Absolutely perfect!

Amazing food and friendly staff. I had the vegan board which offered a mini taste of lots of Sicilian dishes. And "l'aglio e olio" pasta was phenomenal. We stayed for cake to hide from the rain, the orange fairy cake was delightful.

Tasty but expensive

We had the spaghetti with mushrooms. It was good but too average for the given price. The plate was 18 € and you pay 2,5 € just for service… Two main dishes with water were 44 € and we were not feeling full or satisfied. It was tasty but nothing special so not worth it. They also have some vegan desserts and appetisers, but we felt like going broke if we had those too. If money is not a problem for you then go for it.

Pros: Well labeled vegan options, Nicely presented food, Kind staff

Cons: Too expensive for what you get, Average atmosphere and scenery, Small portions

Disapointing and horrible experience

We made a reservation which was confirmed and when we arrived they were full, in the end they adapted a small table right next to the kitchen. It was horrible.
When making the reservation we stated we’re vegan and they said ok we have a lot of options. When we arrived they just told us they finished almost everything. We ended up sharing one pasta dish which was avarage and very expensive.
I recommend you go to any restaurant in town: it will be cheaper and better.

Cons: Very expensive

Absolutely delicious

Many vegan options about 5 vegan side dishes. The first restaurant in Sicily that served whole wheat bread. The waiter was truly happy to hear that we came only for the vegan food and generally the staff was really friendly. I highly recommend the „vegan board“!

Stunning!

We loved this place. Well marked vegan options on the menu, for every course. Food was so fresh and delicious. I had chickpea and aubergine balls wrapped in grilled lemon leaves with lemon mayo. The service was good, the staff were delightful, the setting was wonderful. It is quite pricey - it's not a place for every night of a holiday - but we will be going back!

Real pleasant surprise

Food was high end, wonderfully prepared and seriously rich in taste!
We’ve taken the Vegan board as a starter and then Truffle pasta and also the Chickpea/eggplant rolls, which is basically all that is available on the menu. Nonetheless it’s perfectly enough for a surprisingly delicious dinner.
Oh yeah we’ve tried the Orange fairy cake which was also superb!

Delicious food with fun options!

I am always thrilled to find choices that go beyond cheeseless pizza or hummus. Rosmarino was a find! Several interesting vegan options. I had the aubergine chickpea fritters with fennel orange salad-both delicious. The pasta my son ordered-tomato with truffle was outstanding. Great service in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend. Would go back!

Great vegan starter plate and main dishes

Very tasty vegan starter plate and also two vegan main dishes to choose from (a pasta dish and some fried chickpea balls). Plus some vegan side dishes (tried the fennel - orange salad) and desert. The food is very good quality and the staff are knowledgeable about veganism.

Pros: Good vegan options and clearly marked, Friendly staff

Cons: Not everything is vegan

Excellent vegan food

This place has a vegan platter to start and a couple of options for pasta and main, plus sides, all of local delicacy. Definitely a must try in Taormina. Would rate five stars if I could.

Pros: Great vegan platter, Excellent pasta dish, Multiple sides to choose

Great vegan surprise

Even though it said on their door this restaurant was closed for lunch on Tuesdays we were happy it appeared to be open. Opposite a nice park in a bit less touristy area of Taormina we enjoyed a great lunch on the terrace. The vegan starter offered a great introduction to Sicilian cuisine, this is a must try. As mains we enjoyed the truffle pasta and the lemon grape roles. The limited (but great) vegan options are clearly indicated on the menu. However, clearly communicating to the waiter seemed important, as he accidently brought a meat dish. Overall a great vegan option in Taormina!

Cons: Check opening times

Beat the tourist magnets

Clearly marked vegan options, exceptional quality and service. The vegan sampler appetizer alone is worth the trip.

Pros: Creative preparation and cozy setting. , Way better than tourist magnets around town.

Cons: Slightly higher prices.

Beautiful place

Lots of clearly marked vegan options at a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is lovely, lunch and dinner!
I cannot stress enough that the food is delicious and they are happy to change a few non vegan items to make them vegan.

Good veggie / vegan options

Very enjoyable - we had a very good vegan board for starter and tried the two vegan mains (aubergine and chickpea balls and a mushroom pasta dish) and we were pleased all round. Also plenty of options for vegan sides!

Clearly marked vegan items

Lovely restaurant on a quiet street opposite the English garden. The vegan plate to start was delicious and well thought out, the truffle pasta and polpette were fine, a bit bland but filling. Roast potatoes and orange salad were gorgeous and they had an almond cake with vegan whipped cream to finish. Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The food didn't blow me away but all in all I'd highly recommend as I'm not sure you'll get better in Taormina.

Lovely restaurant

I was happy to have found a restaurant that had actually vegan marked plates on their menu, though just a few. It has a small terrace to dine outside. The food was fresh and different from what you get at the other restaurants in the area. I had the vegan plate as a starter, which I recommend to share, if you order more things as it is quite filling already. The pasta with truffle was very good, but might be too spicy for some. Prices at this restaurant are higher, but worth it. It is best to make a reservation.

Pros: friendly and attentive staff, fresh, good quality food

Cons: pricey
