Good food

I enjoyed the gnocchi with red pesto.
The 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

O M G Vegan tiramisu! 🤤 Creamy deliciousness. Cake just right, not soggy. Best I've ever had.

I 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

Cheap and tasty

We got the truffle carbonara, ravioli, seitan with gravy and potato, tirimasu and chocolate and pear pie. All was 5/5

The truffle pasta of my dreams

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.

Pros: Easy to make on-line reservation, Outdoor seating, Good local beer

Solid but that's all

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

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"... .
the 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

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.
Their 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.

Awesome delicious food

We stayed in Florence for 5 days and ate at this beautiful restaurant almost every night. The food is amazing and super tasty! Our favorites were seitan in crust, eggplant parmigiana and spaghetti carbonara.

Good food, I had the opportunity to try a few dishes and their pasta dishes are by far their best offering. Really friendly staff and nice location next to Sina Villa Medici hotel.

Great menu

We loved this restaurant and went both nights we were in Florence! The menu is absolutely huge and a good mix of vegetable based dishes plus meat substitute dishes too. Tiramisu was amazing.

Pros: Tiramisu!, Ravioli

Good food

Nice vegan plates. I'll recommnd the second plates, not the primary one as it is just pasta or rice and i was disappointed by the classic taste. Seitan was good. Did not had time to take desert.
I did not get that on the menu it says that some plates can be not vegan.. did not find any though.

Probably the best vegan restaurant

We had the truffle carbonara, which was the best pasta we’ve had get in Italy, and the seitan crumb which was cheesy but still good.
Both also had tirasmisu which was good.

I hesitate giving this a 5 as it still wasn’t ‘amazing’ compared to say the vegan food in London, just the best we’ve come across in Florence, so worth being top of the happy cow list.

My favourite vegan spot in Florence!

I came here based on the recommendations on here and it did not disappoint! Was so lovely to look at a menu and have so much choice. Lots of classic Italian dishes veganised, such as ravioli, carbonara and deserts!

I had a vegan carbonara and a tiramisu and it was delicious. One of the best meals I had! I have seen a couple of people complaining about slow service etc but the people who work here, work very hard and I appreciated them a lot as it was pretty busy on our visit! The young man is particularly helpful and explained to us how the vegan parmesan was made etc..

Such a hidden gem, recommend it to anyone looking for good vegan food in florence ☺️

Pros: Amazing food, So many options, Affordable

Big recommendation!

We had the Carbonara with truffles and the ravioli with soy ragu. As dessert, we had Tiramisu and apple pie. Everything was quite nice, especially for the price, but the Carbonara was really really good, I wish I could take a few kilos of that stuff home. If you like truffles, I can really recommend it!
The truffle pasta was a nice big portion, while the ravioli was a bit small.

Pros: Great truffle dishes, Good prices

Great food

We came here for early lunch, the place is really nice and spacious inside, the service was quick and food was delicious. Artichoke cream rice which was so so tasty and “cheesy” and meatballs were really good. Would totally recommend this place.

Delicious!

Service was prompt and helpful. Very clean throughout. Reasonably priced. The only problem was it all sounded delicious and we ordered way too much for the 2 of us as portions are very generous. We had ravioli, eggplant parmesan, seitan cooked in Chianti, seitan stroganoff, roast potatoes (some came with the Chianti seitan but we ordered more being piggy) and roast veggies. Couldn’t order desert as we were too full but hope to go back tonight!! Highly recommend!
