Gelateria S.M.Maggiore In Roma

23/02/2026: Best vegan place I've ever been! Even more beautiful and interesting than it looks in the photos. You can eat a vegan buffet for about 3.20 per 100g, which means that for less than €40 per person, we ate a lot of very high-quality vegan food, including water and dessert. The staff is extraordinary. The selection was endless: soy strips, seitan, tempeh, legumes, lasagna, cereals, bread, vegan cheese, sautéed vegetables, rustic vegan frittatas... And so on. The variety of food often featured some ingredients even repurposed in different versions, like the fake soy meat, which went from an Indian-style curry to its Italian counterpart, a scallop with mushrooms! A true delight. I also highly recommend the tempeh carpaccio: a real hit. Soft, fresh, slightly acidic; lively, complex flavor. Addictive. The system is simple: you come in, sit down, go to the counter, grab your plate, and start helping yourself to whatever you want. Then, go to the scale, and the attendant will weigh it. Every time you want more, you'll need to repeat the same procedure, and enjoy your meal. At the end of the meal, you'll pay the bill. You can also do the same with take-out trays. These are the businesses we need to support, which champion a vision of vegan eating that transcends stereotypes, where food truly matters: its preparation, the ingredients, the attention to detail. A vision where food satisfies the palate as well as the eyes, but above all, fills us up, leaving us satisfied and happy throughout the day.

22/02/2026: A very nice place in a less touristy area. They have an all-vegetarian buffet, where you can add whatever you want to your plate and then pay by weight. The dishes we ate were all delicious, flavorful but not overly spicy. I recommend it, but I recommend booking in advance. The staff is very friendly.
