High prices

As for many restaurant in Roma you have to pay the weight. Here it's 28 euros a kilo. Quite expensive for vegan food. Great variety of meals.

Pros: Nice place with outdoor sittings, Variety of meals

Cons: You have to pay for water, Bad weight / price ratio

Amazing high end buffet

Pay by weight buffet close to the centre of Rome, not far from the Borghese. If you go, make sure you're hungry as there were so many delicious looking options I couldn't help but fill up my plate with food. Not cheap so you might end up spending a lot, but it's worth it.

Pros: reasonably central, amazing food

Cons: expensive

don't go before 12:30

The buffet only opens at 12:30 so between 9:00-12:30 you can only get vegan pastries (croissant and muffins) and soya cappuccino, which you can get pretty much everywhere in Rome, so spare yourself a trip there before 12:30 (the place isn't exactly central)

Excellent place

Really really liked this place! I ate from the buffet and it cost me €7.80. Definitely didn't fill me up though but my idea from the beginning was to try different things out and then go back for a second round only with the things I liked the most.

Most of the stuff I tried was veery tasty. Gnocchi was really good, lasagne was great, and there were other tasty things I can't remember. Didn't like a couple of things but that's just personal taste. In the end instead of going for a second plate I decided to have a dessert instead: very nice chocolate tarte for just €3.50.

Definitely recommend.

Pros: Lots of options, All vegan, Very tasty!

Cons: Can get expensive if you're not careful

Really nice totally vegan restaurant

They serve both warm and cold dishes, it's a buffe in which you take all the food you want and then you weight it.
I thought it was going to be more expensive, cause the restaurant is really nice and quite fancy :P but it's moderate price and the food is absolutely worth it
They have delicious-looking desserts ... I tried the dark chocolate pie, totally recommend it. I really liked the place!

Pros: Variety, Good service , Desserts

Not worth the price

Food is good, but it is not with the price. Moreover, it is served cold... Disappointing.

Nice and health food

So glad we managed to visit this place. Very nice selection of food and you can make your own portion and pay for what you actually ate. Delicious desserts and fresh juices. Vegan heaven.

love this restaurant

Living in Rome, I really love this place. Food is excellent and there is a great variety of dishes.
Il miglior ristorante vegano a Roma. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Atmosfera carina e una gran quantità di piatti, egregiamente cucinati dal sapiente chef Salvini (che Dio lo conservi a lungo e in buona salute)!

Pros: quality

Vegan Buffet

We went for dinner with a group of people and everyone was pleased by the variety of choices. It's very easy to pile on the food, so it can get expensive as it's by weight. My plate was particularly full. We also tried a couple of desserts, the apple tart and tiramisu. Both good. There was a little confusion about the table numbers and paying as we were one big group, but it got worked out. The two of us came back a couple of days later and ordered the bio burger that was advertised on a sign. I think they aren't used to anyone getting something other than the buffet as it took a awhile to prepare. Overall, it's a good choice to be able to try lots of different dishes in a nice atmosphere. It's a fairly large space too.

Pros: vegan buffet with lots of choices, nice space

Cons: can get expensive

delicious!

The food was amazing. So much variety, and the staff are very kind and happy to help. It's a bit on the expensive side, so because it's pay by weight, be wary of the amount of food you put on your plate when you're hungry.

Delicious

The food is great. All vegan buffet with a great atmosphere to sit and enjoy your food in. I wish they had an all you can eat option because I would have eaten so much! My only warning is know how food you're putting on your plate. The price is determined by weight and I without knowing that loaded up my plate when I was really hungry and bought 20 Euros of food! Hah! But ate it all and was worth it, going to go back.

Great idea!

We loved this concept, ie a vegan buffet, it was hard to be reasonable when filling our plates! Most of what we ate was very yummy, but I do agree with 'eye of judgement' that the food was somewhat lukewarm (we went early as well). But we didn't find it overly expensive (despite being quite greedy) and I'd def recommend it.

Pros: Great choice, Nice staff

Cons: The food could be hotter, No vegan lasagne :-(

very tasty but lukewarm food

The choice of dishes and their taste are absolutely amazing, but unfortunately most of it did not stay very warm in the trays, even though we went here at the earliest possibility (1930h). Many of the dishes are gluten free.
You pay per weight here, which is problematic if you eat large quantities, like I do. I ended up paying €40,- for a drink and my food alone (about 1200 grams), excluding the coffee and cake we had before.

Pros: really good food, lots of choice, many gluten free options

Cons: lukewarm food, very pricy

Tasty vegan buffet

The words 'vegan buffet' usually fill me with horror, but this restaurant offered the opposite - excellent food, well prepared and presented in a pleasant setting. Very friendly staff and an easy-to-reach location; we visited this restaurant both for lunch and dinner, both times there was an excellent selection of dishes, plus the vegan chocolate tart was out of this world. Good value for money too, for 20 euros you get a very filling, tasty meal. Best restaurant we visited while in Rome!

Pros: tasty food, friendly staff

Cons: None

Amazing experience

Yes, it can seem a bit pricey when you get that total, but it's really still a bargain compared to anything else. We went two nights in a row. We each had our own favorite things. I fell in love with the fennel in cream sauce. And the stuffed red peppers were just incredible. It was 3 weeks ago, so I can't remember what my husband had, but one thing was a seitan dish he loved. The cold salads were good too. Desserts were very good and not overly sweet. We spent like 26 euros for the two of us. If you want quality food, you won't find it for less.

Variety of healthy food

I went there because it was five minutes by walk from my hotel. I was a little bit afraid since I read the prices are more expensive than moderate (despite of what Happy Cow is saying). But after two days in Rome I already learned that this city would be the most expensive to eat of all other countries I visited in Europe -- cities in Sweden were cheaper than Rome. So, it wasn't so shocking that Ops! made my stomach full and my pockets empty.

Food is very good and healthy. You pay by weight, what's kind of fair. The price by kilo is not THAT fair, but you are not only paying by the food, but by the fancy ambient, etc. It wasn't my favorite in Rome, though, and I can't pay those high prices everyday. It was nice to know, but I hardly go there again.

Pros: Healthy food, Variety, Coffee and cakes

Cons: Too expensive, Too fancy

Great food - well presented

My second choice for vegan food in Rome.

I came early and all the dishes were just put in place, I was greeted and seated, went to fill my plate and got very good food. Great value for money.

Don't know what the slide-projector should achieve though.

Pros: Great food, Modern & clean, Plenty of choice

Cons: weird slide show

This is a buffet, but the food was good, some items - perfect. Unfortunately risotto was spoiled. Kitchen is not superb clean. Price for the buffet food is too much.

Pros: variety of dishes, style, conception

Cons: some dishes were cooked long time b4 visit, pricey, spoiled risotto

Great Food

This was the best Vegan food I have had in a long time. I would describe it as Vegan Gourmet Buffet. It was very crowded so I suggest making a reservation. We ate there two nights and the first night they were very accommodating as we just showed up. The second night they seemed a bit annoyed we didn't make a reservation but accommodated us anyway. If you are in Rome this is the restaurant to eat at.
