Best Pasta I Have Ever Had! - Edit
Easily among the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever eaten at. So many amazing options available and really affordable with super nice servers. Don’t forget to make a reservation before coming!

Exquisite vegan Restaurant - Edit
We had to ask the staff if it was really vegan Carbonara as the taste was so authentic! Cannelloni were also really great! Would definitely come back once travelling to Rome again.

Undescribably awesome. - Edit
Eating at Rifugio Romano is a true experience.
Read moreNever ever had such an amazing and delicious Vegan lunch in my entire life.
My forever reason to come back to Rome.
Rifugio Romano is a family runned restaurant. The place is a bit tiny but the quality and taste of its food is undescribable.
I got to know this place because I follow the Owners daughter, Fabiola who's a food creator but to me she's also an incredible and super creative Chef, just like her husband, Davide.
To sum it up Vegan cooking is in this Family veins.
My lunch started with some Moscardini, which, I swear tasted like "real" Moscardini (a type of tiny Octopuses), Olive Ascolane and two Bruschette then I asked for their famous Gricia and I took a bite of Carbonara from the person I was with.
You cannot understand the deliciousness and I have no words to describe it.
We then had a Tiramisù, best one I've ever eaten. It absolutely beats the original non-Vegan one, hands down.
The whole lunch was extraordinary, still craving all of the dishes I've tried. The portions were very generous, for sure you won't stand up hungry.
They deserve a larger space to be able to host more customers.
The price is really worth the experience.
You must pit stop there if you're planning to go visit Rome.
Pros: Food, Staff
Cons: The place is tiny, they deserve a larger space.

Okay food, fruit flies, rudeness - Edit
The salads were good. The pizza and canzone were good. There were fruit flies buzzing around our heads the whole time. The staff was not friendly at all. Before he would let us in the door, a man who worked there demanded to know if we were vegans or not.

Era maglio prima - Edit
È stato deludente tornare in quello che era il miglior ristorante vegano e trovarlo così cambiato, mi è sembrato la materia prima non fosse più la stessa?!
Read moreAbbiamo preso gricia e carbonara, ma le abbiamo trovate grasse e salate. I saltimbocca non avevano un sapore definito e anch’essi troppo pasticciati e grassi. Peccato!
Antipasti buoni
Pros: Antipasti

Not bad but potential for some improvements - Edit
We came for a dinner right away when they open at 6.30pm. It was full right away and without a reservation, it wouldnt have been able to have a table. We expected a lot from the reviews but all in all the experience was not extrenely extraordinary. We had a risotto and pizza as main dishes, while the pizza was missing salt, the risotto was quite salty. Apart from that they were good and the two deserts were really yummy.
Read moreThe staff was not super friendly and we didn't like sitting so close to the next tables.
Still, it was nice to have some veganized Roman dishes and I could imagine giving it another try.

Great vegan post for typical roman food! - Edit
This restaurant has 4 stars as it used to be "with vegan options", but last year they switched to a fully vegan kitchen. They serve typical Italian food, and in particular dishes from Rome like pasta alla carbonara, cacio e pepe, amatriciana and so on. Everything I've ever tried here was amazing and I strongly recommend it to any vegan visiting Rome! It's close to the main train station so it's easy to reach; remember to book on their website as it's often full.
Read morePros: vegan versions of typical dishes from Rome, friendly staff, fair prices
Cons: some dishes are very oily/heavy

Il mio posto del cuore - Edit
Adoro questo posto. Tutto squisito ma la loro pizza è la più buona in assoluto ! Non ci si deve accontentare di una vegetariana o di una funghi rossa...e poi i fritti...i moscardini spaziali....insomma il top del gusto!

MOST AMAZING VEGAN RESTAURANT I EVER WAS - Edit
Me and my wife went there and had the artichokes, the bruschetones, the carbonara, the seitan escalopes al fungi and with lemon, both with baked potatoes, the tiramisu, the rocher gianduia al cuore de albicocca…all, I mean EVERY DISH was absolutely divine! Service was fast and very sympathetic and location is really nice, even though a little small.
Read moreVery romantic!❤️❤️ We can’t wait to come back!

Good not great - Edit
I expected more honestly, the presentations are great but they oversell the food which doesn't really match in terms of textures and flavors. The lasagna was good, lacked some flavor and it was a little too soft for my liking, the "meat balls" were nice but the pumpkin chips were not crunchy at all and felt almost a bit stale. Overall it was a decent meal that didn't meet my expectations.

Wir saßen spontan auf dem Gehsteig und es hat sich sehr gelohnt! - Edit
Da wir vorher nicht reserviert hatten, bot uns der Kellner an, uns extra einen Tisch auf dem Gehsteig zu platzieren. So saßen wir zwar nicht sehe bequem, aber es hat sich total gelohnt. Einfach geniales Essen!

My favourite vegan place in Rome - Edit
I had so many things off the menu during my time in Rome since it was all so delicious! Recommend the cannelloni vegan, the risotto, the carbonara, the ‘mezze maniche alla gricia’, the marinated seitan with baked potatoes, and the pizza orientale vegan. I absolutely loved every one of these dishes!
