Worth checking out

Good to find somewhere that has a couple of vegan options in Bologna. I got the brisa vegan panini, which was ok. The bread wasn’t the freshest, but the meat alternative was tasty. Overall the sandwich was a bit salty, but it was still worth checking out for a quick lunch bite.

Pros: A few vegan options

Not terrible, not the best

I found the bread and its filling slightly too salty for my taste. I think this was because of the sun-dried tomatoes and olive tapenade which are already very salty by themselves. I also tried the vegan carpaccio and soy cream cheese on the side. The carpaccio was a little bit flavourless, but the soy cream cheese was really nice. They have 4 bread options and a lot of sides, so maybe the other options would’ve been better for me.

Great sandwiches

I had the vegan plate and it was great. I, however, thought it was a little too expensive for what you got. Will definitely come back though and just order a sandwich to go.

Pros: Great taste

Cons: Expensive

It deserves 5 stars

I wish happy cow would let us out 5 stars for non vegan places cause this one deserves it! Lots of vegan options, all clearly labeled! And the only place making vegan taglieri (charcuterie plate) I’ve seen. Nice and friendly staff, and great vegan meats. Selections of vegan panini and 1 vegan taglieri

Pros: Lots of vegan options (clearly labeled), Good vegan food

A not very big place, but with ample space outside. There are several sandwiches and vegan options, all designed to best combine all the flavors

Great vegan panini

All the vegan options are clearly labled on the menu. Offers various vegan panini and other dishes. The vegan panino with dried tomato, eggplant and ‘salami’ was simply spectacular. Great place if you are looking for a small lunch

I’d give it 5 stars if possible

We really enjoyed our lunch here, not a vegan restaurant but it has several delicious options clearly labeled on the menu. We had the vegan platter and a sandwich and both were amazing!! The location is also great and the waiters were friendly and spoke a decent amount of English. The only con was the cover charge which was quite high, we paid nearly 5 euros for it.

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan options , Finally a vegan platter in Italy , Position

Cons: Cover charge was a little too high , Meat displayed at the front of the store

Went here two days in a row

This place made me so happy! I want to give it 5 stars but sadly it does meat too so I've removed a star for that reason only. However! The vegan charcuterie is pretty special and all the little deli bits and pieces are absolutely delicious and only 1 euro a pop - probably be charged 3 times that in the UK for a lesser product. Had a toasted sando the next day filled with all my favourite things from the charcuterie the day before. So so good!

Pros: All made onsite (AFAIK) , Brilliant prices, Great staff

Vegan butcher's

We never would have guessed that this tiny butcher like place offers such an outstanding vegan options. We ordered the vegan plate with some additional choosable items and were blown away. It was actually my first time trying vegan prosciutto and must say it is very near the original if I remember well. All products are homemade and really tasty. We got to talk to the owner about their family business and learned that he was a vegetarian himself. The place has outside seating, reasonable prices and great wine too.

Even better than expected

I was hesitant to eat here because I’m not a huge fake meat person but I’m so glad I did! It’s very centrally located and the vegan options are clearly labeled. I went on a Sunday for lunch and while it was full, I was seated fairly quickly. I did the create your own and chose both vegan meats, olive spread, sundried tomatoes, eggplant, and artichoke- SO good. The portions were bigger than expected so you could definitely just choose 1 meat and 1 veggie for the create your own sandwich. If I was in bologna longer I would definitely come back

Pros: Clearly labeled vegan options, Good to bring an omnivore, Nice staff

Cons: Small space

Great vegan options!

The place is clearly not vegan and never the less they take their vegan options seriously. We had 2 paninis and they were really delicious. One was "ham" and the other was "cheese"

Pros: Delicious, Beautiful presentation, Decent price

Cons: They have meats on display

Best Sandwich EVER

I got the ban ban sandwich (chickpeas carpaccio, aubergines, rocket sauce) and added some sun dried tomatoes and it was mind blowing!!
I think pan8 is the only place that has quality cold cuts and quality and tasty vegan options that resemble Bologna’s tradition.
The sandwiches are huge so you’ll definitely be full.
Don’t miss this gem while in Bologna!

Pros: Multiple Vegan Options, Great atmosphere , Friendly staff

Vegan meat alternatives

Loved the plate of vegan cold cuts and cream cheese I had. Great to be able to have an alternative to the traditional meat dishes and paninis in the region. Friendly waiter who spoke good English.

Amazing

A few very clearly labelled veggie and vegan options, and the option to ‘build’ your own sandwich if desired. Vegan cream cheese and vegan cold cuts available as well as other more obvious choices like sun dried tomatoes and courgette. I absolutely recommend the pear and ginger sauce if you are creating your own sandwich.

Amazing vegan choices

I'll admit it: I try to avoid non-vegan foods. I just don't want to have to explain what vegan means and risk being served non-vegan items. However, Sundays in Bologna are not the time to be picky about where you go for food as many vegan places are closed.

The panini with lentil and bean-based cold cuts were absolutely outstanding. I really wasn't expecting anything like this. Sadly, the place was really busy and we were running short on time so we couldn't eat more for takeaway.

If you're in Bologna, do yourself a favor and check out this place. You won't regret it!

Pros: Excellent vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: Not vegan

got saved by pan8

After walking for an hour trying to find an open vegetarian / vegan restaurant we went to Pan8. We were cold and hungry and got seated in a crowded terrace. In that state of mind the sandwiches were perfect for us: warm, tasty and big!!! I was even clever enough to order two more sandwiches to go. Two options were "meaty" and one option was with legumes, vgn cream cheese and caramelized onion (if you for some reason avoid meaty flavours). Recommended!

Pros: big sandwiches, lot of options, vegan faux meat
