Best vegan italian food I've had in a long time!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Their angel hair pasta with the vegan pesto and vegan parmesean was DELICIOUS!! 👌 Even my husband who is not vegan couldn't get over how good it was! We also had the Beet salad, but I had mine with a side of Italian dressing and vegan parmesean because their vinegarette contains honey, and the salad was also delicious. We also shared the vegan banana cake. The cake was okay- a bit dry, but the coconut cream frosting and chocolate drizzle were so good, not too sweet. Our server and the rest of the staff were very nice and accommodating. We loved this place and will definitely return the next time we're in Big Bear. 😋

Very Helpful Staff, Can Veganize Lots!

Many options can be veganized easily! The staff is friendly and accommodating, just ask for what you want. They carry vegan Parmesan and offer vegan pesto. Went with my kids and husband and all were happy!

Delicious Italian food

We were visiting Big Bear and we were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday. I am so glad we came here. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Our waiter and waitress helped us pick out what vegan options we could choose from. We had warm bread dipped in olive oil. I had a charred eggplant pasta with veggies and my husband had a veggie pasta with arugula. We had a lovely bottle of wine and a vegan dessert. A wonderful experience.
