AMAZING Italian food

The best Italian food I have had outside of a vegan Italian restaurant in Rome. I had the eggplant Francese and it was unbelievable. Separate vegan menu, live music, friendly owners. A must go to every time I’m in the area!

Separate vegan menu

This has been my family's go to place whenever we got together since it has something for everyone, vegans and non-vegans. They have an extensive vegan menu. According to the owner, they have a separate cooking area for their vegan items. The food is good, a little pricey though. Friendly staff and the owner is always around to make sure you are enjoying your meal. They normally bring out a samples while you are waiting for your food along with vegan rolls.

Pros: extensive vegan menu, friendly staff and service

Cons: a little pricey

Top Tier Italian

Tons of delicious vegan options in a clearly labeled, separate menu. Atmosphere is old-school Italian restaurant which is difficult to find if you eat plant-based.

Lots of vegan options

Mama’s has an extensive vegan menu and they are very accommodating! You can order just about anything. Unfortunately, they raise their prices frequently and orders do get messed up. I ordered vegan lasagna and I bit into it and it was chicken. It made me sick and this happened a few times with my order not being vegan. Lately the vegan cannolis are not filled and they seem to be skimping on quality. It’s worth a try because the options are great otherwise.

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Very expensive , Slow service

Huge menu

Mama's is a great spot for eating with veg and non-veg guests. I find it is a little hit or miss. Some pastas have been AMAZING, some have been just okay, and I once got a pizza that was truly incredible. Very weird. But the atmosphere is fun and they have an enormous menu. Really glad they are making such an effort to be vegan friendly :)

Delicious and worth the price

The menu had all the favorite traditional Italian dishes fully veganized. Everything was delicious and the portions were family style, so definitely generous. It felt great having as many choices as there were. I found out that this restaurant caters to many eating lifestyles including gluten free and keto. One woman was even able to get her meal with reduced sodium. I will definitely go back!

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Exceptional food quality , Worth the price

500 stars

Because it’s not fully vegan the app only lets me give it 4 stars. But it should get 500. There are so many options for vegans and vegetarians. Each have their own complete menu. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Vegans get a special marker for the table so that the wrong food isn’t brought out. They use separate fryers for anything vegan. Not to mention the food is amazing. The vegan mozzarella sticks are one of my favorite. If I tried to add pictures it would be an entire album.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Knowledgeable staff, Delicious!!

Cons: More expensive than some but worth it

Delicious and huge selection

What a find, love this place! Wonderful selection for vegans and also for gluten free. Had the penne vodka pizza and cannolis, great! Also caters to non-vegans so good for bigger groups.

Excellent options

Coming here - you feel like every dish they have they also have in a vegan version. It really feels like they go out of their way to accommodate vegans. A great amount of options. When you also come in, they ask if you need a vegan menu and put a sign on your table that says you’re vegan so your servers always know!

Pros: A ton of vegan options , Great ambience and live music!

Great for vegan catering

My sister threw my baby shower here! They have a large vegan and gluten free menu and offer 2 great event rooms for large and small parties, they even have a patio. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. They have delicious Italian food, flatbread, pizza, pasta and desserts. Very accommodating and friendly staff.

Good Vegan Italian Food

I ordered a vegan pizza with vegan vodka sauce as well as a gluten free vegan pizza. Their menu offers so many vegan Italian foods that are really hard to come by! Vegan mozzarella sticks, vegan meatball parm sandwiches, lasagna, Alfredo etc. My only complaint is that I believe they use Daiya Vegan Cheese which came out a bit rubbery on the pizza.

Pros: Lots of vegan options!

Largest vegan menu I’ve ever seen at a non-vegan restaurant

I got the vegan eggplant parmesan, and it was just like the real thing. There was so much to choose from; It made me so happy. They even had vegan desserts!

Very inclusive restaurant. They really cater to vegans.

As soon as we entered, the hostess asked if we needed a vegan menu and I immediately felt a sense of relief that this restaurant cared about vegans. My husband said that this place had the best vegan food that’s he’s had so far and he’s such a picky eater that means a lot. Thank you for making our 17th anniversary so special.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Make the extra effort to ensure staff is aware

Cons: Can’t think of any cons

Great Vegan Italian Food

This restaurant deserves five stars for vegan food. It was an amazing experience to have vegan meatballs and sausage and pasta. They do vegan right. They deserve five stars and their customer service is outstanding. It was at least a 30 minute drive but it was totally worth it and you must give it a try.

Pros: Many vegan options, Great and friendly service, Amazing vegan Italian food

Cons: None at all

Delicious!!!

This place was sooooo good! Ordered for a family event where non vegan Italian food is the norm, and this food held a torch (which says a lot)! Would absolutely order from here again. Also one of the only places to get a vegan cannoli 🤤

Pros: Huge portions , Delicious food!

