Average plus - Edit
The place has good vibes and crowd. Staff super nice but menu slightly confusing and taste was somehow not as great as expected. Still a good place for vegan fast food. My expectation was maybe too high in the first place.
Read morePros: Staff, Atmosphere
Cons: The menu, The smoochy patty in the burger

Not what we've expected - Edit
Of course, were glad that there is plenty of vegan options in Bologna, but this one was actually disappointing. The staff was very friendly and nice and we got our meals quick but they were pretty small and also tasteless. Would sadly not recommend it!

Really disappointing :( - Edit
We must’ve ordered the wrong things because our food was awfully bland and stodgy. Genuinely disappointed because it was busy so seemed like a great spot. It’s a tiny space and the food took a long time to come out - we asked for a side of veg which didn’t arrive until after we had paid the bill and stood up to leave, and it was only carrots and greens.
Read moreAsked for tap water and was given a key and a cup to go to the Zem Garden opposite and let myself in to fill up from the tap in the bathroom, a bit strange really.
Pros: Absolutely lovely staff, Cute artsy vibe, Cool art on the wall outside
Cons: Bland / stodgy food, Took ages for tiny portions to come out, No toilet

Tasty but stingy - Edit
The flavours were really good, however the tortellini portion was VERY small for the price, it felt like a tapa. This is something that unfortunately happens a lot in vegan places and in my opinion prevents some people from going vegan.

Perfect Food - Edit
Small Bistro with all vegan Food. We went for local options such as Tortelloni, Tortellini and Tigella and we loved it. We tried the cakes (Sacher and Della Nonna) and those were also very good.

ZEM Bistro “DNF” 🙁 - Edit
We must have ordered the wrong things from the menu because everything we had was surprisingly terrible. The Lambrusco was served flat and warm, we only took one sip. The tortellini was very bland and I had to add salt to make it palatable. The pasta was so bad we took 1-2 bites and did not finish it. We ordered a beetroot item and received a spinach item, which wasn’t good at all. We tried to order other things at the start but they were out of many of their menu items. I actually regretted eating here, sadly.

Ricerca e valori - Edit
Piccolo locale che offre piatti realizzati con materie prime biologiche e coltivate nella loro azienda agricola situata a Soliera. Abbiamo provato la grigliata contadina la quale ci ha piacevolmente sorpreso in quanto composta da salsicce, würstel e arrosto tutti realizzati con l’utilizzo di legumi e cereali. Il servizio è stato accogliente e l’ambiente trasmette la forza degli ideali in cui credono, e che noi condividiamo.

Ottimo cibo, le porzioni un po' piccole - Edit
Locale piccolino, curato anche nei coperti fuori. Personale gentile, cibo buono e vasta scelta. I prezzi sono buoni ma le porzioni decisamente striminzite.

The food is vegan, but not really good - Edit
The food was rather bland. It was not to expensive. They didn't have many choices for non alcoholic beverages, only juices and Kombucha. We had the lasagna and the falafel. The falafel were pretty dry. The lasagna didn't taste like much. The person's next to us had the burgers ant weren't to happy either
Read morePros: Everything was vegan, The service was good and friendly , The food was inexpensive

Gentilezza e piatti della tradizione top - Edit
Dopo un po' di incertezza siamo riusciti a prendere il nostro pranzo da asporto perché il locale era strapieno e sinceramente capisco il perché!!
Read moreTutto semplicemente meraviglioso, sono rimasta super soddisfatta dalla gentilezza e dai sapori.
ps: vi consiglio la tigella con la rapa, spaziale!!
Pros: Gentilezza, Prodotti molto buoni e sapori tradizionali, le tigelle!!!

Lovely squash and chard
Kumbucha nice 👌 too
Tortellini was plain and needed the vegetables to make them complete. 🍝
The restaurant could work on soft furnishings but really lovely little place and worth visiting! 💓

Good food - Edit
Loved the tortelloni itself, but the seitan on top lacked a bit of flavour and wasn't a necessary addition I think. The tortelloni with cream tastes a bit ham-like. Good taste, but be aware it's quite heavy.
Read moreI can recommend to have the seasonal veggies on the side for some balance/diversity. It's a good portion, well prepared and for only €4.
They don't serve tea.
Love the ambiance!
Inside it offers space to like 14 persons.
Monday around 2 it was packed.
Tuesday around 12.30 there was nobody ...

Cute bistrot, great vegan food - Edit
We wanted to try the tortellini but they didn't have any that evening, so we had (pumpkin filled) tortelloni instead, along with the the peasant's grill. Both were great. All the sausages etc. in the grill seemed to be homemade and all from different, interesting ingredients. I would definitely have it again.
Read moreDecent beer and wine choices.
The service was charming.
Pros: Great Italian food, Charming service, Cute setting

So cute! - Edit
I’m a fan of La Zappa e il mestolo for long, I love their burgers and I’m so happy they opened this little bistrot. It’s very cozy, delicious fresh and seasonal veggies, creative and healthy burgers. I also had the vegan erbazzone, something very typical but almost impossible to find vegan! Totally recommend!!!

Il menu è vario e segue la stagione, si specializzano in burger e panini molto buoni.
Consigliatissimi i tortellini e i biscotti al cioccolato e sale, non vedo l’ora di provare i tortelloni .

Disappointing - Edit
Unfortunately our experience at Zem was a bit disappointing.
Read moreWe had the tortellini - which was ok - and the grill platter - which we didn't like so much. Too much 'meat' to little veggies. And the taste of the meat substitutes was not enjoyable. Maybe if we had chosen a different meal, we would have had a different experience.
It's a rather small restaurant and if your looking for somewhere to really sit down, chill and share a nice dinner I would not go here. It's more of a fast food/take away place.
