Love! - Edit
Love this place! Their vegan Sunday brunch makes it the perfect place to meet up with omni friends. All the food is delicious - by anyone's standards - and there is something to please any palate. They do a good job and care about their food a lot. One of my standard go-to's.

didn't get to the food part - Edit
Tried to go here with a big group but I arrived a little late. The host/server guy said he wouldn't seat me; I'd have to sit at a different table by myself. Despite there being an empty table right next to the group and the place not being full. After some more unpleasant interactions I just left. The food looked good, too bad I wasn't able to eat there. The coffee bar staff were very nice!

Okay, I went back last month (July) and tried Brunch again. The staff was better this time, but they weren't the same people. The food was pretty good but extraordinarily salty. I had the pesto tofu scramble and thought it was tasty! My two brunch-mates had other scrambles that I tried and wasn't too impressed by. I'm going to keep my review the same 2 cows for now.
Pros: nice location
Cons: rude staff

Great brunch - Edit
This is one of those places that I love - even though they serve meat. They go out of their way to accommodate vegans, and have a healthy vegan brunch section. I really enjoyed their French toast (huge portion), though the tofu florentine was not the best we've ever had. Still, plenty of options here, and everything really hit the spot. I can't wait to go back and try their donuts and other vegan options! If Happy Cow allowed it, I'd be struggling to decide whether four or five cows was appropriate here, but because they serve meat, four it is. Which is fair enough.

I love Berkeley - Edit
I love Berkeley for it's non-vegan restaurants with very clearly marked vegan menu items. Fellini is an upscale restaurant that caters to herbivores and omnivores alike. I think that there are about 6 or 7 vegan options. Their hummus plate is amazing. I like the touch of it being served with green olives. I had the tofu and aspargus dish as my main course the first time I was there... it was way too heavy on the tofu. The other time I just had hummus since I had already eaten dinner but was out with a friend who hadn't. I wouldn't recommend the tofu aspargus dish, unless you want to eat a block of tofu and have only five spears of asparagus (and the lemongrass based sauce below it all) to break it up. Still, the other vegan menu items looked good and I like the atmosphere of this place so I will give it 4 cows. One down side wuld be that it is a bit pricy.
Read morePros: atmosphere/ambiance, vegan options in non-veg restaurant, yummy hummus
Cons: can be pricy, specials are often not vegan

finally, I get to eat brunch! - Edit
usually going out to brunch for a vegan means eating an $8 bowl of oatmeal, but NO MORE! Fellini's vegan brunch ROCKS-- I wish it were available every day. I love the Florentine, Benedict & French toast.... & I always take a vegan donut to go!

Best Tofu Scramble - Edit
This place has the most amazing tofu scramble I have ever had...but perhaps I'm biased because it was CURRY Tofu Scramble!
Read moreOn the weekends, they have a great brunch....with a LOT of vegan options.
The only drawback was the wait for food and that the waiter screwed up and put in an order for real french toast. (Why, I don't know. The rest of the group had all ordered vegan....so common sense dictates that his french toast was also vegan.) The poor guy got his food a good 20 minutes after the rest of us.
Otherwise: great place! 6 people ate for about $60
Pros: Selection, Parking, Atmosphere
Cons: Waitstaff

One of my favorites - Edit
I like this place for the atmosphere and the food. They have lots of vegan options. I've had a vegan breakfast plate that was YUM!, and two dinners. One of the dinner's was plain and just kind of merely satisfying. Still, for the vegan options, for the care, for the helpful staff, for the atmosphere and closeness to the UC campus, I really like Fellini's. They're also one of the few places you can actually always find parking at. You can also take the bus there because there's a stop right outside, which I've done.
Read morePros: brunch!, use different pans, nice staff
Cons: some plates just okay

I love Fellini!!! - Edit
This is probably my favorite restaurant in Berkeley!! The wait staff is great, the vegan brunch on the weekend is great, the vegan pizza is great!!! It's a great atmosphere too... I've come here quite a few times, and I have always left satisfied. There is a coffee place attached too. It is a bit expensive, but worth every penny!

awesome... - Edit
Not much else I can say other than that. I like Fellini and am happy to find an Italian restaurant which you can add tofu to any pasta dish. The

The servers are very conscientious and look out for your dietary needs.
