Buddy Veggy Restaurant Cafè

100% vegan restaurant (reported fully vegan since Sept 2022). Every dish on the menu uses plant-based substitutes for meat, dairy and eggs — vegan cheese from cashews/coconut, soy-based cream, tofu scramble, Beyond Meat, vegan cured meats. HappyCow lists the venue under the 'Vegan' category (not merely 'Veg-options'), and multiple independent reviewers confirm 'all vegan' / '100% vegan restaurant'. No animal products exist on the premises.

Structurally vegetarian by virtue of being entirely vegan. No meat, fish, poultry or any animal by-products are present anywhere in the kitchen. The official website describes the venue as '100% vegetale' (plant-based) and all community sources corroborate this.

The kitchen operates as 100% vegan. No menu item contains milk or dairy, which is EU allergen number 7. All cheese used is vegan, made from cashew, coconut oil, or soy. All cream is soy or vegetable cream. Dairy is structurally absent from the premises.

The kitchen operates as 100% vegan, meaning EU allergen 3 (eggs) does not appear on any menu item. Egg-like preparations use scrambled tofu (tofu strapazzato). Eggs are structurally absent from the premises.

Soy (EU allergen 6) is a primary ingredient across virtually the entire menu, soy flour, tofu, soy-based dressings, soy cream, soy protein (vegan tuna, vegan bacon, vegan cheese) appear in almost every dish. EU allergen code 6 is marked per dish. The kitchen is shared, with a blanket cross-contamination disclaimer on all items. Only a handful of plain vegetable dishes (e.g. carciofo alla romana, cicoria ripassata, puntarelle) appear to be soy-free, making this restaurant very difficult to navigate for those with soy intolerance.

The menu features tree nuts (EU allergen 8) and peanuts (allergen 5) heavily. Dishes that contain or may contain nuts include Tagliere with cashews, almonds, and pistachios; Brownies with almond milk and hazelnuts; Cheesecakes with hazelnuts, almonds, and a peanut butter base; Acai Bowl with hazelnuts, peanuts, and almonds; Muesli with hazelnuts, peanuts, and almonds; Carrot Cake and Crostata Vegana with almonds and a 'may contain peanuts and other nuts' note. EU allergen codes 5 and 8 are marked per dish. A shared kitchen means a blanket cross-contamination disclaimer applies. The restaurant is not appropriate for those with nut anaphylaxis.

EU allergen code 1 (gluten-containing cereals) is marked per dish throughout the menu. The pinsa section carries the label 'anche s/z glutine' (also with/without gluten), and several pinsa items explicitly flag a naturally gluten-free base option. On every such item the venue itself states: 'Prodotto non adatto per celiaci / we do not guarantee non-contamination, product not suitable for celiacs.' FindMeGlutenFree community reports confirm no dedicated fryer and a shared kitchen. Staff are trained and warn customers of cross-contamination risk. Atly classifies the venue as 'Accommodating, some risk of cross-contamination'. Not safe for coeliac disease.
