Botanica Lab In Bologna

Very friendly and courteous service! The interior design is stylish and modern. Another positive thing is that you won't be bombarded with bad music here. The tables and chairs outside could be larger and more stable/comfortable. The food was very lovingly and attractively prepared as well as colorfully. There is a good selection of original and traditional dishes. Finally vegan pasta in Bologna! What we think could be improved is the intensity of the taste. The dishes lack a bit of "oomph", depending on the dish, for example in the form of more fresh herbs, garlic, spices, roasted seeds, capers or similar. Nevertheless, it was a very nice stay and I clearly recommend the Botanica Lab.

Our favorite vegan restaurant. The 3D thread is worldwide.

We spent 48 euros on pure pleasure. Excellent quality food and different from the usual. I can express only one negative note which is in the vegan chicken used in the poke, as I am not a fan of processed chicken. Excellent potatoes, well spiced and. Well counted. In the burrito I would have also added beans or rather something that had a different consistency from the vegetables and cheeses inside them. The patty was sublime. Beautiful location in the middle of a street in Bologna Calm

My favorite veg place in Bologna. 🤍

It's hard to find a seat but it's good

Good vegan restaurant in the center of Bologna. Typical, not standard Italian, menu.

Very good food, especially the fillet! My friend's gnocchi was also excellent.

Bologna, heatwave capital of the universe, sun pounding the cobblestone streets like a mad drummer on a relentless bender. At 1 PM, I stumbled into "Botanica Lab," a vegan hideaway, a refuge from the relentless inferno. The name, a promise of cool shade in a world turned to white-hot madness. It is an unassuming sanctum of greenery tucked away in one of many alleys of Bologna. The fresh air inside hummed with the low murmur of hushed conversations and the faint aroma of Italian spices. The walls, decorated with memories from the past, seemed to breathe, drawing in the night’s chaotic energy and exhaling calm. Inside, the dim light is a balm to my sun-scorched eyes. I collapsed into a corner booth, the wooden chair cool against my skin, and scanned the QR code menu. “Gnocchetti estivi”, it read, the words leaped off the page like a lifeline. I ordered, the anticipation a sweet agony. The waiter nodded, a silent understanding passing between us. The staff here, invisible sentinels of service, seem to understand the need for space, for quiet in a world gone mad with heat. They moved with a practiced grace, an unspoken language of care and precision. The dish arrived, a vision of verdant perfection. Plump wholesome gnocchi, soft pillows of potato, swathed in a rich and captivating, emerald pesto with the addition of crushed pistachos. I savored each bite, the coolness of the pesto a sharp contrast to the fiery world beyond these walls. The gnocchi are a revelation - tender yet firm, the perfect vehicle for the vibrant green sauce. Each forkful is a journey, a reminder that beauty can still be found in the midst of chaos. As I finished my meal, a glass of chilled Passito arrived. I took a sip, the crisp, fruity notes cutting through the richness of the pesto, a final flourish in this symphony of flavor. I leaned back, a contented sigh escaping my lips, and glanced around the room. Others were lost in their own culinary reveries, the heat outside nothing more than a distant memory. “Botanica Lab" is more than a restaurant - it is a haven, a place where the boundaries between sustenance and sanctuary blur. Here, in the heart of Bologna, I have found refuge, not just from the heat, but from the madness of the world. And in that moment, with the taste of pesto still lingering on my tongue, I am at peace.

Abbiamo mangiato molto bene è sempre una garanzia una combinazione di sapori e colori buonissimo il nuovo dolce la tarte tatin con gelato di anacardi
