amazing

The place is really small and in summer is very overheated... we quite suffered eating there this summer (because it was extremely hot) but we wanted to try this Universo Vegano and reality didn't disappoint expectation. You have a lot of choice, you can have hamburgers of every kind (and everyone is fantastic!), first dishes, side and many desserts too. The price is not high at all, you just have to be ok to sit with a small table in a small "fast food".

fast food and tasty!

Really nice little place. The staff were very friendly and there was an English menu to help with my limited Italian! We both had toasted sandwiches with different fillings and some cold drinks. Delicious! And good value.

Pros: good value, friendly service, loads of choices

Cons: limited seating

Good stuff

We were excited to get here. It's a nice clean little place with some seating, though we carried out our food. We got a "Rustico" burger on a grain bun. It was amazing, the vegan cheese was fantastic! There are three other burger flavors: mushroom, spinach and verdure. Also got the seitan-tuna sub which was great. The potatoes were good. And the little soya polpetti were awesome!! (eu3 each). It was a lot of food for the money. And everything was great. The little tiramisu was good, but sort of small for the money. Yes, it's 100% vegan!

tasty burger and dessert

I bought both the vegan burger and the Vegamisu. The burger was large and tasty and reasonably priced. I also had the vegamisu which was nice as well. The service was friendly and even though I forgot to tick "take away" he asked us if we wanted it to take away.

Pros: cheap, options

Excellent and vegan

Freshly cooked vegan panini, so you might have to wait a while but it's absolutely worth it. The guy that runs the place is absolutely friendly and helpful. Small and simple place but I like it that way. Good location in the centre of the city but away from the crowds of tourists.

Pros: Excellent Food, Staff, Location

Don't miss it

Small easy to eat cafe style. Does take away. Mainly panini, but all vegan. Wanted to eat the entire menu it was so delicious even for us vegetarians and also you could take carnivores there as well. Places like this make me want to go the full step to vegan ism. The staff were friendly even though knew no English, it was cooked fresh and the dressing was a treat, very well priced and the decor is casual but pleasant. There are a few in Italy so look for them

Pros: Food, Price, Staff

Cons: Not enough locations

Unusual but nice

A very simple place but really nice vegan fast food. The format is unusual in that you are meant to fill out a bit of paper ticking which of large number of vegan burgers / hot dogs etc you want (my tip: the vegan wurstel), whether you want croquettes, salad etc and hand it in. Just a few side benches to sit at, so you tend to just eat and go, but nicer food than most standard vegan imbiss-type places you find - and of course nice knowing that everything's vegan. Manager is friendly. Note that the opening hours seem to be a bit flexible round the edges - it wasn't open at the time it was said to be when we first went round - we thought it had closed, but it was worth going back to check - and we then went back more than once. Definitely not the poshest place to eat vegan in Verona but probably the one I left feeling warmest towards.

Pros: Fun, 100% vegan, Tasty

Cons: Erratic opening hours, A little out of town (not much)

Anytime again

Sweet little take-away place. Delicious burgers. Wraps were a little salty. Chocolate wrap was still excellent.

Pros: Great selection, Combos, Inexpensive

Awesome vegan spot in Verona

We went to Verona expecting to have very few food options but were so happy to find Universo as well as a few other great food spots. They offer a variety of all vegan sandwiches and wraps, as well as about 5 gluten-free options. There are mock meats and vegan cheeses and mayo, and everything is super tasty. There is also a dessert wrap with chocolate and almonds that is tasty. Everything is pressed on a hot grill and you can add sides of potatoes and some kind of croquettes. Everything we had was very good! Just note that they are open 10:30 - 2:30 for lunch and 7:30 - 10:30 for dinner. Closed mid-day!

Pros: All vegan, Gluten free options, Great food

Cons: Slow service when busy, Closed mid-day
