Perfecto! - Edit
The food was outstanding. As another poster has said, our waiter was an adorable old Italian man. His English was not the best, but much better than our Italian!
Read moreWe ordered Carbonara with Truffles as well as Rice with Artichokes. We had eggplant as a second dish. The rice was fine but the other 2 dishes were perfect.
Pros: Lots of vegan options , Lots of Italian options. , It was good value.
Cons: Waiting time.

Super lecker und freundliches Personal - Edit
Das Restaurant liegt etwas im grünen, was für Florenz Innenstadt wirklich besonders ist. Die Bedienung ist wirklich sehr freundlich, sogar die Köchin kam raus und hat uns zugewunken. Die Karte ist für Veganer mehr als geeignet - es ist eine Ausnahme, etwas nicht veganes zu finden (nicht vegane Speisen/Getränke sind gekennzeichnet). Selbst der Parmesan ist vegan und super authentisch! Rundum ein super Restaurant. Zudem ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut, wir haben für 0,5L Wein, 1L Wasser, 4 Hauptgerichte und 1 Nachtisch ca. 55€ bezahlt.
Read moreSehr zu empfehlen!
Die Bilder zeigen ein 100% veganes Menü.
1) veganes tagliatelle mit Trüffelsoße
2) veganes Filet auf Saitan Basis
3) Gemüse (Zucchini und Aubergine)

Highly recommend!! - Edit
This restaurant was everything a vegan could dream of! The whole menu was vegan which gave me so many options I had trouble choosing! They have appetizers, main courses, second courses, and desert. Of course also vegan wine. The food was delicious and filling. The staff is also extremely friendly. I left this restaurant feeling happy! Would definitely go again!

Huge range of very good Italian classics - Edit
Went here twice while in Florence, as the menu is huge and so much looks good.
Read moreMy favourites would be the tagliatelle with truffle (delish, very good pasta texture), spaghetti amatriciano (very nice and simple tomato based sauce), and spaghetti carbonara with veg (very good, peppery, but which actually didn't have veg, but quite chewy bacon squares).
We also had the cotoletta alla milanese of seitan, which was good and lightly battered but not much flavour.
The caprese salad was made with good tomato and rocket, but the cheese didn't add much flavour.
The soy meatballs were actually zucchini balls, quite mushy and bland, and not what I expected at all. I couldn't finish them.
The tiramisu was okayyyy, it just had way too much cream, which was also a thin texture.
The serves are big, especially for how inexpensive the prices are.
Also the menu states "all the menu is vegan, except for some small dishes marked by no vegan symbol", but the symbol didn't appear anywhere on the menu. Also in Italy, restaurants must state if foods contain certain common allergens (eg. Milk) but the menu doesn't have milk listed as a possible allergen in any of their dishes.
Pros: Delicious pasta, Very affordable, Quick service
Cons: Some descriptions aren't very accurate

Fantastico! - Edit
Great food and extensive menu. Tagliatelle, ravioli, escalope, amatriciana … anything you’re looking for it’s here. The ravioli was delicate and perfectly balanced. The amatriciana was silky with the right amount of peppery bite, and the eggplant Parmesan was *chefs kiss*. Great family run place and just a quick walk from Santa Maria Novella.

Delicious and economical - Edit
The entire menu is vegan 'except for a few items which are marked as non vegan', so the menu says. But I didn't see any non vegan items.
Read moreWe shared the Tagliatelle Tarturo and the Basmati Funghi. They were both delicious, but my favourite was the basmati fungi. It was so, so tasty.
The young waiter was lovely. He practised his English and I practised my Italian and somehow we got through.
Pros: Almost fully vegan, The flavours, Friendly staff

Delicious Vegan Pasta Dishes - Edit
We had the ravioli, spaghetti amatriciana, eggplant parm, and the tofu cake. The ravioli were fantastic- so full of flavor with lots of basil and they were stuffed with spinach ricotta (soy). The eggplant parm was great too- with lots of cheese! The tofu cake was interesting but delicious- kinda like a pudding cake, not quite cheesecake texture but the chocolate crust & raspberry glaze were delicious.

Ottimo! - Edit
Consigliatissimo questo posto vicino all'Arno e a due passi del centro. Siamo stati a cena è siamo rimasti colpiti per la quantità di piatti presenti nel menù. La scelta è veramente molto ampia!! (Forse il restante vegano con più piatti dove sia stata).
Read moreAbbiamo preso un Thali con tanti assaggi proposti dalla cuoca ed erano tutti buonissimi! Poi mio marito ha preso una carbonara veg ed io Strogonof. Molto buono tutto. Come dolci presi tiramisù e tofu cake ai mirtilli. Speciali!
Anche il cameriere molto gentile e il servizio è stato molto veloce.

Tasty Food! - Edit
Really enjoyed our meal here!! We ordered a carbonara and a carbonara with truffle. Both delicious. We had a tiramisu each for dessert which was delicious. We also found the drinks to be nice and cheap (€3 for 0.25l house wine).
Read moreThe menu looked really interesting with lots of pasta dishes that would be hard for vegans to find elsewhere. There was a symbol in the key which indicted when a dish was not vegan but it didn’t turn up anywhere in the actual menu so everything was vegan!
We would definitely come back here if we had time. Really good food, good prices and super lovely staff.

Fully positive experience about Nirvana - Edit
Extensive menu, calm atmosphere. and good service. Had both ravioli (with soy ragu) and pasta carbonara and enjoyed both. Tofu cake was an inspiring surprise. We were two persons and both had three course meals with only 45 euros altogether. Can recommend wholeheartedly!

Delicious food! - Edit
Very tasty appetizers, primo and secondo. Nice portions. In compare to other restaurants in Florence, it's very cheap. Truly recommend, you will find italian food, but also some other dishes. Everything vegan! Also good wine and desserts. Place is quite big, so you should find free table without any problems.
