Delicious and economical

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.
We 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.

Pros: Almost fully vegan, The flavours, Friendly staff

Suuuupeeeer ricooo

Taglietella al tartufo, Spaghettis a la carbonara , rissotto con crema de alcachofas y tiramisu esas fueron nuestras elecciones y súper top. Nos fuimos llenos y encantadisimos.
Mi pareja no vegana es un loco del parmesano y al probar el que nos pusieron dudamos tanto que tuvimos que preguntar al camarero y confirmar que era vegano! Delicioso!

El personal atento y amable.
Muy recordable!!

Pros: Muy rico , Variedad , Amabilidad

Delicious Vegan Pasta Dishes

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.

Yummy pasta

I ordered both ravioli and carbonara which were very yummy. The prices are okay and not pricey. The place is a bit sketchy but not too bad . Would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: A lot to choose from the menu, Okay prices, Very kind staff

Cons: Sketchy place

Ottimo!

Consigliatissimo questo posto vicino all'Arno e a due passi del centro. Siamo stati a cena è siamo rimasti colpiti per la quantità di piatti presenti nel menù. La scelta è veramente molto ampia!! (Forse il restante vegano con più piatti dove sia stata).
Abbiamo preso un Thali con tanti assaggi proposti dalla cuoca ed erano tutti buonissimi! Poi mio marito ha preso una carbonara veg ed io Strogonof. Molto buono tutto. Come dolci presi tiramisù e tofu cake ai mirtilli. Speciali!
Anche il cameriere molto gentile e il servizio è stato molto veloce.

Really enjoyable meal

Friendly staff. So nice to go to a restaurant where only a few items on the menu are noted as not vegan rather than visa versa.

Pros: Good staff, Good value

Un bel endroit

Pleins de choix typiquement italien mais en version vegane. Cela fait très plaisir.
J'ai pris les pâtes carbonara vegane qui sont avec du seitan. C'est très bon et copieux. Mon conjoint a pris des pâtes sauce à la truffe. C'était très goutu également. Une bonne expérience.

Tasty Food!

Really enjoyed our meal here!! We ordered a carbonara and a carbonara with truffle. Both delicious. We had a tiramisu each for dessert which was delicious. We also found the drinks to be nice and cheap (€3 for 0.25l house wine).

The menu looked really interesting with lots of pasta dishes that would be hard for vegans to find elsewhere. There was a symbol in the key which indicted when a dish was not vegan but it didn’t turn up anywhere in the actual menu so everything was vegan!

We would definitely come back here if we had time. Really good food, good prices and super lovely staff.

Fully positive experience about Nirvana

Extensive menu, calm atmosphere. and good service. Had both ravioli (with soy ragu) and pasta carbonara and enjoyed both. Tofu cake was an inspiring surprise. We were two persons and both had three course meals with only 45 euros altogether. Can recommend wholeheartedly!

Nice place

The interior is nice, the waiter was heartbreaking sweet. Old man mumbling Italian - but we managed to order😄 the food was good. I had risotto cavolo nero and seitan alla calabrese and finished with tiramisu. The price is very fair. We paid 48€ for three courses for two persons beer

Pros: Warm atmosphere , Price

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
