We were staying near the Vatican and I had previously done an Internet search for local vegetarian and vegan places, since I had anticipated we would be in need of this after being faced with so many meat and pasta dishes throughout the course of our vacation. This is exactly what happened so I looked up my notes and thankfully,... More

One of the best lunch menu near the Vatican city. The food is fantastic, very fresh and delicious. The service was first class, we enjoyed everything at this place: good staff, excellent food, people, atmosphere. Thank you!

Such a cozy little hobbit hole in the middle of touristy Ottaviano district. Frappes, Sandwiches, herbal teas. Very nice English speaking staff. Lovely helpful people.

Made to order fruit shakes are like the icing on the cake of a nice and light tasty sandwich experience. Each one is lovingly made, with ingredients sliced up right for you (talk about fresh!) over interesting conversations with the workers who are almost as interested in how your day is going as getting the sandwiches exactly as you prefer....

This little hole in the wall is a great place to stop by for lunch on your way to visiting the Vatican or Saint Peter's Square. They make your favorite and personalized juices and smoothies, have daily home-made soups and delicious healthy sandwiches. If you want a break from the pizza and pasta -heavy Italian diet, this little spot will... More

Fabio cafe is a tiny place, easy to miss, next to an internet sport and travel agency close to the Vatican with seating for 3-4 at their little bar, but we found the most helpful and kind young man there. He was patient with our many questions about the food and smoothies. (It appears to be a healthier alternative to... More

Some of the best, friendliest service I've ever experienced in Europe and America combined. Healthy, fresh, organic food. Tasty sandwiches and smoothies. One of the best salads I've ever tried. A small little spot that I was lucky enough to experience twice. I would not miss out on this one. 5 -10 minute walk from the vatican, not far at... More

A little difficult to find because the location on the map was wrong. But we didn't regret. The sandwiches were excellent.