Cons: Expensive

Got to go from here, vegan menu available online. Lots of options! Delicious!

I got the Vegan Polpette as an app, vegan meatballs on a red sauce with some creamy cheese sprinkled with herbs and I really enjoyed it! I think it comes with bread which was fresh and a larga piece too. Combo dinner of A thinly sliced breaded and baked eggplant dish topped with roasted veggies. Penne pasta with a creamy vodka champagne vin. sauce. Great dishes. Got the fried zeppoles for dessert and came with I think chocolate syrup for dipping. All good portions. Very hospitable lady on the phone and behind the counter, Sherry was her name. Thinking of going back another round while I’m not local. Highly recommend.

Update: Couple of days after ordering take out I went and dine in twice that week. Loved the dining experience, quality of staff; the hostess greeted us very welcoming and after seating us she went over the specials and she was very knowledgeable. Server was excellent, highly attentive. Sherry was great once again, food was consistently delicious with variety of options. Must Go!

Pros: Outstanding service , Delicious food

Vegan Menu Here is For Real

This Italian restaurant has a legitimate separate vegan-only menu with almost any traditional Italian dish you can think of from spaghetti and “meatballs” to pizzas and heros. They even put a little vegan sign on the table to notify the wait staff. Homemade complimentary bread was fresh, and they also gave us a complimentary sample of a risotto dish. My only regret is that I was too full for dessert - they have a decent dessert menu, including items from Bethlehem, PA’s famous Vegan Treats.

Pros: Special menu dedicated to vegan items only, Food was delicious , Wait staff is very aware of vegan customers

Cons: A little on the pricey side but well worth it

Favorite Restaurant

I would give a 5 star if I could but app only allows 4 for not fully vegan restaurants. This place is amazing and by far our favorite restaurant! The ambiance is great, they offer variety of indoor seating and outdoor seating. They have a menu for everyone it is so awesome ! They offer menus for non vegan, vegan, gluten free , dairy free, so you can please anyone. The chef/ owner came to our table every time we were there for dinner which was a great personal touch. He explained to us their huge kitchen renovation to accommodate for the dietary restrictions and to prevent any chance of cross contamination. Another measure they incorporate is giving each individual a place card with their dietary preference as a doh low check for the waiters. Lastly the food is AMAZING ! I grew up in an Italian restaurant and great Italian vegan food is hard to come by but this place is a game changer ! Highly recommend.

Pros: Full vegan menu + desserts , Accommodates for all distrust restrictions , Amazing food and great atmosphere

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Yummy food

Great food huge vegan menu

Been many times over past 11 years they have a complete full menu just vegan of 90% of there other menus. Always great service and put nameplate stating vegan(or gluten free(menu just of that too)) so all servers stick to that information. Will give samples and ensure vegan. Friendly and long time in business had lots of great family gatherings there too. Top notch

Pros: Offer vegan specials too, Complete vegan menu ,

Cons: Can be crowded at typical busy times

Saporito!

Delicious foods with the most vegan options I’ve ever seen at a restaurant that’s not exclusively vegan. (they had a separate vegan menu!! ) This place made my vegan girlfriend very happy. They’re very accommodating to people with dietary restrictions. Great place, highly recommended.

If the app would let me give Mama’s five stars, I would.

The vegan menu is expansive yet still has room for more choices. On my first visit, I could have cried over all the options I had for dinner. Outside of pasta, Italian restaurants usually are not veg friendly. The menu offers split entrees. Additionally, the server will bring vegan samples.

Pros: Friendly staff, Delish, Nice sized portions

Cons: Long wait, Loud

Amazing Restaurant deserves 5 stars

This place is fantastic! The employees are so nice and they have so many amazing vegan and non vegan options. My family loves to go to this place and we always have a great time. This place may not be completely vegan but they have more vegan options then some all vegan restaurants I have been to. I saw some people saying the food was too expensive but I think it is very fairly priced because the portion sizes are so big. Overall this place is so great and if you are anywhere in the area you need to go here.

Pros: Great options, Nice employees, Good food

Go here!

This place is awesome for vegans. They really go out of their way to accommodate. There's a huge vegan menu, so many choices it's hard to pick which is such an unusual problem to have as a vegan! You don't even have to ask for the vegan menu...they ask you if you want it when you walk in, and they put a little "I am vegan" sign on your table so that anyone who waits on you knows without even asking. The staff is super helpful and friendly and expect the manager to stop by and chat you up. Honestly, it's VIP treatment. Everything that I tried was really good too. Especially the vegan sausage with broccoli rabe, which was amazing. A little pricey but so worth it. Portions are big and they have lots of vegan dessert options too, so be sure to arrive hungry!

Pros: Very accommodating to vegans, Friendly staff, Excellent food

Cons: Not cheap
