queer & vegan - Edit
all vegan place which is also queer-friendly. it gets very busy during lunch time but they have a table where many strangers can sit together so it's possible to get a seat when you're alone.
Read morethey have 3 main and 3 side dishes each day which are announced on their website. unfortunately, it's not available in english but staff can explain.
i chose one main and a side for 13€ and was surprised by the size. was good tastewise but not special. so value for money is good.
they have many desserts including cakes ans tiramisu that looked good.

Great experience! - Edit
It's a small café/restaurant, but quite cute interior. The staff was really friendly and patient. We only had a capuccino with oat Milk and a pastry with it, but I would defintely come back for another coffee or lunch/dinner. Everything was vegan which is a huge pro!
Read morePros: Nice interior, Friendly staff, Everything vegan!

Loved the place. Hate the dessert. - Edit
Fully vegan restaurant. The food is delicious. The portions are not small but also not very filling. So might want to order several options if you are hungry. So the price might go up. But verything was delicious. That is except the pistachio cake. Must have been lying there for the entire week. Too bad for an otherwise wonderful place.

Wonderful - Edit
Seems to be a small family business. The people working there are very wholesome and kind. They took their time to explain everything on the menu. The food was very delicious and the prices are super fair. Definitely worth a visit!

Best Vegan Food in Bologna - Edit
A lot of vegans, including me, overlook the non-vegan options in a city, but in this case, the best vegan food we had in Bologna was definitely at this vegetarian organic restaurant.
Read moreWe went during brunch and while the vegan option had fewer dishes than the vegetarian one, everything was so tasty! We had a very velvety, delicious soup, and some bread with various spreads that tasted absolutely delightful. It may not sound or look like much, but everything tasted so fresh and clean that we wished we would have come here sooner.
Pros: Really friendly staff, Yummy food
Cons: Not vegan, Not many vegan options.

Happy hour - Edit
We had the happy hour set menu, so for €15 each we had a plate of two starters (chard with lemon, peppers, served with bread), a main meal (I had lentil medallions, he had lasagne), and a drink (carrot juice and wine). It was all delicious, particularly the starters and juice. Staff were so friendly - taking time to explain the menu to us as it wasn’t in English, which was very sweet. Lovely relaxing atmosphere and really not far from train station etc. So glad we checked HappyCow. Also staff weren’t aware of HappyCow - they had asked if we had a recommendation for the restaurant - so we explained the website.

Nice organic veg* restaurant - Edit
Nothing much to add to the previous reviews except that it has some outdoor seating. Also I'd suggest to make a reservation for the evenings.

Good place - Edit
Small organic vegetarian restaurant, warm and relaxed atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff (but a bit slow service), a good price/quality ratio. Estravagario is also a fair trade cafeteria where you can find herbal teas and infusions, fresh fruit and vegetables juices, homemade snacks and desserts, with some vegan options.
Read moreI went here for dinner and my overall experience was very satisfying: I ate chestnut gnocchi with mushrooms, excellent seitan cutlets in orange sauce with mixed salad and a vegan walnut strudel. The plates change every day. Unfortunately it's not open most evenings for dinner or Sundays.
Pros: excellent food quality
Cons: opening hours

Explosion of flavours - Edit
This is my all time favourite veg restaurant in Northern Italy. I live in Milan and often travel to Bologna only to taste the succulent dishes this cosy restaurant serves. Staff and atmosphere are informal and totally unintrusive. All dishes are well presented, with mouthwatering smells and packed with flavours. Estravagario means opening up to a tasty and exquisite meal, that turns out to be very light as well. Honestly, I could never get enough.

Nice - Edit
Was a proper restaurant rather than a take away which we liked. Food was average and not that much choice. Waiter insisted on speaking to us in English no matter how much we replied in Italian desperate to practice! Waitress was very sweet though.
Read morePros: Proper restaurant (not take-away)

It looked good but.... - Edit
From the outside, the place looked lovely and the menu sounded great. But when I arrived there (on August 1st 2011) I was totally bummed to learned that it closes for the entire month of August. It's probably safe to say that it's the same every year.

Nice food, warm atmosphere - Edit
Since bologna is the land of prosciutto/ham/cheese and egg pastas (be careful to ask about lard in foccacia & certain breads), it's a nice welcome to encounter a restaurant where meat or fish is off the menu.
Read moreThough it's not vegan (eggs/dairy are used), there are enough for a vegan to dig his/her chops in and walk away satisfied.
the premise of this restaurant is organic...and coffe is fairtrade.
dining room warm and friendly...i give it a thumbs up!
Pros: decent price, nice ambiance, decent food
Cons: a bit out of the way, not vegan

Healthy, good food - Edit
We stumbled upon this restaurant while trying to find our hotel, and it was a very pleasant surprise. They made a vegan plate for us consisting of beans, a hearty grain-like pasta with vegetables, potatoes with oregano, and salad. All the vegetables were organic and tasted very fresh, and the service was great. The staff speaks some English. It would be nice if they offered vegan desserts, though they did have some good dark chocolate.
Read morePros: Vegan-friendly, Healthy and organic, Helpful staff
Cons: No vegan desserts

Vegan desserts are an issue in most italian restaurants.
