Awesome Vegano Italiano

Great vegan Italian food. Would highly recommend. It’s expensive but food is top class. Everything I tried was quality. Can’t wait to go back.

It's my favorite vegan restaurant in Melbourne💘

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.
I'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

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.

Indescribable

The quality of this meal was unbelievable-the care that goes into it is so obvious. The onions are so delicate & the flavours so balanced!

Great place

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.

Top notch Italian food

We had the Carbonara, the Lasagna and a shared rocket salad with vegan cheese and walnuts. All of them were very delicious, the carbonara especially. For desert we had a tiramisu wich was unbelievable delicious.

Cons: Price

Fancy and worth it

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

Pros: Flavour, Great selection, Service/setting

Cons: Nothing really

A bit flash for me

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.

We 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

I took a non vegan friend to Funghi for a special birthday.
I 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

Special place

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

4.5 because it was quite pricey, thankfully I was leeching off of someone else 🤑

The 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.

Game Changer!

Was so great to finally be able to eat at an Italian restaurant. So many delicious options! 🍝
Creamy pasta, lasagna and calamari - even the non-vegan family members loved it.

Disappointed

I was so excited to try this place after seeing all the reviews. However we were so disappointed to find everything was flavourless and way overpriced. $20 for a carpaccio that consisted of 5 slices of plantitude salami, half a bag of rocket and some cherry tomatoes. For that price I would've expected something that i cant get from the supermarket. I literally could've thrown that together at home for less. The carbonara was inedible. The truffle pasta was okay, but I attribute that to the truffle. I'm still perplexed how the pasta dishes were $30 each when they contained mockmeats from the supermarket. Just had zero effort or creativity. Service wasn't great either. Really disappointed.

Wow nice to see someone else was let down massively. 10 years vegan and that was the worst meal I've had, without a doubt.

Delicious food, upmarket setting

I went for lunch and the place was quiet. It has an upmarket feel. The pasta I ordered was delicious, nice and creamy and had great flavour. I would definitely recommend this place for a date. The prices were high but this is to be expected given the quality of the food, the location, as well as general inflation.

Pros: Tasty food , Good ambiance , Staff seemed authentically Italian

Underwhelming

The menu online made this place sound too good to be true and unfortunately it was. We arrived about 8 minutes early for our reservation and were awkwardly told to come back at the exact time, not offered a drink or anything even though the place was totally empty. When we returned, a different staff member was very friendly though. Carpaccio was pretty good, but mains felt like something I could make at home which is not what we want for the high price point. It was nice to try once, but we wouldn’t go back with all the other great vegan options in Melbourne to try.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Carpaccio, Wide pasta

Cons: Awkward interaction with staff, Expensive, Average food
