Arancia Blu

Frommer's Review

Fabio Bassan and Enrico Bartolucci serve Rome's best vegetarian cuisine. Under soft lighting and wood ceilings, surrounded by wine racks and university intellectuals, the friendly waiters will help you compile a menu to fit any dietary need. The dishes at this trendy spot are inspired by peasant cuisines from across Italy and beyond. The appetizers range from hummus and tabbouleh to zucchini-and-saffron quiche and salad with apples, gorgonzola, and balsamic vinegar. The main courses change seasonally and might include lasagna with red onions, mushrooms, zucchini, and ginger; couscous con verdure (vegetable couscous); or ravioli ripieni di patate e menta (ravioli stuffed with potatoes and mint served under fresh tomatoes and Sardinian sheep's cheese). The restaurant offers 250 wines and inventive desserts, such as dark-chocolate cake with warm orange sauce.
