Many vegan options - Edit
Everything was vegan and they had many choices. First course was good but the seiten was really bad and the desert was okay but nothing special.

I would 100% recommend! - Edit
The restaurant opens at 12, but we arrived 15 minutes ahead of time and they let us in early.
Read moreTheir menu has a lot of choices, but we opted for carbonara with truffles, gnocchi with red pesto, and tiramisu. They also offered us vegan parmesan cheese, homemade bread, and oil.
Everything was absolutely delicious, and I strongly suggest you check this place out!
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Lovely atmosphere

Ottimo ristorante veg - Edit
Ottimo ristorante veg, non troppo lontano dalla stazione. Ho davvero apprezzato l'accoglienza del personale, essere in un locale gestito con amore da persone vegane è sempre bellissimo. E merita un complimento anche che è tutto fatto al momento e non surgelato.
Read moreHo provato il seitan con insalata e patatine al forno: i contorni buonissimi, il seitan per il mio gusto personale era troppo gommoso, anche se la salsa ai marroni era deliziosa. Buono anche il tiramisù.

Sadly disappointing - Edit
Went there for the seitan braised in chianti with really high hopes after all the positive reviews. We ordered two seitan dishes which were both just alright, didn't look like the pictures in previous reviews. The salad was wilted and the potatoes were really oily. The side of grilled vegetables arrived late, without any seasoning and half raw.
Read moreGood to have a vegan option if you're in the area but not worth going out of your way.

Nice Italian cuisine - Edit
Many options to choose from, and nice to taste the Italian cuisine! The carbonara and ravioli tasted good, especially with the vegan parmesan cheese.
Read moreThe tiramisu could be improved. It tasted a bit like vanilla pudding.
The staff is friendly, but the service could be improved. For example, the menu cards are a bit broken/worn, we initially got dry bread without olive oil etc.

Another great vegan spot in Florence! - Edit
We really liked this place, the staff was very nice and the food was tasty. They have a lot of italian classics like lasagna and pasta carbonara. We had eggplant parmigiana and the seitan stroganoff, which were both great! :)

Really good vegan fare in Florence! - Edit
Nirvana is a great restaurant with a nice , fresh vibe, . The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was tasty. Lots of traditional Italian dishes made vegan and they make their own seitan. The plate I got was the spezzatino seitan with potatoes and salad. Very soft and well-made seitan but it could have been a bit more savoury . Maybe more salt? Overall a really good experience at a reasonable price .
Read morePros: Lost of dish choice , Italian traditional dishes , Home-made seitan
Cons: Reasonably priced but mains were quite expensive.

Feel-good restaurant with casual food - Edit
A lot of options, both Italian and otherwise, not a fancy place at all. We both ate the carbonara, which was good for its price. The homemade seitan was excellent (much better than I can ever make), the sauce was tasty and the vegan cheese surprisingly cheese-like. For Italian al dente standards the pasta was overcooked but I personally don't mind. The staff are friendly, the vibe at the restaurant is happy and chill. A bit hot inside and unfortunately no outside seating. Bathroom could use some renovation.

Fine but not great - Edit
I enjoyed the carbonara but found the eggplant parm super underwhelming. Overall, did not meet expectations. Convenient to have a vegan restaurant but not worth the detour imo

Lovely place - Edit
Fully vegan and lots of options. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Ravoli was good. Vegetable stew with tofu was not great though. Soft tofu without much taste. Still I like the atmosphere and I would love to try more of their food. The chocolate pudding was good as well.

Fantastic - Edit
We went twice whilst on a trip to Florence, both times staff were friendly ans welcoming. Stand out dishes was the carbonara and ravioli, and of course the tiramisu which is so creamy however could have a little more coffee flavour. Definitely recommend a visit

Great variety, nice staff - Edit
A dizzying 4 or so pages of vegan dishes to choose from. Lots of seitan-based dishes with seitan that they make in house. Staff was nice and attentive, prices were decent (13€ a dish). Good, tree-shaded outdoor seating options. Went there 2 days in a row

Fully vegan and delicious - Edit
A fully vegan restaurant relatively close to Santa Maria Novella. Despite the name and decor giving the impression of an Indian restaurant, the menu is actually quite diverse and not limited to Indian cuisine. They offer a broad and varied selection of dishes. Service was fast, prices were reasonable by Florence standards, and everything we ate was very tasty. Still, I’m not giving five stars. I'm officially tired of ordering something labeled “tiramisu” in Italy and tasting zero coffee.

Okay but mostly disappointing - Edit
After seeing the good reviews, I was looking forward to trying this completely vegan restaurant. On arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff. The menu was a little hard to navigate, mainly due to translation errors. We ordered wine (which was not good however very cheap so not a problem) and tried to order tap water however the person who served us said they only do bottled water. We then received a bottled "mineral" water, which was definitely tap water. The bottle cap was damaged from having been used so many times, and there was a fill line on the inside of the bottle from repeated use. This felt very dishonest.
Read moreWe had the ravioli and a pizza. The ravioli was alright, certainly nothing special, however was fine. It came very quickly and I strongly suspect it was microwaved. The pizza on the other hand was awful - thick base with very basic tomato sauce and cheap vegan cheese.
Now what I will say though.. the tofu cake was tasty so if you do go, it's worth having that.
Pros: Tofu cake
Cons: Dishonest water policy/sales, Pizza, Microwaved food

Salve, fortunatamente noi non abbiamo microonde…. In Italia usiamo acqua in bottiglia…..e spesso a temperatura ambiente… ovvio che se uno la vuole fresca può usare la parola e dirlo!!il tempo è perfetto, c è chi dice che siamo troppo lenti e chi il contrario…. Quindi è molto soggettivo… ringrazio tutti i veri vegani che sostengono tutte le attività Vegan,che già c’è ne sono poche in Italia… vi aspettiamo tutti nel nostro ristorante dove potete assaporare la nostra cucina sana , equilibrata e senza microonde !! Sempre e solo GO VEGAN

Delicious meat starter, truffle carbonara and seitan pieces that we accidentally ordered together but were actually delicious. However, really disappointing tofu cake. Don’t know if it was the texture or taste but neither of us liked it at all.
