Went for dinner here on my recent trip to Philly. Super casual vibe, pretty crowded when we went,…read morebut the service was still fast and really friendly, which made a big difference. Staff felt genuinely welcoming. Food was super flavorful across the board. We got the loaded nachos with jackfruit and the chili stuffed dish - both were honestly delicious. Nothing felt like it was missing just because it was vegan; everything was well-seasoned and satisfying. Overall, loved everything we ordered. Also random note, but I was obsessed with their plates... lowkey wanted to take them home lol.

We had brunch on a Saturday. My friends had dined at Bar Bombon a few times and this was my first…read morevisit. Unfortunately, we were all underwhelmed by the service. Getting seated and taking our order were comic (read: frustrating) "Who's on first" ordeal. To make matters worse, my friends ordered guacamole only to lear a few minutes later that they could not serve it because the avocados did not meet their standards. We appreciated their insistence on serving quality ingredients, but were annoyed the waitress was unaware the item was unavailable. The food we managed to have - yucca appetizer, breakfast tacos, big breakfast, and cauliflower tacos were good. In short, the food is good but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle. It may be worth the trouble for strictly vegan folx.

I had high hopes for my meal here. I love vegetables. But I don't care for smoky flavors, and that…read moreseems to be a key characteristic of the menu. I enjoyed the spicy dan dan noodles, made with delicious mushrooms. Everything else was just fine or too smoky for my tastes. I had a really nice glass of wine with my meal.

I was in Philly for work, and luckily had a free night during a busy conference weekend. I was able…read moreto meet up with a local friend, and Vedge was an awesome vegan find. At first, I was worried we would only be able to get bar seating since neither of us put in a reservation. Luckily, the wait staff was able to seat us at a booth as long as we finished by 8pm---perfect! We weren't super hungry, but we were able to share one of the appetizers and get dishes for each of us. The appetizer we got was the rutabaga fondue, with pretzel bread and pickled veggies. It was an intriguing dish and the pickled veggies added an interesting tang. For my entree, I got the grilled tofu with kanzuri glaze, okinawa potato, sunchoke miso butter, fancy radishes, and shiso. The presentation was very much on point! For the two of us, our entire meal was around $80. A great experience from start to finish!

One of my new favorite vegan places in the world!…read more The atmosphere: moody, skeletons, clips of B-rated horror films playing endlessly on the TVs ... and also glitter, a soft pinky/purply glow, a tremendously welcoming/inclusive vibe. It's playful and cool and fun all at the same time. The staff here? Wildly accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable about their menu, and also exceptional at "reading the room" (eg we were given lots of space to just eat and drink without them checking in us needlessly). DRINKS: I had the Zombie Beach Party (coconut rum, light rum, pineapple, blue curacao, lime). It was a neon blue boozy slushy served in a glass skull topped a little pink umbrella and the juxtaposition of that alone is iiiiiiiiiincredible. (Also these are dangerous; I had two and they went down a little too easily, y'know?). FOOD: At our server's recommendation we got a half order of the Korean BBQ Wings (which were described as "very spicy") and the Tiki Wings ("kind of sweet"). Both are made from crispy seitan and are served with a cucumber ranch. I think they were okay, they kind of tasted similar to be honest, and the Korean wings were definitely not that spicy. We also got the Yokai Fries (fries topped with shishito peppers, togarishi, and yum yum sauce); sooooooo moreish! But ask for more yum yum sauce. The absolute killer (pun intended) here was the fried mac and cheese balls. NO MATTER WHAT, GET THESE. It comes in an order of two, they're tennis ball sized, the mac and cheese is not dry but gooey, the tomato sauce and generously sprinkle of parm bring the whole thing together. I'm fairly confident I could have eaten an order by myself (just like I'm fairly confident I could have had four Zombie Beach Parties). You ARE going out of your way to come here if you find yourself in Philly, friends!

We popped in after a show in the area. It was our first time trying a vegan restaurant, so our…read moreexpectations were nonexistent. This place is beautifully decorated. The vibe is horror movie chic, if ya know what I mean. We were greeted and seated promptly and immediately checked out the menu to see what we should try. We asked for the macaroni balls as an app, but they were sold out. A few minutes later, we were told we could order them bc the chef had made a new batch. Yay!! So, we started with the Mac balls and seitan Korean wings. Our apps arrived and I must admit. I enjoyed the seitan wings more than I did the Mac balls. The Korean BBQ (seitan) wings had an amazing sauce that truly made me forget I was at a vegan restaurant. They were crispy, savory, and just delicious. I decided to go with the gyro and my partner went with the cheese steak for his entree. My gyro was yummy! The impossible beef, lettuce and tomato were reminiscent of a regular gyro. I truly couldn't tell the difference. My partner loved his cheese steak too. Monster vegan is a HIT!! Would we try it again? Absolutely!!

I really liked the mushroom dish, the brussels sprouts, the potato/cauliflower, the empanadas. The eggplant was OK I wish should've had a little bit more. All the drinks were also very good! Service was quick, and food comes out quickly. It's cute inside as well.

