Vegan Italy meals

Very friendly stuff and clear marked vegan options. Furthermore they took time to adopt some other meals fully vegan. Reaaaaly great!

Good but expensive

Food was really good. The pasta was amazing and freshly made also the tiramisu was really good. It was however not worth the money. We paid €50 for the both of us (just starters, one tiramisu and two pasta’s). For Sri Lanka that is a lot. I think it is due to the fact that the place is so touristic, but that of course doesn’t excuse the high prices.

Pros: The food, The friendly staff, Knowledge about vegan and vegetarian

Cons: The prices

Great Italian

If you're looking for a change from curries 3 times a day, this is a great palate cleanser! Lots of vegan options and the waiting staff understood veganism. The main guy was really keen to become vegan himself and rescues many animals. The pasta was freshly made and really yum!

Pros: Fresh pasta, Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: No vegan puddings

Average Italian Food, limited vegan choices.

Does bruschetta (which was by far the best thing on the menu), a couple of tomato based pasta dishes, a carbonara that can be made without cream and does not serve pizza. Not the best Italian we had in Sri Lanka (for pizza checkout Dolce Italia in Colombo!) but decent enough.

Lekker Italiaans eten, leuke plek

De inrichting is industrieel, het eten wordt allemaal vers gemaakt ook de pasta, meerdere vega en vegan opties die ook op de kaart goed worden vermeld, ik had spaghetti besteld, de kok kwam naar ons toe om te vragen of we helemaal vegan wilde eten want er werden eieren gebruikt voor de spaghetti maar niet voor de penne . Het eten was heerlijk, ontzettend aardig personeel

Pros: Meerdere vegan opties, Lekkere sapjes , Leuke inrichting

Delicious Italian Food

After several months of travelling in India, and having had several pasta pomodoro dishes that were lacking in tomato and made slightly spicy, it was wonderful to find The Pasta Factory here in Sri Lanka!

We were enticed in by the vegan signs on the menu, and we tried penne with tomato and basil - deliciously simple, just as it should be. The owner, Paola, was there when we visited and she has a good understanding of what vegans will and won’t eat (as does the chef), and she advised us to opt for the penne as the in-house pasta contains eggs. Note that she told us the gnocchi contains no egg; great to hear.

While we were there, we also had a tasty bruschetta. Note that they make two types of bread for the bruschetta and garlic bread, one of which is not vegan as it contains milk to make it more fluffy, so make sure you check if you’re vegan.

There are only a handful of places in Fort, Galle that label options as vegan-friendly, so this was not only a welcome find for us, as vegans, but also lovely to get some authentic tasting Italian food!

Pros: Range is vegan options , Excellent Italian cuisine, Lovely restaurant and people

Cons: Not fully vegan or veggie
