The perfect place for a group of people where both vegans and celiacs were present. The vegan sushi I had here is something I’ve never had anywhere else, not to mention the little pizza... really very inclusive and everything was super tasty.

So far I have been three times, I have tried different dishes and I have never been disappointed. Everything is vegetarian and gluten-free, all tasty and well presented. Even my daughters, who are not celiac, were enthusiastic. If we want to find a flaw, it is a bit pricey - but it's worth the expense.

Really sad to rate this so poorly. This was our first meal in Milano and we wanted to start off the trip with a special one and was really looking forward to it. Sadly I was extremely disappointed. The starter (nuggets) was quite nice and had interesting textures. However the mains tasted extremely poorly, probably the worst vegan food I ever had. Both of the meals (risotto and gnocchi) tasted very off - almost like there was something in it that was not in date or expired and had a very strange undertaste of chemicals. At the same time while the mains arrived, the air almost smelled like strong cleaning chemicals so maybe that is what made the food taste so awful as the starter was fine before the strong chemical smell started. Either way, I was extremely hungry and still wasn’t able to finish it was so bad. Money went down the drain at the checkout and I had to go to get different food after I left this place. It’s a shame because the atmosphere was great, the decor is very nice as well and I hate to rate the food so low however sadly it was unexpectedly inedible.

Shocked by how many vegan cafes there are in Milan but this was one of my tops! A very unique dining experience with its chic atmosphere and unique flavors. The main courses I ordered — the risotto milano, ratatouille, etc. — were quite good but the true star of the show was the tiramisu. So fresh, flavorful, and not too sweet, and amazing texture for being vegan! Will definitely be back for their desserts alone haha!

What can I say that hasn't been said before? This place has excellent food, top notch service, and good vibes. Not cheap, but totally worth it. Hard to believe that the roast is not real meat. Scary good!

Simply the best vegan (and gluten-free) Italian restaurant. Food that excites, amazes, and leaves you speechless. From ingredient sourcing to execution worthy of a Michelin star. Friendly and professional service, unique hospitality from Edoardo, and a location that creates a multisensory pleasure (even the music matches perfectly). The sushi selection will move you. May this be the start of a rEvolution towards a healthier, ethical, inclusive, and conscious lifestyle. Thank you from the heart 💚

An experience I recommend. The more you dare, the more satisfied you will be. Don't order dishes you could find at other restaurants. I found the nuggets and the steak great, as well as the risotto and the sushi. I must say the dessert didn't excite me, but I repeat, overall it was a nice experience. For those arriving by car, you can use the parking at the nearby Esselunga.

Everything was delicious! It was a wonderful evening: friendly and attentive staff, refined and tasty dishes, prices not too high compared to other vegan restaurants (maybe just the water at €3 for 0.5L is a bit much). We had a tasting of 40 sushi pieces and a steak, plus a Halloween-themed dessert (really delicious!). We will definitely come back.

Excellent meal. Exquisite and unique vegan food. Very pleasant and quiet atmosphere. A bit pricey but well worth it. The only dish we didn’t like was the risotto. Everything else – superb!!!

Linfa is one of my favorite restaurants in Milan. The staff is professional and very kind. The food, plant-based, is truly delicious and beautifully presented. The pastry is excellent. I recommend the tiramisu.
5
One of the best vegan restaurants I have ever been to! Beyond the taste, which is very close to the original flavor of meat and fish, the presentation of the dishes is also stunning. In addition, both the waitstaff and the manager are delightful people, capable, helpful, and very friendly!

Stellar food, excellent service, fantastic evening. We had the tasting menu, and are both delighted and stuffed with food. The sushi was outstanding, but every single dish was well composed and executed. We were particularly impressed by the cheese replacements - as vegetarians we wouldn't mind swapping to some of them, they were top tier alternatives. Clearly some top talent in the kitchen, and front of house were courteous, professional, and attentive. Highly recommend!!

The locale is super aesthetic and chic yet welcoming, with a noticeable attention to detail. The staff is genuinely friendly, smiling, and very helpful. We came from Bolzano to Milan just to eat at this restaurant because all their products are gluten-free and vegan. It was a wonderful dinner because their dishes and their cooking concept are surprising! We ordered all types of uramaki sushi, and each type was an explosion of flavors. Our favorites were: Tempura Blossom, Avo No Salmon, Seaside. We were pleasantly satisfied!🥰

The place has simple yet elegant and well-curated details. Impeccable service, equally amazing food. Incredible cashew gnocchi and pepper, cashew tiramisu as well. For vegans and non-vegans, the dishes are beautiful and delicious, no labels needed, just a desire to try new flavors and combinations 💚 I can't wait to return and try everything else.

I was brought here for a surprise and I don't regret it. When I was welcomed, I missed the personal greeting (to me). Only my husband, who made the reservation, was greeted. They took us to our table and unfortunately, I didn't see the menu. We chose the tasting menu. Highly recommended. Excellent from A to Z and good portions. It is always explained what it is. The dessert and decaffeinated oat coffee were also very good. Something hard to find in Italy. I received a small dessert as a surprise (for my birthday). The bathrooms are nice. Clean. Suitable for children and pets, but it's a bit tight for wheelchairs. But doable. Fortunately, we were in the smallest room, so it wasn't too noisy because it was full at lunchtime. At first, the music was too loud and intense, but then it improved. The staff is very friendly and attentive, although in my opinion, they were a bit too attentive and we walked around too much, which was a bit annoying while eating. There was always someone in the room and as soon as a plate or a glass was empty, someone came to take them away. But despite that, we will return immediately, even if the price is high, it's worth it and we would be very happy if a restaurant like this opened here (in Switzerland). I live a vegan lifestyle and something good like this is lacking everywhere. Thank you very much and good luck with this fantastic concept.

At Linfa, vegan philosophy is a choice and not a trend. The dishes are beautiful, delicious, and don't make you miss traditional flavors. In short, the staff knows what they are doing and does it well, both in the kitchen and in the dining area. They know how to cook, so you won't find the 'usual' sad and boring vegetables or huge salads when asking traditional restaurateurs for a vegan alternative. I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday with friends while honoring the vegan philosophy of a friend. Excellent dishes that are enjoyed first with the eyes and then with the mouth. We tried three types of cuisine offered: sushi, pasta dishes, and pizzas. The sushi (avo no salmon) is very tasty, moist, and compact. For the main course, we chose garganelli with shitake ragù; it's very flavorful and well-balanced in taste and ratio of sauce to pasta. The pizza is a delight to share. I find the menu just right in terms of variety, able to satisfy different customer tastes. Desserts are limited but very good. The wine list isn't overwhelming; there are also 0% alcohol options and fermented drinks. The service is unobtrusive, courteous, and welcoming. The atmosphere is elegant but not heavy, unlike some places that come off as snobbish. Prices are in line with offers from other spots in the area. Let yourself be tempted!

New Year's review, from Genoa to Milan it was necessary and mandatory to finally try Linfa. Our family was enchanted and so struck by the goodness of the dishes that during a week of vacation, we went twice (the first and last day!) We took advantage of the business lunch formula which allowed us to taste all the dishes on the menu by sharing them. Everything was delicious and light, the dishes were so good and unique that I couldn't name a favorite. Absolutely recommended, very kind staff.
