Sora Lella Vegan Roman Restaurant

Authentic Vegan Italian Just Minutes from the Music

Just off the beaten path in Edinburgh's Tollcross area, Sora Lella Vegan Roman Restaurant brings the flavors of traditional Roman cuisine to plant-based life. This charming, family-run spot is cozy and casual, with rustic decor and a relaxed vibe that feels like stepping into a friend's kitchen—if your friend happened to be a Roman vegan chef.

Only a short walk from key concert venues in Edinburgh, it's a warm and welcoming stop for anyone looking to fuel up before a night of music. The menu highlights homemade Italian classics, from rich pasta dishes to decadent desserts, all 100% vegan and made with love.

Why Concert-goers love it

Sora Lella’s location makes it an ideal pre-show dining option: close enough to major venues to grab a meal and still make it in time for doors open. The service is friendly and efficient, so you won’t feel rushed—or delayed. The low-key, intimate setting keeps noise levels manageable, so you can actually chat with your concert crew. Plus, the hearty portions make sure you won’t be hungry halfway through your setlist.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a cozy and inclusive dining spot
• Solo travelers grabbing a nourishing meal before the show
• Couples on a romantic weekend music getaway
• Fans wanting a more low-key, sit-down pre-show option
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and flavor

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the authentic Roman flavors and how even non-vegans walk away impressed. The carbonara and lasagna get particular shoutouts, as does the indulgent tiramisu. Guests love the warm hospitality and how the staff are happy to talk through the menu. Many say it's a hidden gem that’s worth finding, especially for those with dietary restrictions.

Areas for Improvement

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so it’s smart to book ahead if you're dining with a group or on a weekend. Some guests mention that it can get a bit warm inside during busy hours, and while the rustic charm is a plus for many, those wanting a more modern or upscale vibe might find it a bit too homey.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a gig and want a feel-good, full-flavored vegan meal close to the action, Sora Lella is a delicious and down-to-earth choice.
