Loved this place

We visited three times as the scope for vegan food was quite low in Sorrento!

Everything we ate was great, we had the panini, pasta, pizza and sides on separate occasions. It’s all reasonably priced and the staff are super friendly and helpful!

Best vegan pizza in Sorrento!

Superb pizzas, panini and deserts all from dedicated vegan section of the menu. You won’t regret going here. We went three times in the two weeks in Sorrento…!

Love this place!

Awesome place especially if you get to sit upstairs in the rooftop garden area.

Few vegan options which is so good!

Vegan pizzas, and sides and I think they had pasta as well (can’t remember).

Some things aren’t labelled vegan like the broccoli or potatoes but you can ask to make sure.

Almost any pizzas can really be made vegan with the vegan ham and cheese they have too which is cool.

Pros: Not bad price, Few vegan options with ability to customise, Cute place and nice staff

Perfect for a difficult vegan

I have been vegan for years and have the worst vegan allergies (cashews and mushrooms)

The staff were aware of allergies and veganism and approachable. They listened to my concerns and made me feel safe and excited to eat!
My husband got a non vegan pizza which he liked and we got fried pizza marinara and gnocchi for me. PERFETTO for vegans and non vegans alike!

Best vegan Pizza in Sorrento - by far

I ordered the mother of dragons pizza and the vegan lemon cheese cake. The pizza could have been a bit more spicy, but they provided both chili flakes and a high quality chili oil. The cheese cake was really good, but the added batter bites were unfortunately a bit too burned for my taste.
The service was good and we felt we were seen even though the place was packed. All in all a very good place for pizza and drinks. Best pizza we have had in Sorrento.

Pros: The pizzas, The drinks, The dessert

Cons: A bit hot, The interior were a bit lacking, compared to food

Boas pizzas e pasta!

Teñen moitas opciones veganas e algunhas recentemente incorporadas, miña parexa comeu un plato de pasta e eu unha pizza “Mother of dragons” vegan moi rica e picante! Merece a pena se pasades por Sorrento!

Pros: La pizza, La atención , La rapidez

Lots of options

This place had heaps of options which was great, my partner had the gnocchi which I tried and was delicious however I had the vegan panini and it was either an impossible or beyond meat patty inside, unfortunately it wasn't cooked through at all and almost completely raw. It didn't taste good. I took the whole patty out after eating a few bites. Maybe I just selected wrong as the pizzas looked incredible and the gnocchi was great!

Pros: Gnocchi

Cons: Vegan Panini

So many vegan options

There was a line outside with lots of small parties or takeaway orders but a table of 4 was available so we managed to skip the queue. Nice, modern setting but wear insect repellent as there were a few mosquitoes at our table near the door.

So many vegan options that I didn’t know what to order! Ended up getting the lasagne which was delish (but I noticed at the end it had no aubergine which was sad).

If I go back again, I’ll get a pizza as these looked really good and huge! Definitely add this to your list of places to go to while in Sorrento!

Pros: Decent pricing, Taste, Vast range of vegan options

Cons: Food took a while

Great vegan options!

We were so happy to have so many clearly labeled vegan options to choose from. We enjoyed fried pizza dough, gnocchi in red sauce, and the most amazing lemon cheesecake. Service was friendly too.

We wish we made it out to dinner earlier in the evening, by 7pm there was a long line to wait in for a table.

Pros: Many options , Clearly labeled , Cheesecake!

Cons: The wait , Decor is like a sports bar

not worth the wait

lotssss and lots of vegan options. I was not impressed by the quality of the food considering I have had amazing food in Italy so far. I got the vegan lasagna and a tortelini dish. the lasagna was almost cold and there was very little eggplant in it. The tortelini was quite bland. Usually I wouldn’t be giving this kind of review but considering it has such a high rating, I thought I’d share another opinion.

maybe try getting the pizza!

Good vegan options, but pricey

The tortellini alla daria and the wild berry cheesecake were amazing. The tortellini came with a porcini mushroom sauce that was really good. Their cheesecake is by far the best vegan cheesecake I've ever had. However, it took a while to get the food and it was pricey for the portion size.

Pros: Nice outdoor area, Lots of vegan options, Great desserts

Cons: Food took a while to come out, The portions were small, except for the pizzas, Expensive

Superb pizza

Amazing Neapolitan pizza base, delicious toppings and fab homemade cashew mozzarella with an authentic melt and stretch. Lots of vegan pizzas and pastas with dedicated vegan section of the menu and ability to veganise other pizzas. Some vegan deserts as well.

Pros: Homemade cashew mozzarella was delicious, Vegan menu

Cons: Very English restaurant which was a shame

Not amazing quality

First up.... appearances are deceptive. Back home in the UK I would walk straight past this place thinking it was the kind of place to go at 2am after a night out. But don't be put off by this. It's a good little find for anyone wanting vegan food.

Menu: Loads of variety and everything is really clearly labelled as to whether it's vegan, vegetarian, or contains allergens. One of the clearest and best laid out menus for this throughout my trip to Naples and Sorrento.
You will literally be spoilt for choice here. Starters, sides, 1st course, second course and desert all have great options.

