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!

The owner of this restaurant was featured in a travel magazine at my hotel - there was a little…read moreprofile of him as a rapper and small business owner which touched on his impressions of and favorite parts of Rome. 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.

Mercato di Testaccio ended up being one of the highlights again. The market is full of fantastic food stalls offering high‑quality dishes at incredible prices. Italy is already far more reasonable than the US, but eating at the market feels like an even better deal. You get freshness, flavor, and value all in one stop. Inside you'll find everything: produce stands, a great cheese shop, fresh seafood and butcher counters, salumeria, street‑food stalls, and small local retail shops. It's lively, clean, and full of locals -- exactly the kind of place you want to eat in Rome. Absolutely recommend.

The only other things open were produce stands Recommend going after 1030a when the majority of the food places open. 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

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!

Searching for a place to eat, this place caught my eye for its good reviews on Gmaps and optimistic take on Roman classics turned plant-based. On a Friday around 1pm, right after we sat down, the restaurant sudden filled up with additional customers to about three-quarters full. Approximately two dozen seats inside and another dozen street side tables outside. Inside it's got a mom and pop traditional restaurant feel--a handful of two and four tops, a drinks fridge/wine chiller, a small corner bar, with medium-toned wooden tables and chairs. We checked in with the staff inside and they gave us the option to sit in or outside, we chose outdoors. Menus are scanned via QR code and if I recall correctly they have mostly Italian with some English. We ordered: - seasonal artichoke and vegan bacon pizza €16: first of all, the scale isn't obvious from my photo--it was a 12 inch pizza, for an individual pie--HUGE! Glad I saw the table over receiving their pizza first so I didn't make the big mistake of ordering more than one. Flavor--the artichoke, cheese and crust were a great combo, and the plant-based cheese stood out as one of the most strikingly similar cheesy textures out there. The bacon was visually and texturally dissimilar to the real thing, it looked dry though wasn't, and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't bacon. At least they hit one out of two on this pizza. It was a satisfying pie. - ratatouille €6: which ended up being sautéed beans, peas and asparagus. If there is one thing I noticed eating at a few different Italian restaurants in Italy--they overcook their vegetables, and this was on trend, a tad over, though still edible. The flavor was good but needed to tone down the salt a notch. Food arrived in about 15 minutes, the pizza was hot and crisp at the crust. Staff was friendly and checked in once during the meal. Cash and card accepted. Bathroom available though I didn't use it to comment.

By the time we were seated, dozens of people were waiting behind us. We sipped an Aperol spritz and lemonade while we waited, chatting with fellow diners who raved about the restaurant. On a sweltering day, our kids were starting to struggle in the heat when the owner came outside and gave them mini pizzas breads. It was a thoughtful gesture that immediately made us feel welcome. Once seated, we ordered burrata, cacio e pepe, amatriciana pasta, pork chops, and fried artichokes. Everything was excellent, but the amatriciana was the standout--rich, savory, and unforgettable. The cacio e pepe was silky, the burrata fresh and creamy, the pork chops juicy, and the fried artichokes perfectly crisp. There's a reason people line up for Da Enzo. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere lively, and the hospitality remarkable. Without question, this was our best meal in Rome and one of our most memorable restaurant experiences.

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.
