Really mediocre food. Coffee was great.

Food okay, staff seem bit unhappy

Great to find fully vegan place, menu varied with choices of veganised italian classics but also burgers. We had the pasta nonna and the gnocchi, both were fine. Staff not very warm or friendly. Will go back to try other dishes as always good to support vegan initiatives - maybe the staff will have cheered up a bit...

Nice place

Nice place. I got a yellow chickpeas burger. The burger was very soft like paste and the bun was dry. It wasn't tasty for me.

Really good starters

My family and me had a nice lunch. The food was tasty, but not really special in spices. The starters were fantastic (Caponata and Bruschette), the mains ok.

Good

I've been there a couple of times, good burgers at a good price. They offer a special sauce with potatoes wedgefrench fries. I recommend to go there early to find all the options available. At the end it was a good experience, since SicilySiracusa isn't very vegan friendly.

Pros: Good prices, In the historical center

Cons: I could prefer to have more flavours

Disappointing

The food wasn't very tasty and came on one way disposable plates. Not very sustainable!

Cons: Credit card payment wasn't possible on that day.

Vegan, Organic casual dining

While my non-vegan friend has had the 5€ lentil burger & raved about it and my husband loved his crispy chickpea burger, I always have to try the more obscure menu items that range between 10-13€ 😂 What I’ve learned is that the owner / chef focuses on using seasonal ingredients which is awesome! The challenge is that what I order off the menu is never what I end up with. The cheese platter was delicious but really ended up being a medley of different flavored seitans. Delicious, yes but after living in a small village for a year, I really just wanted vegan cheese! My second visit was very similar. I ordered a dish that boasted creamy carrots and potatoes. Instead I got an amazing, colorful raw salad with a hearty & scrumptious lentil meat with gravy. The meal was incredible but do be prepared for anything! I love the peaceful messages throughout the cafe, organic produce, and his fresh fruit or veg juices. He sells vegan themed t-shirts and other items. The location is in a beautiful, quiet section of Ortigia. Don’t miss it!

Pros: Ingredients change seasonally, Inexpensive burgers, Organic produce

Cons: My meal rarely matches my order

Friendly, eco-centric, vegan place!

Nice vegan restaurant in Ortigia with appetizers, pasta, burgers, falefel, and a variety of other dishes. We had some really tasty things and some just-ok things, everything was healthy and the eco, 0-km focus was really nice. The person working each time we went was very friendly and helpful.

I had an incredible fresh juice that really hit the spot, don't miss that on a hot day. Some of the other dishes were short on strong flavours but pretty nicely done. The little terrace was nice. I was tending to a 4 star review but then after supper I had an incredible, thick, vegan hot-chocolate which bumped it up to a 5 :)

Pros: Eco-concious, Fresh juice, Friendly

Cons: Good be more flavours

Ok

Burger was dry and tasteless, fries ok. Nice protected seating outside (the last review is not longer up to date in this case). The owner is not the friendliest guy but it’s still an all vegan place what’s totally nice!

Vegan good food in old town Ortigia

Everything we had tasted good. Yellow burger is a bit dry. Main problem here is the seating. Small deli style inside, outside seating is next parking garage. Constant traffic and fumes mar the whole effect. If they could move to pedestrian zone it would be so much better. Or build more of a barrier around the seats.

Disappointing vegan burgers

Nice owner, speaks little English, misunderstood my order, but I got the wrong order for free, nice place, convincing vegan Interieur, but with these burgers you cannot convince people for vegan food. Every burger made by myself tasted way better. All burgers were kind of dry and the chickpeas variant seemed to taste raw. Other guests left (as I did) a few ingredients on the plate (mostly the bun or the patty). My wife ordered pasta of the day. This was okay, but I also can make better vegan pasta myself. The wine was also nothing special (white and red one)

Pros: Nice ambient , Kind owner

Cons: Pricy, Dry , Bad vegan experience

Soggy cold fries and average burger

I wanted to like this place more as it was all vegan. The fries were soggy and cold. The burger was a stodgy patty, the menu promise of mixed veggies, but it was more a heavy mix of flour (or something like that) and a few veggies mashed in, served on a bun with mayo a few bits of lettuce and tomato.

I was hoping for something better.

Nice place

Food was great and staff friendly. I’ve tried the gnocchis and tiramisu. If it’s sunny enough you should definitely enjoy the terrace!

Never again :-(

I hate writing a bad reviews, but this place was a nightmare. First, we were told that vegan hot-dog comes with fries, but when I checked the bill and extra charge for chips was added. Then I realized the hot-dog I ordered came in a burger bun (not in a long dog bun like the image on the menu indicated) and the sausage was cut in half (what?!?!?!?). When I politely let them know it’s not what I ordered and expected to get, they stopped speaking English and spoke Italian back (rude!)

I wanted to get my money back and order Tiramisu instead, and they said they won’t sell it to me. I could not believe this place! Shocking!

Cons: Rude service , Unprofessional

Healthy for Your Body and Wallet

I liked this place because it was healthy and a good value. Probably the cheapest veg place in Syracuse. Main courses are mostly variations of veggie burgers and salads. There is also a special menu that changes daily. The ingredients seem to be handmade whole food ingredients. For example, veggie burgers made from spinach, lentils, beets, or mixed veggies. You can order organic beer or natural sodas made from fruits, but you can't order a Coke or Pepsi, which I consider a good thing. I'd eat there again. There are two things difficult to do on vacation: eat healthy and not spend an arm and a leg, but this place you can achieve both.

Pros: Affordable, Healthy, Free wifi

Cons: Inside was too hot, so ate outdoors

Delicious Tiramisu

Nice little vegan restaurant. Had the burger menu with fries, a little salad and a fresh juice. The burger was good, but definitely not the best vegan burger I ever had. Still 4 stars because of the Tiramisu afterwards, it was super tasty!

Pros: good Tiramisu, cheap

Bad experience!

After we visited a few vegetarian or vegan restaurants in Sicilia I must say that this one was the worst. First we could only pick one cold drink because the other 9 or so were not available. And the food wasn‘t a good experience at all. We had the burger menu with one burger to choose, fries, salad and a fresh juice. Also the pasta with beetroot pesto. The pasta tasted like they totally forgot to put and ingredients like spices, herbs or even salt on it! Never tasted such bad pasta in a restaurant. The burger patty was floury, even though it was a vegetable patty. The salad was a mix of everything- but ok. And the fries weren’t just not tasty. The juice was the highlight as it seems to be truly fresh though. After all the good reviews a real disappointment.
