Italy has so much to offer for vegans! Chris and I are definetely stuffed from our Italy leg of our Europe 2016 trip! When you visit restaurants, the staff are receptive when you mention you are vegan ( sono vegana/o). When you go to grocery stores there is so much fresh produce and packages marked as vegan friendly. In Rome Chris and I went to a vegan restaurant named ECRU located near the Vatican. There we got to dine on great sandwiches and eat vegan tarimisu! I hadn’t had tarimisu for 10 years since going vegan and it was my favorite kind of cake! Let me say it was amazing and it is still my favorite cake! In addition the Italian restaurants we went to, were able to make pasta with no meat tomato sauce. In Florence we had vegan pizza, crepes, gelato and found some vegan friendly snacks. Florence is so beautiful, and nature is preserved into the city. We saw flowers, birds, and lizards we had never seen before.( full review to come) 🙂
Trying vegan tiramisu in Italy sounds like a dream! What part of Florence is that in the 4th photo with the garden in the background?
Hi Shannon the place is called ‘guardino delle rosa’ it is right next to the piazzale michealangelo . It’s such a beautiful place, just full of flowers and nature. There is a section of the garden, which is a mini Japanese tea garden and is tranquil. You got to check it out !
Mmmmmmmm Vegan Tiramisu!!! Glad to hear you guys are having a great time in Europe.
Thanks Cody! Yes I need to go back to Rome just to experience it again.. Or I have to get my baking skills going when we get back home.
@margare7 Where else are you guys travelling on you Eurotrip?
Hey @codyk we went to Paris, Italy and now we are in Amsterdam 🙂
Awesome, sounds like a great trip. How much longer are you two out for?
I’ve also had tarimisu in Rome! Isn’t it amazing?! Yours looks very yummy. Where did you have gelato in Florence?
Hey @cityloveee, we had the lemon gelato and it was in Rome! I forget the exact name of the shop but it was right beside trevi fountain.
