Amazing vegan pizza

I had a truffle pizza which was so F'ing good. The vegan cheese was very nice, the base was perfect traditional Italian base, the truffles were divine.

We also had a few of their vegan deserts which were absolutely fantastic. Chocolate pudding and tiramisu.

The garlic bread was ordinary, was just some cold toasted bread drizzled with cold oil and topped with raw garlic. Perhaps this is just a particular style, but for me I prefer if the garlic is cooked and it is all served hot.

My partner had the lentil lasagne which she wasn't blown away by. I liked it but it paled in comparison to my truffle pizza and after she tasted my pizza she cursed her choice! There was a lot to choose from and I would definitely return to try more of it.

Pros: Excellent food, Good choice, Good portion

Cons: Expensive, Garlic bread wasn't good

Nice Italian restuarant

We ate here a fair while ago. The entourage is nice and the staff very helpful and friendly. We tried a pizza and pasta. I remember not being that fond of the pasta I had but the pizza was very nice. We finished the meal with desserts which I shouldn't have done as it was too much but oh so yummy! If you are craving a good vegan Italian meal, this is the place to be!

Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Nice entourage

Cons: They serve meat

INCREDIBLE vegan pizza & pasta

Heavenly pizza & pasta, homemade vegan cheeses, incredible wine list, vegan chef who makes vegan desserts that aren’t on the menu (just ask!), in a nice location with indoor/outdoor seating, can handle large groups, attentive staff, vegan Parmesan on the table (that wasn’t just a pile of nooch, lol). A 5 star experience, without a doubt. Tried the vegan whole wheat pasta with truffle cream sauce, the large vegan margherita pizza, focaccia & the Cuba libre. Absolutely cannot wait for more: we’re coming back tomorrow!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Large portions , Legit flavors

Fantastic Pizza

Came here for the vegan pizza and was not disappointed. I got the marinara which had the best vegan mozzarella I’ve had in Southeast Asia. The executive chef is vegan and has done an incredible job of veganizing some classic Italian dishes.

Delicious vegan Italian

Al of my vegan Italian food was amazing. They even have vegan parmesan. Service was fast and friendly. I sat outdoors, however there is also an inside seating area. Don’t skip the vegan chocolate mousse! I’ll definitely make this restaurant a regular stop.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Location, Upscale atmosphere

AMAZING- 5 Stars

I had the Gnocci but asked for the cream and mushroom sauce. It was SO good. Had vegan garlic bread, also delicious. All vegan!
My Omni husband had a pizza (with meat) and he loved that, so great option for everyone.
Prices you would expect in Aus, not Thailand. But worth it nonetheless!

Pros: Vegan options clearly marked , Delicious , Variety

Cons: Expensive

Vegan chef, Fabio, running this restaurant

We had a relaxed late afternoon lunch. Pizzas, Greek salad, vegan purple potato gnocchi was all super...

He needs more support from vegan customers to convert fully to vegan only...

Cons: Most restaurants in Thailand are quite pricy...

Fantastic restaurant

I was really surprised to find such a great restaurant in Kata. It's just off the side street at the intersection. The pizza and pasta were brilliant, as was the service. Highly recommend.

Pros: Vegan cheese, Great atmosphere, Vegan dessert

Cons: None

Lots of options and a vegan specials board!

Friendly service, nice semi outdoor seating in a quiet back street but very close to main road. Interesting options and what I had was very nice, purple gnocchi with asparagus.

Pros: Lots of options, Fair prices, Vegan specials board as well as clear menu labels

Pizzas with vegan cheese

Be aware, the address on here and on Instagram are not correct!! Facebook and google maps have the correct location.

Food was really nice. Tried one of the vegan pizzas and a vegan lasagne with lentils, they had two kinds. Prices are reasonable, I think lasagna was ~250 and so was the pizza.

Pros: Vegan cheese, Reasonable price, Variety of options

This is the place to go if you’re craving (vegan) pizza

The pizza here was very good! As a vegan you have three pizza and a few more pasta etc. options. The staff is friendly and serves your food fast. I ordered a vegan pizza. The cheese (also vegan of course) was very good. Unfortunately they used canned mushrooms, which was disappointing for the price. All in all I definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Vegan cheese/ vegan options/ clearly marked , Fast and friendly service, Tasty food

Cons: On the pricier side

Great vegan options

Going in an Italian restaurant in Asia sounds crazy but ... After 10 days of spicy food a good pizza is refreshing !
A lot of dishes are fully vegan and some days a special vegan menu is aviable.
I've try the vegan pizza and is was delicious for a decent Price.
A Real vegan friendly place in Kata

Pros: A Real vegan friendly place

Great place with plenty vegan options

This place has a lot of clearly marked vegan and vegetarian options. Run by an Italian who invented some of the vegan dishes himself. I had purple potato gnocchis and they were delicious! The chef also recommends vegan wholewheat pasta with mushrooms, no-meatballs and lasagne with lentils. Food is good and honest as in Italy. Definitely worth another visit. Also the prices are quite fair in comparison to other places nearby.

