The story
Located on Viale Vittorio Veneto, Neat Burger brings an international plant-based fast-food concept to Milan. Backed by high-profile investors Leonardo DiCaprio and Lewis Hamilton, the chain aims to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional quick-service dining. Despite the star power behind the brand, the Milan location has struggled to win over local diners.
The experience often feels like a "half-hearted attempt," according to creator Pratt, who noted that while certain sauces and sides show promise, the core menu items fall short. Critics point to mediocre burgers and subpar buns, suggesting that the premium pricing does not always align with the quality of the meal. From the Double Neat Burger to the Tiramisù Vegano, the menu frequently fails to leave a lasting impression, making this a hit-or-miss destination for those seeking a plant-based bite in the city.

AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
The vegan tiramisù earns raves for its surprisingly rich, creamy layers. Overall, reviewers describe Neat Burger’s food as satisfying comfort fare that delights even non-vegans.
“Visually it looks more like a carrot cake than a tiramisù. The first bite is totally an American cake, not tiramisù at all. But it's not bad — if you change the name, I'd call it a nice American cake inspired by Italian tiramisù. I can taste the cocoa bitterness, they didn't play with added sugars, it's not sweet. It's convincing, enveloping, definitely not lacking.”
What creators say
1 creator has covered Neat Burger. Most active: Pratt
A vegan fast food chain backed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Lewis Hamilton that feels like it was done just for the sake of doing it — some sauces and sides are good, but the burgers are disappointing and overpriced, I wouldn't go back.
Dishes mentioned
Polpette in Salsa di Pomodoro con Peperoni Arrostiti e Formaggio Vegano
The sauce and peppers are actually good, they even manage to sting a bit, but the meatball itself gives you nothing — no nice texture, no flavor. It's very flat both in chewing and taste. The sauce is really good, but the meatball is a no from me.
Corn Ribs con Lime e Prezzemolo
If I don't think about spending €5 for a corn cob cut in half, it's actually quite tasty — the spiciness, the parsley. But it's basically corn with stuff on top, nothing special. Cutting it makes it more convenient, but I miss the old way of just biting into a whole cob like a hamster.
Crispy Chicken Burger
The bread needs improvement — it's the weak point. The chicken tastes like bad industrial chicken that we're getting used to, but it does taste like chicken. The salad is fresh, the sauce is good. But the bread is just annoying to eat, it sticks to the roof of my mouth. It's a background burger — like a bad Netflix series you put on while doing something else.
Double Neat Burger
The cheddar is really good, the salad is fresh, everything is perfect except the patty — it's the classic supermarket Beyond Meat style, cute but not particularly good. And the bread is the Boromir of this burger — the weakest link. It's not that it's not good, it's just annoying to eat, it gives you trouble continuing. I paid €3 extra for a double patty and it's like an origami, it's so thin.
