Roots

At Lavatoio, the plant-based option is not an alternative.
It is an important part of our cuisine.

Our gentle revolution

There are dishes that need no explanation.
They don’t say what’s missing. They say what is there —
and what there is That's enough, and move forward.

At Il Lavatoio, the plant-based section is not a substitute service: it is an important part of our cuisine. We work with select raw materials, dedicated techniques and continuous experimentation to create full-bodied, comforting plant-based dishes that do not need meat to be complete.

There is no militancy here. There is curiosity. There is the desire to understand just how far an ingredient can go if you look at it closely.
