Best vegan place in Firenze - Edit
Ravioli with soy ragu was tasty. Prices are very reasonable. Staff can speak English if Italian is not your first language. Some Italian locals eating here which was a good sign.

Buena comida italiana - Edit
Tienen platos italianos en su versión vegana. Probamos la lasaña, la carbonara veg y los gnocchis al pesto rosso, y de postre el tiramisú. Estaba todo muy bueno.

Nice it’s all vegan, but underwhelming - Edit
I was so excited to visit Nirvana Veg bc it’s all vegan! I will say there are a lot of options (which is always nice anytime us vegans get that), but it did not live up to the hype of being simply amazing. It is a solid option for sure, but not what I had expected. I really enjoyed the tagliatelle with mushrooms, and the carbonara was a close 2nd. The charcuterie starter was also pretty good. Neither my husband nor I ate the eggplant Parmesan…which is rare bc we don’t like to waste food, but it just really was not good. It’s quite an informal atmosphere. We ate just after lunch opening, and there were 2 other customers the whole time we ate, so it’s probably a place you can stop at last minute without a reservation (but that might have just been the day we were there). Would typically give 3 stars, but giving 4 bc it’s a fully vegan restaurant in Florence, which is rare.

A must visit! - Edit
I had the carbonara for my main and the tiramisu for dessert. Thoroughly enjoyed both dishes and the staff are extremely friendly! Absolutely worth the visit!

Decent meal - Edit
Lots of meal options but almost too many, no theme to the menu and no descriptions, so was difficult to know what you were ordering. Bit of a strange vibe and was very quiet with no music. Went with the truffle carbonara and the ragu ravioli which were quite nice. The tiramisu was ok although didn’t taste like a tiramisu. Highlight was the tofu cake which was like a cross between cheesecake and crème caramel. Presentation of food could be better.

Salve!!grazie per averci recensito!! Come ha detto… noi non siamo un ristorante turistico ma familiare, quindi le foto dei piatti non le trova… se cercava questo doveva andare in posti più centrali… inoltre noi la musica la mettiamo dalle 9 del mattino, perché ci rilassa… poi ci può essere una svista, siamo umani no?!

Couldn’t really think of any cons for this place. the staff was also nice and made sure we were looked after.

Bodenständig lecker - Edit
Gutes veganes Restaurant mit bodenständigem leckerem Essen. Wir hatten den Humus mit Papadom, Spaghetti mit Trüffelcarbonara und die Ravioli mit Ragout, welche sehr tomatig waren. Die Nudeln waren etwas zu weit, aber alles in Allem lecker. Der Apfelkuchen war OK, leider mit Puderzucker und Karamellsauce ertänkt, sodass man den eigentlichen Geschmack des Kuchens nicht mehr wahrnahm.
Read moreWir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und weitere Gerichte kosten.
Pros: Die Auswahl, Die Freundlichkeit, Der Preis
Cons: Es war leider sehr kalt im Restaurant

Nice but overhyped - Edit
I tried the cabonara with truffle, the pastry pocket and tiramisu and it was ok but not crazy. The pastry pockets were cold and the pasta came too quick after the first dish - well during it. The staff was super friendly and super quick. Too quick. I was almost the only person. Pretty sad for such a great taste experience and amazing service. The ambience inside is done by heart but dark and gigantic. Eating outside ( 2 tables) is loud. The building of the restaurant is very beautiful!

Amazing. Just amazing. - Edit
Probably the best place we visited in our entire Europe trip.
Read more1. 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!

Perfectly decent food, for pretty decent prices. We wouldn’t bother going there again, when there are so many better places to eat in Florence, but in a pinch it would do.

Delicious Vegan Italian Food! - Edit
We visited in April at around 7pm and were able to get a table with no reservation. The waiter was friendly and helpful (we speak no Italian).
Read moreThe carbonara was amazing, with or without truffles. Eggplant parmesan was pretty good. The breaded seitan (I forget the name) was like a vegan veal cutlet... very tender and juicy.
100% would return again!
Pros: Delicious vegan food, Well-spaced seating area, Friendly service
Cons: None!

As it’s almost 100% vegan there was lots of choice. Food was perfectly fine (we had lasagne and ravioli) but nothing special. Service was attentive and friendly.

Italian nirvana for vegan? - Edit
We had the carbonara alla truffe and the spaghetti amatriciana which were basic but nice. The truffle flavour is light. The pastas are even served with a vegan parmigiana cup to spread on your plate!
Read moreWe had the tiramisu and the chocolate torta with pears for dessert. I did not really felt the coffee in it but it still was nice.

didn't live up to the hype - Edit
The location is good, less than 10 minutes walk from the main railway station. Staff are very friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable.
Read moreLasagne was average and the seitan was a bit salty for me.
I think if the food was made fresh, and if the seitan had salad with it might have tasted better, balance out the saltiness.
