Funghi E Tartufo

Unclaimed

I didn’t even wait to leave the restaurant to write this review. I’m just waiting outside while my partner is in the bathroom and I have to share. The mushroom pasta? perfection. The calamari? Just like I remember before I stopped eating meat. The chocolate cheesecake? How did they make it so creamy? We kept saying, “I’m so full, we should take the rest home” and somehow we lingered and managed to eat every bite despite the generous portions and richness of the food. 10/10 recommend. Also, the atmosphere is so lovely and the outdoor seating is vibrant and lively.

Insanely good for a nice night out. Very busy, but friendly service, and the food? Amazing. Everything was so fresh and flavourful and delicious. The tiramisu was probably the best dessert I have EVER enjoyed-- unfortunately I couldn't finish it because of the previous courses which were HUGE and absolutely divine. I'm vegan, so was here for obvious reasons, but would definitely encourage people who aren't to enjoy a meal here: the food reminds me of the higher end restaurant Italian food my family used to go out for when I was a kid. I doubt a lot of people would even notice it's plant based. Thoroughly loved it and can't wait for another special occasion where I can introduce someone else to this gorgeous place. Molto bene. ?

Second time there, if you are not a vegetarian yourself, you will literally get ‘cultured’ by how GOOD vegetarian cuisine can actually be! It’s beyond imagination and so fascinating to try to guess what’s in each dish. Don’t forget to order the cocktails, they are serious about their drinks! ? And their homemade desert is also yum.

Felt really amazing for this meal, never had vegan Italian cuisine like this before! - Entree: Calamari Fritti Made with vegan calamari, rocket, and capsicum. Honestly impressive. As a meat eater, I found the vegan calamari surprisingly close to the real thing. Probably made with konjac, but the texture and seasoning were so well done you wouldn’t really notice. - Contorni: Insalata rucola e pere The pear made this salad super fresh and crisp which is perfect with the heavier pasta. The vegan parmesan was interesting. Not as rich as real parmesan, but still pretty solid. - Primi: Spaghetti Carbonara A bit salty, but very close to what I had in Italy. My partner got to try his first-ever carbonara here. Pasta was cooked just right, sauce was thick and rich, recommend eating it with the salad to balance out the salt. - Dolci: Pannacotta ai frutti di bosco Not sure if this was the one, but it was a panna cotta-like dessert topped with berry sauce. You can tell it’s not made with dairy, but honestly very close. Berries were fragrant and not too sour. Overall, a fantastic experience. Really solid vegan Italian restaurant. They take allergies and dietary needs seriously, which we appreciated. Only downside: our order got missed, so we waited about 30-35 mins after the first entree before mains came out. Other than that, everything was great.

I was so excited to find out this is 100% plant-based Italian! ? Can’t imagine how hard it is to keep the classic flavours without meat—but they nailed it. Everything was super tasty, especially the cheesecake—smooth, fluffy, with salty caramel crunch. Service was friendly too. There was a small hiccup with the order, but it was a busy Friday and they did their best. Loved how the staff joined us to sing happy birthday with mini cakes—so sweet! Will definitely be back!?
