Great dessert, underwhelming mains - Edit
This place offers many clearly marked vegan options on the menu. I tried the mixed vegetarian plate (labeled 'vegetarian' but clearly noted to be free of animal products), but it was quite bland and unremarkable. The vegan hazelnut pudding, however, was incredible! Despite being crowded, the atmosphere was quiet, calm, and warm, with no background music. The staff was friendly, too.

5 STARS!! - Edit
A very nice restaurant. We had a really good time. It's more vegetarian friendly than vegan friendly (I wish I had more choices), but the dishes I ate were really good.
Read moreI was really happy to find a vegan dessert other than the usual fruit salad.
Portions adequate, no leftovers and we were able to eat everything with no problem.
Pros: Vegan desserts!!!, Many vegetarian options. , Very good vegan dishes.

Amazing - Edit
If I could give five stars, I would. I live in the area of Bologna, and it is always challenging to find a place to dine out with my family that serves both vegetarian and meat, and the other night we found it. It’s my favourite non-vegetarian restaurant with veggie options so far. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service is efficient and quick. Loved it!!

Great Veggie Plate - Edit
We had Dinner here.
Read moreThe Restaurant is beautiful but the Chairs would be more comfy with a pillow.
I had the mixed veggie Dish which included grilled veggies, some tomato-bulgur, salad, Seitan Carpaccio, a little Tempeh on a toothpick, two kinds of Mousse (I guess Hummus and Sunflower Seed cream) and Fava with olive oil.
It was really tasty and left me satisfied.
My friends had Pumpkin Tortelloni. Their portions weren't as big as my dish but tasted good as well. The side Salat they also had was huge and really fresh.
Go for the Vegan Mix and you'll be happy😄

Great vegan dinner - Edit
My boyfriend and I went to this place for dinner and were not disappointed!
Read moreTo start we ordered a veggie tempura, which was accompanied by a delicious tamari and ginger sauce.
Then, we both had strozzapreti (a type of pasta) with pistachio pesto, dried tomatoes and eggplant.
Then we shared a mixed plate of hummus, vegan "ham", a tempeh skewer and some cous cous.
Even thogh we were full, we still ordered a piece of crostata (a type of cake) with mixed berries.
I must say everything was delicious and the quality of the food was amazing. The price was right. I would definitely come here again!
Ho mangiato qualche tempo fa in questo ristorante assieme al mio ragazzo e dobbiamo dire che l'esperienza è stata molto positiva.
Abbiamo ordinato una tempura di verdure in due come antipasto. Ottima e soprattutto fantastica la salsa tamari con olio allo zenzero!
Come primi abbiamo entrambi preso gli strozzapreti al pesto di pistacchio, con melanzane e pomodorini secchi.
Abbiamo poi condiviso un piatto unico con spiedino di tempeh, hummus di ceci, verdure e cous cous.
Nonostante fossimo sazi, abbiamo anche fatto a metà di una fetta di crostata ai frutti di bosco, veramente buonissima.
I piatti, 1/4 di vino e 3 bottiglie d'acqua sono costate 52 euro.
Nel complesso siamo stati molto soddisfatti della cena e torneremo sicuramente
Pros: great vegan food, good quality, good price
Cons: maybe a little small, but this didn't bother us

Elegant and tasty - Edit
I went to Zenzero for a dinner. The stuff was very friendly and helpful and explained well the vegan options. They base them on tofu, seitan and tempeh. The food was tasty and beautifully served (although seitan scallopes come alone so you need to order sth extra on the side like potatoes or salad). We paid 50€ in total for a dinner for two consisting of 2 courses, a glass of wine and a bottle of water.

una cena vegana - Edit
Arrivare a Bologna la sera senza aver prenotato un ristorante per un vegano può rivelarsi difficile. Grazie all'app ho trovato questo ristorante al centro di Bologna ed ho trovato posto. Ho mangiato purè di fave con verdura come antipasto e un piatto unico vegano per concludere. Tutto ciò accompagnato da una buona birra.
Read moreUn posto da consigliare.
Pros: buona cucina, personale gentile, vasta scelta vegana

Recommended for vegan and veg - Edit
Organic wholefoods omnivorous restaurant. Had vegan dinners here twice in the week we were in Bologna. Made reservations both times as they seem pretty busy. It is a minimalist yet homey restaurant. The staff are casually dressed and it is a relaxed atmosphere. We told our server that we are vegan and she made recommendations. They have tofu, seitan and tempeh, cooked to perfection with fresh veg. We had a veg starter (can't remember what - but it was good) and a plate with all three veg proteins with grains and veg. It was stylish yet filling. There was no vegan dessert the first night, but there was on the second - a rice pudding/flan with a berry sauce - delicious. A feel good meal - highly recommended.

Absolutely worth a walk and a phone call - Edit
The place is very crowdy at lunch, workers from nearby offices go there in the lunch-break so it is better to go there before 12.30-13.00 otherwise you'll have to wait for a table. It's inside the walls of the city, but maybe 10 or 20 minutes walk from the places of interests, anyway it's absolutely worth a walk for a very healthy food with plenty of vegan choices. Average prices.

Tasty fresh food in Bologna - Edit
Good thing we arrived right when this place opened, as we didn't have a reservation and it filled up fast. It's not completely veg, but there are plenty of options and the wait staff is happy to point them out to you. We shared a started, the veg tempura. I don't know what they put in the sauce but it was all I could do not to lick the cup. We also shared a first plate, the gnocchetti, which was more or less like gnocchi, maybe a little smaller. I could have just had that as my main dish--definitely my favorite part of the meal. For my main I had the grilled tempeh over grilled veggies. The tempeh was thick and hearty but maybe needed to be steamed first. I thought the veggies were a little too oily, too. I liked the dish overall, but it wasn't as satisfying as the first plate. I didn't like my partner's seitan dish; it was basically a plate of seitan and I wasn't crazy about the texture or taste.
Read moreOverall this is a classy place with a vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff; I would definitely go back. They do get busy so make a reservation or plan to get there right at 7:30 pm.
Pros: good veg options, gnochetti!, nice space, helpful staff
Cons: veggies a bit oily, not crazy about the seitan

Really nice place in a less than expected Area - Edit
This spot was not hard to find, but was a little further removed from the central bustle of Bologna. We arrived and they did not open until 7:30 pm (a bit later than we are accustomed as Americans!). So, we waited outside until it opened and were the only people there for the first fifteen minutes and after the first hour, there were no seats available through the three rooms. The restaurant was rather upscale in appearance but not really more expensive than most places for the food we received. For an appetizer we had gnocchetti (small gnocchi) and tempura. Both of which were great. The main courses (grilled tempeh over vegetables and a cubed seitan dish) were good, but not great. The tempeh tasted a little bitter as if it was not first steamed and the seitan dish was just cubed seitan in a sauce on a plate which can be a bit dull as an entree. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and would suggest it for anyone looking for a great, nice meal, but next time I would choose different main courses.

Cons: Appetizers outshined Entrees
