Great menu

We loved this restaurant and went both nights we were in Florence! The menu is absolutely huge and a good mix of vegetable based dishes plus meat substitute dishes too. Tiramisu was amazing.

Pros: Tiramisu!, Ravioli

Good food

Nice vegan plates. I'll recommnd the second plates, not the primary one as it is just pasta or rice and i was disappointed by the classic taste. Seitan was good. Did not had time to take desert.
I did not get that on the menu it says that some plates can be not vegan.. did not find any though.

Probably the best vegan restaurant

We had the truffle carbonara, which was the best pasta we’ve had get in Italy, and the seitan crumb which was cheesy but still good.
Both also had tirasmisu which was good.

I hesitate giving this a 5 as it still wasn’t ‘amazing’ compared to say the vegan food in London, just the best we’ve come across in Florence, so worth being top of the happy cow list.

My favourite vegan spot in Florence!

I came here based on the recommendations on here and it did not disappoint! Was so lovely to look at a menu and have so much choice. Lots of classic Italian dishes veganised, such as ravioli, carbonara and deserts!

I had a vegan carbonara and a tiramisu and it was delicious. One of the best meals I had! I have seen a couple of people complaining about slow service etc but the people who work here, work very hard and I appreciated them a lot as it was pretty busy on our visit! The young man is particularly helpful and explained to us how the vegan parmesan was made etc..

Such a hidden gem, recommend it to anyone looking for good vegan food in florence ☺️

Pros: Amazing food, So many options, Affordable

Big recommendation!

We had the Carbonara with truffles and the ravioli with soy ragu. As dessert, we had Tiramisu and apple pie. Everything was quite nice, especially for the price, but the Carbonara was really really good, I wish I could take a few kilos of that stuff home. If you like truffles, I can really recommend it!
The truffle pasta was a nice big portion, while the ravioli was a bit small.

Pros: Great truffle dishes, Good prices

Great food

We came here for early lunch, the place is really nice and spacious inside, the service was quick and food was delicious. Artichoke cream rice which was so so tasty and “cheesy” and meatballs were really good. Would totally recommend this place.

Delicious!

Service was prompt and helpful. Very clean throughout. Reasonably priced. The only problem was it all sounded delicious and we ordered way too much for the 2 of us as portions are very generous. We had ravioli, eggplant parmesan, seitan cooked in Chianti, seitan stroganoff, roast potatoes (some came with the Chianti seitan but we ordered more being piggy) and roast veggies. Couldn’t order desert as we were too full but hope to go back tonight!! Highly recommend!

Amazing food

The raviolli and ‘tagliata di seitan’ were very good. For dessert I had the tofu cake. There are so many options on the menu that it took me a while to choose. It’s not an expensive restaurant and the food is well served. About the service, I think they could have more people taking the orders, considering the size of the restaurant. But still a 5-star vegan place.

All vegan italian food

The carbonara with truffles was the star dish of our meal and for dessert we had tiramisu, which was also very nice! The menu is all vegan except for some dishes which are vegetarian but are marked as such.

Pros: All vegan menu, Friendly staff, Calm environment

I would come again

I deliberately ordered two small (waiter-chosen) meals, hi that I could experience more than just one flavour/dish.
The first, a cabanara, was really yummy, but a little salty. The other, "meat" balls was delicious.
Topped off nicely by some warm apple pie.
The owner was super friendly and helpful, as was the Georgian waitstaff.
I would come again.

Edit:
I did go again... the following evening, with some friends. The food was sooo good. My vegan-friendly vegetarian friends were so impressed.

Some Vegan Options

Currently, the restaurant is considered to be 100% vegan. When we went there in July 2019, the waiter commented that the tiramisu was not vegan (we didn't eat it because of this). But the owner confirmed in the messages below that the restaurant is 100% vegan. A bit far from the center in Florence's hot summer. We ordered a gnocchi. It was a very small dish with a reasonably high price for the quantity, but it was super tasty. I think it was worth the experience. The waiter spoke good English and attended to us very well. We ordered a natural orange juice, but it was expensive compared to Brazilian prices. The bill included VAT of 20%. On the day, we had understood that this was the tip, but it isn't, according to the owner's comment. We didn't return to the restaurant again during our stay in Florence.

Atualmente, o restaurante é considerado como 100% vegano. Em julho de 2019, quando fomos ao local, o atendente comentou que o tiramisu não era vegano (acabamos não comendo por causa disso). Mas o proprietário confirmou nas mensagens abaixo que o restaurante é 100% vegano. Um pouco afastado do centro no verão quente de Florença. Pedimos um gnocchi. Era um prato muito pequeno com um preço razoavelmente alto para a quantidade, mas estava super saboroso. Acho que valeu a experiência. O atendente falava bem inglês e nos atendeu muito bem. Pedimos um sumo de laranja natural, mas era caro comparado com os preços brasileiros. Na conta, consta o IVA de 20%. No dia, havíamos entendido que era a gorjeta, mas não é, segundo o comentário do proprietário. Acabou que não voltamos mais ao restaurante durante nossa estadia em Florença.

Hi! The menu is all Vegan….. the 20% is the VAT, italian name is IVA. Here if one people want give a tip he is free to do .
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you very much for the review

Thank you for your feedback. At the time, in 2019, the attendant commented that the tiramisù was not 100% vegan. How nice then that it isn't anymore! At the time, I had understood that this 20% was a tip, but now I understand that it is the VAT tax.

Must try!!

I’ve been vegan for five years and this is the best carbonara I have ever tried. I ordered the carbonara truffle and I know I’m gonna come back to Florence just to try it again! The waiters were very very nice and the prices are cheap for where you are and what you’re getting. You can’t miss it.

Pros: Amazing carbonara, Friendliest staff, Good price

Cons: n

Great food, but that's it.

The food is great and not expensive at all. That's where the compliments end on my part.

The service here is pretty slow and full of mistakes. We were given someone else's appetizer before we had ordered anything and were charged for it after, even though it was presented to us as a welcome bite or something like that. The toilet was unusably dirty.
