Unimpressive

I was really disappointed with the food, the portions, and the overall experience.

Not to be missed

While traveling I eat vegan but I love to taste the flavors of the place. This informal place in the heart of Pigneto is fantastic if you love Italian cuisine. Recommended, not only for vegans.

Solide vegane Küche

Kleine aber feine Speisekarte. Hauptsächlich italienische Küche, aber auch internationale Gerichte

I tried many..

I tried many different vegan places while in Rome, they were all great but this one, I don’t know exactly why, was at the bottom of my list.
Their food is still great, and the prices were ok too. But I didn’t like the area too much

Pros: Nice food

Cons: I didn’t like the area at night

Good desserts

We came here after the gelato shop we were originally going to was closed (even though google said it was open). We had the tiramisu and the rollercake- both were really good.

So and so

The food was ok, the service was ok, everything was just ok. I mean, you can go if you’re starving, but there is not something you will remember like “oh my gut”.

Not so wow

I was ok, eatable but nothing wow. Seitan stew was ok, had some flavour. But the rest not so much.

Pros: Seitan dish

Cons: A bit bland some of them, A bit expensive for what you get

Good restaurant

The main meal was not as good as the dessert. I would totally recommend the tiramisu but the gnocchi was not so incredible, found it very simple as I could have done it by myself.

Probably the best Tiramisu!

Nice Restaurant with friendly staff in the alternative Pigneto Community. Food was delicious and if you eat there you have to order the outstanding Tiramisu!

Potential

We had a really great entree - deep fried frittata. Was delicious.
I ordered the gnocchi and my partner had the fettuccini, both were nice but could be better. Gnocchi had little flavour and was pretty much just olive oil and gnocchi.
We were the only ones there at lunch on a Sunday so it was a bit of an awkward experience but service was very very friendly and played cool music in a really cool little restaurant.
Three stars just for bland food

Cons: Out of the city

Super Good

Best vegan food we’ve had in Rome. Relaxed setting, unpretentious. There were so many choices on the menu that sounded great, it was hard to choose. I’d suggest ordering multiple plates to share. Really enjoyed the tiramisu, and the fresh bread was delicious. Would love to go back and try more of their offerings.

Fine dinner

Fine dinner between the tradition and innovation. We did order everything to share since portions are not small. TROFIE AL PESTO DI NOCCIOLE E POMODORI SECCHI / FETTUCCINE AL RAGU DI SEITAN / Polpette and Tofu cake. I am not big fan of seitan but liked.

Fantastic

At this 100% vegan restaurant they are very passionate about veganism! On the walls they show very funny & creative cartoons to promote a natural lifestyle. As a starter I ate a veggie hummus which was served with crunchy 🍞 sticks, a few vegetables & healthy germinated alfalfa seeds on the side. It was very delicious & I was happy that it did not contain any extra oil as usually, because I love low oil vegetarian food!!! After the 🌟 ter they served a veg pasta "fettuccine ragout de seitan"!!! As a second side dish I had two potatoe croquetas with 🍅 soup & fresh olives! At the end of this lovely menu I was served an amazing 🍋 veg joghurt dessert with chocolate powder on top!! Wow!! They also serve fantastic San Benedetto natural water! The decoration of the restaurant is very playful & creative, they have put many old school movie cinema posters. They certainly like funny robots and scary dinosaurs! I will definitely recommend this place to all vegans & I will come back as soon as possible!!! The service was very fast, professional & friendly! Thanks for participating in the vegan revolution to liberate our 🐄🐖🐔 friends!! PEACE!!

Really nice food

We went here for an evening meal and were really happy with our food. It was tasty, especially the starters, and the pasta was nice. The service wasn’t very friendly and they were so understaffed we had to ask for our bill three times before it came. But other than being a bit slow, we’d recommend it for a lovely meal.

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Vegan Italian menu, Lots of choice

Cons: Unfriendly service , Slow, No vegetables with the mains

Great vegan food!

Absolutely loved it. It can be frustrating to find good vegan food in Italy, but “So What?” Did not disappoint! Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Changing specials and decent prices. No much more I can say, I highly recommend this place!

Pros: All vegan, Desserts

Average food

Went here as the reviews are so good! I would honestly say unless you are very near by, so not go out the way. There is plenty of vegan food in Rome which is much better! The food was really simple and plain. You get no veg or anything with the main dish and it was all pretty tasteless. For a vegan only restaurant I was really surprised at the standard compared to other restaurants I have eaten in since visiting Rome

Delicious!

Delicious! The best vegan restaurant we went to in Rome (we went to five). The food was all delicious and classic Italian, the décor was great and the staff very friendly. We had the gnocchi – soo good, some pasta and the meatballs – all were delicious. Some portions were a bit small but the menu is designed like a classic Italian one, so I think you're meant to have several courses

Pros: Delicious Italian food, Friendly staff, Funky decor

Buon cibo vegan

Locale pittoresco, alle pareti locandine di trash movies tipo Godzilla e Gorgo. Personale gentile e disponibile e cibo ottimo. Speciali le polpette al sugo!
