Delicious pizza and pasta

Pasta was so good - Prosecco was lovely. My boyfriend had the pizza and it really was as good as they say. Simple decor and lovely staff. Accommodating, I only wanted ice cream (also tasty) and they got me a scoop even tho it wasn’t off the menu

Pros: Tasty cheese pizzas

Great little vegan Italian

Loved this little restaraunt, staff were friendly and helpful, loads of choice, food was great and portions were good sizes, we got free prosecco for my birthday and were able to take some if my pizza away when I couldn't finish it all. Definitely recommend. But book 1st.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great staff, Really good food and good portions

Cons: Small so need to prebook

Excellent food and service!

This was one of the *best* vegan pizzas I’ve ever had. Creamy sauce and mind-blowing blue cheese. Super friendly staff too!

Some brilliant food some meh

I loved the mains which was the prawn and pistachio spaghetti special and the carbonara (carbonara was unreal in my opinion) but I wasn’t so impressed with the starters. The buratta was nice but it needed to come with some sort of bread otherwise you’re just eating soft cheese on its own so we had to order bread separately, and the caprese was absolutely nothing like an actual caprese, I don’t think it works in that at all using the crumbled tofu cheese. The tiramisu was nice but wasn’t firm enough and needed a stronger coffee flavour. I would go back but I probably would only have mains cos the pasta was excellent.

Pros: Great pasta, All vegan , Nice staff and atmosphere

Cons: Some dishes lacking in flavour and texture , Quite expensive

I miss it

Possibly the best vegan restaurant I’ve visited within the U.K Probably a really uncultured opinion but I preferred the food here to anything I’ve eaten in Italy. We spent a fortune getting a charcuterie board alongside our mains and desserts but it was so worth it. 10/10 would move to Edinburgh for.

Good food

Pizzas are good, starters were good, small venue but it’s nice and cosy - would recommend booking. It’s a little pricey - I know they use all the best vegan cheese, but comparing it to other places (of the same quality) it seems little much. Wait staff were nice!

Pros: Good pizza

Cons: Expensive

Best Gluten Free and Vegan Pizza I Ever Had!

Well, I think this was probably the best gluten free and vegan pizza I ever had. The crust was remarkable. I don't know how they did it. I somehow have some kind of taste memory of Pizza Hut when I was a kid, and eating this triggered that memory. I never thought I would have that experience again!

Pros: gluten free, vegan, good size menu

Cons: N/A, N/A, N/A

Delicious

Best vegan cheesecake I’ve ever had! Specifically it was “peanut butter & jam cheesecake”. So good! The pizza was excellent; the pasta was bland.

Pros: All vegan, Amazing dessert, Adorable environment

Cons: Pasta was very bland and over cooked.

Overrated

I was disappointed with this one as I had such high expectations from the reviews. It’s always great to have a fully vegan restaurant but that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on great food. The food was bland, really lacked some key ingredients that make Italian food delicious. It doesn’t help that it’s very very overpriced for what it is. If you’re charging £17 for a carbonara I’d expect something about the place to be great.. but the venue itself is very small and difficult to get up from your seat without bumping into people. The staff were slow and inattentive. The choice in food was average and the food itself was very average.
Again disappointing as I love all vegan restaurants but I think the price should reflect the quality of their food better.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Overpriced, Average food

Tasty enough

Food was good enough but was sparse on a few major ingredients. Didn't have any of the mains when I dined there. Big portions. Bit on the pricey side.

Pros: Big portions, Tasty

Cons: Expensive , No mains

Ten Star Pizza!

Caprese salad is delicious. We ordered a pizza a special and forget what it was called, but could very well be the best pizza ever!! Peanut butter and jam cheesecake is delightful and the Sacher torte is rich and flavorful. If you order pizza, order two. And get some to go. SO good!!!

