My favourite restaurant in Edinburgh

This is my new favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. We tried their pizza and pasta and both were equally amazing. Absolutely delicious. It's a lovely atmosphere and the staff is attentive and very welcoming. Will def. be back.

Pros: Everything is vegan

Favourite vegan Italian

This is the best vegan Italian I’ve had. The gnocchi and garlic focaccia (note that the normal focaccia is a flat bread whereas this one was raised and fluffy) were amazing, and the wine menu is also great. Such a lovely atmosphere inside, but it’s a small restaurant so make sure to book a table.

Worth a visit once if not had vegan Italian before

3.5 stars. The food is fine, but quite expensive for what it is and definitely a bit overrated in my opinion, won't be rushing back, sort of thing I go to every few years with someone who really wants to try it. £72 for two starters, two mains, chips, no drinks 😬 Maybe just not to my taste, as the restaurant has been a finalist for several Italian awards. Pasta portions are generous, and the truffle chips with mayo were very tasty. It's an impressive menu and good to have an 100% vegan Italian restaurant. It's a small place so make sure you book, we saw so many people being turned away. Not very good for private or romantic datey, as you're very close to other tables and have folks standing around near you waiting for takeaways.

Cheesecake is out of heaven

We had the Pizza Dumplings for Antipasti, which were delicious though a bit on the spicy side. For main we can really recommend the Ortolana and the Amatriciana , but probably every Pizza is amazing, because the Mozzarella is so authentic!
But the clear highlight of our visit was the Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake, which was literally the best cake (vegan and non vegan) I ever ate. We ordered a second piece right away. You have to try it!

Pros: The cheesecake, Free tab water included, The authentic vegan cheese

I’m giving 4 stars just because is all vegan

We were expecting a fantastic dinner, but instead, the main courses were rather underwhelming. We ordered the pasta amatriciana and penne alla vodka, but both tasted the same. It left much to be desired, to say the least. I’m giving it 4 stars because I love supporting fully vegan places around the world, but the quality really needs improvement. And really expensive.

Pros: The staff was polite

Cons: Price/Quality, Tasteless food, Very small place

Cute place, great food

We had a salad and a gnocchi dish and were very happy with both. The flavors were full and balanced and had me beaming at the great vegan food offerings in Edinburgh! Wish I lived nearby and could sample more at Sora Lella!

Pros: The food!, The ambiance, Very clean

Best Pizza

The Sora Lella Roman Vegan is a small cozy restaurant. We were served very friendly and courteous. I really liked the free wifi. I had the pizza parmigiana and it was excellent. I am not usually a lover as far as eggplant goes, but I had a feeling I would not be disappointed here. The best vegan pizza I ever had. It was delicious.

Outstanding

Great little restaurant with a family feel. We ordered pizzas and they were both amazing, Hands down best italian food we have eaten (including pre-vegan). Will definitely be visiting again next time we are in Edinburgh.

Super delicious pasta!

I had the Penne Quattro Formaggi e Funghi because I hadn't had Quattro Formaggi in years - and wow, it was so good! I wouldn't have believed that a vegan version could taste so similar to the original! Bravo!

Pros: Best pasta ever!, Very nice staff, Wide choice of dishes

Incredible!

Homemade scrumptious food. Great accommodating staff. We arrived from London and were starving and they worked us into a table despite being fully booked. Meal was outstanding.

Pros: Quality of food , Above & beyond staff

Good pasta

Had a 4 cheese pasta, which was good. I would have liked the portion to be a bit larger since the prices are on the higher side. I would still recommend it.

Pros: Pasta and desert were good

Not great at all

Considering the reviews and high rates of this place we were very disappointed by the food. The place is nice but the pizza and pasta were not even good, not completely awful but not good.
Even if we might have being unlucky that day with the kitchen, I can't imagine how other people can consider this as their best Italian food ever. I ate all around Italy similar meals, vegan and vegetarian, and Sora Lella is the least tasty restaurant I ever tried.

Pros: Nice place

Cons: Food is not worth coming, It's not cheap

Wonderful

Wow! We loved everything about our meal. Cheesy pasta was absolutely delicious, as was the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. So wonderful to have fully vegan Italian food, particularly the cheesy and creamy options. Lovely staff. Definitely worth booking - we saw a lot of people turned away.

Pizza + 20% off Lunch!

Stopped in for lunch for the first time and had the amatriciana pizza. It was amazing, so flavourful and a pretty big size. During the week they do 20% off lunch so it is definitely worth a visit.
