Ok, nothing special - Edit
Clearly labbeled vegan and vegetarian dishes, there were vegan options in every course, but no vegan appetizers. The portions came in a good size. I ordered pici for pasta, which was ok, nothing special, I've had better. It lacked salt, in my opinion, but that's not a big deal. The service was a little slow and the place seems to get full fast, so it's better to make a reservation, especially if you're in more than two people.

TEeP - Edit
Wonderful restaurant, I only took away a star because they were out of the seitan main (the whole reason I went to this restaurant). We were the first table, so I found this perplexing. The Tuscan soup was wonderful. The spaghetti with beyond meat was good but it seemed more like TVP instead of beyond meat. They suggested I order a bunch of sides to replace the main and I found these all basic (beans, steamed veggies, and potatoes). I’d try this place again though. It’s nice to have more authentic Italian food.

THE BEST PASTA I HAVE EVER HAD - Edit
Oh wow...i got the vegan spaghetti and my mind was blown. Its hands down the tastiest pasta i have ever had, wish i had more days in Florence to try other dishes. The staff were lovely too
Read moreEDIT FROM 16/12/24
I came back to Florence and ate here. This is still the best pasta I've ever had in my life.
We also got dessert, it was delicious but ridiculously tiny.

Clearly labelled vegan options, good variety - Edit
Highly recommend the seitan stew - really nice change to pasta pomodoro and pizza marinara! Multiple vegan options, all clearly labelled. Lovely servers, pretty location - filled with locals and which seemed like a good sign.

Lovely vegan food - Edit
Lovely restaurant with lots of clearly labelled vegan food and nice setting when sitting outside. We ate here twice and loved it. We got the zucchini penne pesto dish and the “ragu finto” both of which were really nice. The roast potatoes were also delicious. Second time we ordered the spicy tomato spaghetti and the mushroom porcini both of which were also great. Highly recommend!

They had several vegan options. All clearly labelled. Staff was friendly. Highly recommended if you are having a meal with meat eaters as they have both vegan and non vegan options

Food was great, service... meh - Edit
Went there with omnivore friends and everybody found something they liked. As vegan options we chose the penne with zucchini pesto which were delicious as well as the Seitan (also quite good). They were really busy though (people were waiting to be seated all over the place) and it was hard for us to get the waiters' attention and they kept forgetting about us so we ended up waiting an hour to pay. Vegan meals had their own respective symbol on the menu.
Read morePros: Great food, Quite obvious vegan signs on the menu, Location
Cons: Really busy, Hard to get waiters' attention without screaming

Options véganes - Edit
Juste à côté de notre hôtel donc pratique pour tester. J'ai pris des pâtes au pesto de courgettes, très bonnes. Mon conjoint des gnocchi (végétarien). Le service est OK mais un peu lent effectivement.

Proposte vegan - Edit
Ristorante onnivoro il cui gestore essendo vegetariano è attento anche al vegan, e infatti a menu ci sono tre primi piatti vegani, un secondo - stufato di seitan con verdure (!) e sfido a trovarlo altrove se non in ristoranti prettamente veg* - e anche tra i dolcì qualche alternativa di trova. Insomma da apprezzare lo sforzo

Not many options anymore. - Edit
Only option at the moment seems to be cheese-less pizza type meals. They still tried to be helpful though.

Amazing Tuscany food - Edit

Wasn’t horrible - Edit
My partner and I had the pesto vegan pasta and the seitan ragu pasta, both of which were very average. Just super bland and boring flavors and very undercooked pasta. Not bad but nothing to rave about honestly.

Good Italian food - Edit
We had lunch here, it’s a traditional Italian restaurant with meat dishes, but veggie and vegan items clearly marked. They had 3 vegan pasta dishes, we had the zucchini pesto penne and the spaghetti with spicy tomato sauce(it wasn’t spicy though-which the waitress warned me about). We also had the sautéed chard. Generous amounts of olive oil. Vegan bread served with meal. Nice waitress.No vegan desert (except fruit). Nice to finally have a vegan meal in a traditional Italian restaurant after being in Italy for 2 weeks. Good value.
Read morePros: 3 vegan pasta options., Nice atmosphere
Cons: Good value., No vegan protein (seitan, tofu, etc) on menu.
