever!

Cons: A bit pricey for a buffet-style restaurant

Vegan buffet heaven

Huge buffet with fresh and tasty dishes to try. Love the concept that you can pick from the huge variety and pay per weight.

Senza pretese

Premetto che non amo particolarmente i self-service ma riconosco che per un pranzo veloce siano un'ottima alternativa al panino.
Di quello che ho preso per comporre il mio piatto alcune cose erano molto buone tempeh marinato, ravioli, quadratini fritti tipo panelle), altre cose senza infamia e senza lode (funghi in salsa, verdure cotte), altre decisamente meno buone (tempura molto unto, gnocchi di patate duri, sfilaccettitroppo pannosi).
L'uso massiccio di panna tende a uniforme e appiattire tutte le pietanze rendendole alla fine molto stucchevoli.
Decisamente scorretto far pesare il pane insieme alle pietanze e farlo quindi pagare 30 € al chilo.

Pros: Grande scelta di pietanze con cui comporre il piat, Servizio veloce

Cons: Far pesare il pane con le altre pietanze, La non disponibilità di acqua del rubinetto

Just ok

Glad to find a fully vegan restaurant. It is a buffet where you pay by weight. However, it was kind of expensive and all of our food was cold after the weighing process

So Good

Came for lunch, and staff were friendly and helpful. They explained how it works, and let us know how we could tell when the buffet was ready (we came slightly early before opening time). Food was so good! And such a great price for everything I piled on. Ravioli, Lasagna etc were superb. Highly reccomend.

Pros: Friendly staff, Great price, Delicious food

Highly recommended

My favourite vegan restaurant in Rome. Love the fact that you can eat according to you hungry and not set portions, as it's a restaurant by weight.

The desserts are delicious.

100% vegan buffet!

Absolutely unbelievable 100% VEGAN BUFFET!! It cost me €30 for my full plate because it’s charged by weight, which I obviously piled up HIGH! 😻 it was so so tasty and so many options! Also a really lovely atmosphere and outside seating area! Can’t wait to come back to Roma just to come here! 💜😬

Lo amo!!

I piatti proposti sono tantissimi e sempre diversi. Essendo a buffet in self service è possibile decidere la quantità che so desidera: adoro!

LA PERFEZIONE

Il mio posto preferito IN ASSOLUTO.
Il locale è grande e bellissimo, il personale gentile e preparato, il buffet self service VASTISSIMO (primi, secondi, contorni, piatti crudi, cotti, caldi, freddi, dolci al cucchiaio, dolci a torta, pane, zuppe, estratti, qualsiasi cosa vogliate, loro lo hanno).

Pros: Vastissima scelta, Locale stupendo, Self service

Cons: NIENTE

Un gioiello vegano.

Locale fantastico e dall'atmosfera rilassante e tranquilla. La formula a buffet permette di poter assaggiare tutto dal menù enorme che il ristorante offre. Lo staff è estremamente gentile e disponibile, sia quello in sala che quello in cucina, sono stati tutti veramente fantastici. La proposta di piatti spazia da quelli orientali come sushi e riso al curry, fino a scaloppine ai funghi e lasagne alle verdure, tutti preparati con passione e maestria.
Anche i dolci sono buonissimi e la scelta ha la sua buona varietà, inoltre il ristorante offre molte opzioni senza glutine. Ha un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo e una buona media di spesa a persona, anche servendosi più di una volta al buffet. Torneremo sicuramente!

Pros: Atmosfera rilassante , Ottima varietà e qualità dei piatti , Personale gentile e molto disponibile

Closes earlier than advertised

It says that they close at 3:30 PM. I got there well before that and was informed that they were closing the Buffet already. I walked 30 minutes in the rain to get there. This is aggravating as hell!

Delicious buffet

The buffet offered a huge variety of vegan dishes that were all simply delicious. Happy to have found this place in Rome (and Italy), where it is hard to find places with a vegan mindset.

Pros: Big variety of dishes, Take as much as you want (pay per weight)

Cons: With 3,00 € per 100 grams a little pricey
