3 whole menu pages of vegan options! - Edit
If I had visited this place on my first day in Rome, I would have eaten here EVERY day! Family owned and run traditional Italian restaurant. Two daughters and the mother are vegan, and made sure the menu has a rich choice of vegan options: from starters to deserts, including pizza and pasta. Everything we ordered was delicious and fantastic, and the service was superior, knowledgeable and kind. My first and last Gnocchi in Rome, since it's so hard to find a vegan version. I give them 5 stars, even though Happy Cow allow only four for non-vegan restaurant. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant!

Assolutamente da provare! Consigliato! - Edit
Locale molto bello, mi ha colpito subito l'insegna fuori :D Anche il nome "rifugio" dà l'idea di un posto caldo e accogliente e in effetti è proprio così. Si mangia molto bene. La pizza è proprio quella tipica romana (fina e leggera) come piace a me e ci sono anche molte scelte per chi come noi mangia vegan, sia di pizza che di primi, secondi e dessert (c'è addirittura in vino vegan). Menù molto ricco, ci sono stata diverse volte e ho provato diversi piatti come la carbonara, i ravioli, le scaloppine di seitan, il burger, le polpettine, l'antipasto misto e diversi dolci come il tiramisù, la sacher e la sbriciolata, tutto vegan :D consigliato davvero!

Best Vegan Italian Food Ever - Edit
We ate here twice because every single dish was delicious. Extensive vegan menu, excellent staff, well-priced, cute outdoor seating. Wish we had more time in Rome to try more of their food. 10/10

Very nice place & employees - Edit
I went twice to this restaurant, during my 1week stay in Rome. First time was to try its vegan pizza (as I read in an article about it being the only place someone could find vegan pizza) and 2nd on my way to the airport, I stopped by for lunch.
Read morePrices reasonable, the waitress has such a nice energy and the vibes in the restaurant are very positive.
Thumbs up for not closing between 3.30-8 as many restaurants do...
Pros: Location, Variety, Cozy

Fantastic Italian cuisine suited for Vegans - Edit
This place has really managed to turn the meaty and cheesy Italian cuisine to be suitable for vegans, and done a remarkable job at it too!
Read moreI've come here twice, and had the vegan Lasagna Bolognese and vegan creamy ravioli with seitan.
Both were impressively tasty and not at all bearing the bizarre flavours of fake cheeses and meat. (I was actually sure they gave me the non vegan lasagna by mistake).
They also make their own vegan ice cream in three flavours (not from soy). That was also one of the best vegan ice creams I've had.
The service was slow on one occasion but fast on the second. It depends on the day you visit I guess. They are very friendly nonetheless. There is reliable wifi, just ask for the password.
Also it's recommended to check if they are open on Mondays since I've heard they can sometimes be off.
Pros: Great vegan menu, Great location (7 minute walk from Termini), Great staff
Cons: Aircon is a bit weak, Slow service at times, Quite small so it can get busy quickly

Favorite food in Rome! - Edit
Went here twice during a 3 day stay in Rome. Happened to walk in after arriving at Stazione Termini because we needed WiFi (which they have and it's good). My travel buddy isn't vegan and we started flipping through the menu and I was delighted to find two pages of vegan options! They're cheese is made from rice and it's some of the best vegan cheese I've ever had. Had the best vegan pizza I've ever had. It had tofu, cardamom, vegan cheese... And other things I can't remember. It was heavenly. Had they're amazing vegan calzone, the seitan escalope with mushroom sauce, and the gnocchi with nutritional yeast. All so amazing. Our two servers spoke great English and helped with wine selection and even brought the vegan cheese packaging from the kitchen to show me. One of the servers was vegan and she said she had to fight for the vegan menu. So go support and eat there! It's amazing.

Excellent vegan options - Edit
Not a veggie venue but has a two page vegan menu and the waitress serving us was vegan (and very helpful). Vegan starters (I had the mixed starter which was hummus, smoked tofu, salad, rice ball, dough balls and mayo), mains (seitan in mushroom sauce with a portion of chips) and a choice of desserts. They also had pasta courses and pizzas (with cheese or without) as well as some other main course options.
Read moreDespite it not being a 'vegan' restaurant it was one of the best meals we had while we were in Rome and wasn't particularly expensive. Recommended for those bored of organic raw bio restaurants with no fries!
Pros: Extensive vegan menu inc. fries, Averagely priced, Friendly (vegan) staff
Cons: Serves meat

So excited to see tofu and tempeh on the menu as meat replacements "typical" Roman dishes. Was good. I had a pasta and friend had pizza with vegan cheese. Both good. Vegan wine too
