WHAT I ATE IN ITALY (VEGAN) PT.1 // EP #39 // (VIDEO)
I’m showing you all the awesome vegan food I found on my trip to Italy. John and I visited the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, and Rome. This is only part 1 because there was just so much food!
Airbnb in Palermo!

FEATURED IN THIS EPISODE:
Chef Express Gas Station (somewhere just outside of Rome!) – paprika Pringles & americano
Divina Vietri – Amalfi Coast beer, fried pizza, margherita style pizza without cheese, arugula salad. There were no vegan restaurants in Amalfi or Vietri that we could find so you’ll be making up meals like this at whatever restaurant you go to!
cuorebio (grocery store in Pompeii) – lots of vegan stuff! Be sure to buy your own almond or soy milk for coffee!
Restaurant in Pompeii – vegan croissants
in Amalfi – vegan chocolate gelato (the exact restaurant name is unknown!)
Burger Bar (in Salerno) – we made our own burgers with vegan soy patties, avocado, porcini mushrooms, tomato, lettuce, bbq sauce. Also had the vegan salad. If you’re in Salerno check it out but don’t go out of your way to eat here.
Autogrill gas station (somewhere past Salerno on our way to Sicily)- vegan croissant & americano. Just get vegan croissants wherever you find them. They were everywhere actually!
Haiku (Palermo) – the Antipasto Misto Grande has all the appetizers and I highly recommend it! Also ate Papardelle Al Sugo Di Zucchina Bianca, and Risotto Mantecato Verza Rossa E Pistachio. This was the best food we had on the whole trip.
Billy’s Food (Mondello Beach) – beer & soft vegetarian taco. If you’re in the area this is the only option for vegan food that we found.
ECotta (Palermo) – we had vegetable tempura which is a thing in Italy. We saw it everywhere! A cheeseless pizza and a pasta dish that was super weird and not good. I would’t recommend this place. The food was lack lustre and while the menu lists things as vegan they’re in fact not. BUT they will make you vegan items. I would eat at Haiku again!
Freschette (Palermo) – we had a vegan seitan chicken dish in a lemon sauce which was ok. The adzuki meatballs are really good! That ricotta they serve every dish with is awesome too. This place is worth going too, it’s cute. Be sure to ask which menu items are vegan as it’s a vegetarian cafe.
Capa Toast (Palermo) – go here! The sandwiches are amazing and you can make your own with whatever toppings you want!

The cafes lined up between the station and the entrance to Pompeii serve Coconut milk Gelato, and it's SO good 🙂
There is a Patisserie 2Kms from my home and they made vegan Cornetti Croissants. Be sure about cake makers, as in Italy we use lots of milk, butter, eggs for cakes and sometimes even pig grease as in taralli pretzels unless if specified it was used just olive oil in cooking it.
Pringles are not at all vegan hun. They are made from slime or some shit. Look it up and you’ll see. Nice video and vibes tho ✌️
What is the music with the whistling? I like it.
LAUREN. you're just the cutest thing ever, ditch that guy and get yourself some with more energy like yourself
Are you and John friends?
Put the salad on the pizza! YUMMO!
Soy, tofu, chickpeas… hmm highly estrogenic!! Bread, pasta, cheese, coffee, gelato …yeah highly inflammatory foods. Don’t they have real green vegetables and fruit? WTF. I’m rethinking my trip to Italy. You guys are cute.
Totally!! I got a vegan burger in Florence that was supposed to be vegan but had a BLOCK of creamy stringy cheese. I still don't know what it was.

My hubby drinks either Perroni or Moretti beer & he says it’s lovely i wouldn’t know as i don’t drink.
Why is John so miserable?

You know that lots of wine and beer has Isinglass in it, right?
I'm intrigued by the ricotta at the Freschette restaurant, do you know the base for it? Like cashew maybe?
