25 Best Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in Rome

Rome boasts one of the largest selections of vegan and vegetarian dishes. The reason? They form the foundation of Roman and Italian cuisine, rather than being a result of recent trends. Discover the finest restaurants, bakeries, and pastry shops in our article.

Great news for those seeking the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Rome! We must immediately dispel a myth: it is not true that you cannot find vegan or vegetarian food in Italy. On the contrary, many traditional Italian and Roman dishes are prepared exclusively with plant-based ingredients. In fact, this is one of the places with the greatest variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes in the world.

Why is this so? For centuries, dishes for the common people were often crafted using humble ingredients sourced from gardens and fields in the countryside surrounding the cities. Precisely because of this, most dishes are prepared using ingredients often sourced from within 50 km of the kitchen, ensuring their freshness.

Carciofi alla Romana, Pappa al Pomodoro, Caponata, Focaccia, various types of pasta sauces, Parmigiana, and Bruschetta are just a few of the vegetarian or vegan options you can find in Rome. With over 22,000 bars and restaurants in the capital, equivalent to one for every 130 inhabitants, Rome boasts an impressive 7% of the country’s dining establishments. But don’t worry, we have curated a list of the 21 best vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Rome for you. Additionally, our list includes the finest bakeries and pastry shops.
