Each course was better than the last. Classic Ayurveda philosophy of using all the flavors in each course. It was very filling, and too much for one person so I ended up taking some back to the hotel to enjoy later. There was only one waiter and the place was packed so it took a while for my food to come out. But he was very apologetic about the wait and I honestly didn't mind. In Ayurveda medicine it is best to eat slowly and enjoy each bite. I recommend this place if you're looking for more than just a quick bite, and enjoy the experience.

One meal will serve two people... EASILY (and deliciously). You will over "Dosa" for sure! ;) The service is pretty slow, but the staff is super friendly. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy your food that comes out one at a time. Check out the ruins around the corner when you come out. Just stand there for a while to digest all that food. (Don't feed the goddam cats you tourist!)

A yummy thing happened on the way to the Colosseum …read more.. Pane & Vino is a tiny sandwich shop near il Colosseo that specializes in local porchetta (stuffed pork loin) and is run by the friendliest owner of all time. He gets to know every customer on a first name basis. I'd go back more to see him than to have a sandwich. Seriously, he's pretty awesome. The menu is simple and focused on sandwiches featuring their famous porchetta so we tried two recommendations from the peppy proprietor. While waiting, I got a miniature bottle of Chardonnay and my spouse sipped a Coke Zero. The Traiano Porchetta sandwich (12€ - 4 stars) is an original creation of the out-going owner with a mighty Mustard-flavored blend of Roast Pork, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Grilled Eggplant. I like mustard and, therefore, liked this specialty much more than my wife, but we ended up ignoring portions of the so-so bun. Pane & Vino Special Porchetta (12€ - 4 stars) was a huge sandwich with the sliced Roast Pork Porchetta plus Mozzarella Cheese, Grilled Eggplant, Grilled Peppers, Mushrooms, Lettuce, and Mayo on classic Italian Pane. It needed more mayonnaise or a sprinkle of balsamic and olive oil for my tastes, but there was no denying it was a hearty hero. There are lots of pane bread and sandwich shops in Rome, but there is only one -- Pane & Vino -- run by the most welcoming of owners ever. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I'll be sure to stop in for a casual chat and some yummy porchetta sandwiches on the way to the Colosseum.

It may be easy to miss up a small driveway, but once you find it it's like walking into someone's kitchen. The host was friendly and accommodating and speaks English. We had the mixed vegetable plate as well as chicken tibs. I was disappointed that they were out of Doro Wot because I like spice and this was 7/8 o'clock so get there early if that's what you're looking for. The lentil dishes were especially good but I missed the heat that I'm used to at home. I hear that Europeans are less tolerant of spucybso perhaps Mesob tones it down for their usual customers. Be forewarned: the restaurant switched to CASH ONLY about a week ago according to the proprietor which would have been nice to know before I pulled out my credit card. All in all, I would definitely return on my next trip to Rome.

They usually take reservations only; but you can sometimes get lucky (like we did as a table for two) by waiting before they opened for a walk-in spot. We did have to get there before their official 6pm dinner time opening and wait 45 min to get a seating time on a weekday (a line was already forming prior to 6pm), but it was well worth it. (Plus it was nicely air conditioned! Which was rare in center city Rome) Food wise, we got their zucchini soup, braised duck with plums, carbonara, and tiramisu. My husband really enjoyed the braised duck, and I ordered the carbonara, which was especially delicious -- it was a perfect pasta texture, nice and eggy, with small bits of crispy fried pork mixed in! It was so so good. I wish we could've tried more pastas here!! They looked so simple but tasted incredible. Servers were also friendly and attentive!

I stumbled on this delicious vegan restaurant while wandering the streets of Rome. I would've never…read moreguessed that the dish was vegan had I not read the menu more closely. The cheese was creamy and delicious, and the vegan bacon was crunchy with the perfect texture - just like real bacon. The owner stated that it was made from pea protein, which I also would never have guessed. PRO TIP: The they close the kitchen between lunch and dinner (at 3:30) so be sure to get there earlier for full access to the menu. Even though I arrived late, the waiter asked the kitchen to make me carbonara, and I'm so glad they did! I will definitely be coming back here again to try their other vegan dishes. The bruschetta was also phenomenal. The tomatoes are so much sweeter and the olive oil so smooth, much better than in the U.S. And of course, I can't forget the noodles - perfectly al dente and fresh. I feel so spoiled when I eat pasta in Italy!

Disclaimer: I am a flexitarian. I generally try to eat plant based, but will still eat meat and…read moreother animal products on occasion - and when on vacation, I lift all food restrictions. All this is to say, while in Italy, I've had excellent cheese - and with vegan cheese being hit or miss, I went in a bit nervous about the vegan cheese platter appetizer. However, the cheese really blew me away: it was excellent vegan cheese and with great variety. The cheese on the platter had different textures and different flavors (including one with a delicious kick that I happily would've bought a block of) and did a great job emulating non-vegan cheese plates. I followed this up by trying their 3-d printed steak in pumpkin sauce. Firstly, the pumpkin sauce was incredible: I generally only tolerate pumpkin-based products, but I found this pumpkin sauce delicious - excellent flavor profile and perfectly complimenting the steak. For the steak: you definitely won't confuse this with actual meat, but it was still good and flavorful - and the texture itself was super interesting. It had the bit of a real steak but with layers and complexity. I'm very glad I ended up trying this. All in all, the dishes we ordered were all great - and really interesting. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone - even if you aren't vegan!
