Aldo Zilli has taken best restaurant in The Independent‘s Best of Green awards.

Signor Zilli was converted into a vegetarian Italian restaurant in London, Zilli Green, a few months ago.

Although the UK Metro came up short with nice things to say about it, The Independent says Zilli Green wins for featuring multi-cultural seasonal dishes and avoiding the stereotypical vegetarian entrees like veggie burgers.

Bonus: The head chef at Zilli Green, Enzo di Marino, has been a vegan for 12 years, so he’s had plenty of experience sampling anything served to you.

Aldo Zilli‘s vegetarian Italian restaurant, Zilli Green, open a couple of months ago and after Metro sampled the food, atmosphere and service, it came up a little less than satisfied.

Zilli Green was given a (ouch) 1 out of 5 stars for everything from cold tempura and portabello mushroom to ignorant service.

Metro hints that you can get vegetarian Italian food anywhere that serves Italian, presumably by leaving the meatballs off.

“Some of the best meat-free cooking in the world is Italian; you can easily eat an entirely vegetarian meal in a conventional Italian restaurant without even being aware of it.”

Zilli Green may be a little shaker in its infancy, but it is only two months old, and like any business, there’s probably several details to work out.

Not only is Zilli Green giving London a vegetarian Italian option, but there are several items on the menu listed as vegan, such as ice cream.

And despite having pasta shops on every corner, some specifically vegetarian and even vegan Italian eateries have worked, as the case with Chrissie Hynde‘s Vegiterranean in the U.S.

Might it be reasonable for more Soho vegetarians to give Zilli Green a try and let the staff politely know where improvements can be made?
