Hey friends! If you're in Melbourne and craving some delicious vegan Italian food, you’ve got to check out Funghi e Tartufo. Nestled in the heart of the city at 60 Hardware Lane, Melbourne, this all-vegan restaurant is a game-changer for those looking for something a bit different to the usual vegan restaurant offering.

The name, which means 'mushrooms and truffle,' perfectly captures their signature dish and their passion for unique, flavourful plant-based cuisine.

Funghi e Tartufo Menu Highlights

At Funghi e Tartufo, you'll find an amazing variety of Italian classics, all made vegan. Here are some standout dishes:

• Lasagne: Layers of tender pasta, rich vegan bolognese, and creamy béchamel sauce, baked to perfection.

• Spaghetti Carbonara: Creamy and smoky, this is a reimagined version of the classic.

• Mock Meat Options: Try the Calamari Fritti, which offers a delightful crispy texture and flavour, or the Pollo di Cerda, a succulent vegan chicken dish.

• Main Courses: Vegan barramundi alla Messinese and breadcrumb-grilled vegan swordfish.

• Desserts: Panna cotta and chocolate cheesecake - two major stand outs on their menu.

And let’s not forget their impressive selection of vegan wines and cocktails, making it a perfect spot for a night out in Melbourne’s CBD as a vegan in Melbourne.

My Experience at Funghi e Tartufo

With their commitment to high-quality, plant-based Italian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, Funghi e Tartufo is a popular destination in Melbourne's vegan dining scene. Despite some recent inconsistencies, the potential for this restaurant is enormous.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this spot promises an unforgettable meal that respects both tradition and dietary choices. I’m hopeful that Funghi e Tartufo can refine their offerings and truly shine as a standout vegan dining destination in Melbourne.
