Healthy and tasty food

Few different options including a taster menu.
Food was very excellent. Only point was that some of it could have been a bit warmer.

Brilliant, highly recommend!

We were so excited to have real vegan food that we had a bit of everything; the menu changes often. We had a mixed plate of a soup dish and different rice dishes with fresh veggies. We also tried the ravioli & the seitan, both were outstanding. They even served everything on two plates so my partner & I could have a bit of everything.

Excellent!

Great concept, very friendly and helpfull staff and delicious meals. We came here twice and will definitely come back.
Yesterday we had the mixed dishes (a starter miso soup, two types of risotto, salad and vegetables), chocolate cake as a dessert and pear and apple juice (we had two bottles, but would recommend just one for two people because it‘s so much and really thick and intense). Today we joined the pizza night, also very good! We also shared the rice ice cream, sooo good. A great experience for us and not our last visit.
Also have a look at the organic food in the entrance of the restaurant, really special and a good holiday present for your dear ones or yourself😄(e.g. olive cream, pesto etc.)

Pros: All vegan and so delicious , Good prices, Nice atmosphere and really friendly staff

Cons: Nothing!!!

Una garanzia in tutta Salerno

Questo locale è tra i miei preferiti, a Salerno e provincia, che offre pietanze davvero gustose seguendo la stagionalità delle materie prime che sono da loro coltivate e quindi a km0. Quello che mi piace particolarmente è che vengano offerte poche pietanze che non vengono congelate, ma cucinate al momento. Tutto fresco e genuino e posso assicurare che si sente!
Anche il gelato di riso è fatto da loro ed è forse la pietanza che più preferisco.

Weird place, left without eating there

The reason of the two star rating is, that there’s a minimum of 2 stars for a vegan restaurant. Otherwise my rating would be lower. They didn’t had a menue, just a few poorly printed shattered pages, that didn’t inform about the food, drinks and prices. There was just a weird waiter that explained what they offer. When I asked what they have to drink without alcohol, i was told that they have no coca-cola, because it’s a bad company. So they just have beer and wine. It was 2pm and I don’t drink alcohol at the moment. I was even more confused because i didn’t asked for a coke. I saw other people with tea, so I continued asking, what they have without alcohol. Then he said water or orange juice. I asked for the price, and got no answer. The waiter also just explained the mixed platter, that was absolutely not interesting for me. It didn’t looked very nice. Like made by a none vegan restaurant, that mixes all vegan starters and side dishes to an uncreative main course together. So i asked for pizza. Because I read that there is pizza on friday. He said yes, i asked about the price for a pizza and he said that he doesn’t know the price. The whole place smelled very bad. There was a sour smell all over, that reminded me of vomit. Then I left the place without lunch.

It’s ok

We came in for lunch and the staff were very friendly but we found most of the food to be a little flavourless.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good value for money, Good Strudel

Cons: Food was very average

Semplice ma buono

L'unico ristorante (ristorante ma quasi osteria per la semplicità degli interni e tutto) dove si mangia davvero il vegan che fa bene, per la salute. E personalmente lo trovo molto gustoso!

Pros: solo vegan

Nice vegan restaurant

We had dinner at this restaurant and it was really good. Their menu is always changing and they work with fresh localy produced veggies. We both had the spaghetti with vegan parmesan and it was really good. We also had a salad with melon, it was basic but honestly quite good! There is also a grocery section in the restaurant wich is nice! Would recommend if you are ever in Salerno!

Pros: All vegan, Local and organic poducts, Nice staff

Cons: Really hot in there

Lovely wholesome vegan restaurant

Home-cooked vegan Italian food - a welcome break from cheese-less pizzas. Owner/waiter was so so friendly, and offers a rotating daily menu (including a daily mixed platter). All the food was super tasty and fresh. Shop attached also has a variety of bio-dynamic wines, chocolate, and various other vegan things! Would throughly recommend. Go support the only vegan place in Salerno!!

Pros: All vegan! , Relatively cheap. , Really friendly staff

Absolutely amazing feel good food

We arrived in Salerno and immediately went here. We thought they were closed but the owner said he was happy to accommodate us. All alone in the place he then offered us a mixed plate of some of their dishes, all of which were amazing. Pumpkin cream risotto, a salad with green beans and pink melon, beans with onions and an onion focaccia. It was affordable and the server/owner was super friendly. If we’re ever back in Salerno we will definitely return here!

