Delicious Italian food in iconic Hardware Lane - Edit
Absolutely delicious with depth of flavour and so well replicated i thought the parmesan on the rocket was real (it is all vegan)! The pistachio ice cream is divine. #Veganuary

Fully vegan Italian - Edit
I had the lasagne. It was nice but if you like a more cheesy/creamy lasagne with bechamel sauce, check out Gaz Oakley's recipe 😋 The vegan swordfish was good.

To sweet but enjoyed it, pricey! - Edit
Had 3 meals. The lasagne was very tomatoie still nice just very sweet tasting. The eggplant fagottino was not to bad as well. I enjoyed the swordfish dish the best. Probably go for a ravioli or gnocchi.

3.75 stars: Pricey but good once in awhile - Edit
The pappardelle with truffle and mushroom sauce is my go to.
Read moreAlso LOVE the calamari.
The tiramisu was a little disappointing as it was quite dry, it hadn't been soaked in enough liquid as there was no Amaretto taste, but the cream was really good, great texture.
Service was friendly, music was a little loud, felt like I had to shout.
Prices are too high.
Pros: Calamari, Pappardelle

It's my favorite vegan restaurant in Melbourne💘 - Edit
It is a chic brick building with a very stylish interior. I don't think you can go wrong no matter where you sit, including the seats in front of you.
Read moreI've been there a few times and the service and food are always great.
Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo is the best pasta I've ever had💮
I would like to try other dishes, but I definitely want to eat this pasta, but the portions are so large that it's difficult to try other dishes. 😂
This is one of my favorite places to visit in Melbourne.

Best Italian for Vegans - Edit
I went for my second time recently and the standard is still just as high as last year. Extensive (yet not overwhelming) menu, friendly and efficient service and super delicious food. The pumpkin ravioli was the best ravioli I’ve had. Great ambience, clean etc. Slightly expensive but worth it for the quality of food, portion size and service from staff. Can’t wait to visit again next year and try another dish.

Excellent Italian vegan - Edit
All plant based Italian restaurant. You need to eat here, bring your friends, great vegan food and wine. Even whiskey/tequila sour cocktails with aquafaba foam.
Read moreBack for our second visit. Amazing. The Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo is fantastic. There will be many more nights here.

Pros: Almost can’t believe the ‘Calamari’ is plant based, Eggplant tagliatelle dish, and cheesecake and panacotta desserts 👍
Cons: Pumpkin purée in gnocchi dish lacked flavour

Have to disagree on the calamari and panna cotta. The other dishes look delicious though.

@Tiggy disagree based on photos? I’m sure this review was my opinion of the restaurant.

It looks like Tiggy reviewed this restaurant back in December 2021 when it first opened, commenting on both the calamari and panna cotta then (so opinion not based on photos)...maybe those dishes are better now? Great to see a fully vegan restaurant being well supported.

Yes is a great vegan restaurant, in fact just a great restaurant full stop. Would recommend everyone try it.

Great place - Edit
Had a wonderful delicious dinner. Located in a pedestrian area with lots of restaurants. We had a nice outside table. Started with the calamari and then Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo finishing with tiramisu and a cup of coffee. Service was great. A good experience.

Fancy and worth it - Edit
The food is sublime, service professional and it is a true fine dining experience. We normally opt for much simpler places to eat, but F&T is out of this world and totally worth it for a special occasion. We chose the pasta options, so can’t comment on the mock fish etc. the Tiramisu was delicious too

Cons: Nothing really

A bit flash for me - Edit
I had to remind myself of some restaurant etiquette here because I don’t really have any! Wasn’t expecting it to be nearly as fancy as it was.
Read moreWe got some pasta olives and a few glasses of vino and it was all amazing. Particularly the dish that shares the name of the restaurant, Fungi E tartufo, now that was special, some of the best vegan mushroom pasta I’ve ever had, and I’ve had some good vegan mushroom pasta.
Would come back, when I’ve got a higher paying job!
Pros: Excellent service, Fantastic dishes, Great location
Cons: Very expensive

Superb Vegan Fine Dining - Edit
I took a non vegan friend to Funghi for a special birthday.
Read moreI found the service to be attentive, professional and friendly without being overbearing.
The menu was extensive, both plant based meat/fish and wholefood options. I am not a fan of plant based meats, but good to see it available to those who do enjoy. There were plenty of choices for me, even given this.
The tortellini, eggplant I had was delicious, well presented and very filling.
This is a special place and i was delighted to find a fine dining, fully vegan restaurant.
Pros: Wide choice of vegan meals, Atmosphere and service, Size of meal

Okay - Edit
I'm not sure if this is just the night that we attended, but my experience here wasn't great. I was in a group of 4, and we were seated right near a door with people coming and going every two seconds. The service wasn't great and we kept needing to flag down people, and the food was okay but not amazing for the price. Based on the other reviews though I'm hoping it was a one off. I would come back again because they're a vegan venue which is amazing.

Special place - Edit
Great place to have a special meal. My daughter had the eggplant pasta and really enjoyed it. I had the lasagna which was a little disappointing. Predominantly pasta with sauce. Nothing really between layers. I still enjoyed the evening and the mushroom arancine were delicious.

Absolutely delicious - Edit
4.5 because it was quite pricey, thankfully I was leeching off of someone else 🤑
Read moreThe calamari was absolutely amazing. I kept munching on that for real. The carbonara, lasagna, pumpkin ravioli were so fricking good.
If I had my own law firm and made bank I'd come here everyday to eat dinner.
