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).

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!

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!

Disclaimer: I am a flexitarian. I generally try to eat plant based, but will still eat meat and…read moreother animal products on occasion - and when on vacation, I lift all food restrictions. 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!

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.

The tomatoes were fresh and juicy but the burrata was a bit thick (referring to the outer aspect). Also the bread was a bit tough. The amatriciana was good, but not worth a 2 hour wait in a line, 7.5/10. Pasta was perfectly al dente, but the sauce wasn't anything to die for. I think you can get a very similar possibly better pasta in Rome without the wait. My girlfriend got the gnocchi pasta, which she said was a 7/10. The gnocchi was great, but again the sauce wasn't anything special Tiramisu, 10/10. This was amazing. It was sweet without being overpowering. The ladyfingers weren't soggy, and had that strong espresso taste. I would come back here just for this dessert. Also if you don't like cramped spaces, probably not the best spot.

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.
