What a find! We were town hopping and I was thrilled to find a super vegan-friendly establishment…read morein Manarola. I wish I was hungrier so I could've had something more substantial, because they had all sorts of veganized Italian entrees, including lasagna! I was in the mood for farinata, a chickpea flour pancake, and wine, so I ordered that and then grabbed a croissant to have the next morning. The man working behind the counter was very friendly, and confirmed the farinata was vegan (it was one of the few things not clearly marked, even though it's almost always vegan). This place is small and very popular with tourists, as he makes it very easy for foreigners to order with multiple translations of the menu on poster boards. It makes it look like a tourist trap but really, he's just accommodating as many people as possible. The farinata was delicious! It reminded me of the socca I had in Nice, and it paired perfectly with a local white wine. The croissant was great, too, even the next day. I'd definitely come back for lunch, there's so much good looking food.

Omg soooooo good! Californian here who recently went vegan.

Makes me want to open a vegan Italian restaurant in California!

I'm not a fan of seitan so I opted for the quiche. It tasted fine but the portion was tiny for the cost.

We thought we would have time to wander around the old city of Ferrara but when we realized we…read moreneeded to get going to reach our destination on time we fired up the trusty Yelp app to search for vegan food for lunch -- La Vegana was one of the options that popped up -- and it was close to where we were so we plugged in our GPS and headed straight for it. I'm glad we did because it because it was one of the best mid-day meals of our entire two week trip through Italy, Germany and Austria. La Vegana is a small, unassuming restaurant and shop in a quiet neighborhood. There are a few tables for eating in but it appears to me that much of their business is take away and selling vegan grocery items. The menu for the day is written out on a chalk board. We were able to decipher it with no problem but if your Italian is marginal the woman at the counter spoke excellent English and was helpful in making our selections. I ordered ravioli spinaci. It was very good. I ate vegan ravioli three times while in Italy, once when we made it ourselves in a cooking class in Como, then at an upscale vegan restaurant in Venezia, and finally here at La Vegana. The ravioli at La Vegana was not as fancy as at the restaurant in Venezia -- but the taste was just as good. The ravioli we made ourselves was also good -- but we're just beginners when it comes to making pasta. My traveling companions report that they also enjoyed there selections. If you are a vegan and looking for good vegan food in Ferrara, I recommend La Vegana. They open at 11:00am and close at 9:00pm. It is worth seeking out.
