Rewild

My husband spent an extended time in Rome for work. I shamelessly tagged along for a couple of weeks (twice) in a year and so have spent many a day wondering around the streets of Rome while staying in the Trastevere area. My husband discovered Rewild through Happy Cow and since it was a 30 minute walk from our hotel, served as a beautiful evening walk to a wonderful and satiating vegetarian/​vegan meal.
Located in the Marconi (?) area, you can get here by getting off at the Basilica St Paolo Metro stop and walking here. The restaurant opens nightly at 8pm and apparently stays open through 1am. Dogs are allowed.
Rewild is not a regular restaurant. It’s got more of what we in the US would call a dive-​bar atmosphere. I don’t say that in a bad way. In fact I loved the laid-​back vibe and the passionate people who ran Rewild. It was a side of Italy I didn’t see during the day. Where the people were not embodiments of dressing or hipster perfection.
The food at Rewild is just stellar. The menu to start of with is extremely extensive with a heavy Italian and American influence. Appetizers, pastas, burgers and wraps.
Start with the chicken nuggets. Yum and crispy. Then try the veggie croquettes with a smooth and creamy spinach filling and a deep fried shell. Comfort in the mouth. I’ve had a plethora of their seitan dishes, ravioli, wraps and burgers. ALL EXCELLENT.
End with their canoli filled with VEGAN nutella. You will go INSANE.
Also, the place is very reasonably priced and has a large alcohol menu. Their mixed drinks are very potent and good.