Four and a half stars

We enjoyed some good pizza and really good pasta here, but I suppose vegan tiramisu is a hard one to pull off. we also received some very tasty zucchini rolls compliments on the chef. Very friendly waiter, good atmosphere

Best Vegan Pizza

For appetiser we both shared a bruschetta and it was really lovely and fresh, served slightly warm. The bread was nice and thick and it was easily shareable but equally would be easy enough to eat alone. I had a meat feast pizza and my boyfriend had the pepperoni. Mine was delicious! I also tried the pepperoni and that was really good too. Maybe even slightly better than the one I chose (Food envy). They were both very saucy and indulgent. Quite possibly the best vegan pizza I have had since going vegan 2 years ago.

For dessert, I had the chocolate cake, and whilst it had a nice flavour I would say that unfortunately the cake was a little dense and not quite the right texture. My boyfriend wanted the tiramisu but they had sold out, so he had the crème brûlée instead. I was curious as to how they had managed to recreate a crème brûlée as usually it would contain both milk and eggs, sadly I must say this recreation was not successful. Whilst the taste was okay, the texture was completely wrong. It was grainy and honestly a little weird. The desserts are the reason that I gave only 4 stars instead of 5.

We shared a bottle of wine which was lovely and well priced.

Pros: Totally vegan , Well priced wine

Cons: Desserts were not the right texture

Tasty pizza

Very good vegan restaurant. We started with the focaccia which wasn’t really focaccia it was more like a garlic pizza, perhaps deeper than their actual pizzas. We had 2 pizzas and they were very nice. Great options for toppings, lot of fake meats and lots of veg based. Would go back.

Pros: Fully vegan, many options , Nice staff, Reasonably priced

Best pizza I've ever had

This pizza was amazing. Lots of options to choose from on the menu, everything we ordered was delicious. Portion sizes for starters and sides were generous. Great decor, it was pouring with rain outside but inside was warm and cosy with good atmosphere

Great Pizza and Bellini 🍕

Great pizza. I had the spicy meat. The mozzarella used is amazing l.

We ordered starters and desserts too. The only reason I give four stars is because it's so so hot inside. I was full on having a melt down and so were the other tables. In fact there was a group of six and when one man went out for a smoke we were like keep the door open pleaseeeee.

Was approx £96 for two of us. That's three courses Ans 3 drinks.

I'd recommend. Best Bellini of my life 🥂

Pros: It's vegan

Cons: Very warm inside

The best all vegan italian restaurant ever!

Absolutely loved the calzone, the lasagna was pretty great too. I tasted a bit of the spaghetti carbonara and wished I had ordered this instead of the lasagna, it was this good. And the TIRAMISU 😍😍😍

Best Italian food I’ve ever had!

My husband and I had a wonderful meal here. We tried to come one night without reservations not knowing it was a small place that definitely needs to be pre-booked. We’d were happy to come back the next day. I had the soup special - peas & mint YUM! & my husband and I shared a pizza and gnocchi dish. It was truly the best quality Italian food I’ve ever eaten

Pros: Amazing food, Lovely restaurant, Great offerings

Amazing! The best!

I come to Edinburgh and visit my friend every year and we alway book this place. My friend is a non vegetarian and he says how amazing the food is. Pasta is freshly cooked and out of this world. My favourite restaurant ever!

Pros: Fully vegan

Meh

We had gluten-free pizza and both were only meh. Both weren't seasoned well, and the dough was too thick and smooshy in the middle. Vegan cheese was good, brucscetta was very good. Server didn't pay attention, kept missing people needing sth even though there were only 3 tables with people

Pros: Good starters, Gluten free options for pasta and pizza

Cons: Very small space, Waitor is not attentive

Incredible tiramisu

We ordered the potatoes to share before our mains meals. They were really nice and tender but well roasted on the outside. I had the bolognese ravioli which was a special. The cheese and sauce made this meal particularly nice and it was a generous serving size. My partner had a pasta dish which tasted a bit “samey” after a while. I think because it didn’t have sauce. I can never resist a tiramisu when on offer even though I’d probably eaten enough. It was served with a strong coffee on the side. I liked it because it wasn’t particularly sweet and I could taste the coffee through it. It was presented well.

We had booked and had a lovely table. I saw someone else turned away so I would book. I liked that it took a while between courses. Gave me time to recover!
