Very simple but sooo delicious! - Edit
This was one of the best places we've eaten in Florence. It doesn't look very fancy and the food was quite simple, but wow - it was amazing! The whole menu is vegan, also the Tiramisu is now vegan. Highly recommended!

Really tasty - Edit
We‘ve been there twice because we liked it a lot. If you don‘t speak Italian it‘s better to use a dictionary to avoid misunderstandings because the owner doesn‘t really speak English.

Grandios - Edit
Direkt um die Ecke von unserem Hotel haben wir dieses wunderbar entspannte Restaurant entdeckt. Das meiste auf der Karte hat allen geschmeckt, und das ist gar nicht so einfach bei unseren Kindern (7 und 10 Jahre), wenn es sich nicht um Pizza oder Burger handelt. Wir haben es sehr genossen und kommen gern noch einmal wieder, so lange wir in Florenz sind.

The food was A-ma-zing - Edit
We had the Truffel Tagliatelle and the Ravioli.
Read moreIt was so good! It says in the menu that everything is vegan except the items with the non-vegan mark, of which there are non on the menu. So everything is vegan. Apple and pear-chocolate pie for dessert. So good.

Horrible experience - Edit
Long story short, when we wanted to pay, the lady (which I guess was the owner) yelled at us for not understanding that the menu of the day couldn't be shared. I have never received a treatment like that at a restaurante, I left the place crying. On top of that, the food was expensive for the little portion I received: 7,50 for 2 and a half slices of eggplant with a salty salad of lettuce. The place is supposed to be peaceful but this woman was nervewracking. Glad not to ever come back.

Amazing! - Edit
Very good textures and presentation of their meals, eventhough the menu doesn't properly describe the options. We tried the blueberry tagliollini and the seitan filet, both of which were amazing. For deserts, we tried the apple pie and tiramisu and a soy cappuccino. Delicios! Would recommend

Loved this place! - Edit

Favorite restaurant ever! - Edit
This restaurant in Florence was easily the best place that we ate in in Italy. The menu is huge and they have a lot of vegan options (including vegan cheese!). Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! My father couldn't believe the carbonara pasta didn't contain eggs or milk. The dessert was also awesome. The staff was so friendly and since we arrived late we were the last ones in but they didn't rush us or anything. The place itself is super cute and Instagram-friendly. We ordered 3 entrees, 3 seconds, 2 thirds, 2 desserts, bottled water and drinks and payed a little over 70EUR.
Read morePros: Great vibe, Amazing food and very good prices, Friendly staff

Disappointing - Edit
Read some great reviews of this restaurant so we decided to try it out. We specifically asked the waiter for recommendations on what was best. It’s not that the food was bad, but just so very bland. Uninteresting and without much flavor. More like dukkha than nirvana!
Read morePros: No worries about hidden meat or broths
Cons: Disappointing

The food was great; the truffle pasta was absolutely to die for and the tofu cheesecake which was probably the best I've ever had! The service and the space were okay too.

Tasty - Edit
We had the truffled spaghetti and the tiramisu it was tasty for sure both having gorgeous creamy texture but portions were not big and in each the truffle/ coffee taste was extremely subtle

Could be better - Edit
This place has many vegan alternatives, all main dishes and starters are vegan. We ate the gnocchi and a rice dish, they weren’t the best. The rice was just mixed with curry, no veggies, no soy meat, no nothing, just rice and curry. It felt like something was missing in the dishes.
Read moreYou know that feeling when you eat at a restaurant that almost only serves meat, and they just take away everything not vegan and serves you what’s left in the dish, so you end up eating just fries or just rice or just potatoes, that’s nirvana.
Pros: Almost everything on the menu is vegan, Descent prices
Cons: Plain food

Sez "vegan" outside, but about 65% only & Vegan Pizza = Bland - Edit
I ordered the vegan pizza (a choice of 1). A thin, barely raised crust of white flour (really? in Italy?) had a tomato sauce that was somewhat bland, and had some melted vegan cheeses that were okay. They would not add a topping of mushrooms when I ordered it. My partner's mushroom lentil soup was nice and came with a vegan parmesean cheese garnish that melted on it. Hot food was served HOT, cold drinks were served cold, so they did a good job in that aspect. However, as we've experienced this before at some veg restaurants, there was a giant picture of Krishna on the wall, and the pizza sauce was bland, we think that they don't use either garlic or onions (as it offends Lord Krishna (well, I wasn't asking HIM to eat any)). No garlic/onions = bland pizza.
Read morePros: Vegetarian (don't know if I'd trust the cheese)., Hot food served hot.
Cons: Non-onion/garlic seasoning = not good for pizza, Not cheap for what you're getting

One of the best meals, and so cheap - Edit
The menu is now all vegan (July 2019), and they have a deal of main and dessert with coffee and water for €10! We had carbonara for main which was excellent. We tried the apple cake and tiramisu for dessert which were lovely, although tiramisu wasn’t very coffee flavoured. Would recommend to anyone
Read morePros: All vegan, Delicious, Cheap

Menu still has items marked as not vegan. The vegan cheese pizza was more expensive than the other pizza's. I think that you are mistaken about all items being vegan. At 11 euros for a simple medium cheese pizza, they aren't that cheap.

Good pasta and friendly staff - Edit
The whole many was vegan (including the tasty tiramisu). The menu was in Italian but the staff could explain. As main course we would recommend the pasta dishes.

Average vegan food - Edit
We ate at Nirvana twice, and actually I found that first courses were ok but the second courses I had weren't so good. I had tagliolini wich is a fresh pasta with truffle cream, that was quite nice, and ravioli with soy ragout: the sauce was very tasty, but totally overwhelmed the flavour of the ravioli vegetable filling, I find that a pity! Than I had the soy and vegetable burger that was nothing exceptional and covered with a red bland sauce, served with roasted potatoes (the potatoes were ok). The other dish I tried was roasted seitan with Chianti wine: the seitan itself was tasteless, but covered with a red wine sauce with a ton of black pepper... I didn't like it... the menu is almost entirely vegan, the only food that is vegetarian is clearly marked (pizzas and tiramisu). I found the staff kind but not well prepared, when we asked information about the plates that answers were not so precise...
Read morePros: Almost entirely large vegan menu , Kind staff
