Il Margutta

Great place for vegetarians! Loved the décor and ambiance inside. Great place for a relaxing dinner after a day full of touring the city.
Overall the food was delicious, loved the burrata and dessert the most!
With the bread, ask for the olio and balsamic.

Great atmosphere with art. Great vegetarian food. Pesto gnocchi was incredible as was Autumn Salad with pear and Gorgonzola.

Wandering around the streets trying to dodge the glutentastic temptations surrounding me, I stumbled across this cool, quirky restaurant.
Courgetti are my complete obsession at home so I was beyond excited to taste my first «restaurant» version. Now call me biased, but I have to say that the ones I make at home are way better. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the dish, it was very good but I expected the courgettes to be hot and not completely raw. Also it wasn’t quite enough to fill me up so I ordered the vegetable stir fry which was hot and delicious and successfully satiating.
I’d definitely go back!

This place is absolutely amazing. My wife and I ordered the prix fixe menus (vegetarian and vegan). The food was inspired – presentation was great, every course was delicious (although my wife disagrees about the vegetarian dessert – she thinks it was too sweet; I ate it up). This was one of the best vegetarian restaurants we’ve been to worldwide. Including our home in USA (Candle 79 and Millennium – you’ve got serious competition).
I heard the pope was planning on beatifying the Burrata-​filled Ravioli. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it probably is.
Other notes: service was fine. Restaurant was hot, though. As the previous reviewer noted, seemed there was an issue with the AC. I think the issue was the fact that the door to the patio was left open. But I guess we’ll never know.
Seriously recommend this place to anyone visiting Rome, especially carnivores who might overlook it.

This was the first place at which I ate in Italy! What a great way to start off my 2-​week Italian adventure. Once I got past the language barrier and learned how to communicate a little bit, I could figure out what each dish was in this buffet-​style, vegetarian restaurant.
TONS of fresh veggies, which says a lot since I was coming from California. The staff was very helpful and friendly in trying to explain things to me. They even had plenty of options for my wife, who is both vegan and gluten-​free!
Though you can eat a lot, given that it’s a buffet, the meal still feels light (especially compared to all the pasta in Italy!). I would definitely recommend it for vegetarians and those who are just looking for a healthy option!

Enfin un restaurant végétarien gastronomique ! Excellent et prix correct. En plein cœur de Rome, à deux pas de la Piazza di Spagna.

wow completley blown away by this! vegan and vegertarian friendly! (just request vegan). they take veggie eating to a whole nother level!!!
a must try for veggie friends and meat eaters too! i swear it will make you a plant based lover! wish they were in la! try all the desserts!!!

Pricey, but great quality, good service, and original dishes. My wife and I asked for the Classico menu and each dish brought something new and interesting. Recommended, but beware that you will be paying on the high end

Good buffet at noon. Great vegetarian in a great location. Pablo Picasso used to live in Via Margutta

There is a lot to be said for a vegetarian restaurant in Rome, considering that a traditional Osteria (unlike Il Margutta) is not very vegetarian friendly. There is also the comparison factor of how much a traditional tourist trap restaurant would cost, which is still more than IL Margutta.
The lunch buffet runs from 12:00 to 4 PM, although technically this means until 3. Reason being that italian restaurants have a hard close at 4 and reopen for dinner.
Now let’s get to the restaurant itself. Number one, the restaurant is on via Margutta (as named). So plan to get there via taxi or metro, because the city tour busses do not strop you nearby.
The restaurant itself is attractive, with a nice clean interior with it’s own café and bar. Outside is a nice carpeted area and between the two is the buffet during lunch.
The food itself was simple and excellent. You have a choice of 3 brunch packages ranging up to 18 Euro for the «Happy» package which includes all brunch options, wine, cappuccino, and cake. If you’re eating said happy option, don’t expect to eat the rest of the day. 8 hours and 8 miles of walking around later, I’m not even remotely hungry yet.
The food itself ranges from Greek style (cucumbers with Greek yogurt) to Indian style (a mild Indian tofu curry) to traditional brunch style (an egg casserole) and Italian style (explicitly common but not Roman style). By which I mean pomodoro pasta (red/​tomato sauce), risotto with pesto, eggplant parmesan, and a pasta salad with vinaigrette. Brunch can also include (based on package) fresh fruit, bulgar salad and juice/​bread as well.
If you haven’t had the impression by now, there is a lot of food. Which is good because it’s all very good food. Nothing was any worse than good, and many dishes were great!
The bill as mentioned was 36 Euro, which beats the average 40−50+ at nice restaurants and was well worth it. Anyone going to Italy (rome), this place is a must try.

Good and creative vegetarian menu! After 4 days in Rome I was in need of something fresh and light. Hit the spot! I want to go back tonight.
My wife enjoyed simple pasta with tomato sauce that was very fresh with buffalo mozzarella.
I had summer salad and melon/​fig/​ricotta/​honey plate.
Refreshing break from the monotony.

Quite pricey, but it’s in the heart of Rome so I think it’s reasonable. Food is amazing and the restaurant itself is very beautiful because it’s also an art gallery. It’s near the Spanish steps.

Un joli cadre
Restaurant végétarien qui convaincra les plus gros carnivores! Cuisine très fine, tout est délicieux et original, même le pain! De plus, une situation pittoresque (la rue «des artistes») et un cadre très chouette, avec de nombraux tableaux contemporains.

Un bon resto en temps de vache folle!
Restaurant très sympa le soir mais qui peut etre décevant au déjeuner. Atmosphère chaude grâce à une décoration artistique régulièrement renouvelée: plusieurs expositions de jeunes sculpteurs et dessinateurs. Des plats qui né cesseront de vous surprendre.
