One of the best options in Trieste

Since Trieste is not a very vegan-friendly city, you have to chose from the few places where vegan options are clearly labeled and do are not limited to potatoes and pasta. The Melograno offers a calm ambiente and some clearly labelled vegan dishes, including pizzas, pasta, gnocchi and more. Sometimes they even have a vegan cake on the menu. The dishes are all made with top-quality products and you can definitely tell😄

Ottima scelta nel centro di Trieste

Il Melograno non è un ristorante completamente vegano, ma ha molti piatti vegetariani e anche vegani dall'antipasto al dolce, passando per le pizze. Hanno anche una "mozzarella" vegetale di produzione propria per le pizze, che però non ho avuto occasione di provare. Il personale è molto gentile, disponibile e competente, visto che il ristorante è certificato dalle associazioni che si occupano di celiachia e intolleranza al lattosio. Sono previlegiati i prodotti locali e biologici. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono. Il locale è molto carino e ben curato.

Pros: Molte opzioni vegetariane e vegane, Personale gentile e disponibile , Buon rapporto qualità prezzo

Vegan Pizza!!

They offer vegan pizza with homemade vegan mozzarella, you can also chose gluten-free dough.

I’ve been eating here with a friend two times and we enjoyed our pizzas a lot! Unfortunately the cheese didn’t tasted “cheesy”, so it was more like a cream.

If you want gluten-free, vegan pizza, you should definitely go there!!

Not very tasty

There were some vegan options and the menu was very clear as opposed to what was vegan. But the food needed some more taste. We tried the summer veggie pizza and there wasn't a lot of taste in it.

Pros: Quite some vegan options

Cons: Wrong order taking, Not very good English, Not everything is as tasty

Pizze vegetariane e piatti top

Sono stato più volte in questo ristorante, e ho sempre trovato buone scelte sia vegane che vegetariane, la qualità degli ingredienti è molto alta, tutti provenienti da piccole realtà locali.
Consiglio le polpette vegane e anche la loro pizza vegana, con la mozzarella di riso fatta da loro!

Pros: Qualità dei prodotti, Numerose opzioni vegane, Bellissima location

Cons: Più pizze vegane

Nice place but no taste on the food

It was much people there, so I guess the place is popular. It was a poor vegan pizza. It didn't tast bad, but it tasted nothing at all.

Pros: Nice with a vegan pizza

Cons: The pizza had no taste or manly taste of dough

Underwhelming

Slow service, hard to find location
Chicca Vegana Pizza was very weird tasting, we couldn't eat more than a slice.
Margarita Pizza with vegan Mozarella was flooded with tomato sauce, the sauce was dripping down from the slices and the mozarella tasted like nothing.
Waitresses were friendly but manager(?) refused to speak english and was very rude.

Pros: multiple vegan options

Cons: Expensive, Rude , Not yummy

Good food

Good food and several vegan options on the menù.
The staff is kind and quick.
We got the fried veggies, the chickpea soup and the pumpkin pizza; the vegan cheeze is homemade but the taste is not amazing, appreciate their offer.

Ottimo ristorante pizzeria

Ottima pizza con la possibilità di chiedere la mozzarella di riso. Buonissimi anche gli spritz e le verdure pastellate (vegane!).

Pros: Opzioni vegane ben segnalate, Pizze con mozzarella di riso, Bellissimo posto

Cons: Un po’costoso,soprattutto le aggiunte sulla pizza

OK place to have a dinner, but probably not the best

I liked the fact that this restaurant offers local, seasonal and healthy food and vegan options are clearly marked. However, the chef doesn't seem to be very good, it seems they don't use spices, I don't know why, there are local, seasonal and healthy spices available. Anyway, we ate caponatina as starter (a dish of cooked aubergine, zucchini, peppers, olives, caprices) which was good (not perfect for lack of spices), then a Chicca Vegana pizza which was not good. The rice mozzarella did not have a taste at all and the dough was also just OK. The vegan Sacher cake, however, was really good.

Pros: healthy, local, seasonal

Cons: slow service, lack of slices

vegan expandable

I was really looking forward to my first vegan pizza in Italy and was very disappointed. Although the cheese is homemade, it doesn't taste like anything and its consistency is not appetizing. my friend's tuna pizza was okay.

Great concept with some room for improvement on the vegan side

Surely a great spot in a central and convenient location, serving food made with high quality, organic and locally sourced ingredients, clearly labelled for different dietary needs. It is an excellent option for healthier and more conscious eating, but there is room for improvement on the vegan end. There was only one vegan starter (vegetable tempura), two vegan mains (pizza and one rather basic pasta) and one vegan dessert at the time of my visit. The pizza was good and I appreciated that rice mozzarella was home-made but it was not particularly well executed. I think it is a great start that can easily be further strengthened. At present, it is more of an ideal choice for vegetarians, those on gluten-free diets or simply those looking for healthier, organic food than for vegans. Yet, I greatly appreciate the good intentions and I would happily be back once they add more vegan options and/or further refine the current ones.

Pros: Fresh, organic and locally sourced ingredients , Food is clearly labelled by dietary needs , Central location with outdoor seating

delicious

We loved the quiet patio far away from the loud touristy places. It's necessary to call first and reserve since outdoor seating is very limited. (at least during covid restrictions) Food was delicious, there is an english menu and easy to read with a tasteful colour system for vegan/vegetarian/meat. Would recommend!

Pros: nice and quiet patio, english menu (ask for it!)

Cons: tiny patio (reservation is needed!)

Locale grande e curato nel centro di Trieste. I prodotti sono stagionali e provengono dalle aziende agricole della regione. Pizze elaborate e buonissime, consigliato quando non si vuole prendere la solita marinara!

Pros: Varie opzioni veg, Stagionale, Ottimi ingredienti
