I sent the pesto back! - Edit
This place is so overrated. You’ve been warned! Also after eating there I found they’ve had a lot of health code violations. Gross.
Read moreI never do this but I sent the pesto back. I went on a weeknight and the restaurant was not very busy. I ordered the vegan pesto, basil and pesto are one of my favorite foods but theirs was so greasy and tasteless that I actually sent it back.
The service was slow, so by the time our server came back to check on us my date had finished most of their meal.
I got the penne vodka with sausage instead and it was much better than the pesto but still not good enough that I feel the need to return anytime soon. It’s also expensive for the portion size and quality.

Great meal! - Edit
Our group of 8 had dinner here (4 of us are vegans) and loved it. They have clearly labeled vegan dishes and are also very accommodating to any requests. Their house made pasta (I had the cavatelli primavera) was amazing! The wait staff was excellent, everything attended to on a crazy busy night. After our meal our waitress brought out complimentary Limoncello for the table. Such a nice surprise! We will absolutely be back.

Will be back! - Edit
Had a salad with strawberry vinaigrette, and cavatelli with pine nut pesto and vegetables. Truly delicious. Will go back to try the pizza, and will be trying to replicate that pesto dish at home. They had a few marked vegan dishes, but I think could have adapted others. I really appreciate the quality of this vegan food! The others in my party very much enjoyed their (non-vegan) dishes as well.

Good food, a bit expensive - Edit
Tasty food. The website is still called Trattoria Zooma, but it says Trattoria Appia outside on the front of the restaurant and the menu..

Delicious and very accommodating! - Edit
We were pleasantly surprised to see 2-3 vegan options on the menu plus they are willing to convert almost any item to vegan if possible. They stock vegan cheeses, sausage and some dairy. The pasta is made on the premises, many without egg. Service excellent. Food delicious! Not too many high end restaurants go the extra mile like they do to accommodate a vegan diet. Will definitely return.

👍 - Edit
Had a delicious strawberry and pistachio salad with subbed vegan cheese, and the vegan asparagus, pesto and cheese pizza. Both were 10/10. Not sure what vegan mozz they are using but it’s great. Can’t wait to try the vegan pastas next

Adorable Italian restaurant in the heart of federal hill - 3 vegan entree options and 2 more entrees that can be made vegan. Delicious pasta!!! Great place if you have non-veg family or friends visiting town or want to celebrate a special occasion.

Good food and portion sizes! - Edit
It’s hard to find italian places with vegan options on the menu. While they only have a couple pasta dish choices and pizzas, it’s much better than nothing. I had the rigatoni al a vodka and it was delicious and a very generous portion! The service was very friendly and the outdoor seating was a cute atmosphere. Just make sure you specify vegan when ordering as some of the vegan dishes can be served non vegan as well!
Read morePros: Good portions , Friendly Staff, Amazing taste
Cons: A little pricey, Not many options

Exceptional vegan options - Edit
They has at least 5 vegan options from pizza to pasta and even risotto. If those don't work they're happy to make changes. I got the vegan rigatoni all vodka and added vegan sausage and it was absolutely delicious and rich. They do have vegan wines as well.
