Fast food and friendly atmosphere - Edit
I went to this Universo Vegano on my first day in Italy. Expecting a typical fast food restaurant atmosphere I was overwhelmed by the friendlyness of the staff members. They made me feel welcome, explained me different things I didn't know in Italian, and recommended me plates relating to my questions. I had a really tasty burger and a tiramisu, which tasted almost the same like (as far as I remember) non-vegan tiramisu. Of course it's not the healthiest option but you know that when you go to a fast food chain. Very cool is also the fact that the restaurant seems to be something like a spot to meet up in the evening. And I liked the really relaxed dog, sitting next to the entrance not moving more than necessary.

Absolute heaven! - Edit
I cannot describe how great universo vegano was. There was such a great variety and the food tasted amazing! I have a sandwich with vegetable tuna that look and tasted like the real thing! The tiramisu was fluffy and beautiful. The guy working there was really cool too, super helpful. If this stop is possible, make it!
Read morePros: variety, reasonably priced, great atmosphere
Cons: only one outlet , away from everything

Great vegan eats - Edit
You can see and taste the pride in ownership. While they have veggie burgers and dogs, they've gone beyond that with vegan adaptations of local sandwiches. We had a vegan spicy and veghani winter and both were fantastic. Followed by a 'veganmisu'. The staff was pleasant and interactive, making for an enjoyable experience. Wish we had one in the US!
Read morePros: original menu, staff excited about their products , great flavor

Best Vegan Burger in Milan! - Edit
On a long and winding walk in search of our favourite gelato store we came accros this little shop by accident.
Read moreJust do yourself a favour and go. 100% vegan, tastes like a legitimate real burger with cheese and all and is cheap as chips.
Pros: low price, amazing food, lovely service

Delicious! Can't be missed! - Edit
I live in Milan and I can definitely state that this is so far the best vegan place in town.
Read moreThe food is simply delicious, tasty and abundant.
You can have "just" the sandwich/wrap or add few euros and make the combo: + salad + croquettes/"meatballs".
My husband and I we tried a wrap and a sandwich with different fillings and we couldn't help but buying the dessert: a delicious tiramisù. We were so full we ate it later at home.
Of course it is not a restaurant were you can bring your family for a special event, but this is definitely a place were you can bring a non-vegan friend and let him/her taste! He/she will be impressed! Moreover, it is cheap!
I am just wishing they will open a new location close to where I work!
Pros: amazing food, inexpensive, all vegan: food, soaps, staff...
Cons: few seats

Lovely although greasy, but that's the fun of it! - Edit
I visited Universo Vegano in October: the selection is straightforward and as it seems. The menu comprises only "dirty fast food": imagine kebabs, grilled mock tuna sandwiches, vegan cheeseburgers.
Read moreI had my first ever vegan kebab and that was a nice change, even if I found it a bit greasy: that is part of the fun, though! For once, I could indulge in something vegan and not too healthy looking.
Not too fast service but a good vegan option if you need fuel for the night in the Navigli area or for a bike ride!
Pros: Tasty and fun vegan food
Cons: Not too healthy food

The bright side of the fast food chain - Edit
The perfect place if you arrive there with a huge hunger!
Read moreThe burgers, sandwiches, wraps and focaccia (the full menu includes also a fresh salad or vegan croquettes) are giant! I have to admit sometime I take 2 burgers... Oh well! This is a further evidence the quality of the food is fantastic!
I really love it! I am so addicted!
Pros: fresh ingredients , tasty burgers , cozy and friendly
Cons: sometime you have to wait a lot of time before to , few tables and chairs

Vegan Fast Food? It's good and not that fast! - Edit
When I'm hungry and I don't have time (or will) to cook a proper dinner, I'm in for Universo Vegano. Everything is vegan, from food to shop assistants!
Read moreYou can find a dozen of different sandwiches and piadina, assembled and heated (no microwave!) after your order and because of this, it might take some time to get your burger ready. There are some many kind of burgers (soy, spinach, mashrooms) and bread (white, brown, piadina, focaccia etc.).
My favourite is the simple (but huge) Vegan Burger. I'd just add a slice of onion and it would be perfect!
Some products, like the vegan cheese, are imported from Germany. Unfortunately no one in Italy produces them so I don't blame the owners at all for this!
Pros: 100% vegan, shop assistants too, Open till late, Wonderful location
Cons: Some non local ingredients are used

Value for money - Edit
It'a a value for money franchising network. Not really like the "fast food" format: the claim to use almost local food, but they use mainly franchisor's food, manufactured in a lab (Milan suburbs).
Read moreNevertheless it's a good choice if you are starving and want to eat a fast vegan sandwich. Soft drinks are not available. Unfortunately nor tea, infusions or fresh juices.
Pros: variety, vegan only, price
Cons: no local food, fast food, tasteless
