I visited this vegan buffet during my trip to Rome and was very excited for the buffet and to try…read morethe dishes presented. The buffet is small, but there is enough food to feel satiated. 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).

Service was good, considering how busy it was.

From appetizers to desserts everything was incredibly tasty and well cooked. For me it is very hard to choose since they have a seasonal menu and a regular menu, and so many dishes were so tempting.

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!

This place was a treat. Yes, it's hot in the summer. Yes, it's crowded and popular. But also yes, the food makes it all worth it. I had the oxtail pasta at the recommendation of the waiter (and a couple Peronis to drink, ofc). This is slow cooked oxtail that just serves to bring even more flavor to the hearty tomato sauce, ladled over the aforementioned thick homemade pasta... and plenty of it. Served of course with fresh bread and regional olive oil and vinegar, what better? We actually had plenty of attentive service here, and it was honestly the only time a tip was ever mention in our whole time in Italy. This young man earned it. As I mentioned before, it's hot inside. There is air conditioning according to my eyes, but you couldn't feel it making any kind of difference between all the people, the kitchen, and the absolutely stifling temperatures of a Roman summer.

Though we did not speak any Italian, the shop owner was very welcoming and polite! We told him (as best we could) that we were from America and he treated us super kindly. He offered us appetizers (on the house!) so that we could sample true Italian seafood. He sent over grilled shrimp on crusty Italian bread with grilled asparagus, followed by a fritter of sorts which consisted of a ball of extremely tiny fish. The "fritter" is something I wouldn't have considered ordering as eating small fish whole isn't something I'd normally do, but it was good! For our meals, we ordered the fried seafood platter which consisted of calamari, anchovies, and other small fish and crustaceans. Wow. I was blown away! We cleaned the plates! I recently began planning a trip to Italy for next year and knew that I'd have to mark this place for a return visit. It's truly a testament to how good the food is if, after four years, I can vividly remember what I ate! Can't wait to go back next year!
