Very charming

The all-vegan menu is small. So are the portion sizes. But so are the prices!
I had vegan pasta carbonara for €10 which didn't really taste like the not-vegan carbonara I remember but it was delicious in its own way 😊 but half of a starter would have been necessary to get completely full.
The outside area is charmingly designed and the owner is really nice. I got the feeling he is really into his vegan project there.
Oh, and there are gluten-free options, too!

Ottima location, cibo perfetto

Siamo andati alle 14.30, ci siamo seduti all’esterno e abbiamo provato: panelle con salsa e limone, piatto unico (piatto mix di caponata, melanzane, falafel, cous cous, insalata, spinaci e gallette di riso, con salsa) e cannolo. Ci siamo trovati molto bene, personale preparato, tutto fresco e impeccabile.

Nice place, but…

The food isn’t anything special, it’s more like an answer to the question “what can you eat as a vegan?”.

Very basic stuff you can cook at home with the same quality. It’s okay for the price. It seems to be prepared in the morning and warmed up for orders, unfortunately not always completely warmed. Really seems like there is no cook, but just one person with good intentions running the whole thing, which is quite impressive.

The place lives from its heart-warming atmosphere, with Sea-Shepherd merch and so on.

Tasty Burgers

Pleasant dining experience in Ortigia. We had the Hemp burger and lentil burger, both very tasty and different. Note the burgers dont come with fries as standard (order these as extras) Pasta dishes looked and smelled really good (At the table next to us)

Pros: Burgers are great value , Location top notch

Cons: Wine seemed a little pricey at E7 for small glass

Friendly staff, odd food

I really don't want to be mean, since the staff was very friendly, prices were good and the restaurant is nice, but the food was just... very odd. We had falafel that felt as if they were not fried but just raw chickpeas, a chickpea burger whose patty was like chickpea mash and felt like it never saw a grill or a pan. A tiramisu that was inedible and sour as if it was spoiled... i don't know if we just got there on a bad day, where the stove was out of order... but at least for us, this was really unusual.

Pros: Nice staff, Nice place

Cons: Odd food that felt raw

Salve, ha scelto sul menù Terraw per cui come dice il nome cibo crudista, per cui non capiamo il perché lamentarsi di cibo crudista se è una propria scelta, la prox volta le consigliamo di guardare menù del giorno della lavagna e troverà Vegan normale. Grazie.

Vegan options

I tried the piatto unico formula. I got roasted peppers and aubergines, caponata, hummus, 2 falafels, 3 slices of bread and a little salad, I also tried the vegan chickpeas hamburger and it was delicious
Staff is friendly and English speaker, location is nice and informal
Portions are really generous

A real dissapointment

We were excited about visiting this restaurant, as one of only 2 vegan places in Ortigia, unfortunately the food was very disappointing.
We ordered the Hummus and caponata to start. The hummus was nice, the caponata was ok though it could have used a touch more seasoning. The bread that came with was nice however and warmed up for service which was a nice touch.

For mains we had the carbonara and pasta a la norma. The carbonara was very odd. The sauce was green, stodgy, and tasted of fish. It was weirdly spicy also. The Seitan sausage was very very salty. My partner took a couple bites and then left the rest, it really was unpleasant.
The pasta a la norma was nice, though under seasoned, the dish was about 80% sauce and veggies, but what put me off of it was that every so often i would get a bit of aubergine or pepper that tasted off (like mouldy veg taste). I ended up leaving most of the sauce.

We sent back the mains and asked for the bill. Maybe we shouldn’t have expected them to take the mains off of the bill, but as we basically left full plates and told the server that we didn’t like the food, we expected something at least. The server (who was very friendly) told us we could talk to the boss/chef if we had a problem, so we did. Mistake. There was an obvious language barrier so it was hard to get across what we meant but essentially the chef told us ‘there’s nothing wrong with the food. If you don’t like it you are the problem.’ As a chef myself i understand the sentiment but the food unfortunately just wasn’t good quality.

We left feeling sour and unsatisfied.
We popped into a local omni restaurant nearby, ordered spaghetti aglio, olio e pepperoncino, and spaghetti pomodorro and it was wonderful!

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Food quality wasn’t great, Carbonara. Strange, not enjoyable

very delicious

We had a very nice lunch in this little restaurant. Gnocchi and Pita with Falafel were awesome, but the Tiramisu was my Highlight! The price was fair and the staff very nice.

Pros: fair price, very tasty food, nice staff

Nice burgers

Vegan burgers were very yummy (you could tell the patties were homemade). Nice potatoes and panelle too (more like frittelle).

Only minus is that, during such a hot day, the restaurant didn't place any fan outdoors.

Updated from previous review on 2022-08-17

Pros: Nice burgers with fresh ingredients, Quiet area, Fairly cheap

Cons: No fans outdoors

Porzioni abbondanti, ricette semplici ma saporite

Il personale e' stato molto accogliente e ci ha fatto sedere mezz'ora prima dell'orario di apertura (18:00).

Tutti i piatti sono vegani. Ho ordinato un tris di bruschette con pesti siciliani, di cui una con pomodorini freschi e una con pate' di peperoni, una piccola porzione di caponata e un piatto di salumi veg con insalata di pomodori e zucchine e falafel (il piatto conteneva originariamente la burrata vegetale ma purtroppo non era disponibile). Ottima la varieta' e sapore dei salumi, porzione abbondante. Buonissime anche le bruschette, ottima la caponata (molto leggera).

Il mio ragazzo ha ordinato hummus come antipasto e una carbonara. Mentre l'hummus ci e' piaciuto molto (dal gusto leggero e speziato, si sentiva tanto il limone) purtroppo la carbonara veg ci e' sembrata troppo light e insipida, peccato. Avrei preferito un po' piu' di sale Kala Namak per il sapore dell'uovo e un tofu affumicato dal gusto piu' deciso.

In generale e' stata una bella esperienza e i piatti ci sono piaciuti, quindi ve lo consigliamo. I prezzi sono veramente vantaggiosi per qualita' e quantita' dei piatti. Ci siamo seduti nella verandina all'esterno.

Pros: Porzioni abbondanti e piatti saporiti, Tagliere di affettati veg, piatto originale, Disponibilita' del personale

Cons: Carbonara poco saporita
