The best vegetarian restaurants Italy

Arguably one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Rome. The elegant interior offers a sophisticated environment that doubles as an art gallery. The concept is vegetarian, but also vegan, organic and locavore. An organic bar offers vegetarian and vegan smoothies, cocktails, snacks and dishes, while creative tapas are on the menu every night to accompany your drink. The plate is very aesthetic and the dishes are particularly tasty.

Fresh, Écru is the intimate and chic address that seduces vegetarians and crudivores (but not only!). Health and flavours go hand in hand here; vegan and vegetarian recipes surprise, to the delight of your taste buds. Apart from coffee, no food is cooked at a temperature above 40°C to keep all its flavour and, of course, everything is homemade! Fruits, vegetables and seeds can be used in salads, soups, pasta and tartars. To discover for its cuisine but also for the exhibitions of contemporary artists that take place there.

Milan has its own vegetarian takeaway bistro where most of the products served are certified organic: Radice Tonda. Close to the busy Corso Buenos Aires, this natural address offers over 200 different types of soup and velouté every day, followed by lasagne, quiches, veggie burgers, sandwiches and salads that are as healthy as they are tasty. The drinks are just as organic as the rest, from smoothies to beers. Also great for aperitifs. An address for a healthy lunch break that's also gourmet.

A restaurant specializing in all types of meatballs, meat, poultry, fish and vegetarian. The chopped stuffing is mixed with a wide variety of ingredients: parmesan, mortadella, pistachios, ricotta, olives, candied tomatoes, there is something for everyone. Served as antipasti, in pasta dishes, in broth or covered with sauce, these polpette take us on a journey through various regions of Italy. Delicious desserts. Very pleasant dining room whose studied decoration mixes industrial design and vintage furniture.

Just across from the cathedral, in an arty setting with a pretty decor, a new restaurant that focuses on traditional Ligurian fish-based cuisine, but above all on its vegetarian/vegan menu, where oriental sauces are a welcome addition. Although the choice of dishes, made with local, seasonal produce, is limited, the vegetable/vegetable combinations are tasty, and the desserts gourmet, like this walnut cake. On Sundays, fish fry is almost always on the menu. Good regional wines.

A new philosophy in the heart of Florence, in the ancient cloister of Santa Maria: Quinoa is the first "Gluten Free" restaurant in the city. Food specialists and chefs have combined their know-how to create a quality cuisine exclusively gluten-free. An ambitious project that allows to discover new recipes but also traditional dishes based on this cereal called quinoa, a flour rich in fibre and protein but gluten-free. In short, a charming place in the heart of history serving an innovative cuisine!

Since 1981, it has been the reference restaurant for vegetarian Florentines, where a relaxed and friendly atmosphere prevails. The menu at the complimentary rates is reduced to three or four primi and as many second courses (in addition to personalized salads and delicious desserts), but changes every day. Tasty regional and ethnic cuisine; fresh raw materials are guaranteed. Service is provided at the counter, after paying at the checkout. Also a wide variety of teas and herbal teas to finish the meal in a healthy way.

This former neighbourhood dairy had the brilliant idea of installing some cutlery in its tiny shop. Every lunchtime, we jostle each other in the two rooms with tiled walls, but for a good reason: the vegetarian dishes based on seasonal vegetables and dairy products are a real explosion of flavours. And while you're enjoying a dish of herb lasagne or grilled cheese, notice the prints and photos that evoke the Milan of yesteryear, when the city lived to the rhythm of its canals, the Navigli.

One of the first vegetarian restaurants in Naples, open for more than twenty years. It is located at the end of a small inner courtyard, in a discreet corner of Piazza Bellini. It serves macrobiotic dishes, based on organic products. On the menu are colourful antipasti, fried foods and legumes, vegetable risottos, seitan and tofu chops, but also cheese platters and mozzarella di bufala. A healthy and dietetic address.

There are not many vegan restaurants in Genoa, so you shouldn't miss this address, which is not strictly vegan but which offers plenty of gourmet ideas with or without meat. The team at Guiditta prepares dishes based on cereals, legumes, cooked or raw vegetables. We like the soft polenta, the spinach quiches, the penne with pesto, the hummus with focaccia, the panzerotti with wild herbs and Taggiasca olives, without forgetting the meatballs in the cabbage leaf or the fried fish. With this, a glass of local wine!

Situated opposite the harbour, this hotel enjoys a beautiful terrace with sea view and a large room with typical Sardinian fireplace. You can enjoy beautiful pizzas cooked in wood, recipes based on fish and seafood, but especially vegetarian dishes, gluten-free (and even vegans upon request). Here everything is produced on the ground with elements from organic farming. Creativity, Quality: a very nice place.
