Amazing vegan food - Edit
Superb food, so tasteful, freshly made. Rice balls, homemade tomato soup, gnocchi, superb homemade puddings, good red wine. Lovely service in this small gem of a restaurant.

Delicious - Edit
The food is worth all the praise and hype given! Fresh, large portions, and great service. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was subpar. For the price I’d expect a classy vibe with mood lighting. Instead it’s more like an old diner that needs a paint job. Would order takeout, but not eat in again

Your average Italian - just vegan and overpriced - Edit
Noodles and tiramisu were nothing special, really. Most regular Italians will make better vegan pasta if you ask for it...

Lovely food - Edit
Shared the carbonara and meat free pizza. Food was all lovely and tasty. Some items were saltier than my personal preference. Desserts were ok but not as good as mains. It was a little pricey side though.

Total rip-off - Edit
I ordered a takeaway margherita pizza and asked to add mushrooms. There were no prices on the menu for toppings so I assumed it would just be a reasonable charge. When it came to paying they added £3.90 for the mushrooms. The pizza came to around £20. I was completely gobsmacked and questioned this. The server looked very sheepish, and said that he thinks it’s a crazy price for mushrooms as well but didn’t do anything about it. I was too embarrassed not to pay and to just leave the pizza but I would never return as it just felt like they were fleecing customers for what they could get.
Read moreI’m from London so used to high prices but this is something else - around double the price of a pizza in Purezza which is an outstanding vegan pizza place in London. Maybe they just thought I was a tourist passing through and that they may as well charge what they can get.

Authentic Italian food - Edit
The food was absolutely amazing. The vegan cheese was very good, melted well and the Quattro formaggi pizza tasted really nice. The desserts were also a treat. Rather expensive but worth it.

BEST VEGAN ITALIAN EVER - Edit
Incredible! Managed to get a last minute booking here after eyeing up the menu and it was what dreams are made of! My non-vegan partner and I shared the meat feast pizza and the gnocchi salsiccia et crema tartufata! The pizza had LOADS of unique plant based “meats” on it and the gnocchi was one of the best pastas I’ve ever eaten - don’t think I’ve ever had anything that good even pre-vegan! Finished off with an aperol spritz because it would’ve been rude not to! Tucked away slightly off the city centre but absolutely worth the extra few steps to get there! I can’t wait to return!

Very disappointing experience re. allergens - Edit
Brought my 6 year old son who has a number of food allergies here today. He was really excited that I’d found a place that did vegan and gluten free pizzas. Gave the waiter a list of his allergies which they checked in with the chef about - so far, so good. The waiter then returned to say that the chef was “a bit worried” about catering for him as there are pine-nuts in quite a number of dishes. He confirmed that these weren’t into the pepperoni (DF, VG, GF) pizza that he wanted though. The waiter then followed this up by saying that there was “a lot of wheat flying around in the kitchen” and asked whether this would be a problem given my son’s wheat allergy. I acknowledged that’s it impossible to totally remove an allergen from a kitchen and just asked that they took reasonable precautions when preparing the GF dough. He then followed this up immediately by saying that they had in fact ran out GF dough for pizza. It seemed rather odd that he didn’t mention this initially, and to be honest, it felt that they’d decided they didn’t want to serve us. My son was a bit upset by this - we’d been planning this as a special treat for him, so we decided to go elsewhere. I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it at the time, but having reflected on it this evening I feel quite upset about our experience. I do understand that restaurants are, in the current climate, nervous about allergen mishaps, but in a venue whose menu makes a big point of highlighting their allergen awareness, and offers GF dough (at a £1.50 premium), this felt really suboptimal. The whole “wheat flying around” comment also really doesn’t inspire confidence, so I thought this ought to be shared in this forum so that others can be mindful of this when considering dining here in future.

Fantastic pizza!! - Edit
This is the first time I actually saw a vegan Quattro formaggi, and all the cheese fans loved it! I preferred the veggie pizzas which were absolutely great! They also have pasta, salads and desserts. Staff is super friendly. Pride flag on the door too.

Nice food crazy prices - Edit
We went over a year ago and I was served cold cannelloni.
Read moreMy partner decided to give it another shot and we went there to celebrate her birthday. We were served by a friendly guy.
I had a calzone and my partner ordered gnocchi. The calzone was reasonably nice, the gnocchi were good as well.
The only downside is the prices. 17-18£ was the range for both a pasta dish or a pizza/calzone. I honestly think these prices are ridiculous, especially since my pizza fillings were Quorn products (Quorn ham & chorizo) something you can buy at any decent size supermarket.
Or like, a pasta aglio e olio priced 17£? It's literally pasta, garlic & oil.
Overall it was a nice experience but given the prices I don't think we will be back soon. I only hope I will at one point be able to afford this 7£-rocket-salad lifestyle
Cons: Prices

Nice vegan Italian restaurant - Edit
The place had a decent atmosphere and the food was ok. I loved the rice balls we got as a starter, I would certainly recommend those. The tiramisu we got for dessert was good, though not amazing. The meat feast pizza was not great in my opinion, and the gnocchi with gorgonzola had a weird taste, kind of chemical. I got used to it after a while and was able to enjoy them, but the friend I was there with wasn't able to get used to it. I'd like to try some of their other dishes, as there seems to be quite a lot of people who love them.

Best pasta ever - Edit
I was mouthwatering when I saw the photos. We went running but the place was fully booked for the day. We made reservations for lunch the next day and waited (un)patiently until we got there. Everything we ordered was espectacular. It’s the best pasta I’ve ever had and the staff was incredibly nice. A wonderful experience overall.

Extremely delicious! - Edit
Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had - vegan or otherwise. Their pasta is absolutely delicious. We didn’t get a pizza but they looked amazing as well. A little expensive but definitely worth it. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time as the restaurant is small and they fill up quite quickly!