Food quality. I opted for the vegan ravioli (ravioli di frankie). On first glance it didn't look like enough but once I got down to it, it was a perfect amount. Taste wise, I found it lacking and felt the ratio of pasta to filling was waaay out.
My wife opted for a pizza and said she was disappointed with the quality... too much oil drizzled on top making it seem greasy and lacking the flavour the menu promised... she was hoping for something with quite a kick but it just didn't deliver on that front.
Let's get onto desert. There are 4 great vegan options: two chocolate, one lemon and one Berry.
I went for the lemon sponge and can't fault it. Lemong sponge coated in a soft lemon vegan cream. Very tasty and just the right balance of sweet v tangy.

Service. It gets busy here but despite this, Service seemed to keep up with demand. Take in your stride the fact that you get some time to enjoy the company you are with and you'll be just fine here. Go when you are on a tight timetable and you might find it stressful. That said, the staff do an amazing job.

Staff. Excellent. Very knowledgeable about their products and about dietary needs. No sense of judgement for wanting vegan alternatives and no language barrier issues to getting exactly what you want.

Overall this was good and the food was OK too.
If you want lots of choice this is the place in Sorrento to go.

Great spot in Sorrento

Was looking forward to trying Frankie's and wasn't disappointed. It can be very busy so best check it out before going. Decent selection of options, I went for the gnocchi which was really nice. Great place to dine with omnivore family and friends. It's nice to get something that's traditionally Italian but with vegan cheese. Was speaking to Frankie too, was nice to put a face to the name and hoping even more vegan items can ad added in the future.

Pizza only okay

We had a vegan pizza here. It was okay, but we had better pizza.
The toilets don't have a proper seat (which is unfortunately the case in most places in Sorrento)

Vegan - worth the wait!!

We got lucky and manage to get a table straight away but the night before we saw a massive queue to get in. A lot of places in the area had really long queues but they are worth the wait. They have a set vegan menu but you can add vegan ham to anything and also change to vegan cheese so the full menu can be veganised. The portion sizes are big and reasonably priced.
We went back a second time and if I was even in Sorrento again, this is the first place I would go to!!

Scrumptious

Came here on a rainy night and was greeted by a very friendly and happy team. There is an extensive separate vegan menu: you’ll not have to ask for any adaptations. Many choices of pastas, salads and pizzas. Included in some pizzas are option of vegan cheese and vegan ‘meats’. Drinks were very reasonably priced. I had the ‘Buckingham Palace’ pizza which was delicious (and very large). Because I was able to take leftovers home (box provided, no problems) I was able to try the vegan cheesecake with berries: delicious!!! Creamy and tastes like a non vegan chilled cheesecake. Thanks to your team; you know how to make vegans feel welcome.

Pros: Hospitality! , Vegan cheeses and meats on pizzas , Vegan desserts!!!!

Lots of choice but not all good

You are not short of vegan options here, however I did not enjoy the vegan cheese. It was almost like marshmallows somehow. I would have liked to order desert but the prices listed for the vegan desserts were more than the regular ones even though they are the same thing, I was pretty put off by this. I would recommend for the choice but wouldn’t order the vegan cheese.

Pros: Options

Cons: Too salty

Yummy

I absolutely loved this spot once I browsed the menu and my pizza was delivered. I have found the place in Sorrento that has made all of my vegan dreams come true. I ordered the Il Sombrero pizza in the shape of a heart. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I was not a fan of the pizza with the purple potatoes spread on it and the pesto pasta was not tasty at all. I took one bite and I never took another bite. We returned with a local and she had the carbonara pasta (not vegan) and she had the same complaint as I did, too salty and her words were that “it’s disgusting”. The vegan cheesecake with berries was very good. My only complaint is that the cheesecake serving was very small, but that may be just the greedy part of me. Definitely visit here for a variety of vegan options.

Świetnie oznaczone wegańskie opcje!

Jedliśmy wegańską pizzę i lasagne. Jedzenie było po prostu dobre.
Ogromny plus natomiast za oznaczenia w menu, łatwo znaleźć wegańskie opcje.
Wszystkie restauracje powinny mieć tak wyglądające menu!

I was thankful for this place

I have been in Italy, variety of different places and realized how very difficult it is to be vegan. Some places have no clue what vegan is, think vegetarian is vegan. This place didn’t just have spaghetti with tomato sauce or awful pasta with a few slivers of tofu, it actually had a vegan menu! Not sure if they changed things recently with the reviews I was reading. But they have vegan desserts too! I had the vegan lasagna and Nutella cheesecake. So good! Would definitely recommend.

Great place in Sorrento with many vegan options. They offer a few vegan pizzas, focaccia, and even vegan desserts.

We tried a vegan pizza with vegan cheese and vegan ham and it was really nice.

The best place for vegan options in Sorrento

There is a separate section within the menu for vegans and the other menu clearly labels allergies/where items can be veganised

We ended up visiting Frankie’s several times as it is the best restaurant for choice (and vegan dessert options)

The food was tasty and the portions were large. Sometimes there is a large queue (we usually arrived early to avoid this).

Amazing

I took a pizza and a cheesecake... both amazing..
They are now using the new brand 'dream farm' for the vegan mozzarella and it's FANTASTIC.
I'll come back if I can.
