Buon ristorante

Vengo abbastanza spesso a mangiare da Ma va, ogni volta però mi delude un po'.. la qualità dei prodotti è sicuramente ottima ma gli accostamenti di sapore non sempre rispettano i miei gusti. Il personale è davvero gentile, ma il locale potrebbe essere reso più carino.
Lo consiglio da provare ma non è tra i miei preferiti

Pros: La disponibilità del personale , La selezione di vini

Cons: Gli accostamenti di sapori non mi soddisfano, Il locale potrebbe essere rinnovato

Fantastic vegan prosciutto, carbonara

This is a lovely little family-run restaurant with delicious vegan food. We got a carbonara, bucatino amatriciana, side vegetable dish, and a homemade seitan dish that came with a vegan prosciutto.
The carbonara I tried here was my favorite out of the ones I tried in Rome, although it may have been less "traditional" - I liked it because it was less rich/less creamy than others, and had a nice smoky flavor that came along with the smoked tofu. The smoked tofu was also on the amatriciana, which was quite nice as well.
However, my favorite was definitely the seitan dish just because the prosciutto on top was incredible. I haven't had prosciutto for years and it tasted just liked the real deal - wow!
My partner got the pistachio berry tiramisu which was more like whipped cream with bits of cake here and there and strawberry jam in the middle. Not my favorite and not something to get if you're looking for authentic tiramisu but he liked it more.
Also, the staff are extremely friendly!

Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious pastas, Vegan meats

Menu eccezionale ed ambiente carino

Buonissimo questo ristorante! Ci porto spesso persone onnivore ed anche loro lo adorano. Tutti i piatti sono fantastici, non mi è mai capitato di mangiare qualcosa di cattivo. L’ambiente è carino anche se credo che l’esterno sia piú bello, è piú tranquillo e non ci sono odori provenienti dalla cucina

Amazing pasta

Went here for lunch on the way to the stadium. The pasta dishes we had were the best food that I had in Rome. So much flavor. I really wanted to go back to try more of the dishes but ran out of time.

Pros: Best pasta in Rome, Friendly

Fantastico!!

Assolutamente strepitoso! La cotoletta di pleurotus e la carbonara erano da urlo! La prossima volta che capiterò a Roma sarà sicuramente una tappa obbligata. Consiglio la prenotazione. Sono gentili e veloci, il cibo è genuino e la presentazione è curata.

Absolutely amazing! The Oyster mushroom cutlet and carbonara were amazing! The next time I'll be in Rome it will definitely be a must. I recommend booking. They are friendly and fast, the food is genuine and the presentation is refined.

Falafel and mushrooms a bit burned but full of flavour it was amazing. Risotto very tasty and healthy. Not 5 because prices a bit high.

Wonderful night after an exhausting day!

Vegan Saltimbocca made my husband a happy man. May be the first Seitan dish he’s really enjoyed! I never had it before going vegan, but did enjoy this! Service was friendly and professional. Wine was local and wonderful. Pastas hit the spot, and topped the night off with an apple cake (they call it pie in translation of torta? But it’s cake, almost quick bread) with a caramel sauce. Very satisfied!

Ottima cucina, servizio molto gentile.

Ho provato, tra i primi, gli spaghetti allo zenzero e lime con pinoli: deliziosi, il piatto che mi è piaciuto di più e tornerò per riprenderlo e "rubare" la ricetta. Molto generosi con i pinoli! Tra i secondi i rosti con hummus verdura e bucce di patate fritte (piacevole). Davvero molto abbondanti e cucinati benissimo i contorni: broccoletti e fagioli all'uccelletto. Prezzi onesti e servizio attento e amichevole.

Posto da raccomandare!

Overhyped place

This is, if I am not wrong, the first vegan place that opened in Rome (amazing!) BUT I honestly feel it is super overhyped. It feels like the menu hasn’t changed in ages (with a couple of -not great- seasonal off-the-menu dishes), the food quality is very mediocre (I remember specially some awful desserts after a normal bit expensive dinner). I feel like they’ve stopped trying hard cause they have a great position and a name. Just a shame…

Extremely expensive but good food

I think I ended up paying about 40€ for a starter, a main and a dessert for one person. The food was good, but it wasn't so good that I'd pay that much again. Also, the pesto pasta is pretty underwhelming - I recommend picking something else instead. I enjoyed the starter and dessert a lot more than the main.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Very expensive, Pesto pasta isn't great imo - avoid this option

Incredible!

If you are after a great selection of vegan Italian dishes then this is the place to go. The risotto was one of the best I’ve tried. Overall a nice casual atmosphere with homey, well-balanced Italian food. Definitely try this for lunch or dinner when in Rome!

Pros: Excellent Italian food , Lots of options for a variety of dishes , Casual atmosphere with seating inside and out

Recommended neighbourhood restaurant

Ma Va'? feels like a neighbourhood restaurant which, over the course of the evening, filled up with locals rather than tourists (like us). The menu is imaginative and the meal we had was delicious. Also, unlike other vegan/vegetarian places we ate at in Rome, the portions were not meagre. The prices were reasonable and the service was friendly. Highly recommend.

I have eaten here twice. I have had some tremendously delicious food here. I have also had some disappointing food. There is more good than bad though, and I would still recommend this place to anyone I know.

We had the amatriciana (perfect) and the orecchiette alla mediterranea (nothing special, so I wouldn’t recommend it). The suppli was really good. I ordered escarola as well and it was delicious and a huge portion.
