Vegan options clearly labeled - Edit
Tried the Sicilian meatballs which were made from chickpeas and aubergine, they were quite “wet” and less like meatballs but tasty and had these with the roast potatoes which were nice.

Plenty vegan options - Edit
Their menu card has markings on which dishes are vegan. Not super much to choose from, but not disappointing as a restaurant with vegan options. I think there were two or three options for starters, first and second course each, so much better than I other places that has maybe one or two items for vegans on the menu.

Tasty meal with clearly marked vegan options - Edit
Stumbled upon this after looking for another restaurant and the menu at Rosmarino was more appealing.
Read moreThe menu had both starters, firsts and mains with vegan options and I opted for the Sicilians balls with roasted potatos paired with a glass of red wine. The wine menu was marked with a few vegan options.

Overhyped for nothing - Edit
Went there one night in Taormina because of the raving reviews and ended up quite disappointed. We were seated despite having no reservation. However, when we received the bread and grissini for the table I simply asked whether it was vegan too. Quite a standard question that is too be not that unexpected at a restaurant with labeled vegan options on the menu. Had to talk to three people to get my answer. This already set the tone for the night. Bean soup as a starter was good, waiting times for the courses was good too. However, the staff didn’t pay that much attention to us. Pasta with garlic and tomatoes was underwhelming, the truffle in it was nowhere to be smelled and tasted. The orange fairy cake as a dessert and the Sicilian balls were the best dishes. Would not recommend, would not go again.
Read morePros: Seated without reservation, Clearly labeled vegan options, Location
Cons: Not very attentive and knowledgeable staff, Food not that great, Not that many vegan options after all

Tasty food, few options but swarm of wasps outside - Edit
The l’aglio spaghetti was so delicious. Liked the Sicilian vegetable balls in tomato sauce also. Orange fairy cake with whipped cream was a delight! Bean soup was just ok but nice to get protein after a week of carbs. Will visit again.

Very good but too expensive - Edit
The food is delicious, but it is just too expensive. They have clearly labeled vegan dishes, but not many choices. Staff was very nice though.

Wanted to love it…. - Edit
So looking forward to this restaurant as it has good reviews but sadly disappointed. It has clearly marked vegan/veggie options on the menu. One on each course in fact. It was all ok, nothing special. This was our 6th evening eating out in Taormina so have got used to the prices 🙄😂 and this is the one we have least liked and the most expensive. The price for what we had was ridiculous.
Read moreGo to restaurant next door instead it’s lovely ☺️
Pros: Vegan/veggie clearly marked , Vegan/veggie options on each course , The orange fairy cake desert was the best course
Cons: Atmosphere was weird. , Much too expensive for a bowl of pasta!

Very delicious food, clearly marked as vegan on the menu - Edit
The food at Rosmarino was divine! The dishes were marked as vegan what I always appreciate and even the wine list states which wines are vegan.
Read moreThe food is on the fancier side and the staff was sooo nice.
I usually don’t eat dessert but the orange cake with vegan cream was sooo lovely.
Non vegan husband enjoyed his meals too.
The best restaurant we’ve eaten at in Taormina so far, I will most definitely come back for more.
Pros: Divine food , Clearly marked as vegan, even wine list , Staff were sooo lovely

Upscale dinner with interesting vegan options - Edit
This place was very beautiful and the service was amazing. It is definitely more of a fancy dinner experience. There are not many vegan options, but the vegan dishes are absolutely delicious. We had a bean soup appetizer, the aglio olio truffle pasta, and the vegan orange fairy cake. Everything was fantastic.

An oasis for a traveling vegan - Edit
Delicious meal. We had the spaghetti with mushrooms and flaked truffle, plus a side of roast potatoes and a salad of fennel, oranges, and capers. Followed that up with a dessert of orange fairy cake, and a lemon sorbet with strawberries.

Great well marked vegan options including wine - Edit
There are no fully vegan restaurants in the area but Rosmarino was thoughtful, considerate, and inventive in welcoming vegans. Can get a meal antipasto to dessert fully vegan, and not just the usual no-cheese options.

Fabulous 3 course vegan loveliness! - Edit
Perfect spot - right opposite a beautiful park. Amazing food. The white bean and tomato rolls with vegan mayo were awesome. The orange cake with vegan cream for dessert was my favourite course. This restaurant is not to be missed.

A delight! - Edit
A delight for vegans and vegetarians! We loved our truffle pasta and the fennel and orange salad. I was also pleasantly surprised by my drink (green tangerine soda) The restaurant is tastefully decorated, service is efficient, and vegetarian and vegan options are clearly labelled. We didn't try their desserts as we thought it would be cheaper to go get a gelato elsewhere. But it's a must try in Taormina, before/after a stroll in the nearby gardens.
Read moreThe only slight disappointment was the bread which could have been better (this is the Frenchie in me talking!) And they do serve meat, including veal...

The vegan options are a feast - Edit
Even if unfortunately the place is not vegan, they do offer delicious vegan options, and most of all I liked the diversity in one menu item. Smaller bite size of vegan goodness but this way you could try so many different things, just in one plate.

Great option! - Edit
The place is very beautiful. They have a clearly stated vegan option for each course (antipasto, primo, secondo and dessert), plus some side dishes. I got the vegan board and a salad on the side. I wanted to try the pasta dish but unfortunately I’m broke✌🏻. Anyway, it was all truly delicious and the staff was very kind and welcoming. It says 3$ here on happy cow but the prices are really not that high compared to the average in Taormina. Would very much recommend!

Disappointment - Edit
Big disappointment. Smashed potatoes with fried egg and old mushroom for 18 euros. The service is rude, next to garbage cans, flies fly on the face and food. My partner ordered vegan spaghetti, was also average. Don't waste your money, I don't know who left the previous reviews. Seriously

Best aglio e olio with mushrooms and truffle - Edit
This was a lovely spot right next to the public gardens. We ordered the spaghetti aglio E olio with mushrooms and truffle. Simple yet one of the best dishes we had.
Read moreThe vegan sharing board was good too. the mini lasagne on it was the best. The rest of it was a little bland but overall nice to try the street food bits on a platter!

Tasty food and good service - Edit
I had high expectations when I came because of the review on Happy Cow. The food was tasty and the service was good. I expected more options on the menu and the side dishes were good, but not spectacular. However, the vegan starter and the spaghetti was very good and we enjoyed a nice evening.
