Perfectly fine

As it’s almost 100% vegan there was lots of choice. Food was perfectly fine (we had lasagne and ravioli) but nothing special. Service was attentive and friendly.

Traditional food

Enjoyed all the food we had here. The peasant seitan and roast potatoes were amazing. All the food was tasty. Shame it was so quiet but we did visit out of the tourist season.

Pros: Good menu , Good prices, Nice fiod

Italian nirvana for vegan?

We had the carbonara alla truffe and the spaghetti amatriciana which were basic but nice. The truffle flavour is light. The pastas are even served with a vegan parmigiana cup to spread on your plate!
We had the tiramisu and the chocolate torta with pears for dessert. I did not really felt the coffee in it but it still was nice.

Pros: Nice and discreet staff, helpful , Nice place , Not expensive

Great options!

Edit- the best place in Florence!! The food & staff were amazing. I had the soup & red pesto gnocchi. My boyfriend ordered a ton of things off the menu as well!

Da provare!

Non posso che aggiungere l ennesima recensione positiva per questo adorabile ristorante. Tutto ottimo e ingredienti freschissimi per piatti tradizionali in chiave veg.
Provate il tiramisù perché è spaziale.

didn't live up to the hype

The location is good, less than 10 minutes walk from the main railway station. Staff are very friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable.
Lasagne was average and the seitan was a bit salty for me.
I think if the food was made fresh, and if the seitan had salad with it might have tasted better, balance out the saltiness.

Good food but nothing special

We took the soy-meat balls and the black cabbage rice. Then two deserts (Laddu & Apple pie). The food was good and there were some gluten free options, which we appreciated.

Pros: Gluten free options , Tasty , Good service

Cons: Nothing special

Super nett

Wir hatten ein vorgegebenes 4-Gänge-Menü, das sehr lecker war. Vorallem die Vorspeise & die Nachspeise waren top. Das einzige, was ich kritisieren würde, war, dass es im Lokal etwas kühl war. (wir waren im Feber 2024 dort) Die Angestellten sind freundlich & bemüht & vom Preis her war alles im allen total passend.

Underwhelming

We were really excited after reading the reviews here, all the bigger was our disappointment when we got our orders. The carbonara was a tad too salty, but otherwise fine, not exciting though. The other dish had seitan, which unfortunately had a strange watery texture and with the sauce that came with it, tasted off. We sent it back and ordered a burger instead, which turned out to be only a burger patty with sauce and potatoes and green salad on the side, but no bun. No big deal, just ... odd, it tasted okay. We were tempted to try their tiramisu, but didn't wanna challenge our luck another time, so left without dessert.

Such a pity, wasted potential. Maybe a reduced menu would allow them to focus more on the quality and taste of their dishes. Also, it might be helpful to have a description of the dishes. On the English menu at least, they only name the dishes, but there are no details as to what ingredients there are.

I'll start by telling her that it's not a fast food!! all preparations are made in an artisanal way and on the spot!
this restaurant is not touristy, that's why it doesn't find the images.
he tasted the seitan (which I remember he didn't know what it was) and without saying anything, but only at the waiter's request, as to why he left it, it was deducted from his bill and replaced with the vegan burger.
maybe he didn't realize that it's a vegan restaurant.....
I am for and support all vegan restaurants in the world!! always and only GO VEGAN

Wholesome & Delicious

Enjoyed a lovely, quiet dinner at Nirvana. I had a big bowl of vegetable soup, which was a full meal, and my husband had the tofu and stewed vegetables. We shared the chocolate and pear torta for dessert.

Couldn’t be better!

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...

Il locale era piuttosto buio e con un arredamento un po' discutibile.
Il 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
Un caro saluto dallo staff

Che dire, il cibo è buonissimo e l'atmosfera rilassatissima. Ci sono stato due volte e ho anche conosciuto la cuoca, che sarà felice di illustrarvi le sue creazioni.

Excellent options and relaxing place

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

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!!

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.
It 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

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.

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...

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.
