De lo mejor de Roma - Edit
El vegano que más nos gustó de Roma, lo único malo que sólo pudimos ir una vez. La "carne" impresa una locura. Buen trato, buena comida, buen ambiente... 10/10

A great vegan place with so many options! - Edit
I highly recommend a visit here. It's small so it might be good to book ahead. I was a walk in but as I was on my own I was able to get a table. It was hard to pick but I went for a pizza and pasta and they were both so good. The service was great. #Veganuary

Grazie Rifugio - Edit
After several days in traditional Italian restaurants we come across Rifugio The menu has choices not compromises, all 100% vegan.
Read moreThe sample boards are a great way to start the meal, give the hot roasted potatoes a try it’s a piece of home cooking missing in many restaurants. The cannoli’s for the mains are perfect. The Tiramisu is magnificent! Coming back again to try out more.
Pros: Choices choices choices, Staff had time to explain the dishes although busy, Need more places like this around the world

Pequeño, pero impresionante - Edit
Hemos cenado ahí dos noches seguidas y no nos ha defraudado ninguna. Es mejor con reserva, pero con algo de suerte tienes sitio (aunque puede que te limiten el tiempo). Es un sitio pequeño pero con una gran selección de platos, cervezas y, sobretodo, vinos. El personal es amabilísimo, no entiendo las quejas que tienen algunos.
Read morePros: Pizza, Bruschettas, Alcachofa a la romana

So much choice!! - Edit
The menu was extensive, good value and varied. Wish we could have visited multiple times as not just pizza and pasta but a whole range of amazing vegan options. They were turning people away as as so busy. Definitely a must visit for vegans in Rome!

Nice food, service could be better - Edit
Huge range of vegan Italian style dishes. Only pizza was available when we stopped by at 6pm as they don’t offer the dinner menu until after 6.30pm. The pizza was delicious and it was great to have a range of vegan options to choose from in Rome.
Read moreWe tried to book a reservation so we could have dinner there but their online booking system wasn’t working and we were turned away when we arrived for dinner - even though the restaurant was mostly empty.
Pros: Pizza was excellent , Menu looked good
Cons: Staff indifferent to turning away paying customers, Online reservation doesn’t work

Hi, we're sorry that you thought the restaurant was empty. The system was working but was fully booked days before so when you arrived all the tables were booked. How could we gave you a table when the other clients will arrive for their bookings?

Very nice vegan pizza - Edit
We appreciated finding a fully vegan restaurant in Rome with lots of choices and a great selection of pizza. The pizza bases were delicious and the cheese used was also impressive. Very nice food, but make sure you book as it seems to be busy.
Read morePros: Good selection , Really nice pizzas , Dog friendly
Cons: Small and cramped inside when busy , Have to book , Service not the best

Sempre una sicurezza - Edit
Cosa potremmo volere di più di una tipica trattoria romana, ma 100% vegetale? Staff fantastico, atmosfera verace, cibo spaziale e prezzi onestissimi in confronto all'offerta

Tutto ottimo! - Edit
Sono stata due volte a pranzo al Rifugio Romano ed entrambe le volte ho mangiato benissimo. Allego le foto delle varie cose assaggiate. Tutto squisito!
Read moreIn due, abbiamo speso circa 40 € a testa mangiando antipasti, un primo, un secondo, il dolce e da bere.
Le porzioni sono molto soddisfacenti. Poi, vorrei dire che il tiramisù del Rifugio Romano è qualcosa di unico!
Tutto promosso alla grande.
Ci tornerò ogni volta che potrò.

Mamma Mia ! - Edit
This restaurant blowed my mind! It doesn’t have the typical “vegan” restaurant look. I have to asked if the restaurant was really vegan . I can’t believe how good was the food ! I’m sorry I don’t have enough time to eat all they have to offer. It was AMAZING! If you are in Rome you must eat in this place . You should do a reservation because was very busy and they kindly let us in for 40 minutes before it got crowded.

A must-visit! - Edit
We booked a table and I think that’s the best way to get a seat here as it is very busy - many people were turned away on the door so be sure to book!
Read moreThe food here was incredible - I cannot give the place high enough praise! There is lots of exciting dishes to choose from. The arancino and fried artichoke are great for antipasti. I had the tonnorelli with the pumpkin sauce for a main, which I also recommend. The Nutella panna cotta is also fantastic.
Pros: Large menu to choose from , Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Hard to get a table, but worth it - Edit
We had to book twice: the first time, we were on the waiting list. When we showed up, they said that there was no chance that we have a table tonight. We were able to book for a late breakfast later.
Read moreThat was worth it! Every dish that we tried was a delicious vegan version of Italian classics

Non ha deluso le mie aspettative - Edit
Locale piccolino e familiare, il personale è moolto gentile ed il cibo unico; non mangiavo una carbonara da 5 anni ed è stato meraviglioso riassaporare vecchi sapori MA senza crudeltà.

Good for trying different Italian dishes in vegan version - Edit
This place is tiny and very popular. The menu is extensive. I was looking forward to try some, but had a carb overload after a couple days in Rome so I was too full too soon. Didn’t help that both suppli and mezzemanica alla gricia were rich and filling.

il mio ristorante vegano preferito a Roma - Edit
Frequento questo ristorante da quando ancora non era al 100% vegetale e devo dire che dopo aver provato molti dei loro piatti sono ancora più convinta che sia una realtà magnifica. Il menù è molto vario e adatto a tutti i palati, inoltre non ci sono retrogusti strani tipici di molte delle pietanze vegetali in circolazione. Lo staff è super disponibile ed il servizio è piuttosto veloce calcolando che il ristorante è sempre pieno (infatti ricordatevi sempre di prenotare in anticipo). *Menzione d’onore alla carbonara e al maritozzo

A nice Roman meal - Edit
A must try if you're curious to taste vegan versions of delicious Roman pastas. Unfortunately, the place is quite small and the service is not always great.

Uneven and overrated but fun - Edit
It’s fun to have a place where we can eat roman dishes in vegan version and if you’re around (which is easy cause they are by termini station), it’s worth a try. This said, this place is SO overrated! I have been there 5 times and I can say: food is ok, nothing special. Some things are better than others and depending on who’s cooking, the difference can be huge. The carbonara is amazing but lots of “secondi” are awful for example. The atmosphere in the place is not the best. It’s very small and the decoration is sooooo ugly. Until some months ago they had a quite well known chef but now he’s gone so we’ll have to see what happens.

Piatti tipici ma vegani - Edit
Il ristorante offre piatti tipici veganizzati come carbonara, cacio e pepe e amatriciana. Ho apprezzato tanto tutto ciò che ho ordinato, anche se avrei preferito una carbonara più saporita. Suggerisco i moscardini veg e il tagliere di formaggi vegani.

Tiramisu to die for - Edit
Incredibly vast menu. Felt like genuine Italian food that had been veganized without compromising. We had pasta and pizza and tiramisu. Book in advance and come hungry!
