Simple and good

It's not easy to find. Look at the photos to see what the outer gate looks like. Otherwise you will never find it.

The food was nice and simple, bland and good. Lots of vegan options. Menu with English .

As all italian cheese is made with animal rennet, as far as I have understood , we ate vegan.

The waiters were all very helpful. We ate there twice while in Naples

Pros: Good vegan options

Cons: Not easy to find unless you know

Nice

This place is a little hidden but gets quite full in the evening. Is 100% vegetarian and has many vegan/gluten free options. We had the tofu wok with rice and fried seitan. Both were pretty good, but the best part was the chocolate soufflé. I highly recommend!

Very good restaurant

This place is tucked away in a little court on the right side of the square, so you might miss seeing it. The food is very good and healthy--not top notch, but everything was fine and tasty and healthy,

Pros: Good food, Nice staff, Laid-back atmosphere

LOTS OF VEGAN OPTIONS

I ordered a Veggie & Tofu Wok Plate which came with yellow rice and a small salad and it was pretty damn good. Unfortunately my bf ordered a burger which only came as a patty and with a big salad. I think he imagined more like an "american style burger" but that‘s ok. Just the wrong dish to order there. Everything else was lovely.

Nice place

Nice place to have dinner in Naples. Dishes vary somewhat in quality. The antipasti were excellent, primi etc. great as well, but the secondi can be a hit-or-miss. My seitan kebab was mediocre, witn the seitan being very soft, and not very much taste. So I would recommend to avoid the secondi, there's plenty of other good stuff on the menu

Staff was very friendly and supportive.

Tomato sauce

The appetisers were very good, but the highlight of the meal was the seatan in tomato sauce. The sauce was absolutely delicious.

Lovely place

We arrived at the moment that the chef was closing the kitchen. Even so, he prepared for us the dish of the day : Potatoe and spinach gratin, pumpkin, celery and orange salad. Delicious! My husband also ate a slice of apple pie.

Lovely evening meal

We had a wonderful three course meal here tonight - shared the vegan salami platter, I had the breadcrumbed seitan and salad for main, partner had lasagne, then we had vegan chocolate soufflé for desert. All delicious! Staff lovely and friendly if a little rushed off their feet by a busy evening. Very affordable meal with a bottle of wine with it. Lovely location in old town. Would return!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Lovely atmosphere, Friendly staff

Good vegetarian/vegan option in Naples

Stumbled on this restaurant, hidden in a corner of Piazza Bellini, when exploring Naples. Full vegetarian menu with many vegan dishes. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. They also have biodynamic wines and other beverages. Many dishes feature tofu or seitan. For those who are looking for healthy food, be aware that many of the dishes are fried, and the tomato sauce was quite oily. On the upside, they do have salads, which you dress yourself. On the whole, the food was tasty and creative. Makes a nice change from the “pasta/pizza” cycle many vegetarians fall into here.

Pros: 100% vegetarian, Good location in historic Naples, Good value

Good food, good prices

We didn't try a lot of dishes because my girlfriend wasn't feeling well, but the ones we did were very nice, especially the bean soup.

The chocolate soufflé was nice, but not more.

Pros: Good food., Good service. , Good prices.

My favorite place in Naples

There are only few other restaurants that I have enjoyed as much as at Amico Bio. It's a gem in downtown Naples close to Piazza Dante.
First of all Amico Bio kinda saved me, since many other venue are closed during August, moreover it's opening times are great, since you can eat till very late.
As it is located in a patio by (often times very crowded) Piazza Bellini, it's easy to overlook. Whereas many restaurants nearby have long queues and waiting times to get a table, you'll always get a seat at Amico Bio (maybe not outside, but most certainly indoors).
They have an extensive (changing slightly daily) menu, that's about 70% vegan, whereas most of the remaining dishes can be made vegan as well (be sure to ask though, as it isn't always apparent from the description what's vegan and what isn't).
The staff is very friendly and knowledgable though and will gladly assist you with your order.
Once you have ordered, you'll get your food pretty quickly, even if there are many guests.
I ate there about five times and never was disappointed whatsoever.
Many dished come with fresh and tasty salad, really enjoyable. Try the seitan kebab, it's awesome! The marinated mushrooms and the baked potatoes (with rosemary) (both side dishes) were pretty convincing, too!
As far as I am concerned the only thing they could improve are maybe the desserts.
All in all everything is surprisingly inexpensive in my opinion.
Great venue to meet with friends and family.

