Amazing!!! - Edit
Regarding the vegan dishes-
Read moreThe most delicious and special place in Rome! There are lots of options!
Every bite there is more amazing And full of flavors than the other.
We ordered seitan, eggplant patties (the most delicious dish we have ever eaten! really), and unique risotto!
Everyone also got in the begginnig a meal of pink tomato sauce with Cashew cheese (For free. it was of course so tasty) And another large basket of breads.
really, high level of food. Also excellent wines and service, and in general the whole design of the restaurant.

Amazing - Edit
The atmosphere and flair of this restaurant is rather high class I would say. The food tastes really good although the portions are very small and it's still quite pricey (around 13 to 14€ per dish). You can get a whole vegan menu (50€) or just a single dish. The offer a lot of vegan options and the staff is very friendly.

Great staff, disappointing food - Edit
After reading such positive reviews of Il Margutta I was really excited to visit it. Unfortunately I felt it really wasn’t worth the money. The staff themselves were really lovely, the restaurant itself is nice, the food was well presented, and I enjoyed my dessert. The starters and main courses just weren’t up to scratch, my main complaint is that they were bland / under-seasoned. I was in a group of 4 people, eating various dishes, and we all found the same thing. Perhaps we just got unlucky - but I really felt the food should have tasted better for the money we paid for it.

Disappointing Sunday buffet - Edit
Been here many times before the pandemic and it was amazing. What a shame that the vegan food now is so limited and such a let down. Gorgeous surroundings but the (pricey) buffet options were a runny tasteless potato mash, plain sautéed spinach, plain basmati rice, reheated (dry) falafel, pumpkin/lentil soup…got excited seeing there was a seitan pasta but it was so bland. All the food was hand temperature and needed lots of seasoning. Pudding was nice but only 2 options of brownies and fruit salad. I really want to support this place as it’s veggie and vegan, not sure how much the pandemic has affected its resources but for the options and price, there are plenty of other places.

Brunch banale e costoso - Edit
Un brunch di 25€ per verdure cotte, cotolette di seitan, lasagna, polpettine unte e un immangiabile riso al pesto cotto al forno. In due con un vino ben rincarato abbiamo pagato 80€

Fairly dissappointing - Edit
I have been to this restaurant twice and I expected a lot more from what I had seen online. The place attempts to create a very fancy atmosphere for which they also put the prices. I had the following:
Read more- Tagliolini with cherry tomato & figs: Absolutely to die for! I have rarely had such a good pasta dish.
- Seitan cutlet (recommended by the waitress): This was not good at all though and literally just served on a few leaves of lettuce. It was more like something you would receive in a 'loving hut'.
- Maccheroncini with aubergines, tomato, capers & olives. I was literally just served a tomato pasta with way too mcuh chili/pepper. Not bad but not even remotely reflecting the price (14 for a pasta that wont fill you up) nor the description.
Staff seem posh and uninterested. Pick your dishes carefully.

Original and creative vegan fine dining! - Edit
Super creative, artisanal, fine dining. They have been there since 1979 and are one of the original and best vegetarian restaurants in the world. Great ambience and character in a wonderful and lively setting.

Slechte service - Edit
Restaurant zou volgens website om 12 uur open gaan. De ober zegt om half 1 open te gaan. Om kwart voor 1, na 3 kwartier gewacht te hebben, gaan ze nog steeds niet open en hangt het personeel maar een beetje rond. We zijn na lang wachten dus maar weer opgestapt. Teleurgesteld.

Una cena fuori dal comune - Edit
Posto molto bello, una cena fuori dal comune, sia per l'esposizione delle opere d'arte mentre si mangia, sia per il menù molto diversificato nelle sue opzioni vegetariane e vegane. Avrei ordinato tutto il menù!!
Read moreUnica cosa da migliorare sono gli spaghetti al sapore di mare con il plancton perché non sapevano tanto di mare (erano molto buoni lo stesso!). Il personale è molto gentile e ci tornerò, così mi godo un'altro artista e altri piatti

Great service - Edit
Great service, very friendly and helpful staff. Vegan food was OK but nothing special for such a more upscale place (and one dish was a bit salty). I'd go there again if I was in the corner, but for the food I wouldn't go miles out out of my way to get there. Nice setting.

Cena vegana ottima - Edit
Sono stato a cena in questo ristorante con il mio ragazzo e una coppia di amici. Sul menù ci sono alcuni piatti completamente vegani e tanti altri indicati come opzioni vegane che è possibile riadattare. Abbiamo assaggiato due piatti a testa e siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti, è stato tutto buonissimo. In particolare gli spaghetti di zucchine ai fiori di zucca sono stati il piatto migliore a mio parere. Siamo stati serviti da Valerio, che è stato davvero gentile e disponibile. Nel complesso è stata un'ottima cena e consiglio davvero questo ristorante.

Very nice veg dinner - Edit
This is one of if not the oldest dedicated veg restaurants in Rome. It’s quite nice with the decor and vibe, off the busy high street, and priced accordingly a bit high. Service was prompt and the dishes were all very well presented. The risotto I had was very rich and flavorful. If you are vegan definitely specify that as it seemed like most things were made with dairy by default.
