The hugest vegan menu I’ve ever seen

Wide selection of drinks and cocktails, and an even wider selection of food and seasonal specials: wow! Staff were great and food was fast and tasty. The calamarata pasta I had wasn’t great, the carbonara was so much better! Some things on the menu they were out of also. The Stromboli pizza roll with vegan ricotta was amazing! Have to come back and try and conquer their lengthy pizza menu! Also had the pistachio tiramisu to go: amazing!

Pros: Very wide selection, Fresh, Different

Cons: Some stuff had ran out, Maybe too much choice?

5* - Tasty vegan Italian food

2024 update:
Not much to say, a bit the same as last year. Visited twice this year and the food was still solid. Nothing to die for but everything is good.

2023:
Vegan Italian restaurant with a large offer of Italian dishes, including a lot of the classics made vegan. They have fresh pasta made in location, pizzas and some interesting stuff like melon with vegan ham.

I was not too impressed by the burrata tho, neither texture not flavor wise.. It was just okish I guess.

Regardless, it's a very nice place, service is also good (can be a bit chaotic when full) but it's definitely a place where you can have a great vegan meal.

I didn't try the pizzas yet so I will go back soon to try them.

Edit after 2 more visits: Tried some more dishes and all were quite good. I like the carbonara particularly even though I think it could have some more smoked tofu on it. All in all it's a great restaurant and totally worth it. Staff is also really nice, so it's a plus.

Large choice and portions Italian style

I had a great dinner here, the menu is very extensive, apart from the pizzas having also the typical Italian, starters,primo and secundo, and for these there is a normal and seasonal card to choose from So I had a hard time choosing. In the end I went for a starter, a stuffed bread with plant based ricotta, and as secundo melon with plant based ham. The starter was ok but quite heavy. The secundo I enjoyed a lot. Portion sizes for both dishes were big and I actually had a hard time finishing it. So I did not pick a dessert, but given the many appealing options I will probably go back another time for these. The device was very friendly and quick, and a nice interior, unfortunately no outdoor seating

Pros: Many options , Great plant based meat and cheese

Cons: Bit too filling starter

Simply delicious!

My husband and I ate at Utopia last night June 19, 2024. We were both very impressed by how delicious and authentic the food tasted! We ordered the cheese plate and the blue cheese was just the right amount of “blue cheese” flavor which, we just could not get our brains around…how did they do that?! And the onions were so sweet and perfect! We also ordered the carbonara…I cannot stress strongly enough how absolutely creaming and perfectly balanced the flavor of this pasta was, really incredible! We also got the Diavolo pizza which was also really tasty, although we were both pretty full and had to take most of the pizza home. I wish we had room for dessert as they also looked amazing! The staff we all very kind, friendly, and efficient. We highly recommend this restaurant, and truly appreciate a fully vegan restaurant!

Pros: Fully vegan, Exceptional food, Kind staff

Cons: None

Fantastic

We got the carbonara, focaccia, and white wine, which were all delicious. It was a little pricier than we expected but it was definitely worth it. Highly recommend.

Pros: Delicious , Friendly staff , Tidy

Cons: Bit pricey

Best birthday dinner

Decided spontaneously to go there for food on my birthday, even tho we didn't have a reservation and it was a busy evening the waiters where quick, friendly and attentive. We ordered from the seasonal and regular menu and both were absolutely outstanding! Can only recommend.

Pros: Service, Seasonal menu, Some of the best vegan food you will have

Really happy with this restaurant

We visited on a Saturday evening. It was very busy and had a great atmosphere. Family of 5 and we had the courgette starter to share, highly recommended. Then pizzas and pasta and youngest had a beyond burger. So there was a good variety. So good to see it so busy there

Pros: Generous pizza size, Good atmosphere , Fully vegan

Best Vegan Pizza

Best Vegan pizza I have ever eat. Even my boyfriend who is not vegan at all loved it and it is the best pizza of his life. We can not wait to go back to Nice to eat to Utopia again.

Pros: The taste and flavors, The large amount of choices, The quality: all ingredients are home made

Insane!!

Incredible selection of totally Italian vegan food. Even my non-vegan father was happy. Delicious pizzas with one of the best pizza bases I've ever tried and an insanely good tomato sauce. We shared the polpetti to start and we all went quiet because it was so good. The cheese alternative they use is one of the best I've ever tried, I believe it's made in house. Really recommend!

Unsatisfied, replacement food

There is quite many pizza, pasta and other Italian options in a full vegan menu. However, they are all heavily made with meat, cheese, sausage, bacon replacement. It is very difficult to find a something vegetable-based here. As you also prefer more fresh tastes, organic feeling, vegetables in your food it is NOT the place to go. Plus, The pizza was very oily. I think it is quite expensive for a toneless atmosphere.

Disappointed and surprised

Based on the reviews, and the prices, my expectations were high. However, apart from a fantastic tiramisu (which makes me put 3 stars instead of 2), the culinary experience was a let down.

The gnocchi was served with a tomato sauce that to me didn't seem seasoned at all. It had a tiny bit of vegan mozzarella in there but I expected more when the menu that said gratinated.

It was a strange selection on the cheese platter, and to me not very enjoyable. I have had better cheeses from a store nearby, so I did not understand the choices made here.

Maybe we were unlucky with our choices, some meals that were served to other guests looked like they might have been more carefully put together. A lot of people did come by the restaurant to pick up pizzas, so maybe those would have been a better choice in hindsight as they seem popular.

I ended up not finishing my main meal because it wasn't enjoyable to me. The tiramisu on the other hand was delicious and I would come back for that!

I am really happy to visit an all vegan restaurant and I really wanted this to be a nice experience. I hope they work on their recipes a little so that it can really showcase great vegan food to everyone!

Good but expensive!

I went with the panelle for the starter and it was okay, a bit too rich. For the main I had the orrechiette which was very good, they make their own pasta, sauces and cheeses which is a nice touch. The dessert was delicious but massive! While the food is good I find it overpriced. I paid 50 euros for a 3 course meal and a soft drink which is definitely on the pricey side!
