Amazing place with exceptional service - Edit
A vegan paradise, so many tasty food, dessert and drink options! Staff were extremely kind as well. The cheese plate is unreal, with cashew based cheese just like blue cheese and Camembert. The pasta dishes and desserts were phenomenal too.

suuuper good! - Edit
The "cheese" plate with homemade vegan cashew cheese was very delicious and the two pasta mains we had were incredible! So tasty! Dessert (Tiramisu) was also very very nice. Staff was super friendly, although they had a crazy amount of work. It´s safer to have a reservation - we were lucky and got the only free table, others had to leave without...

Disappointed - Edit
I really wanted to like this place since it’s all vegan, but it was overall underwhelming. I got the gnocchi and my husband got scacio e peppe. Both of our sauces were pretty bland and the herbs overpowered the food.
Read moreThe tiramisu was delicious though!

Amazing 100% vegan food - Edit
Unassuming restaurant in a side alley with absolutely delicious vegan food playing great tunes. Do yourself a favour and dine here, you won’t regret it!

Went back again tonight, they’re closed Monday-Tuesday, and had the ravioli again, gnocchi & pesto pasta and Tiramisu and all equally delicious.

Great food - Edit
My friend and I went here because it's one of the very few fully vegan restaurants in the region and we're so glad we did! The staff is friendly, the atmosphere and music is great and the food is really tasty! After our first time eating here we directly made a reservation for another day. The portions could be a little bigger but that's not too bad.

Incredibile - Edit
Sono stata da Origami quando ero incinta e non vedo l'ora di tornare con la mia bimba ed il mio compagno per mangiare di nuovo i loro piatti preparati dalla bravissima cuoca, tutto veramente buonissimo, il mio compagno che (ahimè) non è vegano ha adorato le loro lasagne. Se siete dalle parti di Spezia non potete non andare, e pure se siete un po' più lontani ne vale comunque la pena!

Fantastico! - Edit
Superfreundlich, super Essen, wir hatten grüne Ravioli mit Spinat/vegRicotta-Füllung, die waren megalecker. Zum Nachtisch hatte mein Mann Apfelkuchen und ich drei Mini-Kuchenstücke, die waren auch der Hammer! Wenn ich nochmal in La Spezia sein sollte, komme ich bestimmt wieder. Ich hätte am Liebsten die ganze Speisekarte durchprobiert. Als wir da waren, hat sich ein Mann hingesetzt, der aber wieder gegangen ist, als ihm gesagt wurde, dass es sich um ein veganes Restaurant handelt. Der weiß nicht, was er verpasst hat!
Read morePros: Alles vegan , Alle sind sehr nett , Megalecker, mit Liebe gekocht

One of my fave meals ever! - Edit
I ended up going here for 3 dinners in La Spezia - the food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. While everything was good, for me, the clear standouts were the Pansotti, the homemade ravioli dish, and the starter with the jackfruit and potato ball, plus the mousse cake dessert. Also, they were able to seat me each night, even on their busy Friday & Saturday nights - they take reservations, but leave the outdoor space for walk-ups.

Would be a 5 but - Edit
We went with friends and it’s a great place to do so so you can try lots of things and have a relaxed long meal.
Read moreFor starters we got Bruschetta and Gazpacho. Both were very tasty. The gazpacho is big enough to be a main so definitely share unless you’re quite hungry.
For mains we got two burgers and two pasta dishes. The burgers (and fries) were both great. Our companions aren’t vegan and said the wouldn’t know the California burger (which uses impossible) wasn’t meat and that it was the best burger they’ve had in a long time and they’d get it again.
For pasta we got Cacio e Pepe and Ravioli. The ravioli were very tasty (both filling and sauce), highly recommended. Sadly the cacio e Pepe tasted like boxed Kraft Alfredo and wasn’t enjoyable at all.
For the dessert we got the Chantilly and Tris Crudo. Both were delicious - I wish I could swim in the chantilly cream.
Pros: Fully vegan, Delicious food, Good service

Courtesy and great dishes - Edit
This is a very nice vegan restaurant, and fortunately not of an extremist type - just nice vegan food for everybody.
Read moreThe dishes are very good and the price range is ok (August is somewhat high being high season I guess).
Worth of notice is Claudio: a great waiter, very nice, humble and always super kind. He definitely adds a lot to the value of this place. Very nice also the young lady serving sometime - who seems to be co-owning the place.
