Amazing. Just amazing. - Edit
Probably the best place we visited in our entire Europe trip.
Read more1. Janhavi and her parents were the most courteous hosts ever.
2. The food was amazing. The entire menu was vegan and our dietary restrictions were taken into consideration too!
3. The place is very easily accessible from Florence train station
We visited the place thrice during our time in Florence and we were never disappointed. The food and the service: top-notch. And most importantly, the people: kind and extremely humble.
We'll be sure to recommend Nirvana to anyone who'll be visiting Florence in the future.
Pros: Vegan Food, Jain (no onion, no garlic) options available, Easily accessible
Cons: None!

Couldn’t be better! - Edit
I loved it! There are LOTS of options, the dishes are big, price is fair, the place is cozy and huge, all the workers (especially the waiter who attended me) were super nice… I just really enjoyed the meal and I am looking forward to getting there back!

Valida alternative veg ma... - Edit
Il locale era piuttosto buio e con un arredamento un po' discutibile.
Read moreIl cibo non era male, ma gli spaghetti ai tartufi purtroppo erano scotti e in generale la qualità non era eccelsa.
Nel complesso era buono però si può trovare di meglio.
Forse andrebbe ridotta la scelta, comunque molto ampia, dando precedenza alla qualità. #Veganuary

Salve!!! Purtroppo noi più che accendere le 24 luci che abbiamo nella nostra piccola sala, non possiamo fare…. Potessi mettere i fari puntati sulla gente che lo desidera lo farei…. Mi dispiace tanto che non apprezzi preparazioni tutte non surgelate e soprattutto espresse… l unica cosa che mi dispiace…. Che purtroppo tanti vegani stanno chiudendo, e invece di tutelarli li criticate…. Le consiglio di dire direttamente in faccia ai titolari quando si trova male nei locali invece di fare il leone da tastiera

Excellent options and relaxing place - Edit
The spot is out of the busy streets and offers lots of seats. You are welcome by very gentle staff and guided in recommendations you can trust with a blind eye. I went few times to try other dishes and loved the roast seitan cooked with Chianti: it melted in the mouth

Favorite place in Firenze - Edit
Liked everything about the place! The food was excellent , with a lot of good choice. It was really tasty and healthy (best carbonara and tiramisu ever since vegan) and the vibe of the place was also very restful! Very pleasant within a big city as is Firenze.

So good and great prices!! - Edit
I love the big menu of all options! Everything is vegan😍🥹 The Seitan and tiramisu are so good…went back twice for it. I will say my only negative comment is the free bread they provide - it’s not that good.
Read moreIt is a little quiet but maybe later in the night it brightens up more? I’ll be back before I leave Florence..

Did not meet expectations - Edit
The truffle spaghetti was too truffle-y. You'd expect some truffle on top, but this was heavily loaded with truffle oil. Tiramisu was not what you'd expect in Italy.
Read moreJana87!
because you said to me , it was all good and you even finished it!!!! we don't use truffle oil!!!!!!!! be careful what you write...
Read moreJana87!
I forgot to remind you that the traditional tiramisu you say is with eggs and has milk. ours is entirely vegan. Thank you anyway for the 3 stars

For the record, I've been vegan 6+ years now and I don't remember what 'regular' tiramusi tastes like. My comparison is related to other vegan ones I've tried. I was not by any chance dissing your business or the food in general, It was a mere expression of my personal food taste, and we are all entitled to have our own opinions/preferences.

Good food - Edit
I enjoyed the gnocchi with red pesto.
Read moreThe seitan with white beans was also good, but less exiting.
Tiramisu was a bit watery I think (though I don't remember how it should taste), but was quite light so perfect as dessert.
The place itself isn't cozy.

Tiramisu! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Edit
O M G Vegan tiramisu! 🤤 Creamy deliciousness. Cake just right, not soggy. Best I've ever had.
Read moreI also tried the carbonara with truffles. Very good. Served with vegan parmesan. (First time Ive been offered vegan parmesan in Italy, think I will have to start traveling with nutritional yeast 😉)
Great service. Sorry I will not be able to try this restaurant a few more times before leaving Florence.
Pros: Tiramisu!, So many options - all vegan!, Great service

The truffle pasta of my dreams - Edit
The ruffle tagliatelle was a hearty portion full of flavor. The grilled vegetable side dish was less successful as it was completely unadorned by seasoning, and the eggplant was slightly bitter.

Solid but that's all - Edit
Huge variety of vegan dishes. The food is solid, but there is nothing to remember.. nothing that stands out. Prices are fair, and the service is friendly.

Pros: All vegan restaurant, Lots of dishes, The Parmigiano
Cons: Food is ordinary, Bread needed more salt and wasn't fresh
Jana87!
good morning, I'm sorry that you have nothing to remember, because every preparation requires hours of work...... also I'm sorry that I also asked you if you liked it and you said "everything's fine"... .
Read morethe seitan you ate is produced by hand by us
It's impossible for a person who eats vegan not to notice it
bread is bought every day!! it is a Tuscan bread, Tuscan bread is famous because it is without salt, I also remind you that it is also free
Having said that, I'm sorry that it wasn't to your liking
have a good time

Delicious - Edit
We have been to a lot of Italy so far but this was our first vegan restaurant so it was such a relief to have vegan options like ravioli and caprese! Anyway the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I want to try all the vegan restaurants in Florence but I’m tempted to go back here because it was so nice.
Read moreTheir menu did have a note saying “if something isn’t vegan it will be marked” but then nothing was marked on the menu as not vegan? So I don’t know what that implies. Anyway it was great.
