I would come again - Edit
I deliberately ordered two small (waiter-chosen) meals, hi that I could experience more than just one flavour/dish.
Read moreThe first, a cabanara, was really yummy, but a little salty. The other, "meat" balls was delicious.
Topped off nicely by some warm apple pie.
The owner was super friendly and helpful, as was the Georgian waitstaff.
I would come again.
Edit:
I did go again... the following evening, with some friends. The food was sooo good. My vegan-friendly vegetarian friends were so impressed.

Some Vegan Options - Edit
Currently, the restaurant is considered to be 100% vegan. When we went there in July 2019, the waiter commented that the tiramisu was not vegan (we didn't eat it because of this). But the owner confirmed in the messages below that the restaurant is 100% vegan. A bit far from the center in Florence's hot summer. We ordered a gnocchi. It was a very small dish with a reasonably high price for the quantity, but it was super tasty. I think it was worth the experience. The waiter spoke good English and attended to us very well. We ordered a natural orange juice, but it was expensive compared to Brazilian prices. The bill included VAT of 20%. On the day, we had understood that this was the tip, but it isn't, according to the owner's comment. We didn't return to the restaurant again during our stay in Florence.

Mas o proprietário confirmou nas mensagens abaixo que o restaurante é 100% vegano. Um pouco afastado do centro no verão quente de Florença. Pedimos um gnocchi. Era um prato muito pequeno com um preço razoavelmente alto para a quantidade, mas estava super saboroso. Acho que valeu a experiência. O atendente falava bem inglês e nos atendeu muito bem. Pedimos um sumo de laranja natural, mas era caro comparado com os preços brasileiros. Na conta, consta o IVA de 20%. No dia, havíamos entendido que era a gorjeta, mas não é, segundo o comentário do proprietário. Acabou que não voltamos mais ao restaurante durante nossa estadia em Florença.

Hi! The menu is all Vegan….. the 20% is the VAT, italian name is IVA. Here if one people want give a tip he is free to do .
Read moreI'm sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you very much for the review

Thank you for your feedback. At the time, in 2019, the attendant commented that the tiramisù was not 100% vegan. How nice then that it isn't anymore! At the time, I had understood that this 20% was a tip, but now I understand that it is the VAT tax.

Must try!! - Edit
I’ve been vegan for five years and this is the best carbonara I have ever tried. I ordered the carbonara truffle and I know I’m gonna come back to Florence just to try it again! The waiters were very very nice and the prices are cheap for where you are and what you’re getting. You can’t miss it.

Great food, but that's it. - Edit
The food is great and not expensive at all. That's where the compliments end on my part.
Read moreThe service here is pretty slow and full of mistakes. We were given someone else's appetizer before we had ordered anything and were charged for it after, even though it was presented to us as a welcome bite or something like that. The toilet was unusably dirty.

Pasta dishes were delicious (specifically the gnocchi and ravioli), although they were on the heavy side. The gnocchi is spicy! Also got the vegan tiramisu which was good.

The food was outstanding. As another poster has said, our waiter was an adorable old Italian man. His English was not the best, but much better than our Italian!
Read moreWe ordered Carbonara with Truffles as well as Rice with Artichokes. We had eggplant as a second dish. The rice was fine but the other 2 dishes were perfect.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Lots of Italian options. , It was good value.

Super lecker und freundliches Personal - Edit
Das Restaurant liegt etwas im grünen, was für Florenz Innenstadt wirklich besonders ist. Die Bedienung ist wirklich sehr freundlich, sogar die Köchin kam raus und hat uns zugewunken. Die Karte ist für Veganer mehr als geeignet - es ist eine Ausnahme, etwas nicht veganes zu finden (nicht vegane Speisen/Getränke sind gekennzeichnet). Selbst der Parmesan ist vegan und super authentisch! Rundum ein super Restaurant. Zudem ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut, wir haben für 0,5L Wein, 1L Wasser, 4 Hauptgerichte und 1 Nachtisch ca. 55€ bezahlt.
Read moreSehr zu empfehlen!
Die Bilder zeigen ein 100% veganes Menü.
1) veganes tagliatelle mit Trüffelsoße
2) veganes Filet auf Saitan Basis
3) Gemüse (Zucchini und Aubergine)

This restaurant was everything a vegan could dream of! The whole menu was vegan which gave me so many options I had trouble choosing! They have appetizers, main courses, second courses, and desert. Of course also vegan wine. The food was delicious and filling. The staff is also extremely friendly. I left this restaurant feeling happy! Would definitely go again!

Huge range of very good Italian classics - Edit
Went here twice while in Florence, as the menu is huge and so much looks good.
Read moreMy favourites would be the tagliatelle with truffle (delish, very good pasta texture), spaghetti amatriciano (very nice and simple tomato based sauce), and spaghetti carbonara with veg (very good, peppery, but which actually didn't have veg, but quite chewy bacon squares).
We also had the cotoletta alla milanese of seitan, which was good and lightly battered but not much flavour.
The caprese salad was made with good tomato and rocket, but the cheese didn't add much flavour.
The soy meatballs were actually zucchini balls, quite mushy and bland, and not what I expected at all. I couldn't finish them.
The tiramisu was okayyyy, it just had way too much cream, which was also a thin texture.
The serves are big, especially for how inexpensive the prices are.
Also the menu states "all the menu is vegan, except for some small dishes marked by no vegan symbol", but the symbol didn't appear anywhere on the menu. Also in Italy, restaurants must state if foods contain certain common allergens (eg. Milk) but the menu doesn't have milk listed as a possible allergen in any of their dishes.
Pros: Delicious pasta, Very affordable, Quick service
Cons: Some descriptions aren't very accurate

Fantastico! - Edit
Great food and extensive menu. Tagliatelle, ravioli, escalope, amatriciana … anything you’re looking for it’s here. The ravioli was delicate and perfectly balanced. The amatriciana was silky with the right amount of peppery bite, and the eggplant Parmesan was *chefs kiss*. Great family run place and just a quick walk from Santa Maria Novella.

The entire menu is vegan 'except for a few items which are marked as non vegan', so the menu says. But I didn't see any non vegan items.
Read moreWe shared the Tagliatelle Tarturo and the Basmati Funghi. They were both delicious, but my favourite was the basmati fungi. It was so, so tasty.
The young waiter was lovely. He practised his English and I practised my Italian and somehow we got through.

Delicious Vegan Pasta Dishes - Edit
We had the ravioli, spaghetti amatriciana, eggplant parm, and the tofu cake. The ravioli were fantastic- so full of flavor with lots of basil and they were stuffed with spinach ricotta (soy). The eggplant parm was great too- with lots of cheese! The tofu cake was interesting but delicious- kinda like a pudding cake, not quite cheesecake texture but the chocolate crust & raspberry glaze were delicious.
