A must when in Rome. This was our favorite restaurant. Everything was so good and affordable. We didn't speak Italian and the waitress was so sweet trying to translate for us. We went to eat here a few times and loved it. We will definitely be back. read more

It was our last night in Rome. I wanted to have a nice and relaxing dinner with my husband. I looked up this restaurant because they had good reviews and vegan options. When we reached the place, they asked if we had reservations. We didn't. They said they were fully booked. We were about to leave disappointed when the guy said we can sit at a table but we would only have 35 mins to eat. We should have left right then, but we really wanted to try the vegan menu. Assuming that the food would be served quickly, we sat down. First of all, the QR code for the menu didn't work! Secondly, the food came 20 mins after we ordered. As we were about to eat, the lady (who I assume is the boss) told us in a condescending tone that we have 10 mins to finish!! Who does that?! Customer service sucked! Moreover, the food was piping hot and tasted bad! I was fuming and we literally shoved the food down our throats! So much for a nice, relaxing dinner! We finished before our 10 mins was up and told them that we were terribly disappointed at their lack of customer service! Our first and hopefully the last bad experience in Rome. read more

So wonderful I went twice! The restaurant was located within walking distance from my hostel and had an entire vegan menu. Big plus! We sat outside and it was perfect. On my first trip I had pizza with vegan mozzarella and it was so creamy. I was very impressed. We also enjoyed the vegan antipasto which contained bread balls, vegan mayo, hummus, and marinated tofu. Me and my nonvegan friend both enjoyed it. For dessert, they had a special cake on the menu, I would provide details but I spaced when they mentioned chocolate. Day two, my friend and I shared a lovely bottle of vegan wine. For dinner, we ordered the bruschetta, mixed salad and gnocchi. The gnocchi was to DIE for. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Rome! read more

This is our second dinner at Rifugio Romano in 4 nights in Rome. I am writing this and I have not started to eat my food. The food here have a superb quality and flavor. The first night we ordered a Capresse salad, gnocchi sorrentino and spaghetti Carbonara. The words are not enough to describe the flavor. Service is superb as well. Benedetto (owner and chef) and his daughter Fabiola run this fabulous restaurant. I am not afraid to said is in the list of your must visit while in Rome. Tonight we ordered for appetizers Suppli Bolognese and Aranccino al Funghi.....both awesome! We are waiting for our Totellini alla bologna and Lasagna...will update later. Vinno della casa rocks! read more

Great food- great atmosphere! We had the steak with a vinaigrette salad, what can I say? Delicious! My girlfriend had the Calzone which was good as well! You need to have dessert (Panna Cotta) that was enjoyable too! Staff was very easy going and accommodating! If you are ever visiting Rome- this is a place to have lunch/ dinner! read more

The food and wine was amazing and the staff was extremely friendly. I came here with a friend. I am vegan and she is not. The menu had a lot of options for both of us! It was so hard to choose. It does get busy so make a reservation! I wasn't aware that could be done. Thank you so much for the excellent service! read more

The best Vegan food we had in Italy! (Possibly anywhere) And probably the best food we had during our whole stay in Italy. I am so glad my husband found this place on Yelp and that we were able to eat here on our anniversary. The wine and service was great as well. Can't wait to make it back someday. read more

The vegan food here is INCREDIBLE! The carbonara is a must & the tiramisu is the best I've ever had. Be sure to book a reservation through their website, as they get packed and may turn you away if you didn't book ahead. read more

It was so incredible to find a place like this as a vegan. Pizza? Pasta? Dessert? That have it! And the best part is that they are not solely a vegan restaurant, so everyone can get what they want! And the limoncello to end the meal was a lovely touch. We are hoping to be able to return to try more of their food. read more

Such an amazing meal. The team at Rifugio Romano got hit with a huge group of people just after they seated us and handled in stride. Great service great food and the people here really care about your experience. I'd like to thank everyone on the staff for making my family's meal one to remember. Superb!! read more

Good place for moderately priced meal, but location is less than desirable. Ideal for students and young people on a budget but not so great for older couple seeking ambience. The 2 waiter and waitress were overwhelmed but maintained their calm and worked hard to provide good service. read more

