Vegan bistro

Vegan bistro with cozy atmosphere. The menu of the day was very good, food is earthy and lovely. Not very big so probably better to book in advance. Only down side: they keep the door open but It was freezing cold, i wasnt even able to take off my jacket.

Amazing Find

It's very difficult to be vegan in northern Italy, so this place in Domodossola is a real treat. The food and the selection of wine by the glass, are very good.

Pros: Location - on a beautiful square, Right next to a gelateria that had a vegan gelato.

Welcome surprise

Surprised to find a 100% plant-based place in this area! Even better that everything is homemade and organic. It was a little disappointing that the kitchen was closed after three, but two foccacias each and a nice chocolate cake was already very lovely. The choice of music was interesting ... I'm a barbie girl to experimental techno back to oppan gangnam style ... but that didn't spoil our cosy valentines dinner. Curious to come back one day for the full menu that looked lovely!

Better for lunch than for dinner

We were there in the evening wich was a bit sad because they just serve focaccia and toasts for dinner. The menu looked very cute and the dishes for lunch very nice. The toasts were okay but nothing special.
Great location, i love the square, maybe better for lunch.

Pros: Nice location, Everything bio and vegan - very soecial, Nice drinks

Cons: Menu only in italian, For dinner a bit smaller and simplier dishes

Vegan gem right in the middle of town

Unfortunately I came before the kitchen was open and I could only try their toasts. Both were excellent, very tasty and 100% vegan (like everything else). The only thing the toasts might a little pricey for the size. Overall it’s great to have a yummy vegan restaurant in such a wonderful location.

Pros: Location, Taste

Cons: Price

Fresh food

They have more limited food options in the evening so I had focaccia sandwich which was very satisfying. It’s a lovely location in the beautiful square. Staff are very friendly.

Superb location for lunch

The place is situated at a picturesque square. They have a terrace and place inside. The menu is fully vegan and organic as well. The physical menu contains nice sayings that promote veganism 👍🏼. The menu is only in Italian, so we had issues with reading it, but the staff is very friendly and helpful.

The adjacent terrace next to the place plays popdance music and turn up the volume up when they have guests. It can make it noisy and not a good place for a peaceful sit.

We had a croissant which was decent and filled focaccias which was pretty okay. It was not spectacular but nonetheless pretty good.

What could be improved on:
- Adjacent terrace is a bit too loud
- the bottom of the cheesecake has a little sandy structure. a crunchy bottom would improve it
- the bill does not show what you bought. This should be improved on. In the mean time it would be nice if staff told what they billed. Unfortunately they did not.
- they have an empty can of a traditional Dutch sweet Haagsche Hopjes as decoration. They could remove it, as the sweet itself is not vegan.

Pros: Located at picturesque square, Friendly staff

Cons: Noise from adjacent terrace , Bill not readable

No way! Been here too a few months ago. It was pretty surprising to find a vegan restaurant in this relatively remote place. Such a coincidence :p

A Hidden Gem for Delicious Vegan Delights

Sali e pistacchi is hands down my favorite place! I often go there for a delicious snack, and sometimes for lunch. The ingredients are always fresh, and its central location is really convenient. I love that you can dine outdoors, especially on sunny days. Even my non-vegan friends and family members have been pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of the food, despite their initial skepticism. I’m really happy to have discovered this place!

Mit viel Liebe.....

Nettes kleines Restaurant-Café, sehr sympathische Bedienung die auch deutsch und englisch spricht.
Wir hatten Lasagne, ein Reis- und ein Tofugericht - alles sehr lecker.
Zum Desert Apfelcake und Schokotarte - einfach himmlisch.
Danke :-)

Ottimo ristorante

Una piacevole sorpresa, tantissima scelta per le colazioni, a pranzo o toast, o focaccia o piatto del giorno: difficile scegliere. Ambiente piacevole e tranquillo in estate dev’essere molto bello mangiare fuori sulla piazza con i portici medievali.

