Delicious Vegan Food in Buffet Service - Edit
Absolutely delicious and visually attractive vegan buffet. We went for lunch service on a Saturday, as the restaurant is close to the Borghese Gallery where we spent the morning. The food selection was beautifully presented, and we had a satisfying lunch. Flavors and variety of food was well-balanced and perfect for “sampling” a taste of almost every dish. The best vegan dining that we found in Rome. Attractive restaurant with outdoor seating also.

Delicious food, but no warm welcome - Edit
Apparently we don't look vegan 😁🫣 When entering, we were met by a rather short and unwelcoming 'This is a vegan restaurant. A vegan buffet'. No: Hello, or welcome, or anything.
Read moreLike, this was a warning? We probably don't look like the kind of people who want to eat there, or what? 🙈
After we told her: Yes, we are both vegan, the reply was simply 'the buffet isn't ready yet!'. (Btw, it was 12.20).
Well, can we already take a seat?
To finally be assigned a table, like reluctantly? ...
(PS: the person at the counter was much more friendly, smiling, welcoming).
(I also wonder how this goes down with non-vegan clients. Not really inviting ...)
The buffet is marvellous. Plenty of choice, and really delicious dishes! Also sushi rolls. One plate was 18€, the other 23,5 €.
On the expensive side (we didnt stack our plates with a mountain, but were full nonetheless). All in all good value for money.
We also had some desserts. Tiramusu and chocolate mousse. 5€ each. Nice (the chocolate was not really mousse tho).
Not accessible, step to get in. Some high tables with high stools, some regular tables/stools. Hard, not so comfy (cushions would be nice).
Toilet at the back. Clean.

In love with their lasagna! - Edit
I'm from Emilia Romagna and I can confidently say that their lasagna is the best vegan version I've ever had. Everything I tried was delicious. Will definitely go back!

Delicious but expensive buffet - Edit
Really enjoyed the majority of the dishes here such as the roast seitan and the gnocchi but others I ended up regretting putting on my plate. The pay by weight system is a great way to try so many things but I thought the cost was a bit high.

Delicious buffet with so much variety - Edit
Pastas, curries, salads, pinsas, whatever your heart desires! They also had these really delicious hard cheese imitations that tasted just like parmesan (one also had a rosemary flavor which was so delicious). A lighter alternative to some of our other meals in Rome and so delicious. Also a very friendly staff!

Ottima esperienza - Edit
Ristorante alla fermata fiume. Buonissimo cibo, genuino, vario e gustoso. Personale gentilissimo. Ve lo consiglio.
Read moreNoi abbiamo fatto solo un errore, per gola abbiamo riempito il piatto tutto in una volta con primi e secondi, tornassi indietro, andrei a prendere scaglioni per non mescolare i sapori.
Prossima volta a Roma farò così.
Dolci nella media, non hanno stupito.
Spesa in 3 con due dolci: 76€

Rude Staff & So expensive! - Edit
We arrived at opening time excited to eat - The lady outside was very abrupt and rude, she said we weren't allowed to sit inside, which I found strange (I wish i questioned why as we watched several other walk into the restaurant after we sat down) - then was told to wait whilst we watch her lay every table outside, in the end I asked if we could sit at 1 of the made up tables as we'd been stood for 20 minutes at the point. She said yes but just wasn't happy about it and said "you do realise this is a all vegan restaurant" - like she was trying to put us off?
Read moreWe sat down then again was left waiting- In the end I assumed maybe we just go up as she wasn't explaining anything & we were sat for another 10-15 mins. So we stood up to go & get our plates- she then said the food wasn't ready yet. We'd been there over 30 mins. It wouldn't of been so much of a issue if we were just told. She was just extremely rude - we should of walked out but we both get socially uncomfortable & embarrassed easily and were hungry.
Whilst waiting I went to the toilet - there was poo on the toilet seat - Baring in mind we were the first people in there so it should of been cleaned surely.
Eventually she said we could go in to get our food - we went and filled our plates with all the tasty looking food available. The food did look amazing & was obviously all fresh. We got to the counter and I could of died when we were told 66 euro for 2 plates. Lol. We went for a 3 course meal with a drink each for the same price the day before that was honestly 1 of the best meals I've ever had in my life. So this was a massive shock. We sat down to eat - some of the food was tasty but most was pretty bland & nothing I'm going to remember about.
The young staff member who served us also came out to have several cigarettes during our meal - she was in the doorway next to the entry to the restrains and close to where we were sat so we could smell the smoke. She was also talking on the phone really loudly and just dancing around and being silly. In the half hour we were eating she came out a times. I don't smoke and don't like the smell of smoke especially when eating.
The whole experience was dissapointing
Cons: Rude/unprofessional staff , Expensive , Mostly bland food

We went tonight, 3 people: 3 dishes, 2 sweets, a beet, a water, a lemonade: 76€. The cost of food is 30€ per kg so... I think your plates were actually so full and heavy

Similar experience regarding the 'this is a vegan restaurant'. Was very unwelcoming. Unfriendly lady. My guess is she's the owner? 🫣🫣

Wonderful - Edit
A vegan and organic buffet in the heart of a big city like Rome felt like an absolute treat. Some dishes were better than others imo, but it still deserves 5 stars for the lovely food. The home-made ravioli and gnocchi were sensational. Seemed very popular at lunch time.

I was expecting a buffet like an all you can eat kind of buffet but instead they charge you by weigh, so it was confusing. Although, it was quite nice, just more expensive than necessary.

Great but maybe a bit expensive for what it is - Edit
The range of options on the buffet it huge. The quality of food is good. Every dish I tried was nicely done. It is a bit expensive, maybe 20euro for a slightly generous but not huge plate. But overall, I really enjoyed such a good quality all vegan buffet.
