Wonderful fresh pasta - Edit
Second time here and just as good. Several vegan options and tofu as protein option on salad. The ravioli was filled with cashew cheese and spinach in a delightful olive oil saute. They even bring out Nooch for topping.

Perfect little Italian restaurant - Edit
This cute family style restaurant is tucked away in a quieter part of town. It’s menu is classic but has great vegan options. Just mention you’re vegan and you’ll be well fed. Home made vegan pasta options along with incredible cheeses made from scratch. Mozzarella is amazing and cashew based. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their vegan offerings. Chef Paolo is a huge fan of eating plant based and just won top chef in the Reno Vegan Chef Challenge.
Read moreThey also have meal kits ready to go so you can purchase your pasta, raviolis and sauces to take with you.
Available at the local Riverside Farmers Market or in the restaurant.
Pros: Home made fresh vegan cheeses, Vegan pastas and sauce, Vegan raviolis on rotation with new flavors
Cons: $ a bit pricey but so are cashews!

Amazing Italian vegan 3 course meal! - Edit
Pasta Fresca rocked the Reno Vegan Chef Challenge this past January taking home Chef of the Year and Best Vegan Pasta awards. This hidden gem offers an intimate dining experience and will not disappoint. They also sell their pasta and sauces to-go and at the local farmers market. I enjoyed the delicious vegan Caprese Salad and the house-made cashew mozzarella cheese was amazing. I had the truffle mushroom vegan ravioli and vegan chocolate cannoli for dessert. (They also offered Chocolate and Pistachio - Cocoa Cake filled with Pistachio cream served with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream during the challenge as well). You may have to ask for these items by request now that the chef challenge has ended, but their menu is clearly marked with vegan options and most dishes can be made to accommodate vegan preferences upon request. Definitely worth checking this spot out! The only thing I wish they offered was vegan parmesan cheese as I'm not a huge fan of using plain nutritional yeast on my pasta.

Cons: Nutritional yeast is used as vegan parmesan
