Fantastisch! - Edit
Fantastisch! Wunderbares Restaurant im Herzen Bolognas. Einfach zu finden, freundliche Bedienungen die Teilweise Englisch sprechen. Die Karte ist klein aber fein, sowohl Hauptspeisen als auch Dessert haben wunderbar geschmeckt. Entweder gleich zu beginn der Öffnungszeiten erscheinen oder Reservieren, da es ein eher kleines Restaurant ist.

We enjoyed a nice fruit juice of the day, jackfruit sticks and potatoes. The salad with ginger was a highlight.

delicious food, great prices, good service - Edit
I had the parmagiana and I was delicious. My friend had falafel, which was also good. it was her first vegan meal and she was impressed by the parmagiana. We had dessert, which was also delicious. The staff was very friendly. After paying California prices for vegan food for years, I was surprised how low our bill was.

Not again - Edit
We had the Budda Bowl and the Lasagne; both very good. I had a look at the other tables, and the plates looked very good.
Read moreNice location in the city center. Prices are okay.
But…. The drinks… I saw more or less only flavored water on the menu. Anyway, the staff is very unfriendly (or arrogant); we arrived a little bit earlier, and as we asked if it might be possible to take a seat outside before the restaurant opens, the answer was very rude. Another staff member asked us if we are aware that this is a vegan restaurant (Yes…).
Maybe the folks received too many positive ratings.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: Very unfriendly

A little flavourless - Edit
I thought the food was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. I had the gnocchettini and my boyfriend had the Triangoli verdi and both lacked in salt. The desserts however were delicious.

Ottimo ed elegante - Edit
Dopo il lockdown ha rinnovato il menù in modo da venire più incontro ai gusti popolare, i prezzi leggermente abbassati rispetto a prima. È un posto in pieno centro, elegante e raffinato, ovviamente costa un po', ma merita alla grande! Lo consiglio a tutti!!!

Vegan power in Bologna!! - Edit
The "Hugo" aperitivo was really good. Same goes for the "Natural Spritz", just the way it should be. Main dish was surely ok. We had "Green triangles" & "Parmigiana". Servings were not that huge though. Oh well, more space for the desert. The "Sweet of the day" was muffin, tasty and great presentation. Also the "Mascarponcino" tasted great. Location is top as well: right in the city center. Coffee: ok, nothing special.
Read morePros: Sweet vegan food. price/quality, Price/quality ok, Helpful staff
Cons: Servings on the low side

Main course disappointing - Edit
It’s a very nice place with great service, good location and nice ambiance. I ordered the green gnocchi and was quite disappointed, especially considering pretty high price. The dumplings were well done - tender and not too heavy, but the sauce and garnish had no taste at all. Wine, coffee and desert (“mascarpone” thingy) were delicious though!

super restaurant directly in the city center - Edit
I enjoyed lunch in the restaurant. I really loved the gnocchi with a little side salad. The staff was super friendly and the food came quick. Good restaurant when you want to have a solid meal in the city center.

Food didn't meet our high expectations - Edit
We had a nice dinner at Botanica Lab but perhaps our expectations were too high as the prices were a bit higher and they presented their food as fusion on their website. The meals that we had did not really stand out but I guess there's nothing to go wrong with the buddha bowl we had. Baked potatoes were not very fresh, tasted like they had been made a day before and just heated up. My favourite italian dish: Melanzane parmiggiana were kind of dry and had very little tomato sauce. I have been making them at home in vegan version for years and with my fiancé we agreed that mine were better 😅. I would probably go again for the desserts. Both fruit cheesecake and masarponcino were outstanding! 💜

Non male però il servizio è pessimo - Edit
I primi come la parmigiana di melanzane e i triangoli verdi sono davvero buoni e gustosi, gli antipasti invece non ci sono proprio piaciuti. Il servizio pessimo. Calici di vino dimenticati, acqua frizzante invece della naturale richiesta. Alla domanda “qual è il dolce del giorno” che ovviamente era sul menu, la ragazza prima è andata in confusione, poi si è messa a ridere rispondendoci “ah no bo oggi mi sa che non c’è”. “Ok e quella al cioccolato cos’ha?” “Eh non lo so credo solo cioccolato”. Insomma molto preparati!

Fine Dining - Edit
This is indeed a vegan fine dining Restaurant not far from Piazza Maggiore in the very centre of Bologna.
Read moreThe Design is quite stylish.
The staff was friendly, helpful and spoke english.
There was a small complimentary Soup (black lentils) in the Beginning which tasted really Good and was rich and creamy.
I had Ravioli with 'Ricotta', Cashew and Black Truffle in Olive Oil and Sage as well as a Chocolate Cheesecake.
The presentation was nice and it tasted Great.
The Portions were not big but filling enough and I left Happy, nourished and satisfied.
It is a little pricey to be honest- but the atmosphere and food are worth it.
Pros: Unusual, Creative, delicious Dishes, Fine Dining Atmosphere, Friendly english speaking Staff
Cons: A little Pricey

Awesome vegan Italian food - Edit
I only had time to come here once, so I tried a few things. Homemade pasta was great as a starter, then parmigiana as a second plate and a nice dessert. Cheesecake with either chocolate or fruits. I had the chocolate one, which I loved.

Pros: Fully vegan restaurant , Lots of typical Italian food, Nice interior

Luxurious vegan place - Edit
This place really caught our attention when we were searching for vegan restaurants in Bologna. The space was really well decorated, the atmosphere was calm although it was completely full and the staff was very attentive. We understood Italian reasonably well but it would've been easier if there was an English version of the menu.
Read moreOur order took a really long time but we totally understood it, that's what full house means, and couldn't be happier with our choices. Everyone was delighted even the non vegans but I have to admit that the real stars were definitely the desserts. Best chocolate mousse and cashew cheesecake ever!

Nice terrace and nice food! - Edit
As a Belgian, I was pleased to find a person who speaks french in the staff. They were very nice. The food was really good, the place really nice too: the terrace is in the shade, pretty and comfy furniture (details but still), full of plants...
Read moreI agree with certain comments: I eat very spicy and I think the dishes deserved more salt at least.
You can see that they do everything homemade, cheeses to dried vegetables.
The only thing that was sad is that the plate of vegetal cheeses was only macadamia based and then tasted relatively the same.
Quantities were OK too!
I recommend it.
Pros: Nice place, everything vegan
Cons: Cheeses homemade but similar

Tastes like earth - Edit
I was so excited to try this place. Got the train an hour for a dinner date here. Everything tastes like meat eaters thinks vegan food tastes like. The Buddha bowl was just a bunch of boiled vegetables. Some things tasted Indian and there was a flavourless hummus on there. I am not a picky eater but I didn’t finish it. Nothing has any flavour. The summer rolls were slightly better with way too much red cabbage and no flavour. Would not recommend
