La Balestra In Roma

09/08/2026: We were delighted to find this restaurant/trattoria on social media that has adopted vegan cuisine alongside traditional cuisine. Talking with the charming owner until late at night after closing (with the waiter's friendly look that cut our backs! 🤣), he tried offering vegan cuisine and noticed it was receiving a huge response. The fascinating thing is that even over the phone during the reservation, they asked us what type of cuisine we preferred. To our astonishment, we found our table ready with an entirely vegan menu! ❤️ PLEASE NOTE: The portions are very generous. If you want to try everything, split the dish or ask for a half portion. 🤣 They know it too, so they recommend it! 🤣 ...and that's where word of mouth comes in. We'll be back. * * * * *

08/08/2026: I'm celiac and I think it's fantastic! The food is excellent, and the gluten-free menu is comparable to the regular menu. The amatriciana was delicious. They make their own gluten-free bread, and it's delicious, with a lovely crunchy crust. Not to mention the zuppa inglese: delicious! I go back every now and then when I can; it's a restaurant where they pay great attention to their celiac customers, better than some of the AIC (Italian Celiac Association) restaurants, which are rather disappointing. Very friendly staff and fast service.