After long day of sightseeing we found this place. Extensive menu. Pizza pasta fish lots of appetizers great selection. They even have vegan even though we are not. Very reasonable pricing! Quante straight forward place inside and outdoor seating. It was packed both times we went. We started out w Supplì which is a rice ball w meat cheese! It was fresh hot and so good! My son was in mood for pizza and I ordered Pasta Carbonara. We shared the pizza thin crispy w proper about of cheese and sauce on top was spicy salami. Carbonara w spaghetti was firm delicious pasta the sauce was perfectly blended made correctly. We ordered a bottle of wine local Lazio winery $12euros we finished off w tiramisu and cappuccino. The owner who's was the host then came over to ask how everything was then came back over w Lemoncello shots a nice touch. We went back for lunch the next day was just as good as night before. Met the sister the next day! read more

Absolutely amazing service and food! We are a family of 8 and there are 2 vegans that had SO many options to eat as well! Our waitress was very sweet and informative. It only makes me sad that we are not staying longer to keep coming back! The vegan Ravioli and Carbonara were delicious, the other dishes Ceasar salad , chicken with mushrooms, and the roasted pork were phenomenal! Oh and just look at our pictures for proof that the dessert was amazing too! The rest of the dinner was eaten too quickly to get pictures! read more

Service was absolutely terrible. Server literally never checked on us, and I had to go find him to order another drink. Both beers I ordered were 40% foam, 60% beer. We ordered the carbonara which was definitely sub par. We also ordered ficoccia which was good. The cacio e Pepe was good. But definitely nothing stunning. We were going to order dessert but after waiting 45 minutes with no one coming by, we took our money elsewhere. Overall, overpriced for sub par food. Save your money and go to la famiglia a block over. WAY better food, and WAY better service. read more

I had only one meal in Rome and 100% satisfied it was here. I am vegan but my friend is not, and there were plenty of menu options for both of us. Almost too many. The wait staff was very friendly and the restaurant had a great ambience complimented by good music (American Soft Rock). I loved every dish I ordered and my wine was described perfectly. read more

Obscenely delicious. There were so many vegan options, I'm already trying to plan more trips here into my schedule before I leave Rome so I can try more. I'm normally a just-an-entree type person, but I needed to try at least one appetizer and a dessert. SO WORTH BEING UNCOMFORTABLY FULL. I got the vegan suppli' to start with. delicious. seitan ravioli as my entree. DELICIOUS. pana cotta with strawberry for dessert. SEND HELP. finished it off with a cappuccino w/ soy milk. the alcohol is good, too: wine, grappa, and limoncello. also, can't say enough about the service. both servers were just attentive enough. they were very nice and had a good sense of humor. the restaurant itself was very comfortable. a little small indoors; tables with other guests were very close by. I'm used to/prefer being a fair distance away from strangers though. my non-vegan mother had a mixed seafood pasta dish. she absolutely loved it, and I could overhear others enjoying their meat dishes, too. so this place does a great job catering to herbivores/omnivores/carnivores/whatever. totally recommend this place to anyone who can go. it was a bit of a walk from our hotel, but again, worth it! read more

This was a lovely spot for lunch in between tours, especially because I am vegetarian and my husband is not. The menu includes an entire section for vegans, which is hard to find when traveling and much appreciated! This is not a vegan only place, so my husband was satisfied as well. He ordered the salmon pasta in tomato sauce and I ordered gnocchi. We both had house red wine, which was fine -- not great but fine. The food? The food was better than fine it was fantastic! Pillowy-soft gnocchi in a rich, flavorful tomato sauce that came out so hot bubbling with fresh mozzarella!! My husband was wary of salmon pasta with a red sauce but not only did he eat every bite he spent the rest of the day reminiscing about it! We came around 12:30 on a Thursday, just before it got busy, but service was efficient and friendly -- nothing extra special but we didn't need special attention so no complaints here. If you have a larger group you may have to wait because the space is smaller but it is well worth it. Really do recommend this spot if you are in the area and you have a group with mixed dining preferences, they've got you covered! read more

This is one of the most delicious dinner places here in Rome. We stopped here for dinner after arriving to our hotel, it's close to the metro and within in your price range. The waiters are super friendly and very accommodating to everyone. Pasta was excellent, pizza was very good. The waiters will up-sell a bottle of wine but all in all the experience was positive. read more

