Incredible food & service. Favourite place in Rome

We tried to walk in on a Friday night and they were fully booked, which is apparently the usual and after attending on Sunday I am not surprised. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed so warmly and that continued throughout our entire meal, which was some of the nicest food I have ever eaten paired with a delicious white wine. Everything was so good that I ordered two desserts despite having a mixed starter, a main and a side! I struggled to walk for the rest of the afternoon but it was totally worth it and I’d do it again. Just a short ride outside Rome city centre, a must visit if you are in Rome

Pros: Delicious, unique food, Impeccable service from the moment you walk in , Beautiful restaurant

Cons: That I couldn’t fit more food in me!!

Another Excellent Spot in Roma!

I made reservations each night I was in Rome at a restaurant based off of the reviews you all left. I saw nothing but great things said about this place so reservations were made.

I arrived for my 2030 reservation and was seated immediately outside. Menu is available via QR code scan. I ordered an Arancini, gazpacho soup, bruschetta, and sphagettoni. Also was given an amuse bouche, which seems to be the norm in Italy.

Out of the appetizers, I enjoyed the Gazpacho the most. It was served cold which was unbeknownst to me at the time. My pasta was good as well but came out a little lukewarm. Service was a little slow, in my opinion, but it could just be my American standards when it comes to customer service.

All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again when I return to Rome.

Just delicious

Cannot recommend this place more. Worked out at £40 a head (including tip) for my husband and I to have a four course meal and a drink each, but the experience felt like a more expensive restaurant - and you could, of course, pay less by ordering fewer courses!

(Free welcome snack)
1. Shared the cheese platter
2. Antipasti - Pistachio Canolli and the Seitan Dippers
3. Main - Ghoulash and Artichoke pasta
4. Dessert - ‘Grandma’s tart’ and a Pistachio & berry cheesecake
Drinks - beer, wine & water

Lovely atmosphere, lovely staff, delicious and creative food. I can’t fault it.

Pros: Creative and exciting menu, Super reasonable for the quality of food, Friendly and relaxed experience

Try this hidden gem

It’s definitely worth going outside of the touristic area to have an actual vegan experience! You should reserve a table otherwise the chance to get a table is very low as it is crowded.
They change their menu every 3 months. My partner and I had a 4 course menu and a bottle of very good white wine for 119€. We liked everything!

Pros: Creative dishes , Friendly staff, Fair prices

Must visit if you’re in Rome!!!!!!!!!

This place is truly a hidden gem. It is a bit further away but that’s why I can absolutely recommend this place. Most of the places feel like too touristy but this restaurant has a very creative menu with Italian dishes I was looking forward to! If you’re in Rome don’t shy away from visiting this restaurant. It was the best restaurant in my trip to Italy

Pros: Super friendly staff , Delicious food choices, Reasonable prices

Excellent restaurant

This is an excellent vegan restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner at Nativa very much. The menu was imaginative and the execution first class. Flavours were subtle and classical rather than 'in your face'. Service was very attentive with the two owner(s), who were clearly enthusiastic about their restaurant, in attendance. The restaurant space is large and airy with the tables well-spaced. The decor is simple and relaxing. The restaurant is pricey but vegan restaurants in Rome tend to be quite expensive and our meal was certainly well worth the bill.
The only real negative is the location which for a visitor to Rome is inconvenient. West of Vatican City, it is a metro or bus ride (and note that inexplicably the metro seems to close at 9:00 PM), and is located in a somewhat insalubrious area opposite a laundrette and next to a take-away. We wondered whether we were in the right neighbourhood when we were looking for the restaurant. Nonetheless, when we are in Rome again we will return but this time have a taxi pick us up!

Hidden gem

Nearly missed out on this restaurant, as it wasn’t near us, but thankfully we saw the menu and managed to book a last minute table.
The staff were lovely and suggested their favourites.
Food is delicious and fresh and surprisingly affordable, especially considering the quality and the organic ingredients.
Wish we had more time in Rome to visit again!

