Experience full of contrasts. - Edit
Experience full of contrasts.
Read moreOn one hand, the food: excellent! Quality ingredients, right portions and let me say it: finally a restaurant that doesn't overdo it with oil and salt! Amazing lasagna and for dessert the best vegan tiramisu I've ever tasted.
The place is small and informal with 80s and 90s music in the background that is very pleasant and relaxing.
Unfortunately the service has some flaws: excessively slow, some small inaccuracies and managing to call the waiter every time is always a challenge. He should be the one to come to you and not the other way around. I think the problem could be easily solved by increasing the staff.
Average prices.
Pros: Good, tasty, quality food
Cons: Service
Veggy Days
Ciao! Siamo contenti che il cibo e il locale ti siano piaciuti! Devo però farti notare che il giorno in cui sei venuto c'era una sola persona a servire tutta la sala, perchè l'altra era malata e non c'è stato il tempo di trovare un sostituto. In questi casi basta solo avere un pò di pazienza. Inoltre noi siamo un bistrot e non un ristorante tradizionale. In genere è il cliente che deve chiamare se vuole altre cose oltre a quelle già servite. Facciamo il possibile per accontentare sempre tutti al meglio, ma nei limiti del fatto che siamo un piccolo ed economico bistrot, non un ristorante stellato.

delicious food - Edit
firstly: everything we had at il vegano was delightful. what we had was very tasty and hearty: the lasagne and goulash with seitan… highly recommend. the reasons behind deducting a star were: too noisy music, smallish portions and lack of a side salad… only a few leaves of rocket. overall though the food was fab. the restaurant is very close to the accademia where david is too.

Tagliatelle was magnificent! - Edit
Exactly what I was looking for. Homemade tagliatelle. One of the best pasta dishes I have found in Italy. Cheese cake was good too. Friendly staff, English speaking, highly recommend.

I cannot rate the food - Edit
It pains me to say this, but cannot rate this food. The rating is forcing us to allocate 2 stars, otherwise we will rate it with zero stars.
Read moreThe prices are ok, the service is ok, the food was awful and the place is smelly.
I think they need a cook or a chef, as I doubt that they have either.
Even found a bit of aluminium in my food.
Presentation of food is also not great.
Tagliatelle were flavourless, lasagna a bit salty and not so well presented, yet the most tasty of the foods we ate there. We had other items on the list which were a bit salty and not very appetising.
The house red wine was warm and sour and the coffee was just awful with a burnt taste to it. I wouldn’t recommend any tourist visiting Florence to go to this place.
Sadly I had more flavourful vegan appetisers, salads, soups and main dishes in mixed food restaurants / cafes in
Florence.
The 4.5 star rating completely messed us up, otherwise if people who did not enjoy this place will take the time to post we wouldn’t have wasted our time to go there.
Pros: Affordable prices, Good service
Cons: Food was terrible , Food was either flavourless or salty, Smelly cafe.

My dear, this long-winded assessment of yours is only YOUR and I repeat YOUR impression.
Read moreThe food we gave you was as it should be, neither tasteless nor salty. In fact, EVERYONE likes it and I repeat all the other customers. I don't know why you got so angry with us, you probably have your own reasons. And in any case, the only smelly thing inside our place was you....

I have never read such an unprofessional and rude comment from a restaurant owner, I will definitely avoid this restaurant if this is how criticism is handled

Gorgeous food, great service - Edit
The service was amazing and the flavours in each dish gave an authentic taste with a flare. I got a lasagne, I also tried the eggplant parmaggio and the croquettes, all were very very delicious!
Read moreThe price was good too and the atmosphere was really lovely! I loved the little library of vegan-themed books you could read inside!
Pros: Atmosphere , Flavour , Customer service

Just ok - Edit
We both got the beyond burger, which was pretty small(tiny patty on a big bun). It was average. Cheesecake was very good. Rest of menu didn’t look worth ordering to us.

The burger is like this, we don't make it. We only make the bun, but the vegetable patty is exactly standard in size. There are no larger ones. It's 200 grams, it seems enough, right? We're happy you liked the cheesecake. For the rest of the menu, it will mean that we will take better photos especially for you, since you are obviously so superficial that you only base your opinion on the appearance of things.

Great food, served fast - Edit
The Happy Cow synopsis considers Il Vegano "fast food", but I found that it's great food served fast.
Read moreThe food was so good and consistent, that we dined here 5 out of the 7 nights of our stay in Florence. The ambiance was as spartan as the food was tasty, but it was fine for what we needed. Service was prompt and courteous. One nice thing was that the menu was up on the menu and had PHOTOS of every dish, making choosing both hard and easy, as everything looked good.
Pros: food quality, service, pricing

Buono - Edit
Buono ma può migliorare. Il servizio è stato veloce e il personale cordiale. La lasagna molto buona ma più che al ragù di seitan era al pomodoro. Il tiramisù mancava di caffè.

Average food I could have cooked myself - Edit
Service was prompt and quick, plenty of seating though we were asked to book ahead as there were 4 of us. Food was very basic, nothing special - reminded me of something I'd cook in my student days.

Wow! So you are a very good student-cook! I'm sorry that the level was not up to your expectations. I remind you that you had dinner for about 10 euros....

Beware of Closing Time - Edit
Their hours are listed that they are open until 10pm. We arrived at 9:10pm, on a Friday night, and was informed they were closing their kitchen and we would not be able to dine there. We had walked a long way to get there and were quite disappointed we wouldn't be able to support a vegan restaurant we were looking forward to trying.
Read moreCons: Hours, Customer service
Veggy Days
It happened that on rare occasions we had to close a little earlier due to force majeure. However, not at 21:10 as you said.
Read moreIt is advisable, after 21:00, to call us first if you come from far away.
