Amazing Italian experience - Edit
I never thought I would ever be able to smell cacio cavallo the same way and for it to be vegan also! They had a variety of authentic Italian dishes with a vegan spin to them. I had the suppli (which were wonderful) and the bucatini in a cacio cheese and pepper sauce. Amazing.

Pros: Huge menu, Authentically Italian, Nice staff
Cons: I dislike the decor of the restaurant

Simply amazing - Edit
I said to the server, "I've been vegan for a couple of years now, and it still blows my mind how people can make such amazing things with plants," and I still stand by that point. The pasta I had was simply the nicest pasta I've had on ages, if ever.
Read moreHowever, it has a price tag to match. I had a main, a drink, and a dessert, and it came to £35 with the optional service charge included! Even in London, I don't think I paid that much. It's a small business, and the staff were very friendly and attentive (and one had a Cowboy Bebop t-shirt on, always happy to support a fellow anime fan) so I'm happy to pay the tip but I don't think I'll be visiting again for a while.
If you're in Edinburgh, I highly recommend checking this place out. Just be prepared for it to not be cheap.

The best restaurant I've ever been to - Edit
The staff was very friendly. The food was incredible. We've been here in the beginning of September, and it's now November, and I still dream about the food I had there. It's the perfect vegan Italian restaurant. If you have the chance, go there and thank me later.
Read morePros: The food is tasted truly like authentic Italian, Relaxed vibe, Friendly staff
Cons: It's in Edinburgh and I live in the Netherlands

Great independent Italian - Edit
It was really important on my trip.to try independent fully vegan restaurants and I love Italian food!
Read moreSora Lella had lovely polite staff who were attentive, and the menu had an amazing choice of pizzas and pasta, which I just don't get where I live!
We enjoyed the pasta more. I chose a tomato based pasta which had a seitan bacon. Delish. Would visit again if in Edinburgh.
Pros: Staff attentiveness, Menu choice
Cons: Price is a little on the higher side

So good! - Edit
Incredible Italian Food!
Read moreWould absolutely recommend.
We had the Bruschetta, a ‘special’ garlic and truffle penne pasta dish and the Amatriciana Pizza.
The pizza crust was some of the best I’ve had as a vegan, and the flavour balance of each meal was on-point. Can’t fault it!
Pros: Food flavours , Service

Best pizza and gnocchi I've ever eaten - Edit
The title says it all, we couldn't believe it wasn't vegan. If you bring someone without telling them, they wouldn't notice.

Blew me out of the park - Edit
My bf lost his marbles and so did I at the incredible blend of flavours of the Parmigiana Pizza and Pasta Quattro Formaggio al Funghi 😋❤️
Read moreWe finished the meal with the Tiramisu and the Affogato! Wow! Gosh darn it, I’ve never had a tiramisu truly taste so good and exactly how a tiramisu should taste! 👌 My compliments to the chef!
Warning! Do not leave Edinburgh without having at least one meal here!

Overpriced. - Edit
Was visiting Edinburgh for the weekend and due to the great reviews I gave this place a go. It was quite nice but considering the quality of the food, it was extremely overpriced. For two starters, four mains, two desserts, two cans of pop and two alcoholic drinks, the bill came to £155. I was excited to try the tiramisu but sadly I’ve made better myself at home. We all tried a bit of each other’s food and the most disappointing dish was definitely the pizza so if you go I would avoid that. Overall ok meal but for the price it wasn’t worth it.

Cons: Price

Amazing! - Edit
I was struggling with a full vegan menu where everything sounded good so the waiter very nicely asked me questions and suggested something for me… and it was great! I’ve forgotten the name, a pasta with a creamy sauce and vegan sausage in it. I went with two friends and both of their pastas looked so good too. I would absolutely go back!

authentic italian food - Edit
been to novapizza and really enjoyed it so wanted to try this place and it didn’t disappoint! good portion sizes for the main courses, no need to worry about ingredients not being vegan.
Read moreonly negative would be the desserts felt like they were slightly overpriced for what they were but still really good.

Fantastic takeout! - Edit
The best food I’ve had in Scotland since arriving more than a week ago! Delicious flavours, prepared well. We ordered delivery so it took a bit of time, but it was well worth it. I recommend the penne arrabiata for sure! Everyone I’m with enjoyed their pizzas and calzones, including the non-vegans who didn’t think they would!
Read morePros: Great flavours, Prepared well, Tasty
Cons: A bit of a wait for delivery, Pricy

Great food, even when delivered! - Edit
The five of us (two non-vegans, one who normally doesn't like vegan pizza) were very impressed by this place. I personally have very low expectations of vegan pizza. The cheese is usually awful, the toppings usually store-bought, it's often cold. But Sora's was great! Everything tasted fantastic, everything came hot. Even the penne was good which I found really surprising as pasta normally doesn't travel well and most places over-cook the noodles until they're a soggy mess. Not Sora, though! We'll be ordering from them again whenever we get the chance I'm sure. They're probably my favourite pizza place in Edinburgh, now.
Read morePros: Fantastic food, Properly done pasta, Travels well
Cons: A tad expensive, Preparation time was longer, but worth it

Favourite vegan Italian - Edit
This is the best vegan Italian I’ve had. The gnocchi and garlic focaccia (note that the normal focaccia is a flat bread whereas this one was raised and fluffy) were amazing, and the wine menu is also great. Such a lovely atmosphere inside, but it’s a small restaurant so make sure to book a table.

Worth a visit once if not had vegan Italian before - Edit
3.5 stars. The food is fine, but quite expensive for what it is and definitely a bit overrated in my opinion, won't be rushing back, sort of thing I go to every few years with someone who really wants to try it. £72 for two starters, two mains, chips, no drinks 😬 Maybe just not to my taste, as the restaurant has been a finalist for several Italian awards. Pasta portions are generous, and the truffle chips with mayo were very tasty. It's an impressive menu and good to have an 100% vegan Italian restaurant. It's a small place so make sure you book, we saw so many people being turned away. Not very good for private or romantic datey, as you're very close to other tables and have folks standing around near you waiting for takeaways.

Cheesecake is out of heaven - Edit
We had the Pizza Dumplings for Antipasti, which were delicious though a bit on the spicy side. For main we can really recommend the Ortolana and the Amatriciana , but probably every Pizza is amazing, because the Mozzarella is so authentic!
Read moreBut the clear highlight of our visit was the Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake, which was literally the best cake (vegan and non vegan) I ever ate. We ordered a second piece right away. You have to try it!
Pros: The cheesecake, Free tab water included, The authentic vegan cheese

I’m giving 4 stars just because is all vegan - Edit
We were expecting a fantastic dinner, but instead, the main courses were rather underwhelming. We ordered the pasta amatriciana and penne alla vodka, but both tasted the same. It left much to be desired, to say the least. I’m giving it 4 stars because I love supporting fully vegan places around the world, but the quality really needs improvement. And really expensive.
