Nice place but earthy food - Edit
This is lovely place with attentive staff and great vibes. However the food is what I would class at the 'earthy' end of the vegan scale. I didn't feel wowwed - pasta was nice but nothing special. The salad was ok but it was just green beans in pesto. The falafal wasn't great and came with an odd curry sauce. Overall, there is better out there and for cheaper.

Absolutely divine - Edit
You cannot go wrong here. By far the best food I have eaten after months in Florence. Do yourself a favor and get 1) Agnolotti with onion and prune -- one of most incredible pastas I have ever had; 2) tempeh -- best tempeh I've ever had across several countries

Nice flavor - Edit
Like other posts state, the staff can be sassy. We called several times to make a reservation and never got through. Went in person around noon and booked the last reservation of the day. The ambiance is a neat idea but I probably won’t go back. Their were other vegan places in the area I enjoyed the ambiance more and the food just as much.
Read moreThe food had nice spices which is hard to come by in Italy. We got an avocado salad (the avocado was runny, the nutritional yeast sauce under it was the highlight), then a risotto (very well done, vegetables cooked were perfect, nice blend of spices), Falafel (nice spicy kick). We also ordered carrot juice (it tasted like apple juice, neither of us could taste the carrot).

Cute place, get a reservation! - Edit
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.

Top Notch Spot - Edit
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.

Unique and amazing flavours - Edit
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.

One of the best veggie restaurant I experienced - Edit
Very fine meals with lots of taste
Read moreWe 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 - Edit
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.

Tasty veg pasta - Edit
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.

Lovely bistro - Edit
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!
Read morePros: Beautiful space , Eclectic food, Nice staff

Locale molto bello e personale gentile - Edit
Il locale è molto carino e ben curato.
Read moreAl 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.

Une vraie perle cachée ! - Edit
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 - Edit
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!
