Great Affordable Spot - Edit
Very near the central train station. I went twice. So many vegan options! I loved the dish that I ordered the first time, which was a seitan pasta carbanara. I would not order the pizza - did not have much flavor! In my opinion this place is a vegan must if you're visiting Rome!

Well worth it - Edit
This little place happened to be right near our hotel, and offered traditional, vegan, and gluten free options. Their menu is extensive and has fully vegan sections for antipasti, first and second courses, as well as many vegan desserts (including gelato and tiramisu). The space itself is quite small so if you have a large party (or really more than 2), you might consider making a reservation or being prepared to wait. It is a little pricier than an every day place, but overall very reasonable and the amount of variety definitely would make it a place to return.

Popular place with yummy pizza - Edit
Despite having to wait about 30 minutes to be seated our meal was lovely. I had a pizza with vegan cheese, mushroom, vegan sausage and it was delicious. The place is clearly very popular with both vegans and non-vegans but I’m not surprised! The vegan section of the menu was huge and everything sounded gorgeous, the prices weren’t bad either. It was super busy but the staff made a huge effort literally running around to make sure everyone was being seen to. Outdoor seating was fab!
Read morePros: Loads of vegan options!!, Vegan tiramisu was unreal! Recommend , Big portions and not too expensive
Cons: Very busy- book ahead or wait in a long queue!

Lots of vegan options - Edit
This place was so good we went back the next day! So many options for vegans with an entire section labeled vegan options with most dishes from the regular menu veganized. The first night we went for dinner it was packed which is always a good sign. We had the bruschetta and vegan rice ball with vegan cheese and some sort of marinara sauce (pretty much like an arancini ball), as entrees which were really nice. I had the vegan carbonara which was quite impressive and I loved the bits of smoked seitan. Only complaint would be that my meal came out 5 mins after my husbands and he was halfway through his before I got mine. Maybe just a miscommunication with the server and the kitchen staff. The second night I had the fettuccini ragu which was like a vegan bolognese sauce. No pasta was left on my plate! The service was quick and very friendly. We met a woman having lunch at the restaurant and we definitely over stayed our welcome chatting with her but the staff never came up to us to ask us to leave. They will give you a complimentary shot of limoncello at the end of your meal so if you are not fond of this, let them know so it doesn’t go to waste. The food was good but not excellent and that’s the only reason for not giving 5 stars. Everything else was amazing.

Omg the lasagne and desserts!! - Edit
Had the lasagne, carbonara, avocado salad, tirimasu, custard & cake of the day... lasagne was the best vegan one I’ve ever had... salad was great (couldn’t really go wrong), and the carbonara had more curry vibes than creamy... could have passed on it. All the desserts were AMAZING. highly recommend & lovely staff 🤗

Good but not great - Edit
The vegan pizzas we had were good, but not the best we had. The place was very crowded which made it a bit uncomfortable, the service was still very friendly and prices reasonable.

Lots of vegan options, taste is below average - Edit
This restaurant is VERY central in Rome. Their menucard has about 3 pages full of vegan options. The food looks alright, but I found it lacking in taste, especially for a mediterranian country.

Many vegan options - Edit
A lot of different vegan options and they are clearly marked in the menu. We tried pizza and pasta and they were really good. It might be a good idea to book a table in advance as the restaurant might be full

Simply incredible - Edit
Came here for dinner and we were blown away by their vegan menu. Best meal we’ve had in Rome so far, regardless. Their pastas, pizzas, antipastis and second courses are all delicious. They also have a lot of options with seitan, tempeh and other sources of vegan protein which is very nice when you’ve been having carbs pretty much all the time.

So many amazing Vegan Choices - Edit
Had the greatest vegan meal, so many choices. We opted for vegan Arranchini, vegan Supli, and vegan croquetas for starters, they were gorgeous very nice vegan cheese, suited us down to the ground. Service was a little slow, but still a queue of 10 people waiting for seats obviously shows how good this place is. I had a Vegan pizza with artichokes, Seitan and chilli which was great, lovely tomato base. My girlfriend went for basically vegan carbonara, pasta with cheese and smoked Seitan and black pepper which was gorgeous too. Then onto the desserts, the absolute best, and again so many vegan choices, you have to try the Tiramisu which was amazing and Panna cotta was okay, but that was probably just due to how good the Tiramisu was!!! All of the above and two cocktails cost well under €60 you have to come here even if just for the Tiramisu, Bellissimo!!
Read morePros: SO many delicious vegan choices, Vegan Tiramisu was gorgeous, Very reasonable prices too, ~€10 a main!
Cons: Service a little slow, could have been very busy!, Sells meat / fish but I don’t mind that

You're in Rome, you definitely want to eat some Italian specialties! You'll love Rifugio Romano. It's small and gets best crowded, so I recommend a reservation.

The best place for vegans in Rome! - Edit
OMG! This place was absolutely unreal! They have a whole seperate menu for vegans with countless authentic Italian dishes. It’s delicious and tasty Italian food made vegan and it was the best place we ate in all of Rome (and we tried other places but I were very disappointed). The staff are so lovely and this place is very busy so for dinner maybe call to book ahead or come in a bit earlier. We can here three nights in a row because there was so much to try! You could come here for a month and probably still not try everything vegan on offer! Do yourself a favour and come here! The carbonara w/ seitan was my favourite along with the custard desert. 💚🙌🏽

Dinner - Edit
Hmm we had high expectation. We ordered two appetiser: pizza balls with garlic (ok plus) and some other balls (lol). For dinner we had carbonara, calzone and pizza 4 formaggio. Carbonara didn’t taste anything, calzone was a dry, but the pizza was ok.

Large menu - Edit
Massive vegan menu with so many options. Vegan replacement for all traditional aspects of meals - meats cheeses creams etc. I ordered carbonara, it was nice but not the best - quite salty. We ordered arancini entree but it did not come out until well after we had finished our mains. I still recommend this place.

Small but very well visited restaurant. Very many vegan options. There are so many that there is even an extra card for it. The vegan spaghetti carbonara were great. And a dream what the vegan Tiramisu! Also have some vegan wines. Absolutely recommendable!
