Rifugio Romano

Classic Italian vegan dishes

Traditional Italian / Roman / Pizzeria

Rifugio Romano is an absolute dream come true for vegans travelling to Italy. Located near the bustling Termini station, this historic, family-run trattoria has achieved something brilliant: while they continue to serve a traditional menu for meat-eaters, they have created an extensive, entirely parallel 100% vegan menu that flawlessly recreates Italy's most famous dishes.

This is the ultimate destination for massive, comforting bowls of pasta. Diners rave about their authentic Vegan Carbonara (expertly crafted with smoky tempeh), their incredibly creamy Cacio e Pepe, and their fantastic wood-fired pizzas topped with artisan plant-based cheeses and meats. Every dish captures the true, robust flavours of Roman cooking.

With its huge portions, incredibly welcoming staff, and an atmosphere that feels completely authentic to the heart of Rome, it is a mandatory stop. Because of its legendary status among both locals and tourists, booking a table well in advance is essential.
