Vegan Menue made in heaven - Edit
The restaurant offers a vegan 4-course-Menue. You can choose from up to four dishes per course. The food was exceptional. Staff is very friendly and the ambience is typical Italian. This restaurant offers for over 10 years a vegan menu. Meat and fish is also available.

Best I've ever had - Edit
The food here was a 5*, however, not being a full vegan restaurant. I can't. Sooooooo. The menu was really good and the food was outstanding. I have eaten great vegan options before. But, when a restaurant isn't a specialist in vegan and produces this. It's amazing. I really can't recommend it enough. The staff were also incredibly friendly.

Great Experience - Edit
Full vegan menu with option for a tasting menu in Italian and English. Food was superb, and you get a complimentary vegan caprese for the first course, complimentary bread, and end with complimentary limoncello. As other reviewers have said it is pricy with smaller portions, but seemed reasonable for the quality, especially if you are familiar with tasting menu style restaurants. I will say my omni husband had WAY bigger portions, but he also paid more (omni menu is Ala carte only). Would recommend for a special dinner in Venice!

Great food - Edit
The food was really good. They have a separate vegan menu with several options to choose from. Had the eggplant parmigiana and the gnocchi, which were both very good. The staff were also very service minded and made the dining experience great.

Excellent! - Edit
We loved the garden area. Be athletic if you want to use the bathroom. The potties are nearly on the ground! Friendly staff. The fried courgette was pretty and tasty. Great eggplant main. Lovely time.

Fine dining with vegan options - Edit
This place has its own separate vegan menu which was kind of surprising.
Read moreIt’s a fine dining establishment so smaller portions are to be expected.
Conveniently located nearby my hotel so was very easy to find
Food was tasty but not that special. It’s pricey for what you get.
If you want something else than the usual pasta and pizzas, then try this place.
Friendly and fast service. Staff speaks English well.
Pros: Separate vegan menu, Friendly and fast service
Cons: Pricey for what you get., More vegan options are always welcome

Really recommended - Edit
I had a lovely experience at this restaurant. They have a fully vegan menu with some really unconventional choices. Food is fairly simple, but packed with flavour and plated very nicely. We spent 68€ for a four course meal with a tiny welcome bite. As a chef myself, I was very pleased with the food and throughly enjoyed myself. Service is fast, attentive and very good overall.
Read moreThis place is on the costly side, but you won’t leave hungry if you get the whole menu. Comes with bread too.

Cons: Cost

Menù a parte vegano ma un po’ caro - Edit
Diverse scelte per ogni portata. I piatti sono veramente molto buoni e il personale molto cortese. Peccato il prezzo sia molto alto (antipasti a 22€ circa).

Not bad food but overpriced - Edit
It is a good option if you want a safe vegan choice, since they have a full vegan menu. Portions are very small and very expensive.

A lot of vegan options (it's expensive, though) - Edit
This is a well-known restaurant in the centre of Venezia. The menu is mainly fish-based, but there is an extensive vegan section (with three starters, three firs courses, three second courses, and three desserts), which is positively surprising.
Read moreThe fiori di zucca are amazing, and also the stuffed paccheri (with aubergines) are really tasty. The waiters are friendly and attentive.
The prices are high (55 Eur per person with one shared appetizer, one first course dish each, a glass of wine each, and some water).

Expensive, fine - Edit
Great that they have an all vegan menu. I love that and there aren’t many restaurants that have that. So props where props is due. But the portions were small and expensive. It was good but not good enough and not filling enough for what we paid.

Awesome place, but expensive - Edit
They have a vegan section on the regular menu with 3 or 4 dishes in each part, appraisers, first course and 2nd courts, plus desserts. I recommend the parmigiana. The wine list also is good quality and some rather pricey options. Our waiter was really helpful and professional. Made a special occasion for our dinner in Venice and was worth the price (unlike many other expensive things in this city!)
Read morePros: Lots of clearly identified vegan options, Nice terrace, Knowledgable waiter and good service

Highly recommend but pricey - Edit
This place had its own separate vegan menu including starters , first choice and second choice which were basically mains and 3 options for vegan dessert. Me and my daughter had altogether 5 options from the vegan menu and they were all delicious and excellently presented. On the expensive side but worth it for the quality. The waiters fully understood what vegan was.

Amazing food - Edit
Had the best vegan Main at this place; crusted beetroot fillet with truffle sauce. It was amazing! They have a whole vegan menu and food was varied and different. Great for vegans and non-vegans

Served me meat without apology - Edit
Be careful when ordering here! This place accidentally gave me non-vegetarian pasta which I ate some of before realising. Upon bringing the mix up to the waiters’ attention we received no apology and were still charged for the item in full.
Read moreMoreover the gin and tonic was priced at €20, more than some of the mains, which to me seemed predatory.
Pros: Food was tasty in the end
Cons: Gave me meat, No apology, Overpriced drinks

Good food and service - Edit
Separate vegan menu with appetisers, first course, main course and desserts. Around 12 options total. Service was great and food was amazing, but it's on the price side, even for venice. I had the paccheri past first course, vegan cordon bleu second course and the strawberry soup with ice cream for dessert. All my meals were amazing.

Excellent vegan menu - Edit
This restaurant was great for a fancy meal out without being too insanely expensive. They have a fully vegan section of their menu and offered delicious options on a menu deal too. The staff know what vegan is and were really helpful and attentive. I’ve recreated the pistachio pasta already as it was so delicious, and they let us help ourselves to limoncello at the end of the meal too! Definitely recommend.
