Delicious selection

The buffet was so great, we had for examples lasagne, vegan cheese, different types of rice and noodles, Gulasch and a big salad bar.
It was very delicious and the staff was so friendly, we where there with our little baby.
At lunch time it was very busy, so it is not ment to sit there for a long time.

Pros: An amazing buffet, Friendly staff, Very delicious

Cons: Very busy place, like in a cantina, Expensive

Too expensive

The food and atmosphere were good. However, you have no idea how much you’re going to pay in the end, and the price of $32/kg is absolutely ridiculous. I would not return only because of the exorbitant cost for the type of food that is being served. A much better pricing model would be to introduce a flat fee, and some sort of penalty for unconsumed food to minimize food waste.

Great place

We end up visiting this place 2 times while in Rome. The diversity of dishes is impressive, as well as the taste. The place is very nice.
It is expensive, though.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty food, Very nice place

Cons: Expensive

It’s as good as all the reviews say!

We had a man excellent dinner tonight at Ops. Two very filling plates plus desserts and coffee (not to mention lovely staff and fun 80’s ballads playing for ambiance) for just 37 euros. While some reviewers state differently, we definitely found this place both delicious and affordable.

Pros: The raviolis! , Chocolate cake!, Basically everything :)

Great food, very friendly service

Very good vegan buffet restaurant in a not very touristic area of rome, offers a large variety of vegan versions of Italian classics and more, warm an cold, cooked and fresh. Just take a plate and pile up. Everything we‘ve tried was great, and we‘ve tried many :-)
The service is very friendly and everyone speaks English.
Attention: the plates are quite big and you might be tempted to try as many dishes as possible, because everything looks delicious, then you might end up wir a bill of 30 euro for 1 person, and that‘s before drinks and dessert.

Pros: Many options to choose from, Great also for non-vegans, Very friendly service

Cons: Bill could be high if you pile up too much

Tasty food but crazy prices

Honestly, I hate giving low ratings to fully vegan places. Especially when the food is good, as it was the case for this place. However, I think it's ridiculous that we paid 50 euros (2 people), drinking tap water and leaving the place still hungry (of course no dessert). Not a sustainable pricing scheme. It goes by weight, but it's impossible to understand how much you're going to spend, and 32€/kg is way too much.

Vegan foodie heaven

I love buffets and I love vegan food, so they already won me with the vegan buffet thing. But omg the food is insanely good. Amazing variety and quality! Seitan to die for, and lovely Italian cuisine fusion. It's not the cheapest place, but for a delicious all vegan place in the center of Rome, it's fantastic.

Good variety

Went twice, and saw some different food at the buffet each time. Good variety of food at the buffet - lasagna, penne pasta, ravioli, salads, rice, etc. As others have mentioned, it can be pricey depending on what you get as it’s by weight.
They also have a good dessert selection. The chocolate cake was very sweet.

Da evitare

Il cibo a buffet è sicuramente vario ma la qualità è tra il mediocre e il pessimo, la vera sorpresa però è stata il conto di 60€ in due bevendo solo acqua e senza prendere il dolce.
Purtroppo il cliente non ha modo di controllare quanto spende visto che il costo del cibo è a peso.

Pros: Totalmente vegano

Cons: Cibo mediocre, Costoso senza un motivo

Dire che la qualità del cibo di Ops è tra il mediocre e il pessimo.. wow.. quando hanno un'attenzione e fantasia incredibile nel creare i loro piatti.
Qui abbiamo dei problemi con le papille gustative eh.. incredibile.

Evidentemente sono capitato nella serata sbagliata, ma confermo: ho provato molti dei piatti disponibili e non se ne salvava nessuno. Stesso giudizio l'ha avuto la persona a cena con me.

È sempre tutto terribilmente buono, perciò si, forse siete capitati in una serata particolare, più unica che rara.

Vegan Buffet in Rome

My husband and I were really excited about eating at this place based on the great reviews online. However, the food tasted alright, and there was nothing spectacular about it. There were not many options during lunch. I wonder if dinner would’ve been better.

Pros: Friendly staff , Great house wine

Very good food that’s pricey but probably worth it

A bit pricey, but I think it’s worth it. It’s pay by weight, so you fill your plate or tray up with whatever you want. They have a very good selection of veggies and grains, and I was excited to try some stuff I’ve never seen before. It was all very tasty.

Aussi bon que cher

Délicieux buffet au poids, beaucoup de choix (pâtes, salades, PST, tofu, seitan, légumes grillés, desserts) !
Cadre sympathique même si le service n’est pas des plus agréables.

Delicious and healthy food!

Freshly made healthy and organic food. Comfortable walking distance from the Borghese Glery. In particular loved the selection of pastas and salads. A must go to when in Rome!

Unreal

Weigh and pay buffet with nothing but fresh 100% vegan food.

I had one plate with as many different dishes i could.

This is nothing like any vegan place I have been to in the UK and would 100% recommend to someone stopping in time vegan or not.

Pros: Lots of options, Friendly staff , Quality fresh food

Very tasty, complete vegan buffet

Awesome food! Everything was sooo tasty. Buffet started at 12:30 and was clearly labeled (gluten, soy, etc.). Also very nice employees and warm welcome. Ambiente was clean and welcoming, nice outside area. Total must-go!

Update: the price was appropriate for us: 2 full plates (500g 600g), 1 bottle of water and 2 big pieces of cake made in total about 35 euros.

Delicious completely vegan Buffett

We went to Ops Cucina Mediterranea for dinner and I was really impressed how much choices they had! The Buffett is completely vegan with warm and cold dishes, Dips and Salads. Everything we tried was special and delicious!
We payed around 15€ for each plate, but we had both two plates, because it was so good! To drink we had self made juices, which were also very good! They also offer desserts and different cakes. We tried a chocolate cake and a cream with berries. It was good, but a bit expensive.
For me it was the best place in Rome we tried for a vegan dinner, because they had so much choices and the taste was so good. It is a bit more expensive, but it’s worth!
Would go there definitely another time!
