Cute place, get a reservation!

I tried to make a reservation from the US by emailing and message on Facebook but got no response. I was hoping that noon on a Monday would be an ok time to go without one, and they squeezed us in but barely! Food was good, though seitan was kind of gelatinous and a chocolate cake was super dry. Loved the agnolotti with plums.

Good food, plenty of options

Good food, more on the pricey side. Service has a sassy attitude, just get ready for that

Top Notch Spot

Had dinner here last night and it was fantastic. Lots of vegan options. Ordered the sampler menu and loved it. The Seitan Masala is a MUST GET if it’s in the menu. It’s amazing. Also super cute space. You’re literally eating in a book store. Staff is very friendly as well. If you’re in Florence, this is a definite need to go spot.

Upscale veg food in a cute bookshop

Vegetarian but lots of vegan. Need a reservation.
Food was delicious and liked the trio meal so you can try a couple things. Really loved the tortellini and seitan.

Good Food

The food there is pretty good, you just need to have time, they seem to be understaffed

Pros: many vegan options

Cons: it's better to have a reservation

Unique and amazing flavours

Such nice food. I had the tempeh and the tortellini and both were truly next level. The sauces were so nice. My friend had the avocado salad, which is basically half an avo with some really nice sauce. I think my ideal dish would be those three.
Tempeh, tortellini and avo salad.

One of the best veggie restaurant I experienced

Very fine meals with lots of taste
We tried 6 different items all completely different but all very well composed, spiced and overall delicious.
For 18€ you get to choose 3 items of the menu (salad, pasta or rice, other special)
10/10 recommend! ⭐️
The wine is 7€ per glass
2€ for cutlery and water
There was 1 vegan desert when we visited, which we didn’t tried (orange and cream flavours)

Cool place with delicious food

Cool place since it’s also a bookshop and very cozy inside. They have multiple vegan options, including a few pastas. I had the seitan masala which was very good, though it was not a big portion. It’s a popular place so best to make a reservation in advance.

Fun & tasty

We ordered a three-parts-meal that they served at once on a single plate and I loved it. It was very tasty.

It was a fun environment, as it was an artistic bookshop and there was nice music.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly/enthousiastic crew, Delicious

Cons: Small, so make a reservation beforehand, Drinks are not on the menu (prices unclear)

Tasty veg pasta

Came here for lunch without a reservation. My partner and I both got pasta since it was nice to be able to have veg pasta in Italy. Loved both of our dishes. Staff was very friendly and even gave us some other veg recommendations in Italy. Also it’s open on Sundays whereas many other veg options in Florence are not.

Pros: Nice atmosphere , Lots of creative options , Open on Sundays

Lovely bistro

This bistro is inside a library full of alternative and artistic books. Such a calm space and good vibes. The food is very creative and was pretty good! Some items felt a bit over priced due to the small portions, but overall I recommend it for an alternative, local dining experience in Florence!

Pros: Beautiful space , Eclectic food, Nice staff

Cons: Some portions are a bit small

Locale molto bello e personale gentile

Il locale è molto carino e ben curato.
Al contrario di come ho letto in altre recensioni, la cameriera con noi è stata gentilissima e super disponibile. Sono presenti, inoltre, anche diverse opzioni vegane.
Forse l'unica cosa che non ci ha convinte sono le porzioni, perché da una parte il mio piatto (chitarra di pomodori secchi) era molto abbondante, quello della mia amica(tortelloni ripieni) era meno rispetto al mio.
Però la qualità del cibo era comunque molto buona, e i piatti ci hanno soddisfatto.
Abbiamo provato poi un dolce, il crumble di mele, che però non ci è piaciuto molto.

No flavors, bad combos

No flavors in the food, good wine tho. Wierd combos and a meny That is hard to understand. I guess we swedish people have come further in the vegan department with flavors

Pros: Good wine

Cons: No flavors

Une vraie perle cachée !

On sort des sentiers battus avec ce restaurant végétarien caché derrière une belle librairie. A l’abri du tourisme de masse, on a le droit à une ambiance intimiste et des plats excellents à prix raisonnable. L’offre vegan est très variée.

Rivals Michelin star food

We had an amazing dinner here, starting with a shared salad, enjoying two mains and sharing a cake for dessert. These people really know how to cook vegan food. Not only was the atmosphere and presentation on point, the dishes were creative and super flavorful. We recently had a vegan menu prepared at an Italian Michelin rated place and this totally matched or even surpassed that experience (for less than half the price). We did not take advantage of their extensive wine selection, but the two glasses of Sicilian red were also much above average. Best food in Florence!

Pros: Creative and flavorful dishes for fair prices, Friendly service, Beautiful presentation and atmosphere

Cons: Once it got very busy service was quite slow

Brilliant

This was first class food, wine, ambiance and staff. Well done indeed. Big portions, so consider having the smaller portions if wanting two courses.

Pros: Small but good range of choices , Excellent presentation , Quality first class at sensible prices

Cons: Nothing

Terrific food!

Original location and nice atmosphere. We took the "piatto unico" where you get 3 things on the menu in one plate. I highly recommend the seitan, it was so tasty!

Phenomenal dinner

They squeezed us in for a reservation. Incredible food - such amazing flavors. Note that the full menu is vegetarian and about half of it is marked as vegan. We recommend getting the plate where you sample a salad, rice/pasta and special, so you can taste and try more things. Dinner was fast, 90 minutes, as tables were in demand.

Pros: Amazing flavors, Great artsy vibes, Food was fast

Cons: No outdoor seating for full menu, Reservations fill up fast