Went for lunch a couple days ago. Friendly and helpful staff, close to Termini station, a lot of options for the vegetarians in our family, food looked and tasted great and is reasonably priced. No cover charge. :-) Started with cheese plate and warm foccia, delicious. We then had spinach and ricotta ravioli with brown butter sage sauce, spaghetti with a sauce of black pepper and parmesan or Romano cheese and fettuccine with porcini mushroom. All were delicious and great choices. Tried to head back twice for dinner but, understandably, they were booked up. We might try it again for lunch before we leave. read more

The place was decent. I ordered the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina and it was swimming in oil and grease. The restaurant itself was quaint. They definitely need more staff on hand as the two waiters were rushing around and could barely keep up. read more

We are not vegans but paid a visit due to all the food reviews! The food was great, prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly. They even gave us free limoncello at the end. We had a pizza (carpaccio), the gnocchi, a spaghetti with tomato sauce, mussels, and beers. Good food! read more

So many vegan options here! Loved the Vegan Cacio e Pepe, the pasta was cooked perfectly. Service was great and food came out very quickly. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful and continuously came to check on our needs. To top it off the vegan tiramisu was SO good. I don't know how they did it but it was incredible. Highly recommend Rifugio Romano, we will be coming back! read more

For those of you who are vegan or don't particularly care for all the meats this city has to offer then you are in luck. There vegan menu is just as vast as there regular menu. Popped into Refugio as I was passing by. They were very accommodating and opened up 15min early. Despite nothing on menu for breakfast, they offered to scratch up a breakfast plate if desired. Our server spoke some English and was very helpful when trying to decide which pie to get. If coming in evening make sure to make a reservation as they seem to be always busy for dinner service. read more

Their vegan selection is amazing!! I recommend their pastas! I wasn't crazy about their pizza with pumpkin cream but everything else was sooooo good! Even their house wine is good! Their vegan tiramisu is good not great! But their vegan ice cream is delicious. My husband and I came here twice! Service was very attentive. If you are vegan and in Rome this is definitely a must. If you are dining after 7pm you may want to get a reservation as it gets packed. But the wait isn't too bad! read more

Food was great! We had pizza and the Risotto. It's a little and quaint place with outdoors and indoor seating. They gave us a surprise lemon drink palette cleanser. WiFi code included. Reasonable prices and good value. We took a box to go. read more

Let's start off with the disappointment and end on a good note :-). We had service that made me glad not to tip. They weren't packed. People who sat after us got served before us. The food was missing toppings I added to the order and the owner apologetic offered to add them to the pizza by bringing out a bowl of the topping. Ok so the good about it? Well their food is good. They cater towards vegans like a handful in the area and they also give in to the carnivores. Although the drink portions were small, my stomach did not leave hungry and they gave us lemoncello shots on the house (too strong for our likings - but if you got a throat that needs to be warm, go on!). Really really liked the pizza here! 5 stars for food, 2 stars customer service. read more

As my AirBnB was nearby, I did takeouts on 2 nights. That, plus the restaurant crowds at dinner time, might explain why I found the food below average. The fettuccine porcini was bland, spaghetti carbonara was clumpy with curdled yellow stuff, pizzas tasted no different from those ubiquitous pizza joints that line tourist areas. Nevertheless, I will give 3 instead of 2 stars. The extra star is for the fried zucchini flower with anchovy filling - now that was unusual and tasty. I'd rather walk a little further down the road further away from the tourist belt, to the street where the La Romagna gelato is. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Italy. They have amazing vegan options. The first time I came here, I had a vegan ravioli that was definitely the best ravioli I've ever had. The sauce was just amazing and I loved the spinach filling. I ordered the mimosa pizza which came with tofu, zucchini, tomatoes, potatoes, and vegan cheese.... definitely was a very daring choice and I am so glad I made it! I split the pizza with my non vegan friend and she enjoyed it as well. I had the vegan dessert of the day which was some chocolate lime layered cake-- it was so good!!! Also try the vegan gelato if you get the chance. The chocolate came in four scoops and was so creamy and flavorful. Everything I had here was amazing. read more
