Good - Edit
There was a long wait and several people chose to leave rather than wait, but it was worth it for those of us who stayed. We were seated within about 20-30 minutes. We did find it strange that the tables outside on the sidewalk were not used at all though.
Read moreFood was decent. Love that they have a separate menu, but it was unclear that some dishes didn’t have much food or accompaniment.

Pizza and parmigiana - Edit
Vegan pizza with mozzarella and yellow tomatos was perfect, parmigiana was to die for!!! In my top 5 vegan eats in Italy. The crostata for dessert was great, too. I wish we could gave gone again.

Fresh food and big servings - Edit
A separate vegan menu (ask for it) provides many options, with fresh and flavoursome food on offer.
Read moreVery comfortable setting, and so lovely to have a couple of puppers sitting inside with their families.

Back for take 2 today at lunch time and am happy to report the vegan margherita pizza is also pure lovely 🥰

Amazing pizza - Edit
They have a vegan menu which we got amongst the regular menu, we did not have to ask for it. They have starters, main courses, pizzas and even desserts. I had pizza Margherita with rice mozzarella and it was amazing, really thin dough and tasty cheese. The restaurant is very cozy.

Great! 😋 - Edit

delicious pizza - Edit
We had dinner at Casa Pepe & enjoyed our pizza very much. Plenty of vegan choices, you have to ask for the vegetarian/vegan menu. Great pizza, fast service. Enjoyable atmosphere, exactly what I would want to experience in an Italian pizza place. Very recommendable.

Paccheri e parmigiana degni di nota - Edit
I paccheri veg con crema di ceci e la parmigiana di melanzane con mozzarella di riso erano spettacolari! Da tornarci. Il locale poi è davvero accogliente e carino.

Great vegan food - Edit
How lucky we were to have found this L’Osteria! We asked for the vegan menu and were pleasantly surprised by the great and varied selection. The complimentary starter was already a lovely touch—and the appetizer, a polenta bruschetta, was absolutely amazing. I went on to have a stuffed pizza with rice mozzarella, a super tasty salad, fresh white bread with fantastic olive oil, and finished off with a delicious cake. The house wine was also delightful. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place—super friendly service, great atmosphere, and outstanding vegan cuisine.

Solid option in Trieste - Edit
You have to specifically request the vegan menu, as they by default give you a regular one without any marked vegan options I honestly thought it was overpriced for what it was, but the food was still nice. I was suggested to get 2 dishes as they said the portions were small, but 2 dishes was definitely too much for one person as the appetisers are quite big.
Read morePros: Many vegan options, Italian food
Cons: Pricy, Vegan menu only by request

The best in Trieste! - Edit
My friend (she’s doing veganuary!) and I were looking for affordable, vegan eats and this place is the best for it! We enjoyed their fried pizza appetizer (be warned, it’s huge) which was an easy 11/10. We tried two pizzas for our main which we were thrilled by. It’s not the best vegan cheese out there but it melts nicely and doesn’t taste too bad! If we were here longer, we’d try the full menu. Also, the 2euro extra charge someone reported isn’t for the free veggies- it’s the coperto. #Veganuary

Favorite pasta ever - Edit
We stumbled upon this restaurant by mistake and to our luck, they had a separate vegan menu, I loved the pasta dish with the yellow cherry tomatoes, olives and capers. It was so delicious, I’ve tried making it myself at home many times

Menù vegano a richiesta - Edit
A richiesta mi hanno portato un menù interamente vegano. Ho provato la montanara di pizza fritta e i paccheri con crema di ceci. Tutto molto buono e prezzi nella norma.

More options than expected in Italy - Edit
You have to ask for a separate vegan menu (I don't understand why it's simply not a part of the menu everyone gets). There are a few options for every phase of an Italian dinner - antipasti, primi, secondi, dolce. There are also some vegan pizzas - but you can choose any vegetarian pizza on the ordinary menu and swap the mozzarella with a vegan one.
Read moreI tried parmigiana and some pasta. Both were very good - although I'd expect the portion of parmigiana to be a bit bigger (it was in the secondi section of the menu).
I'm definitely coming back to try some other things they have on the menu. :)
Pros: Vegan menu with different options
Cons: Size of the secondi

Really Good Vegan Menu - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu that you have to ask for. The options all looked pretty good, they have appetizers, first and second course, and a dessert.
Read moreWe just ordered two pizzas and something to drink. Pizzas were really good, supper thin dough with a thick and fluffy crust, really good tomato sauce, and vegan mozzarella made from rice.
—They also gave us an appetizer which we hadn't ordered, the waiter told us its from the house, so I was a bit surprised when I saw it on the receipt afterwards, it was €2 per plate, for basically a piece of lettuce, two olives and a big caper. Felt a bit scummy, I have no idea if this is common in Italy as I've never seen this done before in other restaurants.—
It didn't take away from the experience that much as the rest of the food was really cheap, but still felt a bit scammed.
Pros: Really Good Pizza, Cheap Price, Cool Atmosphere
Cons: Unwanted Appetizer, "Secret" Vegan Menu

This traditional Osteria (although modern in appearance) is a perfect place for a lovely evening. Conveniently located with seating outside (reservations recommended) and inside offers a good range of vegetarian options and also has a vegan menu (you have to ask for it though).

Fair but... - Edit
Probably the best vegan pizza in the region.
Read moreThe menu is pretty good even if some additional protein ingredient would be welcome.
The vegan cheese uses is not the best (texture especially).
The service was a bit chaotic.
For the price it was fair.

Cons: Service a bit long, Vegan moza

Menù completo con buona scelta. Tutto molto gustoso a prezzi super - Edit
Il menù offre antipasti, primi, secondi e un dolce vegano davvero buoni e gustosi. Le pizze hanno un impasto fantastico e sono ben farcite (anche la mozzarella di riso viene messa in abbondanza). I prezzi sono più bassi della media! Ambiente molto carino e accogliente con personale gentile. L'unica cosa che mi e dispiaciuta è dover chiedere il menù vegano perché, se non mi fossi informata prima, avrei ordinato una pizza marinara senza sapere che c'era un menù a parte così bello.