Pros: A lot of vegan options, fair price

Cons: None

Loved the vegan food

The chef is vegan and experiments with his menu resulting in quite a few vegan options to choose from. I had the purple potato gnocchi with asparagus sauce tomatoe coulis. My wife had the meatless lentil and quinoa balls with a rich Italian tomato sauce and rosted potatoes.

Pros: Tasty wholesome vegan food.

Cons: None.

Disappointing

Having read the excellent reviews on the restaurant and its food we were disappointed to try the focaccia, lasagne and caneloni. The focaccia base was not what we were used to, the garlic on it was cooked so it didn't have a garlic flavor but rather a burnt garlic flavor, the lasagne is pre-prepared and was just heated according to the waiter. It was really plain tasting. The cannelloni did not look like a cannelloni and was also plain tasting. Perhaps just our bad luck with the meal choices as these were not recommended on happy cow nor by the staff, we just chose what looked good. Top it off with them unable to accept our credit card or print any bill due to their internet failure

Pros: Lots of vegan options, support veganism, wifi,, Inside and outside and balcony seating

Cons: Expensive, pre cooked food at home reheated, plain, and tasteless meals

Dear EitanGoldstein
I am sorry to read about your disappointing but I need to explain you some misunderstandings.
1)Our Focaccia is make with rosemary if you like with garlic you can ask with it so the one you said "didn't have garlic flavor" was rosemary and of course don't taste like a garlic
2) about the Lasagna if you like to eat a fresh Lasagna take about 1 hour need time to make the sauce (lentils need to soak 1 night) after prepare the sauce is time for the pasta, I need to mix the flours with water and need to rest 30 min in the fridge and than i can make the Pasta layers at the same time make the vegan bechamel and assemble all the ingredients together
3) for Canelloni is the same make spinach and tofu' for the filling, make the pasta and rest 30 min. in fridge make the pasta layers and roll it with the spinach
Now I hope you can understand in all the restaurant not only in mine with 80 seat cannot make everything same as you want and about the test I let the others reviews speak for me
Thank you

Should be 5 stars

We happened to pass by this restaurant after we'd already eaten out one night. They had an Aboard outside with vegan specials so we decided we had to go back and try. We were also told one of the staff was vegan.

When we went back, we spoke directly with the vegan manager who explained that he makes all the pizza bases and vegan cheese himself! He even goes into the kitchen when vegan food has been ordered, just to make sure it's perfect!

There was so much choice on the menu that we decided to ask what the managers favourite was. He recommended the special of spaghetti with mushrooms and truffle cream - which was gorgeous! We also had the truffle pizza, garlic bread and olive pate.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you're vegan. The manager puts so much love into the food and wants as many vegan customers as he can - supply and demand!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Amazing vegan manager , Extremely yummy vegan food

Cons: A bit pricer but worth it!

Delicious vegan Italian food

My husband and I have been staying at Club Med near by and decided to try this place last night. We tried the olive pate, lentil & quinoa meatballs with potatoes, truffle & porcini pizza with vegan cheese and the vegan chocolate mousse.

Everything was so amazing. I loved both mains, the cheese on the pizza was so meaty and stretchy! I also loved that they didn’t charge extra for vegan cheese. The dessert was a great to finish up on.

It was quite expensive, we ended up paying 1000 baht for all of the above plus 3 soft drinks, so the prices were on par as back home but it was worth it for a once off treat!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious vegan cheese at no extra cost, Vegan dessert!

Cons: Price was quite high even for Phuket

Delicious vegan pizza!

The pizza and chocolate mousse are so good. Pizzas cost 250 baht, but given how rare vegan cheese is in Thailand, it’s worth it!

Pros: Impressive, homemade vegan cheese!

It is slightly more pricey than usual Thai prices, but it is still very cheap compared to the UK!

Definitely go
