At least some effort - Edit
Because this is probably the best spot to eat as a vegan in Rovinj in the month Marcello hasn't opened I give Tipico three stars. They have some vegetarian starters and a vegetarian section in the menu of four dishes. They can all be made vegan. The stir fried vegetables with rice as a starter was delicious. Fresh ingredients of good quality and well seasoned.
But the vegetarian dishes are neither creative nor satisfying. Apparently the chef thinks vegetarians and therefore vegans only eat salad. Only one of the four dishes is with rice. The others are just vegetables and leafs. I was advised from the waiter not to order pasta in a vegan version because there is apparently no vegan sauce in the kitchen.
Pros: Some vegan options
Cons: Not really catering for vegans

Delicious! Friendly Staff! - Edit
We visited during lunch time and they were offering two different vegan dishes: a tofu dish and a stuffed risotto. We ordered one of each and both were delicious! Good portions. The staff were friendly and they definitely understood what vegan meant. Definitely check this place out!
Pros: Delicious, Vegan-friendly
Cons: No outdoor seating

handy if you're vegan - Edit
Lovely tofu dish but they only served the tofu on a bed of salad and wasn't that filling. Would've enjoyed vegetable risotto with it but they only served the tofu on some salad. If you are starving this might not fill you up. Flavour was lovely, little bit expensive but affordable regardless.
Pros: flavour , handy for vegans
Cons: need to reserve seats, bit expensive , might not be filing for big eaters

good food but not particularly vegan friendly - Edit
came here on holiday with my sister (vegan) and parents (omnis) however there was a lot of misunderstanding, such as we were told the only vegan option was the feta dish, when challenging this we were told there were 2 vegan options but 1 had run out. the other dish was a salad which was disappointing. my parents enjoyed their meal but not ideal for vegan food.
Pros: lovely location , good range of vegetarian food
Cons: lack of vegan options , lack of understanding of veganism

Delicious Food with vegan options - Edit
Tipico is located in the old town of Rovinj and offers a beautiful atmosphere. There is an open kitchen and a young team working for you. They offer 4-5 vegetarian options, a few of them are vegan. If you are not sure, don't hesitate to ask the friendly staff for further information. I had Tofu with risotto and vegetables and it was very well done.
Pros: Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, Quality Food
Cons: Limited vegan options

Saved by Tipico! - Edit
There are slim pickings for vegans in Rovinj so this was a great find. There are limited vegan options but what is available is very tasty. Try the smoked tofu with risotto on a bed of roasted vegetables.
Pros: really tasty food, helpful staff, lovely location in old town
Cons: limited vegan options

A bright spot in Croatia for a vegan. - Edit
The staff were kind, accommodating, and made a vegetarian meal for my wife and family and a vegan meal for me. My vegan risotto was the star of the show. Do not hesitate to go. Otherwise, keep eating pasta and cheeseless pizza!
Pros: Great food. , Reasonable price