Pros: high-quality ingredients, (rather) inexpensive, amazing staff and venue

Cons: desserts could be better

not great

Maybe the vegetarian options are more flavourful but our vegan meals were pretty bland. My boyfriend had the risotto which was tasteless and I had the salad which was a giant bowl of mostly iceberg lettuce (and £7.50!!) with some seiten, corn and tomato - no dressing or anything. Not impressed.

Cons: not tasty

bit confused

I just visited this place to ask if they have a shop, or sell food products and they didn't understand. I'd read in the description of this place that they have a food store

Can be hit and miss

It's not the only vegetarian restaurant in Naples anymore, so I adjusted my rating. Much of the food is lacking in flavour.

Situated in the old town of Naples, next to Piazza Bellini where you can have a drink or more afterwards with the student crowd, if you like.

The restaurant follows the standard Italian way of having dinner: antipasti, primo (pasta or rice or soup), secondo (fake meat) + contorno (vegetable side dish). Sometimes though they serve everything you order at the same time.

Food appears to be a hit+miss, once I had an extremely bland risotto and some seitan-dish al limone which was mostly drenched in oil and I couldn't even taste a hint of lemon. Another time a pasta dish and two contorni were very good.

Pros: Very centrally located, Nice vibe

Cons: Food can be bland

Buono!

Great little restaurant near the historic center of Naples. Great value for your money especially considering that everything is organic! Good portions and selection, I will definitely be back!

Pros: Healthy, Fresh, Organic

Good food

You have to go through a black gate to get to the place, the restaurant is cosy, the staff speak English and the food is delicious. When I went it was very busy and full with locals , so that is a good sign. would recommend.

nice place with good food

Nice restaurant, quiet, a bit hidden beside one of the main places in Naples. Easy to reach on foot and by underground (stop at Piazza Dante).
We had a tasty and satisfying vegan & organic dinner with 25€.
Although there are a variety of vegan dishes, I'd find this place perfect if they didn't offer dairy at all (since they are members of some animals' activists societies, this would be a perfectly coherent choice :-) ).

Pros: central, good food options

Cons: might be difficult to find the 1. time

nice veggie option

Un Sorriso is a nice veggie option in a city where pizza and pasta are kings.
The menu offers a pleasant diversity of vegetables and soy/seitan dishes.
Not particularly creative or exceptionally tasty, but good enough, with a pleasant atmosphere.
Location is amazing, right off the trendiest square of Naples, but still quiet and peaceful.

Nice and cozy atmosphere with a diverse menu

It is in a small alleyway that is nice and quiet. The atmosphere was very mellow and comfortable. The menu was bigger than we expected (lots of variety!) and the prices were better than expected as well. We ordered the zucchine and almond risotto, seitan alla pizzaiola and the piatto unico di verdure (sort of a sample platter of 8 or 9 different veggie dishes). It was a lot of food! Overall we felt that it was a very good value for money.

Pros: Location, Variety, Value

Interesting, healthy, vibrant food.

We had a great travel experience trying to find this place, wandering around in the amazing lanes of Spaccanapoli - in reality it is quite easy to find, if you look at a map properly! Anyway we arrived very late, but the very helpful and super friendly waiter made us feel welcome and explained all the food options to us. He had great English and was happy to speak in English, which is always a relief for me, as I hate making people speak in a language they are not comfortable with. I ordered the plate of everything - a little bit of everything on the menu - a great idea - and I loved it. My son ordered the red wine risotto, which he liked but it lacked a bit of flavour - I think this might be because we are so used to quite salty risottos and I don't think they use a lot of salt here. They also had some interesting organic beers and soft drinks. So glad we found it.

Pros: Amazing neighbourhood., Interesting, healthy food., Excellent service.

terrible

I have been there once with my friend because they are the only vegetarian rest. open on Sunday in Naples. The food was tasty but the service was the worst I ever saw. Dishes that we ordered later during our meal were coming too late so it happened that the green salad came just before dessert. Portions are not very large and the food is not macrobiotic or vegan, just vegetarian. They are frying a lot, and there are no vegan or macrobiotic desserts. The bill that we got was higher than we actually spend, because the famous green salad was 5.5 EUR instead of 3 EUR. After trying to catch the running waitress, that of course speaks barely english, we somehow succeeded to correct her count. Just worst experience ever!

Cons: not vegan/macrobiotic, steeling waitress, too noisy

Hi +++VeGaNiSaToR+++,
Sorry, not sure if, when, or by whom, your review was deleted. However, it would be great if you are a bit more descriptive, and say something about the food, rather than just saying "isn't good AT ALL". As for this place's veg status, please let us know these points using our update form. Thanks.