This place is really cute, aesthetics wise (if you care about that sort of thing- I never do). Only…read morereason I bumped up another star. I was not pleased with the food at all. Everything was extremely flavorless. I was plant-based for four years and I enjoy vegan food. I am not new to the scene. The menu offers some nice dishes, but flavor was lacking in everything we tried. I also ordered a cold brew and it was served to me bubbling and sparkling. Took a sip to make matters worse and it was stale/something was wrong. Fortunately, they removed it from the bill. This place was a total let down.

I appreciate the owner taking the time to respond, but I do want to clarify one point because I…read moredon't think my feedback was interpreted correctly. My concern wasn't that I wanted more buttercream. It was actually the opposite. I felt the square slice had far too much frosting on top and not nearly enough actual cake, which made the ratio feel unbalanced. The response stated that I "didn't enjoy the ratio (more cake and filling, less buttercream)," but that wasn't what I was trying to say at all. I'm disappointed that my feedback seemed to be misunderstood or misrepresented. I completely understand that ingredient costs have increased, and I genuinely respect PS & Co.'s commitment to using high-quality ingredients. My concern wasn't about the price alone, it was about the value and quality of this particular dessert compared to what I've had from them in the past. More broadly, I hope this isn't part of a larger shift away from some of their trademark desserts. I was also disappointed when the chocolate chip muffin was discontinued, as it was one of my favorites. I still think PS & Co. offers some of the best gluten-free and vegan desserts in the city, which is why I'm sharing this feedback. I hope they continue making the desserts that so many people have come to enjoy.

The service and sweet treats are absolutely incredible. We were greeted by the owner who took her time to walk her through the ingredients, cross contamination possibilities and the menu as a whole. She was patient, informative and seemed genuinely excited to help serve us. It was fairly busy inside with a large dining area and small pantry section. While we didn't sit down for a full meal, the treats we took to go were fabulous. My friend raved that everything was made perfectly and tasted delicious. I tried a bit of everything and you'd have no idea that the items were gluten, sugar and dairy free! The berry muffin was better than "normal" muffins I've had. Everything was so good that after we finished our treats, we went back in for seconds! If you have similar dietary restrictions (or don't) this is a great place to stop with a lovely staff! We will certainly be stopping by again to try the full menu.

One of the best meals I've had in Philly, which is a bold statement for a city with a phenomenal…read morefood scene. A server at a restaurant in another part of town recommended Pietramala. "Even if you're not vegan, go," she advised. Making a day-of reservation for 9:15pm on a Saturday in June, I walked in and was seated right away by a kind staff member. Within minutes, my glass of water was full and my equally kind server was walking me through the menu. The menu elevates vegetables and they source their ingredients from 16 farms nearby. (Most are in Pennsylvania.) Not overly hungry, I ordered two mid dishes and a dessert. (The menu is organized by small, mid, large, and dessert.) Each dish was masterfully executed and full of flavor. Suzuki Farm Kyuri Cucumbers were perfect. They come out as four large cucumber halves with all the fixings. Don't be shy. It's easier to eat them with your fingers per recommended by my server. The next dish was the Urban Roots Farm Sugar Snap Peas. The crunch of the peas with the wasabina oil complimented each other well. For desert, I ordered the Bomboloni with pistachio cream. The warm texture of the dough and creaminess of the pistachio cream was divine. I ordered another. It may be my favorite dessert I've ever had at any restaurant anywhere. If you love creative and quality food, go here. You won't regret it!

My boyfriend and I walked in on a Saturday night for a celebration dinner. They were very busy and…read morethey didn't have any open reservations but when we called and told them we would arrive in 30 mins, they saved two of the bar seats for us. For drinks, we ordered the elderflower shrub and sanguinello to drink. I liked the elderflower shrub since it was sweet and refreshing (slightly carbonated) but the sanguinello tasted bitter and medicinal. Since my bf really didn't like his drink, the server was nice enough to let us change our amaro drink to another elderflower shrub. For food, we ordered sourdough focaccia with tomato xo sauce (similar to chili crisp oil) and the potatoes dish. The sourdough was fluffy and delicious and the xo sauce gave it a nice flavor but it did make the bread greasy. The potatoes dish tasted good because of the creamy sauce that was drizzled on top. We also ordered the kyuri cucumbers and durum ravioli. The kyuri cucumbers had a fermented ramp ranch that gave the cucumbers a nice creaminess and the garnishes (spring onion and giardiniera) gave the cucumbers a nice texture. The durum ravioli had a cheesy taste due to the cultured cashew ricotta but I wasn't a fan. Overall, we would order the potatoes and cucumbers again, maybe we would order the sourdough focaccia (if you don't mind the greasiness), but we wouldn't order the durum ravioli again. For dessert, we ordered the macadamia ice cream with strawberries, shaved ice with rhubarb, and basil. Even though the ice cream was unique, we also wouldn't order it again. The basil flavor was a bit strong and the dessert tasted mostly like macadamia nuts and strawberries rather than ice cream. The ambience was nice though and even though we were not able to get a table, we had a nice view of the chefs' cooking. We would come here again since the menu changes based on what's in season. It was my second time at Pietramala and it was my boyfriend's first time and it won't be our last. :)

Everything feels carefully made without losing the ease of a great fast casual meal. The fact that it is entirely plant-based feels almost incidental because the food is so satisfying on its own. Then there are the tehina shakes, which may be the best part. The original, Turkish coffee, mint cookie, and chocolate pretzel are all incredibly smooth, rich, and never too sweet.
