Taverna Bacco e Tabacco In Penne

02/08/2024: Fantastic experience! I don't know how to describe it other than fantastic, I had never been to a vegetarian/vegan restaurant and I admit with great satisfaction that I will more than willingly go back to spend another very pleasant evening. We were delighted with an appetizer consisting of seasonal vegetable fritters with sauces made by them (vegan mayo and sweet and sour sauce), focaccia in segments with roasted aubergines, veg mayo, peanuts, spring onion and fresh ginger, nothing short of spacey and in fact highly recommended, and courgette flowers fried. For first courses we chose noodles with sautéed oriental-flavoured vegetables and sesame seeds and potato gnocchi with datterini sauce, friggitelli, stracciata and crunchy crumbs flavored with garlic, oil and chilli. The gnocchi were a little too soft for my taste but they didn't stick to the teeth and were therefore fully enjoyable. And a first of the day of which unfortunately I don't remember the description but it can be seen in the photo. For second courses we focused on courgette meatballs with marinated cabbage, white bean hummus and dried fruit crunch and the second course on the menu of the day, a slice of mushrooms with marrocca (as you can see in the photo). To conclude with a cup with caramel whipped cream and salted peanut crunch. Choice of wine entrusted to the waiter's advice but still a wine list with a more than satisfactory choice. Bread produced by them and also varied between focaccia, walnut bread, olive bread, wholemeal bread and so on! There were 5 of us at the table and we all left super satisfied both for the quantity but above all for the quality of the food eaten, if we really want to find a flaw the waiting times are a little above average but the place was full so I'm sure that in a calmer situation you are calmly on schedule. The presence of a menu of the day is excellent for those who perhaps prefer to break away from the à la carte menu which, however, as you can see from the photo, offers more than satisfactory choices. In short, many compliments on the cuisine and the service and a great desire to come back and try the rest!

01/08/2024: Wide range of all vegan dishes with good combinations of selected and fresh ingredients and careful and non-trivial execution! Very kind, friendly and helpful staff, cozy but not noisy environment, tastefully furnished by mixing very different furnishing elements. Price more than fair for the quality and imagination offered. Really good, to be rewarded!!! 💖 The only flaw is the poor cooling of the small room at the entrance which is affected by the heat of the adjacent kitchen: ask to be seated in the second room where the temperature is perfect!
