Amazing dining experience - Edit
Really special dinner with stunning views over Rome.
Read moreWe had primi and secondi courses which were super elaborate. Little taste explosions. Vegan bread, amuse bouche and sweets were offered.
We got a little spooked by negative reviews on here about the ambiance and service but we really couldn’t fault it.
Book directly via the Rafael hotel. The cancellation/modification policy via third parties is very strict
Pros: Elaborate dishes , Views over Rome, The staff were superb
Cons: An investment dinner…, Predominantly vegetarian but accommodates vegans

Nice fine dinning - Edit
I enjoyed the view, and the food was excellent. However, the staff was a bit slow and disorganized. For a Michelin restaurant, this behavior from the staff is not acceptable.

Nice but overpriced - Edit
I know this is a chic place but comparing to other upscale vegan restaurants I’ve been at, it is not the best and it is VERY expensive. Being a-la-càrte and not a degustation menu, it gets pricey! The food was of course good but overhyped and overpriced. The view is amazing and the staff was very nice.

Seriously one of the best experiences - Edit
After 3 hours of a beautiful view and truly incredibly unique flavours, I can say this was truly an experience to remember! We decided to go the 8 course tasting menu and we’re very happy. Even my partner who isn’t vegetarian was impressed.

Beautiful rooftop view with super nice food - Edit
We had dîner there and unfortunately when we arrived it was already dark and we couldn't enjoy the view 😩 so make sure to book a table when you'd be able to enjoy it!
Read moreFood was super good although I was expecting a little bit more from a Relais Château restaurant.
Plenty of vegan options on the menu, even vegan wines were available.
Portions were OK as well.
Staff was super friendly and used to welcoming vegan customers so very aware of our needs
Pros: Fresh ingredients , Super friendly staff , Location + view
Cons: Price, although OK for a Relais Château

Another amazing dinner - Edit
My husband and I visited about 5 years ago and everything from the food to the service to the view was amazing. I was hesitant to visit again during this trip because of the recent bad reviews, but we went ahead anyway and Im glad we did! The service was top notch. Everyone was super accommodating and made sure to tell us whenever they brought a dish out that it was in fact vegan (we didnt even have to ask!) The food was incredible as always. This place is very pricey, but honestly its worth it if you can afford to splurge for a nice night out 🙂

Good food, but lacking wine knowledge - Edit
The food is very well made, and there are several vegan options with some gluten-free options. We did have to remind them for a couple of the dishes outside of the menu like petit fours etc that we were vegan as some of these will be served and are only vegetarian. They have a very good wine list, but they were missing several of the wines they normally serve by the glass without swapping them for something else. We had a very good dining experience in the evening, but a slightly more disappointing experience for drinks in the afternoon. We had to order three different wines until they found one they actually had, and it was also served in the wrong glass. I expect more at Michelin-stared restaurants, and would hope that there is a Sommelier there that can shape up how they serve and present wine as that was relatively disappointing.

Serata vegana tra i tetti di Roma - Edit
Piatti vegani al top, servizio impeccabile. Pane meraviglioso fatto in casa. Il risotto ‘ombelico del mondo’ è imperdibile. Specificare di essere vegani perché i piatti sono vegetariani. Il personale è attentissimo e veramente cortese. Visto che eravamo indecisi ci sono stati proposti degli assaggi. #Veganuary

Vegan Heaven - Edit
I don’t have words to describe my experience, but if you’re looking for vegan fine dining this is some of the best vegan food I’ve had (vegan 10 years). So many interesting flavors and creative dishes. Rooftop dining was in one of the most beautiful settings. Between the food and ambiance you feel like you’re wrapped in a warm blanket. Worth every penny!

A touch disappointing. - Edit
Service, venue and wine were fantastic. Sadly the food did not live up to expectations at all. Really sorry but I probably would not return, especially for €200 for 2 of us.
