Really good vegan cakes - Edit
They had a pretty wide selection of vegan cakes when I went, all of which looked really good.

Best vegan in Florence - Edit
We did the deal for 3 portions for €18 and it was excellent! Everything on both plates was delicious & it meant we got to try a variety. There was also a sommelier who helped us choose wine. Went back to the cafe the next day. The dinner was not just a great vegan meal, but the best meal of our holiday. Highly recommend.

Lovely Diner in Firenze - Edit
The food and service were amazing. The staff was so kind and helpfull. The food is cheap (18€ for a big plate with 3 different dishes) and 7€ for deserts. The dishes are not commun and really tasty. I would highly advise this place. Make a reservation !

Nice option - Edit
I wish we could give half stars, I would also give this 3.5 stars.
Read moreI got the combination meal, made up of your choice of salad, rice and pasta, and specials which was very reasonable for €18. I really liked this as I was able to try a bit of everything.
I chose the potato pesto salad (very good but SALTY), the tortillini filled with potatoes with spicy tomato sauce (very tasty sauce), and the rice flour crepe with potatoes and onions and various herbs (the main flavour profile was the sweet onions on top, and the orange coloured sauce drizzled on top which was also sweet, the taste didn't match the description at all, there was too much sweetness going on for me).
When I went to pay, I saw the deserts, the vegan one was the chocolate pear cake with vegan cream. It unfortunately was nowhere near as good as it looked, very dry, and quite rich.
I also found it a little confusing to find this cafe, as I couldn't see the name of the cafe, and it just looked like a bookstore from outside.

Expensive and poor - Edit
You don't eat very well and the portions are very small so it's very expensive. I don't understand why they don't change the regime. All reviews say the same thin

Disappointing - Edit
A person said here earlier, the food was earthy and now I might know what was meant. Single items of food put together with basic concept only of taste, visuals, spices, ...

Cons: Smell in the second room behind the garden.

Terrible value for money - Edit
Average food with an almost laughable portion size. The tiny amount of food you do get actually makes this a very expensive restaurant (and I’m from London).
Read moreNo joke, but this place was so disappointing that it made my girlfriend actually cry real tears. The interior of the restaurant was very pleasant though.
I’d avoid this one guys.

Lindo lugar , comida normal - Edit
La pasta es rica pero nada sorprendente.
Read moreLa lasagna para vegetarianos es increíble.
No recomiendo el carpaccio de aguacate, es básicamente aguacate cortado en pedazos, nada especial.
Si van a cenar es después de las 7pm antes de esa hora fuimos y solo servían algunos bocadillos y café. Pedir reserva!
Pros: Lasagna , La locación
Cons: Carpaccio de avocado

Nice place but earthy food - Edit
This is lovely place with attentive staff and great vibes. However the food is what I would class at the 'earthy' end of the vegan scale. I didn't feel wowwed - pasta was nice but nothing special. The salad was ok but it was just green beans in pesto. The falafal wasn't great and came with an odd curry sauce. Overall, there is better out there and for cheaper.

Absolutely divine - Edit
You cannot go wrong here. By far the best food I have eaten after months in Florence. Do yourself a favor and get 1) Agnolotti with onion and prune -- one of most incredible pastas I have ever had; 2) tempeh -- best tempeh I've ever had across several countries

Nice flavor - Edit
Like other posts state, the staff can be sassy. We called several times to make a reservation and never got through. Went in person around noon and booked the last reservation of the day. The ambiance is a neat idea but I probably won’t go back. Their were other vegan places in the area I enjoyed the ambiance more and the food just as much.
Read moreThe food had nice spices which is hard to come by in Italy. We got an avocado salad (the avocado was runny, the nutritional yeast sauce under it was the highlight), then a risotto (very well done, vegetables cooked were perfect, nice blend of spices), Falafel (nice spicy kick). We also ordered carrot juice (it tasted like apple juice, neither of us could taste the carrot).

Cute place, get a reservation! - Edit
I tried to make a reservation from the US by emailing and message on Facebook but got no response. I was hoping that noon on a Monday would be an ok time to go without one, and they squeezed us in but barely! Food was good, though seitan was kind of gelatinous and a chocolate cake was super dry. Loved the agnolotti with plums.

Top Notch Spot - Edit
Had dinner here last night and it was fantastic. Lots of vegan options. Ordered the sampler menu and loved it. The Seitan Masala is a MUST GET if it’s in the menu. It’s amazing. Also super cute space. You’re literally eating in a book store. Staff is very friendly as well. If you’re in Florence, this is a definite need to go spot.

Unique and amazing flavours - Edit
Such nice food. I had the tempeh and the tortellini and both were truly next level. The sauces were so nice. My friend had the avocado salad, which is basically half an avo with some really nice sauce. I think my ideal dish would be those three.
