Great staff, tasty fa(s)t-food vegan alternatives

Had the opportunity to check out Universo Vegano both in Rome and in Florence. Hopefully with time in Rome they will enlarge the menu and make it as wide as in Florence. Other than that, had a nice experience of fast-food dining in Rome!

Pros: creative vegan fast-food alternatives, free Wi-fi, in the city centre

Cons: don't serve soups during the summer, don't have a WC

Amazing Lunch

The cafe/restaurant whatever is pretty small with only a couple tables but it was fine. Very trendy inside, but no toilet.

The menu was MASSIVE and it was ALL vegan!! I was so damn happy. Most burgers/sandwich/wraps were like 5-$7 so pretty affordable! Especially as they are massive sandwiches and SO DELICIOUS. I got a tofu spinach burger with vegan mayo and cheese and it was so good! We also ordered potato croquettes but we think he brought out soy chicken croquettes and weren't that nice.

Then for a dessert mum was full but I wanted to get as much as I could in me haha so I got this chocolate nut pie thing and it was so yummy too! very pleased.

We visited three days in a row because the friendly atmosphere and huge choice of inexpensive vegan food made this by far the best place we went to on our trip to Rome

Pros: Vegan junk food - they also do salad and soup , inexpensive , friendly

Cons: none

Amazing, cheap, well placed

The food is really really good, I don't know why people posted some bad comments, I never ate such good vegans sandwiches.
I tried the spicy sandwich 2 times and the vebab ("vegan kebab"), it was so delicious...
There even are desserts : vegan tiramisus, fruit tartlets, chocolate cakes, the last time I went there was a little plate with pieces of chocolate cake so we can try it.

Everything is absurdly cheap, I mean for a vegan take-away : 5/6 euros for a classic sandwich, so it's tempting to also take a dessert, but if you don't wanna spend more, one sandwich is big enaugh to cut your hunger.

This was my favorite vegan place in Roma.

The indoor isn't that great, it's a bit small, but at least they have air conditionning !

Pros: Really good food, various meals, vegan desserts, a

Cons: It's a little small inside.

Failure

The owner (or staff) was rude with no intention of providing good service. "I don't speak Spanish" he said when I told him that I don't speak Italian (but I am Greek!) because I asked what was lupine fillet and he started to talk in Italian.
The quality of the tomato was awful despite the fact that it's its season.
Such a pitty to walk that much under the heat in order to end up here.

Fantastic selection - fast food items and traditional pasta dishes, risotto, etc. Dessert to die for. Highly recommend & enjoyed by all my non-veg family members as well!

Pros: Great selection , Perfect portion sizes, Awesome desserts

Cons: Kind of a small location , Don't always have every menu item available

One of the best vegan restaurants we've been to!

Me and my partner in crime went here and had a blast! The food was magnificent and tasty. We highly recommend the big smoky burger if hungry thus it is the biggest burger we guys ever seen. Go here!

Pros: Good price / quality ratio, Great variety of meal, Fast service

Cons: Don't speak english very well, Smell oil , Not very healthy

Nice spot for freshly prepared vegan fast food

Nice little vegan fast food place. Staff were friendly if a little hectic. Its pretty small - only a few tables and stools inside. We had a vegan frittata and a panini which were both large and freshly prepared. We shared a chocolate pudding for afters which was really nice. Went back the next day for two take away panini.

Pros: extensive fast food menu - all vegan, friendly staff

Cons: its very small , can be tricky to find

Good burgers and fantastic desserts

Tried two of their burgers and a wrap. Each one was good and very filling. Fresh veggies and very big sized burgers. Overall very good. I would for sure recommend eating a meal here. What really brings this place to the top though is the FANTASTIC vegan tiramisu and cheesecake. I have not eaten better dessert anywhere in my whole life. Excellent. Very friendly staff and English speaking as well. Get's busy at times in the small locale but we got places to sit at every visit. Everything is well worth it's price.

Pros: Great dessert, Good burgers, Very friendly staff

Cons: Small locale, No bathroom

Great vegan fast food

The food came quickly and was amazing. The "Big Smoky" burger is to die for! It was a much needed meal after a long day of walking round the city. The potato croquettes were very nice too. The selection of beer in the fridge helped too!

Pros: great location, quick service, very filling

Amazing place!

I stopped by this place after walking a lot around the city. It passed lunch hour but I had a normal meal anyway. I ate an amazing sandwich and the best cheesecake ever. Usually cheesecake tastes strongly like soy but this one had an amazing flavor, I actually doubt it was vegan! I recommend this place!

Remarkable

Just amazing food! I had the Vegan chop sandwich, and despite usually hating mayonnaise (vegan obv) I thought I'd try anyway. I'm glad I did! It tasted like an egg sandwich with fresh tomatoes and lettuce and tofu and it was just fantastic. The girl working there was very friendly too :) Must visit if you're in Rome.

Pros: Everything is vegan!, Tasty food, Good prices

Cons: Location is a bit out of the way of the metro, but

Great food-on-the-go

This place is great if you want to grab something while you're out and about! However might not be ideal if you want to sit down and eat as there is limited seating. We did manage to get a seat but had to share a table with two people we didn't know. This was fine with us as it's always nice to meet other vegans! The food was delicious, not cheap but not particularly expensive either. We also had organic soft drinks which personally I didn't really like but it could have just been the flavour (ginger). The desserts were ...interesting. Not sure you might have to try those for yourself! Overall I'm really glad we went here as the food was yummy and just what we needed. Would definitely recommend dropping in for a bite :)

Good fast food

We went at a time where it was super super crowded! So it took probably 30min just waiting to order. We had a vegan burger for about €8 (i think it was called smokey or something like that?), which was very very tasty! Also had the vegan chop (good as well), the vegamisu (tasty) and a vegan cheesecake (nothing special). The burger was my favourite. Overall good fast food, really friendly staff.

Pros: Tasty burger, Friendly staff, Nice vegan tiramisu

Good fast food

It is a very small place in Rome, a little bit difficult to find. The stuff was not that friendly and it was not nice to sit there, but it was cheap and delicious. I like the Universo Vegano in Florence so much better, but if you want something vegan to eat it is the perfect place to go.

Pros: cheap, variety

Cons: unhealthy, unfriendly , seating
