Most Vegan Options I've Ever Seen - Edit

Regrettably we only went here after lunch for a cake. Their menu is huge, so many options from burgers, pasta, pizza, hotdogs, salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups, and of course lots of cakes. The cakes we ordered were very good, and they do have boxes so you can take them away.

Pros: So many options!

Choice and charm! - Edit

On my recent trip to Firenze I visited Universo Vegano four times, three times for a sit-down meal and once for a takeaway. They have a great range of sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and pasta dishes. The place was very clean inside, though it's location in a picturesque square meant we sat outside each time we dined there. They had a good meal deal where you could add a delicious cake or a side dish to your meal for a reduced rate. The staff were very helpful and friendly each time I went, and could explain everything in good English. The value for money was very good, especially in Firenze where some things were quite expensive. My vebab pizza had a huge amount of vebab on top of it. If I'm lucky enough to visit Firenze again, this will be my first food stop.

Pros: great choice of food, excellent value for money, friendly and helpful staff

Great food - Edit

I really loved the veghizza carciofi e olive. I also had this little fruit "cake" (can't remember the name) which was super delicious. Totally recommend you going there if you ever visit Florence 💘

not everything recomendable - Edit

I didn't have a good experience at this restaurant. Went there around 6pm and they said half of the menu was already run out of. So we had very limited choices. The food we finally ordered (pasta and meat dish see photos) was awful. very bad quality and not fresh. I think the best opinions here are sandwiches and burger, not the hearty dishes

Vegan heaven in Firenze - Edit

This Italian chain offers really an amazing vegan choice. From croissants to pizza, burgers, lasagna, sandwiches, pastries, you should find what you want, including to drink. We came and tried the croissants, the lasagna and one pizza and we liked everything. Portions and quality are fair regarding the prices. The place is brand new and pleasant, with tables outside. The staff is friendly and efficient so we did not wait very long. The place is also open continuously which make it a good choice for a quick bite or a breakfast. I would definitely try it again.

Pros: huge choice, good food, affordable, pleasant place, friendly staff

delicious - Edit

so good. amazing burgers but also does not fast food, food. rice, pasta, and soy/wheat faux meat that you woukd swear is meat. my burger was very decadent but I went there for Christmas lunch so why not!? desserts are amazingly delicious and so many to choose from. They have multiple locations so I can't wait to try everything else when I go to rome and Milan!!!

Great Food! - Edit

I visited Universo Vegano in Rome last year and loved it so was pleased there is one in Florence too. I visited 3 times this holiday. Every time it was great. I had the Vebab, Marine wrap and the Ocean Taste. All were very yummy, especially the Vebab. The desserts are great too, although very sweet and a bit too much for one person to eat alone, probably best to share one. I had several fresh juices too, which were amazing.

The staff were really lovely and friendly. The menu is in English and Italian which was helpful for us. Staff spoke good English too, helpful seeing as my Italian is terrible. There aren't too many seats though and it was busy every time we went. We still managed to find a place to sit though.

I will definitely go to Universo Vegano when I am in Italy again!

Pros: Excellent food, well priced, Lovely staff, Menu in English and Italian

Cons: Might not always get a seat when very busy.

incredible choices! - Edit

A hugely comprehensive menu with burgers, wraps, sandwiches, pasta, desserts, anything you could want! The burgers are huge and a very filling meal, many meat substitutes available. The bombe Alaska dessert is incredible, couldn't tell it was vegan. Staff incredibly friendly and beautiful English, so worth it.

Friendly staff, tasty Italian fast-food vegan alternatives - Edit

Amazing staff! Very friendly and helpful, created a welcoming atmosphere:)) And although the food served here is probably not the healthiest... it is a definitely creative and tasty Italian bistro with fat lasagne, pizzas and sandwiches! However, I would have liked it better if the dishes I had - tuna salad and vegetable soup ("healthier" choises of mine) contained little less fat, but as for the lasagne - I definitely didn't mind the extra cheese it had on! Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Pros: Wonderful staff!, Free Wi-Fi, Creative and tasty alternatives for the typical It

Cons: some dishes (salads and some desserts) little too

Love it! - Edit

We went to UV in Rome and were very excited to come again.
The actual restaurant here was much nicer than in Rome, and it had a toilet!
Unfortunately they had no pizzas, and when we ordered something else the guy made mum something wrong. He was very sweet about it though. When the right one came they were SO delicious.
He gave us 2 lil chocolate truffles to say sorry and I got 2 lil cookies for me, both so yummy.
And so cheap!! 2 sandwiches, 4 lil choc things, water and a beer was only 17 euros. Cheapest meal all holiday!

Pros: Delicious Food, Nice atmosphere, Cheap

Cons: No pizzas, Got order wrong

Nice food and friendly staff - Edit

I had lunch at Universo Vegano yesterday with my gf. We were welcomed by a very friendly waiter, we ate a great focaccina and a good spinach burger, accompanied by some soyballs with vegan mayonnaise. Then we had the Vegamisu (vegan tiramisu) and it was really tasty! All cakes are served as "mini-cakes", nice to see and also very good (actually, we also bought a mini-sachertorte to take away and it also tasted great!).

If you are in a rush it may not be your cup of tea, as they cook everything you order (panini, pasta, risotto...) only after you have placed the order (nothing is prepared + heated in the microwave). In any case, it's only a matter of waiting a few minutes!

Pros: Friendly staff, Good food, Amazing mini-cakes
