Wonderful - Edit
Wow! We loved everything about our meal. Cheesy pasta was absolutely delicious, as was the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. So wonderful to have fully vegan Italian food, particularly the cheesy and creamy options. Lovely staff. Definitely worth booking - we saw a lot of people turned away.

Pizza + 20% off Lunch! - Edit
Stopped in for lunch for the first time and had the amatriciana pizza. It was amazing, so flavourful and a pretty big size. During the week they do 20% off lunch so it is definitely worth a visit.

All the Italian food! - Edit
Great small restaurant serving the Roman food not normally available to vegans. The cream sauces are spot on, lovely and creamy but not cloying.

A Roman Vegan Feast in the Heart of Edinburgh - Edit
Wife and I dined at Sora Lella, a Roman-inspired vegan restaurant in Edinburgh, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! This gem of a restaurant offers an incredible array of delicious vegan dishes, bursting with authentic Italian flavors.

Like being in Rome - Edit
Pasta cooked to perfection. We had the bucatini cacio e Pepe (a classic) and the pasta alla zozzona, which sounds like a big risk because it mixes three distinct sauces but omg it’s so good. We also had the supplì as starters and they were good but the mozzarella could’ve been more melty. The pizzas looked and smelled fantastic too. As did the bread basket we should’ve ordered. A new favourite I hope we can return soon.

Enjoy a Vegan Roman Feast! - Edit
I wish I could visit Sora Lella right now and taste the rest of the menu. The food was fresh, authentic, and served with kindliness. The location was convenient. The pricing was reasonable. Overall, I had a lovely experience.
Read more*what I ordered
*ZOCCOLETTE FRITTE ALL' ARRABBIATA E PARMIGIANO (SPICY) - pizza dumplings with spicy arrabbiata sauce and parmesan.
I liked the chunks of tomato, basil, and olives in the sauce. The sauce was flavorful and spicy! As for the dumplings, I was confused and not impressed. I liked the innovative thought, but the execution fell short. The "dumplings" were dense and hard to cut. When I think of a dumpling I think of something soft, and maybe stuffed with something. It was neither. I wouldn't order it again.
*BUCCATINI CACIO E PEPE - classic Roman pasta recipe made with parmesan, black pepper and truffle sauce.
The pasta was al dente and cooked to perfection! The sauce was creamy and rich. I would have preferred a bit more truffle. However, the truffle on the dish was tasty, yet subtle. The portion and amount of black pepper were both great. If I could, I would eat this weekly.
*SUPPLI ROMANI - fried Bolognese rice balls filled with mozzarella, accompanied with mayo.
Placing the rice balls on a bed of arugula was a wise choice. The arugula and rice balls made a good pairing, unlike the mayonnaise. The sauce for the pizza dumplings would have been perfect. Overall, the rice balls had good flavors. I very much appreciated the chunk of mozzarella stuffed in the middle. The fry was perfection. It had a wonderful crunch. The rice inside was cooked well; not mushy, and not hard.

What a disappointment - Edit
The reviews are so good. Did we just have bad luck? Was really excited to come here but it completely missed the mark. Service is wonderful. 5 stars for the serving team here. But it stopped there!!! The website boasts being Italian 100% but there wasn't an Italian in site unfortunately. Not even the chef 🙈 I won't be back.

Pros: Lovely waiting staff, The primitivo red wine is fab, The coffee is gooood!!
Cons: Carbonara lacked flavour , Food was served on cold plates , The tiramusu had none of the traditional flavour.

Cosy wee place - Edit
Very cute wee restaurant. Beautiful pastas, arancini, focaccias. I don’t rate their pizzas much and it can feel a bit claustrophobic when busy. They used to have a ricotta salad which was gorgeous. Never had any complaints from non-vegans I’ve taken.
