Vegan pasta - Edit
Moon was closed so we checked if this place was open and it was. The food options were limited. We had two pasta dishes and they were ok.

A real dissapointment - Edit
We were excited about visiting this restaurant, as one of only 2 vegan places in Ortigia, unfortunately the food was very disappointing.
Read moreWe 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 - Edit
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.

Nice burgers - Edit
Vegan burgers were very yummy (you could tell the patties were homemade). Nice potatoes and panelle too (more like frittelle).
Read moreOnly minus is that, during such a hot day, the restaurant didn't place any fan outdoors.

Porzioni abbondanti, ricette semplici ma saporite - Edit
Il personale e' stato molto accogliente e ci ha fatto sedere mezz'ora prima dell'orario di apertura (18:00).
Read moreTutti 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

Really good starters - Edit
My family and me had a nice lunch. The food was tasty, but not really special in spices. The starters were fantastic (Caponata and Bruschette), the mains ok.

Good - Edit
I've been there a couple of times, good burgers at a good price. They offer a special sauce with potatoes wedgefrench fries. I recommend to go there early to find all the options available. At the end it was a good experience, since SicilySiracusa isn't very vegan friendly.

Vegan, Organic casual dining - Edit
While my non-vegan friend has had the 5€ lentil burger & raved about it and my husband loved his crispy chickpea burger, I always have to try the more obscure menu items that range between 10-13€ 😂 What I’ve learned is that the owner / chef focuses on using seasonal ingredients which is awesome! The challenge is that what I order off the menu is never what I end up with. The cheese platter was delicious but really ended up being a medley of different flavored seitans. Delicious, yes but after living in a small village for a year, I really just wanted vegan cheese! My second visit was very similar. I ordered a dish that boasted creamy carrots and potatoes. Instead I got an amazing, colorful raw salad with a hearty & scrumptious lentil meat with gravy. The meal was incredible but do be prepared for anything! I love the peaceful messages throughout the cafe, organic produce, and his fresh fruit or veg juices. He sells vegan themed t-shirts and other items. The location is in a beautiful, quiet section of Ortigia. Don’t miss it!
Read morePros: Ingredients change seasonally, Inexpensive burgers, Organic produce
Cons: My meal rarely matches my order

Friendly, eco-centric, vegan place! - Edit
Nice vegan restaurant in Ortigia with appetizers, pasta, burgers, falefel, and a variety of other dishes. We had some really tasty things and some just-ok things, everything was healthy and the eco, 0-km focus was really nice. The person working each time we went was very friendly and helpful.
Read moreI had an incredible fresh juice that really hit the spot, don't miss that on a hot day. Some of the other dishes were short on strong flavours but pretty nicely done. The little terrace was nice. I was tending to a 4 star review but then after supper I had an incredible, thick, vegan hot-chocolate which bumped it up to a 5 :)
Pros: Eco-concious, Fresh juice, Friendly
Cons: Good be more flavours

Ok - Edit
Burger was dry and tasteless, fries ok. Nice protected seating outside (the last review is not longer up to date in this case). The owner is not the friendliest guy but it’s still an all vegan place what’s totally nice!

Vegan good food in old town Ortigia - Edit
Everything we had tasted good. Yellow burger is a bit dry. Main problem here is the seating. Small deli style inside, outside seating is next parking garage. Constant traffic and fumes mar the whole effect. If they could move to pedestrian zone it would be so much better. Or build more of a barrier around the seats.

Disappointing vegan burgers - Edit
Nice owner, speaks little English, misunderstood my order, but I got the wrong order for free, nice place, convincing vegan Interieur, but with these burgers you cannot convince people for vegan food. Every burger made by myself tasted way better. All burgers were kind of dry and the chickpeas variant seemed to taste raw. Other guests left (as I did) a few ingredients on the plate (mostly the bun or the patty). My wife ordered pasta of the day. This was okay, but I also can make better vegan pasta myself. The wine was also nothing special (white and red one)

Soggy cold fries and average burger - Edit
I wanted to like this place more as it was all vegan. The fries were soggy and cold. The burger was a stodgy patty, the menu promise of mixed veggies, but it was more a heavy mix of flour (or something like that) and a few veggies mashed in, served on a bun with mayo a few bits of lettuce and tomato.

Never again :-( - Edit
I hate writing a bad reviews, but this place was a nightmare. First, we were told that vegan hot-dog comes with fries, but when I checked the bill and extra charge for chips was added. Then I realized the hot-dog I ordered came in a burger bun (not in a long dog bun like the image on the menu indicated) and the sausage was cut in half (what?!?!?!?). When I politely let them know it’s not what I ordered and expected to get, they stopped speaking English and spoke Italian back (rude!)
Read moreI wanted to get my money back and order Tiramisu instead, and they said they won’t sell it to me. I could not believe this place! Shocking!
Cons: Rude service , Unprofessional

Healthy for Your Body and Wallet - Edit
I liked this place because it was healthy and a good value. Probably the cheapest veg place in Syracuse. Main courses are mostly variations of veggie burgers and salads. There is also a special menu that changes daily. The ingredients seem to be handmade whole food ingredients. For example, veggie burgers made from spinach, lentils, beets, or mixed veggies. You can order organic beer or natural sodas made from fruits, but you can't order a Coke or Pepsi, which I consider a good thing. I'd eat there again. There are two things difficult to do on vacation: eat healthy and not spend an arm and a leg, but this place you can achieve both.
Read morePros: Affordable, Healthy, Free wifi
Cons: Inside was too hot, so ate outdoors
