A wonderful experience

Amazing to have incredible vegan Italian food in the heart of the beautiful island of Ortigia. The cocktails were incredible, the starters and pasta were exceptional, the setting on a warm September evening idyllic, and the welcome and service were charming. A truly memorable experience in every way.

Pros: The cocktails, Everything we ate, The setting

Cons: There were no cons

Unfassbares veganes Restaurant

Es war alles super lecker und unfassbar kreativ und alles in eigene Herstellung. Wir waren mehrmals bei unserem Aufenthalt dort zum Lunch und Dinner. Auch der Service und vor allem die Location waren besonders. Den Ramen habe ich gleich 2 mal bestellt - probiert den unbedingt!!!

Delicious pasta but not a great experience

Food first: 

Pasta dishes were great (I think they do this best), esp the carbonara.

The sushi was ok (but so tiny) and the cheese plate was pretty but the blandest I've ever tasted other than the smoked one. The others lacked flavor and all tasted similar. The pistachio cannoli dessert was yum. 

The experience: disappointing. Our pasta order was forgotten. We ordered at 7.20pm and after patiently waiting for more than an hour (and no wait staff coming over to the table to even ask us if we wanted a drink), I inquired about it. 20 minutes later, still nothing. The table next to us who arrived when we did had gone and other tables that sat down after us were eating the carbonara I had ordered probably while they were out somewhere else having aperitivos. 

At this point, it was nearing 9pm and I went to speak to another staff member. At first, they suggested that I just pay for the starters already eaten or get the food take away (!), and couldn't tell me why I hadn't received my meal. The staff member who originally took our order was rude. I was offended. I explained that I had traveled to Syracuse just for this meal, waited hours for them to open, and had an hour long drive left to get to Catania. I also told them I came to support their vegan business and at 9pm, where else was I going to find decent vegan options? 

We finally got our food and what seemed like a genuine apology and they knocked the final bill down which we appreciated. We did notice other tables waiting a long time for their meals too, but just not as long as us.

Good food, but you shouldn't leave a dining experience feeling like crap.

I am sorry about this experience! I don’t work for MOON but I do collaborate with them on my vegan food tour. They are typically so wonderful and patient. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your experiences here in Sicily! 🌱💚

Amazing authentic vegan Sicilian food

The food was amazing. I loved all the cheeses they had. The staff was also very friendly. I went with my non vegan friends and they were blown away by how good the food was.

Ottimo locale con molte alternative

Siamo stati a mangiare ieri sera al Moon io vegano e 3 amici non vegani. Siamo stati tutti e 4 molto soddisfatti sia dalla varia scelta del menù che dai piatti. Tempura ottima e leggera, sushi molto particolare e carbonara cremosissima. Prezzi onesti visto il tipo di ristorante. Servizio gentile e preparato, ci hanno anche svelato il trucco per l'ottima salsa della carbonara che senz'altro proverò a replicare.

Pros: Servizio cortese e preparato, Vasta scelta di piatti diversi, Qualità dei piatti

Lovely gourmet place in the heart of Siracusa‘s old town

The restaurant serves Italian classic dishes 100% plant-based. Beautiful location in the centre of Ortygia (old-town of Siracusa). Great wine menu, which perfectly matches the tasty food.

Sempre una garanzia!

Veniamo qui a cena da anni, ogni volta che ci troviamo ad Ortigia, ed è sempre una festa per gli occhi e per il palato.
I primi sono secondo me il piatto forte del menù, e anche la degustazione di formaggi fatti in casa è ottima.
Dolci veramente deliziosi!
Il personale è gentilissimo e il ristorante davvero bello, sia dentro che nel plateatico esterno.
Non posso che raccomandarlo caldamente!

Beautiful vegan restaurant and cocktail bar

Rare to find vegan Italian food that is high standard whilst also being in a cool beautiful building with an outside seating area. Good prices. Best to ignore the daft concept hype eg - ‘moon’ stands for move Ortigia out of the ordinary ! Busy bustling place - great staff, nothing to not like. Don’t need to deliberate on this. Also menu range covers most tastes from Italian classics veganised to pretend cheese and meat (which isn’t for me)

Pros: Beautiful place with great cocktails , Menu - great and original , Music

Cons: Heavy on the ‘cool’

THE reason to go to Siracusa

Extraordinary! Extraordinarily innovative kitchen, the best Carbonara you‘ll ever taste. Friendly and beautiful staff, beautiful and tasty drinks, tasty and amazing food. This is a reason to go to Sicily. I won’t believe anyone trying to tell me that the non-vegan Cannolo can do better than the MOON-ones! Go there! I would love to have such a place in Vienna.

Vegan options but not exceptional food

The setting was nice, there were enough vegan options to choose from, but the food was not that exceptional (except for the desserts!) and the staff played loud music that didn't really enhance the otherwise nice atmosphere. Not sure I'd go there again, or if so just for one course and the dessert...

Breathtaking!

Went here when visiting Sicily with my Italian in-laws. This was their first vegetarian/vegan experience, and I wanted to show them that you can eat fantastic healthful food and it be plant based. We were not disappointed! This place should be a pilgrimage for any travelling Plant lovers in Sicily ❤️

Pros: Vegan cheese made in house, Amazing cocktails, Pasta dishes to die for

Cons: That it's not in London 🥲

Great spot for some fantastic food

Really nice setting inside or outside, serving up great food with creative options and fantastic service. Tried the cheese board, mozzarella starter, carbonara, tempeh spaghetti, cannoli, tiramisu, burger and cheesecake. I wouldn't recommend the burger and was slightly disappointed being that it wasn't anything special, definitely should have chosen a more creative option. Every dish was tasty, as were the drinks. It's not cheap, but for something a bit nicer it's perfect.

Pros: Creative dishes, Service, Options

Wonderful food

I went to Moon beginning of this month. What a great food experience. The food was out of this world and the tiramisu was just to die for! The staff was nice and friendly. If I ever go back to Siracusa, Moon will be my first port of call for sure.

Best food in Siracua! (And one of the best vegan restaurants I've ever been to)

We've been coming to Moon for years now when we go back to visit my wife's family and the food is amazing - it even managed to win over my meat obsessed dad on our last visit. Great venue, lovely staff, amazing vegan cheeses and really varied menu. 100% recommended for anyone (vegan or not) to visit.

A must taste!

All food was delicious!

I had dinner on MOON on a monday night with my (non-vegan) family. Everyone had a great time!

The portions are not very big - which was actually a good thing, we finally managed to order secondi piatti. And trust me, you’ll want to try everything on the menu! The Carbonara was specially good!

I’d love to eat there another time in the future 🌱✌️

Visit this place!

We ordered the 'Carbonara del Moon' and 'Un Tuffo del Palermo'. The latter was great but the carbonara was out of this world. Honestly a highlight of our visit to Siracusa.

Amazing vegan food

Moon has a great offering of both Italian and international food. We had a wonderful burrata and two tasty dishes of pasta. We couldn't leave without trying out their cannoli, they were just from another planet.

Amazing place!

We stumbled upon the restaurant by accident and we loved it! The vegan cheese is amazing as well as the tempe with pistacchio! Nice people and nice place. A bit expensive but worth it!
