L'osteria - Luxembourg

As many of you may know, January is often associated with Veganuary. When I discovered that this restaurant had a special vegan menu, I knew I had to give it a try. Their pizzas are well-known for being larger than the plate they are served on, so make sure to come hungry if you want to finish the whole thing. However, on this occasion, I decided to sample their ravioli filled with a vegan fish substitute made from seaweed and field bean protein, served in a tomato sauce with onions, garlic, and basil. The ravioli had an appealing appearance and tasted decent, although nothing particularly outstanding. While the portion size was smaller compared to their pizzas, I left feeling satisfied after my meal. I would definitely return to try another dish from their vegan menu if given the opportunity.

There were only 2-3 options for vegans, with more choices available for vegetarians. Unfortunately, the vegan Spaghettini dish with arugula and tomatoes came covered in parmesan, which is not even suitable for vegetarians. The service was extremely slow, which further lowered the overall experience. Finally, when the correct dish was brought out, it was missing the arugula (and the restaurant was also out of Coke Zero), leaving a plain pasta and sauce dish that was quite disappointing for an Italian restaurant. It was a disappointing experience overall.

I ordered the vegan pizza (Pizza Tu-Nah Cipolla) at this restaurant. When my pizza cooled down, I noticed that the "vegan" cheese tasted very similar to real cheese. After asking the server, I found out that it was indeed real cheese. It turns out they were out of their vegan cheese alternative and failed to inform me. I would not recommend this restaurant for those observing Veganuary.

It is disappointing to receive plain pasta with a simple sauce at an Italian restaurant. Are you kidding me? Additionally, the restaurant only had Coke Zero available.

I ordered the vegan pizza (Pizza Tu-Nah Cipolla) and once it had cooled down a bit, I realized that the "vegan" cheese looked and tasted very similar to regular cheese. When I asked the server, they confirmed that it was actually real cheese and not a vegan alternative. They didn't even think to inform me about it. I don't think I can trust this restaurant. #Veganuary