Probably on my top 10 list - worldwide!

Wow, where to start? This place is a 10/10!
The owner as well as the rest of the staff gave us such a warm welcome and great service throughout. Even though we mixed up our reservation and came one hour late they managed to set up a table for us outside - even though it was a Saturday night and the place was packed!

On to the food - the menu was so well planned and we had a hard time choosing. We were recommended the appetiser tasting platter, which was really enjoyable with flavours on point! On to the main course we had the saffron artichoke tagliatelle as well as the risotto with asparagus and chickpea tempeh. Both delicious and the pasta was really cooked to perfection!

Would also recommend the tiramisu for dessert, but the pistachio and white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry coulis was to die for!!

Worth every penny and if I could I’d go back every week for the rest of my life. When in Rome - Do yourself a favour and book a table here!

Exceptional food and service

This was the first restaurant we visited upon arriving in Rome and it set the standard high!
The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming despite our dishevelled post flight looks. We sat down to the most incredible flavours and taste of Italy and left very full and ready to start the holiday.
We really recommend a visit to Nativa (book in advance for evenings via their IG!) as you will not be disappointed.

Pros: High quality, Delicious , Fast

Cons: Some dishes are pricey but it is worth it

Best vegan in Rome

Probably the best vegan restaurant I have tried in Rome. Welcoming bistro with modern warm decor, dog friendly and very friendly and efficient staff. The food is amazing, love the rice balls, the fresh pasta and the vegan cheese platter. I still haven’t tried the mouth watering desserts because I enjoy so much the appetisers and entrées that I am always too fool!

Pros: All homemade and seasonal ingredients , Very friendly staff, Beautiful bistro with outdoor space and friendly

Best vegan restaurant EVER

Nativa is truly the best vegan restaurant ever! They have both Italian dishes (on their vegan version) and other more sophisticated, original and super interesting options. All the ingredients they use are organic and I swear everything is SO tasteful. They cook everything (including the vegan cheeses OMG) and the desserts are the best I’ve ever had. Honestly. The owner, Valerio, is so so nice and warm and makes you feel very welcome. Great staff, great food and super nice location. Even if it is not in the city center, is very close to Vaticano and super well connected (bus, metro and city train arrive to that area in about 10 minutes from the center) and it is located in front of a park so I really saw it as an oasis in crazy Rome: green, beautiful, calm. So worth the visit! Thanks, Nativa!

Pros: Delicious food, Super nice staff, Beautiful atmosphere and music

Gustoso

Ottimo cibo vegano. Forse poca scelta, ma ogni piatto sembrava molto buono. Gli antipasti non hanno spiccato, forse per l'abuso di lime. La pasta molto buona anche se non proprio richiamante il sapore di mare. Il secondo veramente ottimo. Bravi

Stupefacente

Le nostre aspettative per Nativa erano molto alte e dobbiamo dire che sono state superate!
Il menu, anche se con prodotti stagionali (per fortuna!) è ricco e i piatti sono molto originali. Abbiamo provato: bruschetta con formaggio vegetale e “salmone”, spaghettoni con le ”sarde”, involtino di tofu e patate, panna cotta e vegamisù. Era tutto davvero squisito!
Il personale è accogliente, simpatico e gentile.
L’ambiente rilassato e tranquillo.
Consigliatissimo 🥰

Pros: Prodotti di stagione, Piatti originali, Presentazione dei piatti

Cons: Prezzi altini (ma ne valgono la pena!)

Nativa non delude mai

Ieri sera abbiamo cenato in questo delizioso ristorante. Non è stata la prima volta e ogni volta abbiamo mangiato benissimo. Servizio impeccabile. Raccomando vivamente la carbonara che è qualcosa di superlativo e i vari dessert. Ma comunque tutti i piatti sono squisiti e assolutamente non banali.

Pros: Servizio eccellente , Amabilità , Ottima cucina