A Vegan Home - Casa Vegan

The place is not very easy to reach by car because of the narrow streets. However, it is located in the centre not far from the promenade by the sea. Soothing place with good air circulation and good energy!
We phoned still on the motorway and although it was a bit late for lunch they told us to come anyway.
There was a warm welcome on arrival from Vito, who with his brothers Cosimo and Giovanni forms a trio competent in various fields such as holistic medicine, naturopathy, yoga... as well as macrobiotic-inspired vegan cooking.
At the entrance to the shop, there are many products on the shelves for sale.
Very fast service with that touch of witty friendliness that is never lacking around here.
We were able to enjoy a first course of semi-prepared rice with squash blossoms and courgette and particularly tasty gommasio. Then cooked vegetables consisting of green beans and very tasty cannellini beans, all accompanied by bancha tea. To finish an excellent dessert made with rice malt and hazelnut cream. Generous portions. Average prices.

Il posto non è molto facile da raggiungere in macchina per le strade strette. Comunque si trova in centro non lontano dal lungomare. Locale soaziosi con una buona circolazione dell'aria e energie positive!
Abbiamo telefonato ancora in autostrada e malgrado fosse già un po' tardi per il pranzo ci hanno detto di venire comunque.
Calda accoglienza all'arrivo da parte di Vito che con i fratelli Cosimo e Giovanni forma un trio competente in vari settori come la medicina olistica, la naturopatia, yoga.. oltreché la cucina vegana d'ispirazione macrobiotica.
All'entrata del negozio ci sono tanti prodotti in esposizione sugli scaffali in vendita.
Servizio velocissimo con quel tocco di arguta simpatia che da queste parti non manca mai.
Abbiamo potuto gustare un primo di riso semilavorato con fiori di zucca e zucchine e gommasio particolarmente saporito. Poi verdure cotte composte da fagiolini verdi e fagioli cannellini molto gustosi, il tutto accompagnato da té bancha. Per finire un ottimo dolce fatto con malto di riso e crema di nocciole. Porzioni abbondanti. Prezzi nella media.

Absolutely lovely spot

My partner and I ate at Un Gelsomino yesterday and it was brilliant. 100% vegan including classic italian dishes like pasta and calzone. We split linguine, a mixed plate and the seitan cut with potatoes which was too much food for us but we just couldn’t choose what to get as everything sounded lovely. All very well seasoned & delicious and staff were very friendly. Beans and greens were a highlight. Small shop at front sells pasta and sauces and a small amount of fresh veg.

Pros: 100% vegan, Delicious food, Friendly and welcoming

War in Ordnung

Die Karte wechselt täglich. Essen war gut und abwechslungsreich und die Preise waren in Ordnung. Trotzdem war es jetzt nicht soo besonders, dass ich nochmal hingehen würde. Netter überdachter „Innenhof“, allerdings sehr eingezäunt. Wir waren an einem Freitag Abend die einzigen Gäste mit einem anderen Mann.

Pros: Komplett vegan, Gute Preise, Abwechslungsreich

Cons: Eingezäunter Außenbereich, Nicht viel los an einem Freitag Abend.

Gutes Abendessen, kann man mal machen

Hatten ein leckeres Abendessen, Preis war mit 10€ für den Mixteller in Ordnung
Mittags waren wir schonmal da und da war es relativ voll, Freitag abends dann bis auf einen weiteren Gast komplett leer
Kellner konnte nur sehr mäßiges Englisch, Karte war komplett auf Italienisch

Locale di cucina macrobiotica, vegetariana e vegana

Ottimo ristorante con ampia offerta di prodotti a km0 coltivati nel proprio orto e soprattutto di stagione! Prezzi accessibili e porzioni non scarse. Proprietario molto gentile e disponibile alle spiegazioni! Lo consiglio perché si trova a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Salerno e soprattutto perché ha davvero costi abbordabili, le materie prime sono genuine e le pietanze ottime!

I loved it!

I definitely recommend going there. The food is so good and the place really brings back some quiet after a busy day in the sun.. the owner is super nice, everything on the menu was vegan- but I think it is always changing so you might want to ask..

The food was filling and wholesome and a nice mixture/tasters of different dishes (I had the lunch menu).

Was not the best day in salerno and i am always very uncomfortable when going out to eat alone.. but i am so glad i did.. also bought some nice pestos from different regional plants I dont even know.. looking forward to trying them;)

Pros: Many vegan options, Nice atmosphere / nice owner, Slows you down

Cons: Nothing really. Worth the extra 10 min walk;)

Amazing taste

Very well seasoned and very much. We ordered lunch and could not finish it and had enough to also eat dinner from it. We had a platter with grilled vegetables, slice of seitan, vegan 'meat'balls, bread and a soup beforehand. Also a very tasty vegan parmiggiano. Highly recommend!

Awesome vegan food

Owner speaks no English, but one of his chefs (or waitress?) speaks good English. Delicous food. Everything Really special. We loved the mixed starter (10€) with wholegrain bread and vegan cheese. The pistachios basilicum pasta (10€) was perfect. Only the dessert (3,5€) was just "okay". Good restaurant to convince people going vegan!

Pros: Special food , Nice atmosphere , Sale of Organic products in store

Cons: 2€ service and 1€ coperto p.p.
