Fantastic vegan Italian - Edit
Vegan traditional Italian is hard to find but this is one of the best I've ever had. They have vegan versions of so many Italian classics. My calzones was perfect and my partner's gnocchi was also really great. The food is heavy but that's to be expected. Prices are not super cheap but reasonable. Dog friendly. Friendly staff. I think the interior design could be improved a bit, but that's a minor quibble. Good wines and cocktails, but be warned that they check ID even for people in their 30s!

Great, as always - Edit
Was going to go for 4 starts as they’d run out of chips - but as a result we had space for their fab puddings for the first time!

Alright but a bit heavy - Edit
The food was good, but a bit on the heavy side (too
Read moremuch cheese and fake meats for my taste). They had a lovely red wine (biodynamic) that paired nicely with the pasta. Worth a try.

Vegan mitten in Edinburgh - Edit
Man muss nicht fragen, was es für vegane Optionen gibt, weil alles vegan ist. 🙏🏻 Bedienung absolut freundlich, nettes Ambiente. Lokal sehr klein, dafür hat es eine familiäre Atmosphäre. 😊

Do not miss this!! - Edit
Possibly the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to. Absolutely delicious food and clearly very high quality fresh ingredients. Often people make Italian food far too rich - adding too much cream, butter, cheese, etc. But this was perfect. Also probably the most extensive menu of any fully vegan restaurant that I’ve seen. And it’s family owned. What more can you ask for!

Great pasta - Edit
I was very excited to get vegan quattro formaggi pasta here since the vegan option at most Italian places is just tomato sauce pasta. The pizza and tiramisu were also good

Enjoyed it but didn't love it! - Edit
As someone else said, maybe my expectations were too high for to the hype! The food was enjoyable but it didn't blow me away. Me and my friend both had pasta dishes and they were tasty, with the rocket salad to share, which was plentiful. The desserts were actually really good, better than the mains in my opinion, the cheesecake was delicious. The place is quite small and the service was professional but not overly warm compared to other places we ate at over the weekend. All in all, would come back but wasn't blown away.

Love this 100% vegan Italian place - Edit
If you love Italian food and want it to be 100% vegan, Sora Lella is your place to go!
Read moreVery small restaurant (who does not like it cramped, may not feel so comfortable) - with soooo delicious Italian food. Especially the white pizza is appealing.
We had the Bruschetta Gorgonzola, Gnocchi Salsiccia e Crema Tartufata, Pizza Carbonara + Penne Quattro Formaggi e Funghi.
Very yummy!
I definitely recommend to book a table in advance!
Sora Lella's owner Maddalena Pezone was so friendly, it just made me smile :)

So delicious! Consider getting a reservation - Edit
The pasta we ate was all awesome. So well-made and delicious.
Read moreIt’s a small space, and it seems it can get all booked up for dinner, even on weekdays. So consider a reservation, especially if you’re dining with more than two. But if you’re going between lunch and dinner, especially with two people, you probably don’t need one.

Good pizza & pasta - Edit
We enjoyed the carbonara pizza and the Zozzona Pasta, both tasted great. The waiter was really helpful and explained us differences between the dishes and organised us a table although we hadn't booked. We also had the ice cream with baileys dessert. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very cosy, we liked it there.

Great food! - Edit
The food was lovely. We had a pizza and a pasta dish. The carbonara was really creamy and the pasta was cooked well. I had one of the white pizzas which had mushrooms and olives on, this is the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had.
Read moreThe restaurant is pretty small and there was a loud group in when we were there. No fault of the restaurant but we couldn’t hear each other talking. Just an FYI if you’re looking for a quiet dining experience or you’re noise sensitive.
NUT ALLERGY: I have a peanut allergy, all of the pasta dishes have a nut allergen symbol next to them, this is due to almonds and some of the sauces. There are no peanuts in the kitchen.
All in all it was a good experience and I would go back for the food. Only down side was the small space and it just made it really loud and not relaxing. But again no fault of the restaurant or service that we received.

Yummy - Edit
What’s with the amazing Italian vegan restaurants in Edinburgh? Seriously, another vegan pizza better than what I had in Italy so far! Had the “meat festival” and really enjoyed it, also the side salads are really good. Book a table in advance since it is also a very popular restaurant.
