Tasty vegan food

The menu was quite extensive. The lasagnas were tasty. We each ordered a different one and enjoyed them all. Too bad we had no room for dessert.

Nice and intimate place but food could be better

It is a lovely place with moderately courteous service. Food could be better in terms of spice and size for that price. Very nice bread for a starter. Please get rid off those iPads serving as menus - use recycled paper to print them or think of another way - it’s not convenient, nor eco.

Pros: A vegan place, Tasty bread for starters , Nice location

Cons: Pricey for those portions, Weird idea of iPads serving as menus, Not the most welcoming staff

Amazing vegan Italian!

Lovely restaurant conveniently located around 5 mins walk from the waterfront. Food was amazing - the two of us shared three different dishes and a dessert. Staff were lovely. Allergens are clearly labelled on the menu which is available in both Italian and English. Wish I could come back and try some different dishes from their seasonal menu. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing Italian vegan food!

A lovely restaurant, has authentic Italian vibes but all vegan which is rare! We shared a few dishes and wished we could have tried more! The lasagne was delicious, would definitely come again! Not cheap but definitely reasonable prices to have a nice Italian meal in a beautiful location!

Pros: Delicious vegan lasagne!

Good, but work to do

I like what they are doing here and the dishes use the ingredients well but overall, the dishes we tried lacked texture & acidity and you felt like each was just a slightly different version of the other. Stick at it guys, and work on texture and acidity!

Nice little italian place

The food is really good and with lots of flavor. It is probably one of the best Italian vegan food places I've been to so far. We had the raviolis and spaghetti- both delicious. However, although the antipasto was quite nice as well the portion was dreadfully small.

Pros: Authentic Italian food, Really nice waiters

Cons: The portions are a bit small

Disappointing

The dishes are too small so you have to order two dishes to be full. I can feel that they're trying to do their best by using organic and local food but I didn't enjoy the food. Most of it was very dry and pretty tasteless.

Pros: Organic and local food

Cons: Tasteless food, Small dishes

Nice vegan restaurant

Good location and great employees. Dishes are a bit small compared with prices. Beer is too much expensive unfortunately, but lasagna is recommended!

mediocre food, good wine, friendly service

I was really happy about the possibility to eat an all vegan, italian menu in Como.
I had a starter and two "main" dishes, pasta and Strudel. My friend had a lasagna, which was actually quite nice and not "the usual kind". It didn't look great, but tasted good.

The starter was quite okay and my pasta was fine, but both absolute nothing special! My Strudel was totally dry and the pumpkin was very salty.

We did not have dessert, maybe this would have been great? The wine was very good, but I do not know much about it... i just liked how it tasted😄

The staff spoke english and was friendly, but not excessively eager to make the customers happy.

I'm sad, but I would say, it's not worth the money. If you just want to have some lasagna, then it's a good place to eat special, vegan lasagna!

Pros: all vegan, great wine, special lasagna

Cons: not so great food, expensive

Very good but slow service

The pumpkin lasagne and gnocchi a la romana are both excellent choices. However, I would advise against ordering the seitan scallops, as their texture is somewhat plastic-like and they lack proper seasoning, particularly salt.

The service is quite slow even though we were quite early. Worth the wait though, if you are not in a hurry.

Forse era la serata sbagliata.

Viste le recensioni, ci siamo incuriositi, purtroppo però la lasagna era molto secca, forse del giorno prima, prezzi alti per quello che abbiamo mangiato, personale cordiale, peccato!

Lasagne in many types

We where there for lunch. We where sitting outside, but they have a lot of tables in the inside, also a second floor.
You order with an iPad. The had three different dishes with lasagne. I think they are changing every day. We tried fennel and leek. It was very tasty. Could be for some people to less, but in Italy normally you would eat a second dish.
We got also some homemade sourdough bread with olives, or raisins and walnuts inside. We had a smoothie with banana and pear.
The staff was friendly, they didn't understood English that good.

Pros: Tasty

Ricette tradizionali vegan

Molto buono, ripropongono piatti tradizionali in chiave vegan, saporiti quanto le ricette originali. In particolare l’insalata russa e la lasagna alla bolognese sono veramente uguali e, probabilmente, anche un onnivoro farebbe fatica a distinguerli dagli originali. Il posto è veramente carino e il personale gentile. La cucina ricorda quella tradizionale casalinga, confortevole, diciamo che se cercate piatti fuori dal comune o sapori ricercati, forse non è il posto ideale. #Veganuary

Pros: Tutto vegan, Personale gentile e disponibile, Locale molto carino

Cons: Un po’ costoso

Thoughtfully curated menu, creative take on Italian favourites

A beautiful interior and atmosphere complements the thoughtfully curated menu at this delightful vegan restaurant. Italian favourites done creatively include black cabbage lasagne, tomatoes and olive corn pasta with homemade parmesan to sprinkle on (soooo good) and a chickpea and spinach tart. No freezers or microwaves used, so everything is incredibly fresh. After a shared appetizer, first and second plate, we were sadly too full for dessert. A great place for a special occasion.

Very disappointing

Unfortunately, the food was terrible. We were really looking forward to a fresh seasonal Italian meal but what we received was lacklustre at best. The entree farinata with seasonal veg was the best offering but the mains (lasagne and gnocchi) were bland, heavy and seemingly made several days prior and reheated. The homemade bread was also super dense and flavourless and seemed stale.

The restaurant presented as a more fancy establishment, but it smelled a bit funny like there had been a pile burst.

I really would have liked to give it a rave review but honestly, it’s some of the worst food I’ve had in some time.

Pros: All vegan , Not on the main tourist strip

Cons: Food is bad, Expensive, especially for what it is.

Homemade Vegan Italian

The pictures of the food certainly don’t do it justice. The lasagna was very good and definitely made fresh in house. I enjoyed every bite.

Pros: Wine pairings, Great staff , Comfort food

Didn‘t like the food

The Restaurant looks somehow „upper class“, cozy and the waitress gives her best. Unfortunately the food did not match my expectations at all. Despite of the restaurant‘s look the food seemed to be prepared with too less passion.

One dish I‘ve ordered (don‘t remember the name but it was something that can be served „before, during or after the main dish“) was simply different kinds of raw vegetables cut into slices with a little bit of oil in the middle. The ravioli (primo piatto) were served without sauce and therefore were too dry. The poatato/spinach/? dumplings on kraut were at best ok. None of the main dishes had any kind of decoration on the plate and did not look very good as well.

We didn‘t have to pay the ravioli as we didn‘t eat around three quarters of it.
