Riceballs from heaven

We (2 adults 2 children) had brunch and bought diner to bring home.

The food ranges from michelinstar (riceballs) to chewy, bland, seventies macrobiotic brick-food (sausage)

Staff was awkward to say the least, although we spent a fortune for 8 full meals, they made us feel it was as a hassle to prepare the plates. Not a smile, not a friendly word... very odd.

Pros: most food is delicious, some of the food is michelin star quality , interesting and surprising range of options

Cons: staff is awkward and not communcative, we felt unwelcome

Absolutely lovely

This shop is a little farther out from the central city area but I definitely recommend going here if you are vegan and find yourself in Florence. It’s a lovely little place with the feel of a mom and pop shop. Food feels more like traditional Florentine food and was all absolutely delicious. The cookies are very good as well. They charge by weight so price varies.

Amazing

Giumella is an amazing vegan italian buffet. Although it is slightly out of the city center, it is so worth it! Seeing as it was near our Airbnb, we ate lunch at Giumella 3 times and loved our food every time. Highly recommend!!

Pros: Entirely vegan; many options, Fresh and healthy options

Lovely vegan buffet

100% vegan. Friendly staff. You choose what you want from the buffet. If you are dining in, your selection is heated in a microwave and served on a cardboard plate with disposable compostable cutlery (presented in a bag made of compostable film). I was sad to create so much rubbish from my single trip! Still, it was great to be able to choose what you want to try from the buffet. Desserts were mainly biscuits with some cheesecake-style cakes. Limited seating - there were only 2 or 3 tables indoors.

Outstanding, healthy vegan food!

The food at guimella was outstanding! The theme is to eat no more than what you are able to fit in your two hands, but I found this hard to do with all the options on the table. You are able to takes samples of various entrees which pair deliciously with the 9 different sauces, all home made. The desert selection was also very good and delicious. The owner is extremely pleasant and helpful. Must have for vegans visiting Florence in my opinion.

Fantastic vegan deli!

Walked 30 mins from central Firenze, nice to see the residential part of the city. Amazing food here and the owner was so nice!! We got a lot of things and were shocked by the low price (by weight)! Savoury bits (pasta, cakes) and desserts (strawberry torte, coffee mousse, and cannoli) were so worth the walk, and the owner threw in the wine for free! A Florentine came in to buy the whole huge tray of pasta. Would return!!

Hearty comfort food

Since you pay by weight, it gets expensive very quick, but everything my wife and I had was absolutely delicious! When you order take away, the prices by weight vary. When you dine in, the price for everything is the same and they give you a bottle of water, cup of tea, or glass of wine.

It felt like we were eating a big, hearty place of comfort food like Thanksgiving dinner.

Absolutely amazing vegan deli with homemade food

If you go to one vegan place in Florence, let it be Giumella! Such a cozy, heart-warming, and delicious spot. Everything is made from scratch and it shows. The owner is incredibly sweet and took the time to patiently explain all the dishes to us as we don't speak Italian. The dishes change each day as they are made fresh, but everything we had was fantastic, including the baked goods (we had biscotti and a savory muffin). You pay by weight, and for a full plate it was around 9 euros. Baked goods were 1-3 each. You can also call ahead and order a lunch box for a cheaper fixed price.

Many locals were clearly coming in to get their food to go but if you dine there, the owner may give you a glass of wine on the house! Can't stress how good this place is - great food and great vibes!

Pros: Delicious, Super kind and helpful owner

Cons: none!

Giumella is wonderful!

We went to Giumella for some desserts for a party, and came away with chessecakes, small pies, and cookies, various flavors and types. The desserts at Giumella are as good or perhaps even better than any vegan restaurant or bakery I have ever tried. For fun, we also got a couple slices of lasagna and some other foods, and wow - amazing! I can't recommend this place enough, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our taxi was taking long to arrive when we were finished, so the women there offered us some delcious cold tea and we sat at one of the four or so tables and enjoyed the good company. I can't wait to order food and desserts from here for an upcoming work function. Try Giumella, you will love it!
