I felt like a Florentine

I spent my last evening in Firenze here and I enjoyed an opulent meal. I was so lucky to get a place because I have no reservation.
The crew is very very friendly, the owner or boss a bit loud and special.
The food is amazing and have a high quality.
Everything is vegan and gluten-free.
Good cocktails.
I will come back to Firenze and this great heavenly place.
A had a spinach salad. Very good dressing.
Than carbonara with green asparagus! Delicioussssss!
Best was the cheesecake with berries.
Omg!!!!
The prices are fair and worth it.

Pros: All vegan and gluten-free , Wonderful atmosphere , Great cocktails

Great food, friendly service😀

All vegan restaurant! I had (shared) 4 courses, all of them very good! Also the menu was very creative - not your usual vegan menu at all! We need more places like this. All dishes are gluten free, worked for me, even though I do not avoid gluten.

Pros: All vegan - the "cheeses", too!, Interesting menu, interesting combos, Lots of plants inside

Cons: More on the expensive side, however worth it., Reservations highly recommended

Great for a nice dinner

This is always my go-to restaurant for a nice (italian) dinner for special occasions. It can be pricey sometimes but the food is always amazing. The menu changes pretty frequently, but my favorite dishes from the past were the eggplant Parmesan and the ragú pasta.

Cons: Costoso

Good food

The food was good but the portions not too big. Lunch menu is a bit small & the pasta pesto was tasteless. But the fried mushrooms and patties in curry sauce were good. The waiter was also very nice. Overall, would recommend, but go in the evening when there are more options to choose from.

An incredible experience

I came here for my birthday dinner, and it could not have gone better. We arrived soon after they opened for the night, and they filled up pretty quickly, so definitely make a reservation. The meal was fantastic. Everything is vegan. I had a Tuscan onion soup with vegan pecorino cheese and croutons that was divine. Then a creamy risotto with walnuts as my primi course, and a turnip dish with red cabbage and carrots for the secondi. The flavors were all so creative and surprising. It honestly was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. My husband ordered pears stuffed in Gorgonzola and artichokes, and…something else. We stuffed ourselves, basically. And I’m NOT ashamed!

Oh, and the dessert was equally wonderful. A crème brûlée that was creamy and perfectly-made. And a cheese cake with chocolate that I’ll be dreaming about until I can make it back there.

I should add that the atmosphere was lovely. Hanging plants tastefully-decorated walls. And the service was exceptional. In short, I would recommend this place to anyone I like. I would keep my enemies in the dark, because I am petty like that.

Pros: Delicious vegan food, Lovely atmosphere, Great service

Nice place, good food

One room restaurant, with beautiful plants all over. Interesting menu, but I found the dishes a bit flavorless. Over all 4 stars are well given #Veganuary

Pazzesca

Uno dei ristoranti Veg più suggestivi di Firenze. I nomi dei piatti sul menù contengono parole come “pecorino”, “nduja” e “calamarata”. Ho dovuto chiamare la cameriera per accertarmi che fosse davvero tutto vegan… non ci credevo! 🤩

Consigliato per l’atmosfera, la ricercatezza dei piatti ed i costi adeguati al servizio. #Veganuary

Da migliorare

Menu completamente vegetariano, ma piatti da migliorare. Io e il mio ragazzo abbiamo preso antipasto, primo e secondo e anche un dolce da dividere, spendendo 50 euro a testa e mangiano troppo discretamente. Alcuni ragazzi del personale molto gentili, altri meno.

Pros: Tutte opzioni vegetariane

Cons: Costoso

Good food but pricey

We enjoyed this place and the food we had but we thought the prices were a bit excessive as it's not gourmet or fancy ingredients. We recommend the beans with soy stew and the bread balls.

The wait between courses was also excessive (45 min), which we didn't understand.

Beautiful place and atmosphere.

Pros: Tasty food, Beautiful location

Cons: Expensive, A bit chaotic

Nice food but not pleasant staff

The waitress said everything was vegan (to be confirmed). The food was good but the waitress was not very pleasant. We waited for a very long time for the meal and she never apologized. In the end someone else came and apologized

Pros: Nice place, Good food, All vegan ?

Cons: Not pleasant waitress

Ausgezeichnete Küche

Wir hatten zur Vorspeise die Zucchini Blüten und die Melone/ Grüne Bohnen mit veganem Käse. Dies war beides sensationell. Zur Hauptspeise die Reistagliatelle mit Sesam und die rote Beete Maccaroni. Auch dies war super.

Location ist sehr schön und die Bedienung nett und sympatisch.

Pros: Speisen, Location, Bedienung

Mehr Schein als Sein

Wir haben das Restaurant auf Grund der guten Bewertungen besucht. Das Restaurant hat drin ein sehr schönes Ambiente. Wir haben aber draußen gesessen. Wir hatten 2 verschiedene Vorspeisen. Einmal die frittierten Zucchiniblüten (3/5) und dann die Melone mit veg. Käse (2/5). Die Vorspeise mit Melone war nicht ganz im Einklang. Die Idee ist gut, aber daran muss noch gearbeitet werden. Als Hauptgericht hatten wir Rote Beete Maccaroni (3/5) und Rice Tagliatelle (2/5). Die Maccaroni haben ein wenig zusammengeklebt und das Gericht war kalt. Die Rice Tagliatelle war zur Verwunderung ein asiatisches Gericht mit Petersilie (ein No-Go) und für den Preis übertrieben. Das würde ich von der Karte eher streichen, denn für italienische Verhältnisse war das eher ein Bistro-Style-Gericht. Die Bedienung war erst nett, aber hat dann unsere Reiseroute schlecht geredet. Sehr unangenehm. Dann war die Bedienung überfordert mit dem Aufkommen der Gäste. Es wurde auch nicht gefragt, ob das Gericht geschmeckt hat - ansonsten hätten wir unsere Kritik Vorort geäußert.

Pros: Interior drin sehr schön, kleine Karte

Cons: Teuer