Pros: Buono, Bevande particolari , Ambiente piacevole

Disappointed - food only served for lunch

Food seems nice. Was not able to try it because you can’t eat here after lunchtime. The toast I got was ok, all other stuff too. The staff was partly unfriendly and rude, makes fun of guests when they think they don’t understand Italian. Overall disappointing.

Pros: Nice outdoor seating , Cute place , Menu looks good (not able to try it)

Veganes Restaurant im Herzen von Domodossola

Schöne Stimmung und gemütliche Terasse. Lokal, saisonal & vegan. Was will man mehr?
Die Gerichte sind immer sehr schmackhaft und man kann einen Teller mit allen Tagesgerichten nehmen um sich nicht entscheiden zu müssen.

Pros: Schmackhafte Gerichte, Auswahl an Desserts, Snacks und Getränke mit Pflanzenmilch

Pretty basic

Came at the time the kitchen was closed.
At the time the only options were toasts and focaccia and all kinds of beverages
Toast and focaccia were average, a bit dry. Nothing special or mind-blowing 🙈
Expected a bit more 🥲

Amazing cafe

Such nice staff, healthy varied food. I suspect they make their own tempeh. On a quiet beautiful square. Highly recommend this place. Great value too.

Aperitivo e cena gustosi e vegan

Prezzo contenuto, 4 piatti corposi tra cui scegliere (9€) oppure un misto di tutto (12€). Ho preso il tempeh ed il piatto era abbondante e con contorno molto curato.
Cheaper than usual, 4 main courses to choose (9€), with even a “a little bit of everything” choice for 12€. I had a tempeh with veggies and was top notch for quantity and quality.

Pros: Only vegan, Craft beer 😍, Nice people

Cons: Cous cous not good as tempeh

Super trouvaille

Nous nous sommes arrêtés exprès sur la route des vacances et ça en valait le coup.
Le staff a été top et a vraiment pris le temps de nous expliquer le menu. Nous avons pris une grande assiette pour deux et une part de cheese-cake à emporter.

Pros: friendly staff, great decoration

Gem in the Old Town of Domodossola

Sali and Pistacchi really stands out in the region. During the day you can sip the perfect Cappuccino on the piazza and watch tourists walk by. We were there during the day on a Saturday and enjoyed delicious cake. It was quite busy with both locals and tourists. However, it would be great to have a lunch menu on Saturday during the day. Also, if you don't speak Italian you'll need a translation app (which is fine though)

Pros: Location, Coffee, Cake

Cons: Kitchen opens at 18.00 on weekends

Really good restaurant/bar

Lunch was from a set menu of four options (and a fifth option of trying a bit of each) and convered a wide range of food types (pasta, soup etc.) A very good selection of beers and wines. Staff very friendly.

Vegane Kuchen vom feinsten 👍

Auf der Durchreise hatte ich kurz Zeit für einen Espresso und eine Croissant. Dabei entdeckte ich die Auswahl an verschiedenen Kuchen. Ich liess mir vier Stück davon einpacken. Zu Hause wurden diese dann genüsslich verzehrt.
Ich war auch überrascht von dem grossen Angebot. Von Frühstück und Menues und Desserts ist für jeden was dabei.
Leider hatte ich keine Zeit um alles zu probieren. Die Kuchen waren aber spitze.

really nice find

I didn't expect to find a vegetarian or even vegan place here, since people always reacted bewildered in this area when I asked for vegan dishes. But when I arrived today after a long hike I thought I try this nice looking place in the main square of this small town. I was amazed when I found out they only serve vegan meals and cakes!

I was here in the afternoon for cafe and a cake and again for dinner. The staff was always nice and I can recommend this restaurant!

They have a menu of the day with about 4 dishes and a platto unico where you get a little something of every dish wish was really nice.

Pros: nice menu, really nice interior and decorations, nice atmosphere

Cons: I wished the had some gelatto too ☺

On the piazza in Domodossola old town

I had a quick dinner between trains going back to Switzerland after a hiking weekend in the area's mountains.
Nice to sit out on the square while eating, enjoying life coming n going.

Pros: Menu of the day, dessert, good fairtrade tea
