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!

Rifugio Romano served the best vegan pizza I've ever eaten! Tbh, I haven't sampled too many other…read morevegan pies prior, however this one certainly beat them out, though they could also work on their technique and flavors a little more. Searching for a place to eat, this place caught my eye for its good reviews on Gmaps and optimistic take on Roman classics turned plant-based. On a Friday around 1pm, right after we sat down, the restaurant sudden filled up with additional customers to about three-quarters full. Approximately two dozen seats inside and another dozen street side tables outside. Inside it's got a mom and pop traditional restaurant feel--a handful of two and four tops, a drinks fridge/wine chiller, a small corner bar, with medium-toned wooden tables and chairs. We checked in with the staff inside and they gave us the option to sit in or outside, we chose outdoors. Menus are scanned via QR code and if I recall correctly they have mostly Italian with some English. We ordered: - seasonal artichoke and vegan bacon pizza €16: first of all, the scale isn't obvious from my photo--it was a 12 inch pizza, for an individual pie--HUGE! Glad I saw the table over receiving their pizza first so I didn't make the big mistake of ordering more than one. Flavor--the artichoke, cheese and crust were a great combo, and the plant-based cheese stood out as one of the most strikingly similar cheesy textures out there. The bacon was visually and texturally dissimilar to the real thing, it looked dry though wasn't, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't bacon. At least they hit one out of two on this pizza. It was a satisfying pie. - ratatouille €6: which ended up being sautéed beans, peas and asparagus. If there is one thing I noticed eating at a few different Italian restaurants in Italy--they overcook their vegetables, and this was on trend, a tad over, though still edible. The flavor was good but needed to tone down the salt a notch. Food arrived in about 15 minutes, the pizza was hot and crisp at the crust. Staff was friendly and checked in once during the meal. Cash and card accepted. Bathroom available though I didn't use it to comment.

Every dish was mouth-wateringly delicious. The pizza sauces were delectable, with a perfect balance of every flavor. If only my tongue could talk; I can't describe how each bite was a symphony. The people here truly care about their food and making it wonderful. They are also so friendly! They usually have an English-speaking server on hand but if they don't you can point at absolutely ANYTHING and you will be quite pleased! (Really, I ended up trying all of the pizzas during our stay in Roma; they were all to die for.) ALL of the pizzas are gluten-free and each of the three varieties of crusts were spectacular. Definitely not one to miss!

Not just an option of removing meat and cheese, but they make their own vegan deli meat and vegan cheese. I ordered a vegan sandwich on whole grain bread, and most all of the veggies he had in the case. Took about 4 minutes to assemble, toast, cut and wrap. 6 euros later, I was on my way. Inside is very small and 2 people were already occupying the only seats, so I ate on a bench just down the street. Wow, this sandwich was so good! The sauteed kale, marinated mushrooms, fresh greens, roasted red peppers and their mock meat came together fantastically. The bread was so soft and not at all chewy. Perfection. It kept me full for hours. I would 10/10 eat this again any day.

We found this restaurant near the Vatican on a rainy day, desperate to find sustenance and shelter, after searching "vegan near me" on google, and thank god we did! Food ***** We ordered the Veg Field and the Veg Life paninis. We were SO impressed by the food here and we were not expecting it at all. The food was prepared fresh right in front of our eyes. Homemade mayo was placed on the bread, toasted, the cook/cashier (possibly the owner as well) salted and peppered the food. She fresh peeled an avocado for the sandwich and added olive oil and acid too. From the crunchiness of the bread, to the tang of the vinegar, to the freshness of the vegetables, every part of the sandwiches hit the nail on the head. They were delicious and filling too. She also offered a vegan chocolate plum cake, which she even sprinkled powdered sugar over before serving. From the presentation, the deliciousness, and the freshness this was an all around 5 star for us. Atmosphere **** Small, quaint, and cozy cafe. Warm lighting, some bar-style seating and an outdoor seat for good weather. Service**** Everything was handmade by the chef right in front of us and served right to us. Price $ Just right!

Having a small buffet means that jf it's crowded it can take longer to get the food that you want (because someone else is blocking you) or people become impatient and jump the line to weigh their food as there is no arrow pointing which direction to go around the buffet to get in line to weigh your food. I thought the food was good but not great enough to return back for more. The seating is communal meaning that you will have to share with others. I didn't really like that concept but it didn't take away from my experience. Ensuring that your parties are not mixed with others, waiters take your drink order and then provide you with a receipt. Along with this receipt you'll take one form the buffet after weighing your food. At the end of your meal, you'll need both receipts to pay for your food at the cashier register before exciting. Customer service was good could be better, they just all seemed to be in a rush (around 1:30-2:30 pm).
