Amazing. Just amazing.

Probably the best place we visited in our entire Europe trip.

1. 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!

Amazing vegan restaurant!

I went with a friend and the food was absolutely delicious and really nice and cheesy. We were too full to order a second plate but got dessert instead which was really tasty as well. I would highly recommend this place and I would definitely come back here again.

Pros: All vegan, Delicious food , Very affordable

Delicious food!

Very tasty appetizers, primo and secondo. Nice portions. In compare to other restaurants in Florence, it's very cheap. Truly recommend, you will find italian food, but also some other dishes. Everything vegan! Also good wine and desserts. Place is quite big, so you should find free table without any problems.

Amazing food and service

Love the vibe of this place - definitely needs a more central location as couldn't understand why it was so quiet! Food was amazing and servers were lovely.

Good but not great

Il menù sembra essere completamente vegano. Ho ordinato una carbonara tartufata e un contorno di verdure grigliate. La porzione della pasta era abbastanza abbondante. Tutto molto buono ma nulla di straordinario, mi aspettavo forse un po' di più.

Fine

Honestly expected a bit more, but if you have health concerns this apparently salt free place may be for you. The staff were nice enough, but the music was like a spa on a strange loop. Not bad, just bland and the bread was cardboard.
Really wanted to like it more then I did.

Pros: Pastas were ok

Cons: Bread , Lack of taste

Good food, *mostly* vegan

I say mostly vegan because they do have items that may contain milk on their menu, but they clearly label allergens on eat food item. The staff was very patient with us as we know very limited Italian, but they have English menu is available if needed. They have quite an extensive menu and the staff were very friendly. The restaurant itself had a beautiful atmosphere. We got the pasta parcels for an appetizer, which was very good but had what appeared to be a “deconstructed” presentation, so we were not quite sure how to properly eat it (this is our own fault for not asking as we had never heard of this before. I’m sure our server would have happily helped us but we were stubbornly trying to figure it out on our own). For our main course we got the ravioli and truffle carbonara. The portions were on the smaller side but the food was filling. The ravioli was pretty good but the sauce was a bit lack-luster for me. They use vegan prosociano cheese which added a nice flavor. I definitely recommend the truffle carbonara! It was so creamy and delicious! We got three desserts: the vanilla pudding, chocolate-pear cake, and laddu. The pudding had a strong but lovely vanilla flavor. The chocolate-pear cake had a nice moist texture and came warm which made it even more decadent. We were not familiar with laddu prior to this, but it was very good! Our server told us they make it using chickpeas and cocoa. It was the consistency of fudge, had a light chocolate flavor and not too sweet. The pudding and the laddu are quite small portions, so if you are splitting dessert with a companion I recommend getting two items.

Pros: Clearly labeled allergens on menu, Extensive menu, Friendly staff

Cons: Smaller portions

Very good!

We where there for lunch. As a starter we had the Calabrese salad. It was good, even than the cheese was grated.
Then we tried spaghetti carbonara (so delicious!) and ravioli, also very good, but for us too small portion.
As a dessert we had a chocolate-pear cake. Could be maybe a little more creamy.
The stuff was very friendly.
When we stayed there many seats in the big room where free, so it was not that cozy.
On menu there is a symbol for non vegan dishes, but we couldn't find it on a dish, so we would say this place is completely vegan.

Pros: Very tasty, Great options

Food was great; service was not

Note: They're not 100% Vegan. They have dairy on the menu for drinks!

Refused to provide me with tap-water (bottle only) and they still wanted to charge me for the cover-charge.
The gnocci however was delicious.

Pros: Good food

Cons: Didn't provide tapwater. Would only provide bottle

Una piacevolissima scoperta

Quanto sono contenta di essere andata in questo posto! Tutto quello che ho provato era buonissimo, porzioni abbondanti e prezzi onesti. La carbonara è strepitosa, così come il seitan che ho provato in 3 versioni diverse. Anche i dolci molto buoni! Super approvato anche dagli onnivori, non vedo l’ora di tornarci.

Great Vegan food in convenient Florence location

We went with a party of seven. Everyone loved their food. We ordered apps, first course, second course, desserts, wine, beer, and side dishes. Bigger portions than we expected, although we ate everything. Especially great was eggplant, meatballs, and Italian beer.

Pros: All Vegan , Great Prices, Great Service

A lovely funky place.

Was served by an older couple who were lovely and could accommodate my broken Italian with their limited English. I had the truffle pasta which was very delicious. Also had the seitan steak with the gravy and enjoyed that less. It was a bit sour but the potatoes were lovely!
Everything seemed vegan

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice service

Delicious italian food!

This restaurant is beautiful, clean and the food is delicious. I highly recommend the carbonara and the ravioli. The sauces had lots of flavor and the pasta was really fresh. The tiramisu was small but tasty. This was the best vegan Italian food we had throughout all of Italy!!

Pros: Delicious italian food

Many options

We had the pasta parcels and two seitan dishes.
We did not overly enjoy the dishes. They were not bad, but also not really to our taste. Maybe we should have ordered something from the prima piati as well. They definitely had lots of vegan options. I am not sure if the whole restaurant is vegan though, the menu said that non-vegan items would be marked specifically.
It was a little pricey.
The restaurant had a very relaxing atmosphere.

Pros: Extensive vegan menu

Cons: Quite pricey
