I visited this vegan buffet during my trip to Rome and was very excited for the buffet and to try…read morethe dishes presented. The buffet is small, but there is enough food to feel satiated. Having a small buffet means that jf it's crowded it can take longer to get the food that you want (because someone else is blocking you) or people become impatient and jump the line to weigh their food as there is no arrow pointing which direction to go around the buffet to get in line to weigh your food. I thought the food was good but not great enough to return back for more. The seating is communal meaning that you will have to share with others. I didn't really like that concept but it didn't take away from my experience. Ensuring that your parties are not mixed with others, waiters take your drink order and then provide you with a receipt. Along with this receipt you'll take one form the buffet after weighing your food. At the end of your meal, you'll need both receipts to pay for your food at the cashier register before exciting. Customer service was good could be better, they just all seemed to be in a rush (around 1:30-2:30 pm).

This is unlike any of the cat cafe's I've ever been because they serve a full menu here along with a wine menu! For lunch, we ordered a caraciofo to share, 2 of the tteokbokki and a tiramisu. The caraciofo was an artichoke, lightly breaded and fried. The tteokbokki was a Korean rice dumplings with mushrooms. Those two dishes were really tasty. Our favorite for sure was the tteokbokki! The tiramisu, we shared because we were so full from the artichoke and the tteokbokki! The service at Romeow is quick, efficient and friendly. I would certainly come back again!

I was intrigued by the story and set out to explore his favorite neighborhood on foot, ending my walk with a lunch in his restaurant. When I arrived, he was actually near the front, seating guests, serving food, and making coffee. The interior is very cute - I love the Christmas lights and letters over the bar. The fare is simple, fresh, organic, and affordable. They offer a prix-fixe menu for something like 9 euros which includes a side (which varies daily), a salad, and a choice of one of three main dishes. Both the side and salad are vegan, but the three mains include a vegan, vegetarian, and meat option. Overall, I'd recommend it, if you're visiting the area.

We were greeted by the barista the moment we stepped in and he was really friendly and welcoming and conversed with us in English. The price is incredibly reasonable especially for the quality of the food and drinks. I ordered the Nutellino and my friend got the Icepuccino doc Nutella. Both were great but wow, the Icepuccino took the cake. It was flavorful without being overly sweet, and I couldn't stop stealing sips from my friend. Definitely would come back for that alone. We also ordered the panini and enjoyed that as well. The ham and cheese panini was tasty and filling and really hit the spot. Overall, this is a lovely place with solid prices and quality. Service was prompt and great. It was one of the first places we stopped by and turned out to be a great start to our trip :) If you're around the area, I'd recommend checking it out and even if you're not, it's someplace I think is still worth visiting if only for that Icepuccino alone.

We tried 2 different types of Suppli from Food Box 66 which are deep fried rice balls with mozzarella and tomato sauce. The perfect snack to walk around on a cold day. He took cash only. Also tried classic tripe sandwich from Mardi and Vai. Generous size sandwich on crispy bread and saucy bits of tripe. Was ok for me but apparently really good if you enjoy the taste of tripe. Otherwise, it's a nice open air market with lots of authentic food, fresh produce, clothes, etc. a fun place to walk around that's a bit away from the historical city center

Our first visit to the Market was with my Rome-based brother-in-law on a warm June day. The Market is open on all four sides. It is covered and protected from sun and rain. Quite comfortable inside.

I stumbled on this delicious vegan restaurant while wandering the streets of Rome. I would've never…read moreguessed that the dish was vegan had I not read the menu more closely. The cheese was creamy and delicious, and the vegan bacon was crunchy with the perfect texture - just like real bacon. The owner stated that it was made from pea protein, which I also would never have guessed. PRO TIP: The they close the kitchen between lunch and dinner (at 3:30) so be sure to get there earlier for full access to the menu. Even though I arrived late, the waiter asked the kitchen to make me carbonara, and I'm so glad they did! I will definitely be coming back here again to try their other vegan dishes. The bruschetta was also phenomenal. The tomatoes are so much sweeter and the olive oil so smooth, much better than in the U.S. And of course, I can't forget the noodles - perfectly al dente and fresh. I feel so spoiled when I eat pasta in Italy!

All this is to say, while in Italy, I've had excellent cheese - and with vegan cheese being hit or miss, I went in a bit nervous about the vegan cheese platter appetizer. However, the cheese really blew me away: it was excellent vegan cheese and with great variety. The cheese on the platter had different textures and different flavors (including one with a delicious kick that I happily would've bought a block of) and did a great job emulating non-vegan cheese plates. I followed this up by trying their 3-d printed steak in pumpkin sauce. Firstly, the pumpkin sauce was incredible: I generally only tolerate pumpkin-based products, but I found this pumpkin sauce delicious - excellent flavor profile and perfectly complimenting the steak. For the steak: you definitely won't confuse this with actual meat, but it was still good and flavorful - and the texture itself was super interesting. It had the bit of a real steak but with layers and complexity. I'm very glad I ended up trying this. All in all, the dishes we ordered were all great - and really interesting. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone - even if you aren't vegan!

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and if you're sitting outside on a sunny day, the staff is very attentive about adjusting the shades so you're comfortable. They will adjust even without you having to ask. I ordered the artichoke as an appetizer which was very good, I recommend getting this if they are in season. I also ordered the carbonara, and it was by far the best I had while in Rome perfectly creamy, rich, and full of flavor without being too heavy. You can really tell they focus on doing the classics right. What stood out beyond the food was how efficiently the staff operated. Despite how busy the restaurant gets, they move quickly and keep everything running smoothly, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you're in Rome. Expect a wait, but it's 100% worth it for the quality of the food and service.

We had made reservations earlier in the day for the same night, but it didn't seem too busy either way. We looked at the menu via QR code scanning before the waiter came to take our orders. We ordered a focaccia to share. I got the carbonara and my partner got a truffle cream based pasta that I can't remember the name of. All items were vegan. As a non-vegan, I was very impressed by all the dishes! The sauce for the carbonara mimicked the creaminess and cheesiness. I wasn't the biggest fan of the "bacon" / "guanciale" - it was a bit too squishy and needed to be crisped up a bit more but that's a personal preference. Pay inside when you are done by informing the staff of your table number. This was one of our top 5 favorite places on a two week trip in Italy.
