Unhygienic

Biggest issue I had with the restaurant was the starter-bread is reused between customers; I saw them take a piece of bread I didn’t finish on my plate, and put it back into the big bread pile they give the other guests.

Food was ok, but got a bit boring.

Pros: Friendly staff, Cute area

Cons: Bread is unhygienic and gross

great staff, great food

The waiter was hilarious when I told him that I was vegan however, he really made it work for me and I am so grateful for this restaurant. It isn’t a tourist trap. It is authentic Italian food, and definitely worth it.

Do you like mixed salad?

Very nice wait staff; the day we went there were zero vegan options. Zero. Lovely place, just not for us.

i feel like he was joking, you just have to know what you can eat as a vegan…

Highly flavorful but limited options

We enjoyed Alessandro, our waiter who speaks 5 languages and was raised in Florence. We could not determine if there was actual cream in the chickpea soup. But we ordered the Ribolleta, pappa al pomodoro and a pasta with spicy tomato sauce. I was concerned the flavors would be too similar, but they were 3 very different flavor profiles, very filling and delicious. With 2 glasses of wine and bottle of soda water, it was fairly inexpensive. Sat outside. There were 2 hopping nightclubs with loud music across the street, but we enjoyed people watching. Not many other options on the menu, but we really enjoyed what we had.

Pros: 3 different flavor profiles, Friendly waiter, Low priced sit down meal

Cons: Limited options

Gem in San Niccolo

We enjoyed two vegan soups unique to Tuscany and a simple penne with spicy pomodoro. Our waiter Alessandro was entertaining and engaging. Worth a visit if your on the south side of the Arno.

Pros: Very tasty and unique. Great wait staff.

Cons: Typically limited vegan options.

Not vegan friendly

This restaurant is not vegan friendly. When we asked what vegan options they have the waiter laughed at us and was very rude.

Some good Tuscan dishes

Nice traditional Tuscan cuisine, in a crypt dating back to the 11th century. We had some kale croûtons, and some nice soups (ribollita, and a chickpea, spelt, and porcini mushrooms).
The only drawback are the hanging ham legs all around.

Pros: traditional Tuscan cuisine , historic location

Cons: hanging ham legs everywhere
